 Exhibit 10.1 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of the 2nd day of August 2021 by and between Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and John M. Maraganore, Ph.D. (the “Executive”). 
 1. Purpose. The
Company considers it in the best interests of its stockholders to promote and preserve the continuous employment of key management personnel. Therefore, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to set forth the terms upon
which the Executive’s employment will continue with the Company. This Agreement also incorporates the terms of the Change In Control Agreement dated November 2, 2020 between the Executive and the Company. 

2. Position and Duties. 

(a) The Executive will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will continue to report directly and solely to the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will continue to have the duties, responsibilities and functions customarily associated with such position in a company the size and nature of the Company, subject to the direction of the
Board and such specific responsibilities as may be assigned to the Executive Chair from time to time (in consultation with the Executive Chair and the Executive). The Executive’s place of employment will continue to be at the Company’s
offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
 (b) The Executive will continue to devote his full working time to the performance of his duties for
the Company. Additionally, it is understood and agreed that the Executive’s current service on boards of directors and other bodies as specified on Attachment A to this Agreement continue to be permitted and that the Executive may, with the
Board’s prior written consent, serve on the board of directors of other publicly held or private companies or of civic, charitable, educational or other non-profit organizations so long as such activities
do not interfere with, or conflict with, his duties for, or obligations to, the Company or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. 

(c) An Executive Chair position shall be established by the Board for the purpose of further enhancing the Company’s governance in areas
including but not limited to (i) activities surrounding the Company’s ethics and compliance functions and program, (ii) supporting the oversight of the independent investigatory response to the subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s
Office for the District of Massachusetts, and (iii) enabling the Executive to devote more time and attention to other Company operations and other matters. A specific duty of the Executive and the Executive Chair shall be to collaborate with
each other, including the Executive inviting the Executive Chair to Management Board meetings having topics relating to ethics and compliance and to Quarterly Business Review meetings. In accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance
Guidelines, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board shall periodically assess the Board’s leadership structure, including whether to maintain the Executive Chair position. 

 3. Term. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement will continue for a
term ending on December 31, 2023 (the “Initial Term”). Following the Initial Term, the term will automatically renew for one-year periods unless either party notifies the other party in writing
of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or such one-year period (the Initial Term and any subsequent renewal periods, the “Term”).

 4. Compensation and Benefits. 

(a) The Executive’s current compensation for the 2021 performance year will continue in accordance with the Company’s current
compensation plans and practices. The Executive’s compensation for the 2022 performance year and thereafter during the Term will be established and determined by the Board following its consideration of the recommendations of the People,
Culture and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), with the objective of aligning the Executive’s target total direct compensation with chief executive officer target total direct compensation in the
market. 
 (b) The Executive will be eligible to receive a one-time award of $3,000,000, payable in
shares of Company common stock, based on the Board’s assessment on the third anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, in its discretion, of the continued enhancements to the Company’s ethics and compliance functions and program
(and pace of continued enhancement), the collaboration between the Executive Chair and the Executive, and the Executive’s contribution to the Company’s long-term prospects and success, subject to the Executive’s continued employment
through such date. 
 (c) The Executive will continue to be eligible and participate in retirement, health and welfare benefits and
perquisites, vacation and reimbursement of business expenses in accordance with the Company’s plans, programs and policies as in effect from time to time. 

(d) Executive will continue to have the right to exercise his outstanding, vested and unexercised
non-qualified stock options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2018 Equity Plan and the award agreement pursuant to which such options were granted. In accordance with the
Company’s current practices and subject to blackout periods, the Executive shall have the right to implement 10b5-1 trading plans to sell his existing stock holdings or exercise and hold or sell vested,
expiring stock options. In addition, any outstanding, vested and unexercised non-qualified stock option held by the Executive on its expiration date shall be exercised by the Company on its expiration by a
“net exercise” arrangement and with withholding satisfied by shares retained from the stock option, each as provided under the applicable provisions of the Company’s 2018 Equity Plan and approved by the Compensation Committee, as a
result of which the Executive shall receive the number of shares of common stock underlying the option reduced by the number of shares equal to the aggregate exercise price of the option divided by the fair market value on the date of exercise and
further reduced by the number of shares equal to the aggregate withholding due divided by the fair market value on such date; provided, that where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations, the total tax withholding cannot
exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), unless
withholding at a higher rate 

 
would not result in adverse accounting treatment (in which case such withholding shall not exceed maximum statutory withholding rates). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) net shares delivered
in respect of such option exercise shall be subject to any blackout, holding periods or stock ownership guidelines applicable to the Executive from time-to-time,
(ii) all awards made to the Executive under the Company’s 2018 Equity Plan continue to be subject to the Company’s clawback policies currently in effect and (iii) all awards made to the Executive prior
to August 2018 are subject to only the Company’s Clawback Policy, effective December 17, 2014, attached as Attachment B. 
 (e) The
Indemnification Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated September 16, 2016 and the letter agreement between the Company and Choate, Hall & Stewart dated as of April 24, 2021 shall remain in full force and effect.

 (f) The Company will reimburse the Executive for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement in an amount not exceed $15,000 as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof. 

5. Terminating Event. The Executive remains employed on an “at-will” basis. A
“Terminating Event” shall mean any of the events provided in this Section 5: 
 (a) Termination by the Company for
Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, for Disability or in the event of death. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 

(i) conduct by the Executive constituting a material act of misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties,
including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; or 

(ii) the commission by the Executive of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud, or
any conduct by the Executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates if the Executive were retained in his position; or 

(iii) continued deliberate failure by the Executive of his material duties and responsibilities to the Company (other than by
reason of the Executive’s physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability); or 
 (iv) a material breach of any
provision of any agreement(s) between the Executive and the Company relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisclosure and/or assignment of inventions, including the Executive’s Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition and Assignment of
Intellectual Property Agreement; or 

 (v) a material violation by the Executive of the Company’s written
policies, including but not limited to any Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery or Insider Trading Policy; or 
 (vi) failure to
cooperate reasonably in any material respect with a bona fide internal investigation of a potential material matter or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company to cooperate, or the willful
destruction or willful failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the willful inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such
investigation. 
 A Terminating Event shall not be deemed to have occurred pursuant to this Section 5(a) solely as a result of the
Executive being an employee of any direct or indirect successor to the business or assets of the Company, rather than continuing as an employee of the Company following a Change in Control. 

For purposes hereof, the Executive will be considered “Disabled” if, as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical
or mental illness, the Executive shall have been absent from his duties to the Company on a fulltime basis for 180 calendar days in the aggregate in any 12-month period. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Cause” shall not be found under clause (iii) or clause (vi) unless the Executive has
failed to cure (if curable) any alleged deficiency within 30 days after written notice from the Board which identifies in reasonable detail the alleged conduct for which a “Cause” determination is being contemplated. 

(b) Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment with the Company for Good Reason. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has complied with the “Good Reason Process” (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) a material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, duties or authority or a diminution in the Executive’s
title or reporting relationship; 
 (ii) a diminution in the Executive’s base salary or bonus opportunity except for across-the-board reductions based on the Company’s financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company; 

(iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive provides services to the Company; or 

(iv) the material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other material written agreement with the Executive. 

“Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a “Good Reason”
condition has occurred; (ii) the Executive notifies the Company in writing of the first occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 60 days of the first 

 
occurrence of such condition; (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure
Period”), to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist; and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within 60 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures
the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. 
 Assigning duties to the Executive
Chair from time to time consistent with that role will not constitute Good Reason. 
 (c) Termination After a Change in Control. A
“Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: 
 (i)
any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity
holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule
12b-2 under the Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board (“Voting Securities”) (in such case other
than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or 
 (ii) the date a majority of the members of
the Board is replaced during any 24-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election; or 

(iii) the consummation of (x) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company,
immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly,
shares representing in the aggregate 50 percent or more of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), other than a merger or consolidation which
would result in a majority of the board of directors of the combined entity being comprised of members of the board of directors of the pre-transaction Company and the chief executive officer of the combined
entity being the chief executive officer of the pre-transaction Company, in each case immediately following the consummation of such merger or consolidation and continuing for one year following such
consummation, or (y) any sale or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company that, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares of
Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the
beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter
beneficially owns 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities, then a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i). 

(d) Termination without Cause or Resignation by Executive without Good Reason. The Executive may resign his position at any time upon 60-days’ prior written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 11(a) hereof. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time without Cause upon
60-days’ prior written notice in accordance with Section 11(a) hereof. The Company may accelerate the effective date of such notice period by providing compensation in lieu of the notice period,
subject to Section 9 hereof. 
 6. Effect of a Terminating Event. 

(a) In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason prior to a Change in Control, subject to the Executive signing a separation agreement containing, among other provisions, a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities, confidentiality, return of
property and mutual non-disparagement, in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all
within 60 days after the Date of Termination, and the Executive’s compliance with Section 7 of this Agreement, the following shall occur: 

(i) All outstanding unvested equity awards held by the Executive on the Termination Date shall continue to vest until the
second anniversary of the Termination Date. 
 (ii) All outstanding stock options held by the Executive on the Termination
Date that are then exercisable or become exercisable pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) above shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the second anniversary of the Termination Date and the original expiration dates of such options. 

(iii) The Company and the Executive shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to agree on the language of internal and public
statements relating to the Executive’s termination. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the Executive shall not be eligible to receive any cash
severance from the Company and currently has no rights to any severance benefits under any current Company severance pay plan (other than the Change in Control severance payments provided in Section 6(b) of this Agreement) and (B) all
outstanding equity awards will stop vesting and all outstanding stock options will cease to be exercisable upon the date of any material breach by the 

 
Executive of his obligations hereunder or under his Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition and Assignment of Intellectual Property Agreement dated December 9, 2002. The Executive shall
promptly return to the Company, upon the Compensation Committee’s request, any amounts realized as a result of clause (i) of this Section 6(a) in the event the Compensation Committee determines that the Executive has engaged in
significant misconduct resulting in a violation of a significant Company policy, law or regulation relating to manufacturing, promotion, marketing or sale of products or product candidates that causes material harm to the Company. For the avoidance
of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, all awards made to the Executive prior to August 2018 are subject to only the Company’s Clawback Policy, effective December 17, 2014, attached as Attachment B. 

(b) In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason within 12 months after a Change in Control, subject to the Executive signing a Separation Agreement and Release and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 60 days after the Date of Termination, the following
shall occur: 
 (i) the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to 2 times the sum of
(x) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Terminating Event (or the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, if higher) and (y) the Executive’s
target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurred; 
 (ii) if the Executive was participating in the
Company’s group health plan immediately prior to the Date of Termination and elects COBRA health continuation, then the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly cash payment for 24 months or the Executive’s COBRA health continuation
period, whichever ends earlier, in an amount equal to the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide health insurance to the Executive if the Executive had remained employed by the Company; and 

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable option agreement or stock-based award agreement, all stock
options and other stock-based awards held by the Executive shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Executive’s Date of Termination. The Executive shall also be entitled to any other rights and
benefits with respect to stock-related awards, to the extent and upon the terms provided in the employee stock option or incentive plan or any agreement or other instrument attendant thereto pursuant to which such options or awards were granted.

 The amounts payable under this Section 6(b) shall be paid or commence to be paid within 60 days after the Date of Termination;
provided, however, that if the 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, such payment shall be paid or commence to be paid in the second calendar year by the last day of
such 60-day period. 

 7. Post-Termination Covenants. 

(a) Nondisclosure and Noncompetition. The Executive hereby acknowledges that he lawfully entered into the Employee Nondisclosure,
Noncompetition and Assignment of Intellectual Property Agreement and that it currently remains in effect. In further consideration for benefits provided to the Executive in this Agreement, by signing this Agreement, the Executive is reaffirming the
post-employment restrictive covenants and the other terms and conditions of the Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition and Assignment of Intellectual Property Agreement. 

(b) Cooperation. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the Executive’s duties as a director, officer and employee of the
Company and obligations under the Company’s Code of Conduct and other Company policies, the Executive and the Company agree to reasonably cooperate following the Termination Date in any investigation, defense or prosecution of any claims,
investigations, actions or other matters now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company, including (if applicable and without limitation) with respect to the investigatory response to the subpoena from the
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. The Executive’s cooperation following the Termination Date in connection with such claims, investigations or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being reasonably available
to meet with the Company’s counsel to prepare for discovery or any mediation, arbitration, trial, administrative hearing or other proceeding or to act as a witness when reasonably requested by the Company at mutually agreeable times and at
locations mutually convenient to the Executive and the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred in the provision of such assistance following the Termination Date. 

(c) Non-Disparagement. The Company will use best reasonable efforts to cause current members of
the Company’s Management Board and its Board of Directors not to make or publish any written or oral disparaging or defamatory statements about the Executive and the Executive agrees not to make or publish any written or oral disparaging or
defamatory statements about the Company, members of its Management Board or its Board of Directors. 
 8. Additional Limitation. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by
the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Code and the applicable
regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate
Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which the Executive becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in the Executive receiving a higher
After Tax Amount (as defined below) than the Executive would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological
order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (1) cash payments not subject to Section

 
409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash
forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1,
Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1,
Q&A-24(b) or (c). 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 8, the “After Tax Amount”
means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on the Executive as a result of the Executive’s receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After
Tax Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes
at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. 

(c) The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be made by a
nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the Date of Termination, if
applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Executive. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. 

9. Section 409A. 
 (a)
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Executive is a
“specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Executive becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Executive’s separation from
service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not
be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Executive’s death. 

(b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this
Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder
without additional cost to either party. 

 (c) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses
eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by the Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no
event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided, or reimbursable expenses
incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 (d) To the extent that
any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable
upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Executive’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred
shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 

(e) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this
Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section. 

10. Withholding. All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts
required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. 
 11. Notice and Date of Termination. 

(a) Notice of Termination. During the Term, any purported termination of the Executive’s employment (except for a
termination for Cause, without Good Reason or by reason of death) shall be communicated at least 60 days in advance by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with this Section 11. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. The Company may pay the Executive base salary in lieu of notice within 60 days
after the Date of Termination, subject to Section 9 above. 
 (b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall
mean: (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of the Executive’s death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of the Executive’s Disability, the date on which Notice
of Termination is given; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of any applicable cure period as described in Section 5(a) hereof;
(iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive’s resignation without Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, 60 days after the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; and (v) if the
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given after the end of the Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive gives a Notice of
Termination to the Company, the Company may unilaterally accelerate the Date of Termination and pay the Executive compensation owed for the notice period, subject to Section 9 above, and such acceleration shall not result in a termination by
the Company for purposes of this Agreement. 

 12. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Executive’s employment by the
Company is terminated during the term of this Agreement, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof. Further, the
amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or by retirement benefits. 

13. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise
arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
be settled by a single arbitrator under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules
and procedures applicable to the selection of an arbitrator. The parties agree that the parties shall bear their own costs and attorneys fees except when Massachusetts law provides that the prevailing party is to be awarded their costs and attorney
fees. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall pay the entire filing fee for any arbitration involving clawback, forfeiture or recoupment of vested options. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Company may be a
party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 13 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 13 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary
restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 13. 

14. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 13 of this
Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the
Executive (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consents to service of process; and (c) waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal
jurisdiction or service of process. 
 15. Protected Disclosures. The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement
or any other agreement limits the Executive’s ability to communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, including to provide documents or other information, without notice to the Company. The Executive also
understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement limits the Executive’s ability to share compensation information concerning the Executive or others, except that this does not permit the Executive to disclose compensation
information concerning others that the Executive obtains because the Executive’s job responsibilities require or allow access to such information. 

 16. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. The Executive understands that pursuant to the
federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state,
or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit
or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal 
 17. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Change In Control Agreement dated November 2,
2020 between the Executive and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee Nondisclosure, Noncompetition and Assignment of Intellectual Property Agreement the Indemnification Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated
September 16, 2016 and the letter agreement between Alnylam and Choate, Hall & Stewart dated as of April 24, 2021 shall remain in full force and effect and are not superseded by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
(i) the Executive’s rights and responsibilities with respect to outstanding stock options held by the Executive on the date of this Agreement shall be governed by the terms of the award agreement pursuant to which such options were
granted, the Company’s 2018 Equity Plan and related policies in effect on the date of this Agreement as modified herein and (ii) all awards made to the Executive prior to August 2018 are subject to only the Company’s Clawback Policy,
effective December 17, 2014, attached as Attachment B. 
 18. Successor to the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the Executive’s death after a Terminating Event but prior to the completion
by the Company of all payments due him under this Agreement, the Company shall continue such payments to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to the Executive’s death (or to his estate, if the Executive
fails to make such designation). 
 19. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
any portion or provision of any Section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in
circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

 20. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in
writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of
such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight currier service of by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to

shall be construed to limit the rights of the Executive under the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies except as otherwise provided in Section 8 hereof, and except that the Executive shall have no rights to any severance benefits
under any current Company severance pay plan other than the Change in Control severance payments provided in Section 6(b) of this Agreement. 

24. Governing Law. This is a Massachusetts contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the

interpreted and applied by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. 
 25. Successor to Company. The Company shall
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement at or prior to the effectiveness of any succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

Clawback Policy 
 It is
the policy of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) to require, to the extent determined to be appropriate by the Board of Directors, any “Covered Executive” who engaged in “Misconduct” that resulted in a
“Financial Restatement” to repay to the Company, in cash and upon demand, any “Excess Proceeds” from “Incentive Compensation” received by the Covered Executive during any “Clawback Period.” The repayment of
Excess Proceeds is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other relief available to the Company due to the Covered Executive’s Misconduct. This policy shall be effective December 17, 2014, and apply to Incentive Compensation that is both
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and awarded on or after that date. 
 “Clawback Period” means the
12-month period following the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of any financial statements that subsequently become the subject of a Financial Restatement. 

“Covered Executive” means any officer with the title of Vice President or a more senior title. 

“Excess Proceeds” means any portion of Incentive Compensation paid, granted or distributed to a Covered Executive during a Clawback
Period that is greater than the amount that would have been paid, granted or distributed if calculated based on any restated financial results, net of taxes due or paid. In the case of any Incentive Compensation paid in the form of an equity award,
Excess Proceeds shall be determined by reference to the sale proceeds of the shares, net of any applicable exercise price and taxes due or paid if the shares have been sold, and in the event the shares have not been sold, the fair market value of
the shares recognized in income of the Covered Executive, net of taxes due or paid and in the event the equity award has not become vested, then the non-vested portion of the equity award shall be forfeited. 

“Financial Restatement” means any material restatement, whether required by law or determined by the Board of Directors to be in the
best interests of the Company, of financial statements included in a filing by the Company with the SEC because of noncompliance, due to Misconduct, with financial reporting requirements under federal securities laws. 

“Incentive Compensation” means any cash or equity-based compensation if the payment, grant or vesting of such compensation was
predicated on the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a Financial Restatement. 

“Misconduct” means an act of embezzlement, fraud, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty, as determined by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors or another committee of independent directors and ratified by the Board of Directors. 
 Implementation
rules for the mandatory clawback requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) have yet to be finalized as of the date of initial adoption of this policy. However, to the extent necessary,
this policy will be amended by the Board of Directors to conform with the final Dodd-Frank rules once issued and applicable to the Company.Document

41(ii)     the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
42(b)     for purposes of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;

44“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to thesuch then-current Benchmark:
45(a)     in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
46(b)     in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”,” the first date ofon which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the publicmost recent statement or publication of information referenced thereinin such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date;
47(c)     in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is 30 days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(cb)(ii); or
48(d)     in the case of an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the sixth Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business 

Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

Restricted Debt Payment and (II) at the election of the Borrower, to the extent a definitive agreement with respect to such other Acquisition or Investment has been executed (or, in the case of any Acquisition or Investment made pursuant to a tender or similar offer, to the extent such offer has been commenced) or irrevocable notice with respect to such other Restricted Debt Payment has been delivered (which Acquisition, Investment or Restricted Debt Payment has not yet been consummated and with respect to which such definitive agreement, tender or similar offer or notice has not terminated or been revoked without the consummation thereof), any other Acquisition, Investment or Restricted Debt Payment (and/or any related incurrence or prepayment Indebtedness (including the intended use of proceeds thereof) and any other transactions relating thereto) that the Borrower has elected to be tested as set forth in this paragraph.

It is further agreed that, in connection with the calculation of any financial ratio applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts, such test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for the incurrence of such Indebtedness (including any Acquisition or Investment consummated concurrently therewith and any other application of the proceeds thereof), but without netting the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness, and in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting revolving Indebtedness or delayed draw Indebtedness, assuming that such Indebtedness is fully drawn.
(d)  It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Investment, Disposition, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one clause or subclause of Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.04, 6.05, 6.07 or 6.08, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination of clauses or subclauses of such Section, all as classified or, to the extent such alternative classification would have been permitted at the time of the relevant action, reclassified by the Borrower in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, and shall constitute a usage of any availability under such clause or subclause only to the extent so classified or reclassified thereto; provided that the credit facilities established hereunder may only be permitted

SECTION I.9.  Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up for five).
SECTION I.10.  Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws):  (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
SECTION I.11.  Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.    The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that,: (a) immediately after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate uponDecember 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or 

that the administrator  of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, publicthis Agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments.  Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rateLIBOR.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Sections 2.13(b)(i) and 2.13(b)(cii) provide thea mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.13(eb)(iv), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rateLIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to  Sections 2.13(b) or 2.13(c(i) and (b)(ii), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.13(db)(iii)), including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(c)  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.  Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
SECTION II.02.  Loans and Borrowings.
(a)  Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve 

any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.
(b)  Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.14 shall apply); provided further that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.14 or 2.16 with respect to such Loan than that to which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).
(c)  At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that a Eurodollar Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing.  At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or the amount required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.04(f).  Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
(d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans.
SECTION II.03.  Requests for Borrowings.
(a)  To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written Borrowing Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that (A) any such notice of a Borrowing to be made under an Incremental Facility Agreement or a Refinancing Facility Agreement may be given no later than such later time as shall be specified therefor therein and (B) any such notice of a Eurodollar Borrowing to be made on the First Amendment Effective Date may be given no later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the First Amendment Effective Date.  Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable.

(b)  Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)  the Class of such Borrowing;
(ii)  the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing;
(iii)  the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv)  whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(v)  in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
(vi)  the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any ABR Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION II.04.  Letters of Credit.
(a)  General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit (or to amend or extend outstanding Letters of Credit) for its own account (or, so long as the Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant with respect thereto, the account of any Subsidiary), denominated in dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, and each Issuing Bank agrees so to issue (or amend or extend) Letters of Credit.  Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (f) of this Section), to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Letter of Credit, any letter of credit application or any other document entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, (i) no Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other such document shall contain any representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, the terms thereof shall be rendered null and void (or reformed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person)), (ii) any provisions thereof purporting to grant liens in favor of such Issuing Bank to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, it being agreed that such obligations shall be secured to the extent provided in this Agreement and in the Security Documents, and (iii) in the event of any other inconsistency between the terms and conditions thereof and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  A Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will only be of a type approved for issuance hereunder by such Issuing Bank (it being understood and 

agreed that standby Letters of Credit shall be deemed of the type that is approved), and issuance, amendment and extension of Letters of Credit shall be subject to such Issuing Bank’s customary policies and procedures for issuance of letters of credit.  An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the First Amendment Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it.
(b)  Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic extension permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section), the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any such request.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon each issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank will not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank (unless agreed by such Issuing Bank), (ii) no Revolving Lender will have a Revolving Exposure greater than its Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
(c)  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension) or such longer period as may be agreed to between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank and (ii) unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “Backstopped Letter of Credit”), in either case on terms and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic extension provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such extension.
(d)  Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable 

Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended or extended (or, in the case of an automatic extension permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).
(e)  Disbursements.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the applicable Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)  Reimbursements.  If an Issuing Bank shall make an LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  If the Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the 

Administrative Agent thereof, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for an LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(g)  Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept 

and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(h)  Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.
(i)  Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(i) or 7.01(j).  The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b) or 2.19.  Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the direction of the Borrower but subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Security Documents, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Aggregate 

Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(j)  Designation of Additional Issuing Banks.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, executed by the Borrower and such designated Revolving Lender, which shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Revolving Lender, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.
(k)  Termination of an Issuing Bank.  The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent.  Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.  At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b).  Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue any additional Letters of Credit or amend or extend any existing Letter of Credit.
(l)  Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent such information with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(m)  LC Exposure Determination.  For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases (other than any such increase consisting of the reinstatement of an amount previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination, and (ii) if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the ISP or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the Borrower and each Revolving Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing 

Banks and the Revolving Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.
(n)  Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Others.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Subsidiary, or states that any Subsidiary is the “account party”, “applicant”, “customer”, “instructing party” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all LC Disbursements thereunder, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.11(b)) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of its Subsidiaries.
SECTION II.05.  Funding of Borrowings.
(a)  Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., New York City time (or, in the case of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, if later, the time that is four hours after the delivery of the Borrowing Request therefor or, in the case of any Borrowing made under an Incremental Facility Agreement or a Refinancing Facility Agreement, such other time as shall be specified therefor therein), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or, in the case of ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f), to the Issuing Bank specified by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without 

prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION II.06.  Interest Elections.
(a)  Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b)  To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.
(c)  Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)  the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)  the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)  whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv)  if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)  Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)  If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a Term Borrowing, be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period of one month or (ii) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, be converted to an ABR Borrowing.  

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Borrower or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class, has notified the Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing of any Class (or of such Class, as applicable) may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class (or of such Class, as applicable) shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION II.07.  Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a)  Unless previously terminated, (i) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) the Tranche A Term Commitments shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (A) immediately following the making of the Tranche A Term Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date and (B) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the First Amendment Effective Date, and (iii) each Class of Commitments established pursuant to Section 2.21 or 2.22 shall terminate at the time specified therefor in the applicable Extension Agreement or Refinancing Facility Agreement.
(b)  The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, (A) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or (B) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Revolving Commitment.
(c)  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
SECTION II.08.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(b)  The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further that, in the event of any inconsistency between the records maintained by the Administrative Agent and any Lender’s records, the records of the Administrative Agent shall govern.
(c)  Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(d)  Any prepayment of a Tranche A Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche A Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled repayments of the Tranche A Term Borrowings in direct order of maturity); provided that (i) any prepayment of Tranche A Term Borrowings made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) shall be applied, first, to reduce in direct order of maturity the eight subsequent scheduled repayments of Tranche A Term Borrowings remaining following the date of such prepayment unless and until such repayments have been eliminated as a result of reductions hereunder and, second, to the remaining scheduled repayments of the Tranche A Term Borrowings ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments and (ii) any prepayment of Tranche A Term Borrowings made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii), 2.10(b)(iv) or 2.22 shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Tranche A Term Borrowings

(e)  Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of any Class under this Section, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent (which may be by telephone) (confirmed promptly by delivery of a written notice signed by the Borrower) of such selection not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment.  Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Borrowing.  Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid.
SECTION II.10.  Prepayment of Loans.
(a)  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but, if applicable, subject to Section 2.15), subject to the requirements of this Section.
(b)  (i)  In the event and on each occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(ii)  No later than the 10th Business Day after the date on which the financial statements with respect to each fiscal year of the Borrower are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), commencing with the fiscal year of the Borrower ending December 31, 20212022, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount (the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) equal to (A) the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, minus, at the option of the Borrower, (B) the aggregate principal amount of any voluntary prepayment of Term Borrowings and, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments, Revolving Borrowings made by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the date of prepayment, excluding any such prepayments to the extent financed with the proceeds of Long-Term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and excluding any such prepayment made during such fiscal year to the extent that it reduced the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(ii) in the prior fiscal year; provided that no prepayment under this Section 2.10(b)(ii) shall be required unless the ECF Prepayment Amount would exceed $500,0001,000,000.
(iii)  In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term, in each case, in excess of $2,500,0005,000,000 in any fiscal year, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds in excess of 

such threshold; provided that, in each case, if the Borrower shall deliver, prior to the date of the required prepayment, to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the effect that the Borrower intends to cause such Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be applied within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event to reinvest in assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries (other than cash or Cash Equivalents, but including any reinvestment in the form of a Permitted Acquisition (or any other Acquisition of or Investment in any Person that becomes a Subsidiary as a result of such Investment permitted hereunder)), and certifying that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds from such Prepayment Event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such 365day period (or within a period of 180 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 365day period the Borrower or one or more Subsidiaries shall have entered into an agreement with a third party to acquire such assets, or to consummate such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition or Investment, with such Net Proceeds), at which time a prepayment shall be required promptly (and in any event no later than the 10th Business Day after the expiration of the applicable period) in an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.
(iv)  In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of such term, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds.
(c)  Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the Borrower shall, subject to the next sentence, specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.  In the event of any prepayment of Term Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.10(b) made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class are outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term Borrowings pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class; provided that the amounts so allocable to Term Loans of any Class other than the Tranche A Term Loans may be applied to other Term Borrowings as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, Extension Agreement or Refinancing Facility Agreement.
(d)  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, which may be by telephone (confirmed promptly by delivery of a written notice), of any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (or, in each case, such later time as to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree).  Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except as set forth in the proviso to this sentence) and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any 

Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.
SECTION II.11.  Fees.
(a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the First Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates.  Commitment fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the 15th Business Day following such last day and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the First Amendment Effective Date.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b)  The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the First Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate as separately agreed by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the First Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the 15th Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the First Amendment Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d)  All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to any Issuing Bank) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation 

fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION II.12.  Interest.
(a)  The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)  The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any LC Disbursement or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or LC Disbursement as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or in Section 2.04(h) or (ii) in the case of any overdue fee or interest, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d)  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of a Revolving Loan, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e)  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and, in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION II.13.  Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)  Subject to paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.13(b), if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing of any Class:
(i)  the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii)  the Administrative Agent is advised by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class as promptly as practicable and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing, and (B) any Borrowing Request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of such Class shall be treated as a request for an ABR Borrowing.
(b)  (b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(ii)  (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this paragraph Section 2.13(b)(cii) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice.
(iii)  (d)  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iv)  (e)  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (iA) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (iiB) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iiiC) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (ivD) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph Section 2.13(fv) below and (vE) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13.
(v)  (f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (iA) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (iiB) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (iA) above either (A1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(vi)  (g)  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
SECTION II.14.  Increased Costs.
(a)  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)  impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account 

of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;
(ii)  impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii)  subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)  If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)  Any Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient requesting compensation under this Section 2.14 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a 

Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION II.15.  Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, (d) the failure to prepay any Eurodollar Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the actual out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense incurred by such Lender that is attributable to such event, it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall exclude any interest rate floor, any loss of anticipated profit and all administrative, processing or similar fees.  Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that sets forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
SECTION II.16.  Taxes.
(a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall 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, 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 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received, with respect to this Agreement, had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)  Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay (without duplication of any amounts paid under Section 2.16(a)) 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)  Evidence of Payment.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority 

evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)  Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  After a Recipient learns of the imposition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, such Recipient shall deliver a certificate to the Loan Parties setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and amount of the relevant payment or liability, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)  Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register in either 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.
(f)  Status of Lenders.
(i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by 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 Sections 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 

(A)  any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax; 
(B)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii)  executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(iv)  to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed 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.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (in cash or applied as an offset against another cash Tax liability of such party) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 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 (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, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph 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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make 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)  Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i)  Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 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.
SECTION II.17.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a)  The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b)  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of the amounts then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto, in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties (or as required in Section 5.2 of the Collateral Agreement if such Section then applies).
(c)  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time), including Sections 2.18(b), 2.19 and 2.20, or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future payment obligations of such Lender hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
(f)  In the event that any financial statements delivered under Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), or any Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c), shall prove to have been materially inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of such misstatement.
SECTION II.18.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)  If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending or issuing office for funding, booking or issuing its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank in any material respect.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(b)  If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.02 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate all the Commitments of such Lender and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender (or terminate the Commitment of such Lender of a particular Class and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender of such Class), in each case, without any obligation to terminate any Commitment or prepay any Loan of any other Lender, provided that (1) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to accrued interest on such Loans, accrued fees in respect of such Commitments, participations in LC Disbursements (if applicable) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) and (2) if, after giving effect to such termination and repayment, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, then the Borrower shall prepay one or more Revolving Borrowings (and, if no Revolving Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral as required pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i)) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess, or (B) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions and consent requirements contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (1) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (2) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment and delegation will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (3) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law and (4) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.  Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Eligible Assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION II.19.  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)  commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
(b)  the Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of any Class or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;
(c)  any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(i); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.04(i); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default 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; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages and funded and unfunded participations are held in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, in each case, without giving effect to Section 2.19(d); it being agreed that any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant 

to this Section 2.19(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
(d)  if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender (if a Revolving Lender) becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)  the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.04(d) and 2.04(f)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Exposures after giving effect to such reallocation would not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (B) after giving effect to any such reallocation, no Non-Defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure would exceed its Revolving Commitment;
(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, cash collateralize for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)  if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)  if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and
(v)  if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that is subject to reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(e)  so long as such Lender (if a Revolving Lender) is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and, in the case of any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender and, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (a) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender (and such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fees or participation fees that were not paid to it during the period it was a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the foregoing provisions), (b) all waivers, amendments and modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.19 and Section 9.02 during the period it was a Defaulting Lender shall be binding on it and (c) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION II.20.  Incremental Facilities.
(a)  The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment, during the Revolving Availability Period, of Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or (ii) the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments, provided that (A) the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Commitments established hereunder shall not exceed $50,000,000 during the term of this Agreement75,000,000 after the First Amendment Effective Date and (B) any Incremental Commitments established hereunder shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be the remaining portion of the maximum Incremental Commitments permitted to be established pursuant to clause (A) or to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree).  Each such notice shall specify (x) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective and (y) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments or the Incremental Term Commitments, as applicable, requested to be established (it being agreed that (1) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment and (2) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Incremental Revolving Lender, each Issuing Bank (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) solely if such approval would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans of the applicable Class to such Incremental Lender).
(b)  The terms and conditions of any Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall be identical to those of the Revolving Commitments and Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments and Loans; provided that, if the Borrower determines to increase the interest rate or fees payable in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, such increase shall be permitted if the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the other Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased to equal such interest rate or fees payable in respect of such 

Incremental Revolving Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as the case may be; provided further that the Borrower, at its election, may pay upfront or closing fees with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments without paying such fees with respect to the other Revolving Commitments.  The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, identical to those of the Tranche A Term Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans; provided that (i) the final scheduled maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date with respect to any Class of Term Loans in effect on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the longest remaining weighted average life to maturity of any Class of Term Loans outstanding on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (determined without giving effect to any prepayment thereof that would otherwise modify such weighted average life to maturity), it being understood that, subject to this clause (ii), the amortization schedule applicable to (and the effect thereon of any prepayments of) any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders, (iii) Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayments hereunder on a pro rata basis (or on a basis that is less than pro rata) with the other Term Loans, but may not provide for mandatory prepayment requirements that are more favorable than those applicable to the other Term Loans, (iv) any Incremental Term Loans thereunder shall rank pari passu in right of payment, and shall be secured by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis, with the other Loans, and shall be extensions of credit to the Borrower that are Guaranteed only by the Loan Parties, and (v) except for the terms referred to above and subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and except with respect to “effective yield” and components thereof, fees, prepayment terms (including any restrictions thereon), premiums, escrow provisions and except as otherwise permitted herein, (A) the terms of any Incremental Term Loans shall not be materially more restrictive (when taken as a whole and as determined by the Borrower) on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries than those applicable to the Tranche A Term Loans (except to the extent such terms are applicable only to periods after the Tranche A Term Maturity Date) or (B) any terms of such Incremental Term Loans that are more favorable to the Incremental Lenders thereof than those contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are then conformed (or added) to this Agreement or the applicable other Loan Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders.  In the event any Incremental Term Loans have (or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loans the proceeds of which are subject to escrow, upon the release of such proceeds will have) the same terms as any existing Class of Term Loans then outstanding or any Term Loans then substantially concurrently established under Section 2.21 or 2.22 (in each case, disregarding any differences in original issue discount or upfront fees or scheduled amortization if not affecting, or is required to preserve, the fungibility thereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes), such Incremental Term Loans may, at the election of the Borrower, be treated as a single Class with such outstanding Term Loans or such other Term Loans, and the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to any such Class of Term Loans may be increased to reflect scheduled amortization of such Incremental Term Loans.
(c)  The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Incremental Commitments shall become effective unless (i) subject to Sections 1.08 and 2.20(h), on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been funded as Loans on such date), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) subject to Section 2.20(h), on the date of effectiveness thereof and after giving effect to the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit thereunder to be made on such date and the use of 

proceeds thereof, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such prior date, (iii) subject to Section 1.08, after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been funded as Loans on such date, but without netting the cash proceeds thereof in the calculation of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio), and any related transaction, on a Pro Forma Basis, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.12 and 6.13 (in each case, calculated as of the last day of or for the Test Period then most recently ended), (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other closing documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered under Section 4.01 on the Effective Date) by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction and (v) to the extent required to be paid pursuant to agreements entered into by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders or arrangers in respect of any Incremental Commitments, the Borrower shall have paid any applicable upfront, arrangement or similar closing fees due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments.  Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to establish new Classes of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting (it being agreed that such new Class of Loans and Commitments may be included in the definitions of “Majority in Interest” and “Required Lenders” and may be afforded class voting rights requiring the consent of Lenders under such Class in addition to any other consent of Lenders that might otherwise be required under Section 9.02)) or to reflect an increase in any existing Class of Loans and/or Commitments and any technical amendments relating thereto (including to enable such new Class of Loans or Commitments to be extended or modified under Section 2.21 or refinanced under Section 2.22).  The Administrative Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form or substance of any Incremental Facility Agreement, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(d)  Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, (A) such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall constitute (or, in the event such Incremental Lender already has a Revolving Commitment, shall increase) the Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Lender and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be increased by the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitment, in each case, subject to further increase or reduction from time to time as set forth in the definition of the term “Revolving Commitment”.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitment, the Revolving Exposures and the Applicable Percentages of all the Revolving Lenders shall automatically be adjusted to give effect thereto.

(e)  On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Incremental Revolving Lender that shall have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments), multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments), multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each Incremental Revolving Lender that shall not have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments), multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments), multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments), multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (and the Borrower shall deliver such Borrowing Request), (vi) each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments) and (vii) the Borrower shall pay each Revolving Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings.  The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.
(f)  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement, each Lender holding an Incremental Term Commitment of any Class shall make a Loan of such Class to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Incremental Term Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Agreement.
(g)  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower referred to in Section 2.20(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof and, in the case of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, of the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders after giving effect thereto and of the assignments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20(e).
(h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if any Incremental Term Commitments are to be established in 

connection with a Limited Conditionality Transaction (including in connection with any repayment or incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith) and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments so agree, the conditions to effectiveness of such Incremental Term Commitments set forth in Sections 2.20(c)(i) and 2.20(c)(ii) may be modified as agreed by the Borrower and such Incremental Lenders to limit such conditions to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.
SECTION II.21.  Extension/Modification Offers.
(a)  The Borrower may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension/Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such an Extension/Modification Offer being referred to as an “Extension/Modification Request Class”), on the same terms and conditions, and on a pro rata basis, to each Lender within any Extension/Modification Request Class, to make one or more Extension/Modification Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.  Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective.  Extension/Modification Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Extension/Modification Request Class that accept the applicable Extension/Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending/Modifying Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending/Modifying Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Extension/Modification Request Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  Any Extended/Modified Loans or Extended/Modified Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Loans or Commitments from the Extension/Modification Request Class from which they were converted and, in the event any Extended/Modified Term Loans have the same terms as any existing Class of Term Loans then outstanding or any Term Loans then substantially concurrently established under this Section 2.21 or Section 2.20 or 2.22 (in each case, disregarding any differences in original issue discount or upfront fees or scheduled amortization if not affecting, or is required to preserve, the fungibility thereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes), such Extended/Modified Term Loans may, at the election of the Borrower, be treated as a single Class with such outstanding Term Loans or such other Term Loans, and the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to any such Class of Term Loans may be increased to reflect scheduled amortization of such Extended/Modified Term Loans.  The Extension/Modification Offer shall not be required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may, at its option and subject to its right to waive any such condition in its sole discretion, specify as a condition to the effectiveness of any Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment that a minimum amount, as specified in the Extension/Modification Offer, of Loans and Commitments of the Extension/Modification Request Class be extended.  The Borrower may amend, revoke or replace any Extension/Modification Offer at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Extension/Modification Agreement.
(b)  An Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension/Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Extending/Modifying Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Extension/Modification Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other closing documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered under Section 4.01 on the Effective Date) by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the 

effectiveness of each Extension/Modification Agreement.  Each Extension/Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending/Modifying Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.21, including (i) a reduction to the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to the Term Loans of the Extension/Modification Request Class to reflect the treatment of the Extended/Modified Loans as a new Class of Term Loans and (ii) any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Extending/Modifying Lenders as a new Class of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting (it being agreed that such new Class of Loans may be included in the definitions of “Majority in Interest” and “Required Lenders” and may be afforded class voting rights requiring the consent of Lenders under such Class in addition to any other consent of Lenders that might otherwise be required under Section 9.02)) and to reflect an increase in any existing Class of Loans and/or Commitments and any technical amendments relating thereto (including to enable such new Class of Loans to be extended under this Section 2.21 or refinanced under Section 2.22); provided that, in the case of any Extension/Modification Offer relating to Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, except as otherwise agreed to by each Issuing Bank, (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued Letter of Credit as between the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments (and the applicable Extension/Modification Agreement shall contain reallocation and cash collateralization provisions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, with respect to Letters of Credit outstanding on the Revolving Maturity Date) and (B) the Revolving Availability Period and the Revolving Maturity Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit of any Issuing Bank, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form and substance of any Extension/Modification Agreement, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
SECTION II.22.  Refinancing Facilities.
(a)  The Borrower may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment hereunder of (i) one or more additional Classes of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”) will make revolving loans to the Borrower (“Refinancing Revolving Loans”) and, if applicable under such Class, acquire participations in the Letters of Credit and all the then existing Revolving Commitments will be refinanced in full or (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the “Refinancing Term Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the Borrower (the “Refinancing Term Loans”).  Each such notice shall specify (A) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Revolving Commitments or the Refinancing Term Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective and (B) the amount of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments or the Refinancing Term Commitments, as applicable, requested to be established (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Refinancing Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Commitment and (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to be a Refinancing Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Refinancing Revolving Lender if such Lender is to acquire participations in the Letters of Credit, each Issuing Bank (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) solely if such approval 

would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments of the applicable Class to such Refinancing Lender).
(b)  The terms and conditions of any Refinancing Commitments and the Refinancing Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall be as determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Lenders and set forth in the applicable Refinancing Facility Agreement; provided that an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit under any Refinancing Revolving Commitments unless such Issuing Bank shall have consented to act in such capacity under the Refinancing Revolving Commitments; provided further that (i) the stated termination date applicable to the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of any Class and the final scheduled maturity of the Refinancing Loans of any Class shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date applicable to the Class of Commitments or Loans being refinanced, (ii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, the weighted average life to maturity of any Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Class of Term Loans being refinanced, it being understood that, subject to this clause (ii), the amortization schedule applicable to (and the effect thereon of any prepayments of) any Refinancing Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Lenders, (iii) any Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayments hereunder on a pro rata basis (or on a basis that is less than pro rata) with the other Term Loans, but may not provide for mandatory prepayment requirements that are more favorable than those applicable to the other Term Loans, (iv) any Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder shall rank pari passu in right of payment, and shall be secured by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis, with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, and shall be extensions of credit to the Borrower that are Guaranteed only by the Loan Parties, and (v) except for the terms referred to above and subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and except with respect to “effective yield” and components thereof, fees, prepayment terms (including any restrictions thereon), premiums, escrow provisions and except as otherwise permitted herein, to the extent the terms of the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans are not consistent with those of the Class of Commitments or Loans being refinanced, such differences shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (except for terms benefitting the Refinancing Lenders (A) where this Agreement is amended to include such beneficial terms for the benefit of all Lenders or (B) applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date in effect as of the date of establishment or incurrence of such Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans); provided further that the foregoing requirements shall not apply if, at the time of the establishment or incurrence of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments or Refinancing Term Loans, as the case may be, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, such Refinancing Revolving Commitments or Refinancing Term Loans shall be the sole Class of Commitments or Term Loans, as the case may be, outstanding under this Agreement.  In the event any Refinancing Term Loans have the same terms as any existing Class of Term Loans then outstanding or any Term Loans then substantially concurrently established pursuant to Section 2.20 or 2.21 or this Section 2.22 (in each case, disregarding any differences in original issue discount or upfront fees or scheduled amortization if not affecting, or is required to preserve, the fungibility thereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes), such Refinancing Term Loans may, at the election of the Borrower, be treated as a single Class with such outstanding Term Loans or such other Term Loans, and the scheduled amortization installments set forth in Section 2.09 with respect to any such Class of Term Loans may be increased to reflect scheduled amortization of such Refinancing Term Loans.
(c)  The Refinancing Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Refinancing Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Refinancing Lender providing such Refinancing Commitments, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments, as applicable, each Issuing Bank; provided that no Refinancing Commitments 

shall become effective unless (i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other closing documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered under Section 4.01 on the Effective Date) by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, (ii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Commitments then in effect shall be terminated and the Borrower shall make any prepayment or deposit required to be made under Section 2.10(b)(i) as a result thereof and shall pay all interest on the amounts prepaid and all fees accrued on the Revolving Commitments (it being understood, however, that any Letters of Credit may continue to be outstanding under the Refinancing Revolving Commitments, in each case on terms agreed by each applicable Issuing Bank and specified in the applicable Refinancing Facility Agreement) and (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Commitments, (A) substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Borrower shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings of any Class in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Borrowings, any original issue discount or upfront fees applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) and (B) any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent amortization installments to be made pursuant to Section 2.09 with respect to Term Borrowings of such Class on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the principal amounts of such installments) and, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Term Borrowings, shall be subject to Section 2.15.  Each Refinancing Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Refinancing Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new Class of Commitments and/or Loans hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting (it being agreed that such new Class of Commitments and Loans may be included in the definitions of “Majority in Interest” and “Required Lenders” and may be afforded class voting rights requiring the consent of Lenders under such Class in addition to any other consent of Lenders that might otherwise be required under Section 9.02)) or to reflect an increase in any existing Class of Commitments and/or Loans and any technical amendments relating thereto (including to enable such new Class of Commitments and/or Loans to be extended under Section 2.21 or refinanced under this Section 2.22).  The Administrative Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form or substance of any Refinancing Facility Agreement, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(d)  Upon the effectiveness of a Refinancing Commitment of any Refinancing Lender, such Refinancing Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
(e)  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower referred to in Section 2.22(a) and of the effectiveness of any Refinancing Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof.

(notwithstanding the absence of a related addback in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”) solely for the purpose of determining compliance with Sections 6.12 and 6.13 as of the end of such fiscal quarter and for applicable subsequent Test Periods that include such fiscal quarter.  If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any immediate repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith), the requirements of Sections 6.12 and 6.13 would be satisfied, then the requirements of Sections 6.12 and 6.13 shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Test Period with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.12 or 6.13 that had occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, and the Cure Right may not be exercised in respect of any two consecutive fiscal quarters, (b) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than four times, (c) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for the purpose of complying with Sections 6.12 and/or 6.13, (d) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a written notice from the Borrower that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”) until the 15th Business Day following the date on which financial statements for the fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ending with such fiscal quarter) to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable, neither the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender shall exercise any right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments, and none of the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor), any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of any Collateral or any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents solely on the basis of an Event of Default under Section 6.12 or 6.13, (e) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction of the amount of Indebtedness by the amount of any Cure Amount for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.12 or 6.13 as of the last day of the Test Period in respect of which the Cure Right was exercised (it being understood that this clause (e) shall not apply with respect to any subsequent Test Period, even if such subsequent Test Period includes the applicable fiscal quarter), (f) during any Test Period in which any Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as a result of any exercise of the Cure Right, such Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining (i) whether any financial ratio-based condition to the availability of any carveout set forth in Article VI has been satisfied, (ii) the Applicable Rate or (iii) the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage and (g) no Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Revolving Loan or issue or amend to increase the amount of any Letter of Credit from and after such time as the Administrative Agent has received the Notice of Intent to Cure unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received (or the Event of Default for failure to comply therewith is waived in accordance with Section 9.02).
ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent
SECTION VIII.01.  Authorization and Action.
(a)  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent underby the terms hereof or thereof, together with such agreementsactions and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each 

Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.
(b)  As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action (except discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents, including in connection with any transaction contemplated by Section 2.20, 2.21 or 2.22), but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner reasonably satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided further that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided.  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 Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(c)  In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i)  the Administrative Agent does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party, other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a 

matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees (and each other Secured Party will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed) that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and
(ii)  nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account. 
(d)  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.
(e)  In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)  to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
and any custodian, receiver, interim-receiver, receiver and manager, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, judicial manager, interim judicial manager or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any 

Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
SECTION VIII.02.  Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Limitation of Liability, Etc.

(b)  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of (i) any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.02 unless and until written notice thereof, stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.02” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under such Section, is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or (ii) any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof, stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”, is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Lender or any Issuing Bank.  Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (iA) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (iiB) the contents of any certificate, report, statement or other document delivered under any Loan Document or in connection therewith, (iiiC) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (ivD) the sufficiency, value, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by fax, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), (vE) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (viF) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral.

writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or maker thereof), and may act upon any such oral or telephonic statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof.
SECTION VIII.03.  Posting of Communications.  
(a)  Holdings and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b)  Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, Holdings and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c)  THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS, THE SYNDICATION AGENT, THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(d)  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall 

constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender or Issuing Bank for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(e)  Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, Holdings and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
(f)  Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
SECTION VIII.04.  The Administrative Agent Individually.  With respect to its Commitments, Loans, LC Commitment and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder, and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities, as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks” and “Lenders”, including as such terms are used in the terms “Required Lenders” or “Majority in Interest”, shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as applicable.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.
SECTION VIII.05.  Successor Administrative Agent.  
(a)  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) has occurred and is continuing).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor 

Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor. 
(b)  Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank.  
(c)  Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) of paragraph (b) of this Section.

(c)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (A) if the Administrative Agent notifies in writing (which may be by e-mail) such Lender or such Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or such Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank under this Section 8.06(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(ii)  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (A) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (B) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the 

amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(iii)  The Borrower hereby agrees that (A) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or any Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or such Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (B) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations of the Borrower, except, in each case to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower.
(iv)  Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.06(c) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION VIII.07.  Collateral Matters.  
(a)  Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.
(b)  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no agreement relating to Secured Hedging Agreement Obligations or Banking Services Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document.  By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any agreement relating to Secured Hedging Agreement Obligations or Banking Services Obligations shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. 
(c)  The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to, and the Administrative Agent shall: 
(i)  release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (1A) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (2B) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed in a Disposition permitted under this Agreement to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (3C) that constitutes (or becomes) an Excluded Asset, (4D) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Loan Party, upon the release of such Subsidiary 

Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement in accordance with the Loan Documents or (5E) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02; 
(ii)  release any Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 9.14; and 
(iii)  subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(b), 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(f), 6.02(g), 6.02(h), 6.02(j), 6.02(k) and 6.02(l).  
Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8.  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to clause (c)(i), (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) above, the Administrative Agent will (and each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Security Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral and Guarantee Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; provided that, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d)  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
SECTION VIII.08.  Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the 

acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase).  In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive Equity Interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(c)  The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

SECTION IX.02.   Waivers; Amendments.
(a)  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party thereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)  Except as provided in Section 9.03(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that such agreement shall:
(i)  increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment of such Lender);
(ii)  reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder (in each case, other than as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio” or any waiver of default interest), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;
(iii)  postpone the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.09, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (in each case, other than as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term “Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio” or any waiver of default interest), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute any such postponement, reduction, waiver or excuse);
(iv)  change Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) of this Agreement or Section 5.2 of the Collateral Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing or order of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Section 2.20, 2.21 or 2.22 or as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02);
(v)  change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Majority in Interest,” “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any provision requiring the consent of “each Lender”), without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be); provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section and the definition of the terms “Majority in Interest” or “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans or commitments created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Classes of Loans or Lenders;

(vi)  release Holdings, the Borrower or all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Loan Parties (including, in each case, by limiting liability in respect thereof) created under the Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each Lender (except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article VIII or Section 9.14, and except for any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of Section 6.05 or of the types of obligations, or the addition of obligations, guaranteed under the Collateral Agreement shall not be deemed to be a release or limitation of any Guarantee;
(vii)  release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, or subordinate any such Liens, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article VIII or Section 9.14, and except for any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Disposition of any Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of Section 6.05 or of the types of obligations, or the addition of obligations, secured by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents; or
(viii)  change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms directly and adversely affects the rights to payment of Lenders of any Class differently than the rights of Lenders of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each affected Class;
provided further that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (2) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or such Loan Document of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower (and, in the case of any other Loan Document, the other Loan Parties party thereto) and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at that time.
(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02(b):
(i)  any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency, or any necessary or desirable technical change, so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment;

(d)  The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on behalf of such Lender.  Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Liabilities and related expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees, expenses, charges and disbursements, to the actual reasonable and documented in reasonable detail out-of-pocket fees, expenses, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, which may include a single firm of local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest among Indemnitees where any Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, (i) one additional firm of outside counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and (ii) if necessary, one additional firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, which may include a single firm of local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (A) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Engagement Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Engagement Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (B) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (C) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, to or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (D) any actual or prospective Proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to the Engagement Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Liabilities and related expenses (1) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under any of the Loan Documents or (2) arise out of a Proceeding among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than claims against any Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, any other agent hereunder or an Arranger).  If an Indemnitee has received payment from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Liabilities or related expenses pursuant to this Section 9.03(c) or any similar indemnification provision of any other Loan Document and, subsequently, (x) such Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under any of the Loan Documents or (y) such Indemnitee is otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment not to have been entitled to such payment pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.03(c) or such similar indemnification provision, then such Indemnitee shall (and each Credit 

Party shall cause its Related Parties to) refund all amounts received by it in excess of those to which it shall have been entitled under the terms of this Section 9.03(c).  All amounts due under this Section 9.03(c) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Borrower of a written demand therefor, in the case of any indemnification obligations, and (y) after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request.  This Section 9.03(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(d)  Settlement.  The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if any Proceeding is settled with the prior written consent of the Borrower, or if there is a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction against any Indemnitee in any such Proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 9.03(c).  The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought pursuant to Section 9.03(c) by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to, or any admission of, fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.
(e)  Lender Reimbursement.  To the extent the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrower under Section 9.03(a) or 9.03(c) to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that such payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that such payment was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity; provided further that, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any Issuing Bank acting for such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts.  For purposes of this Section, at any time, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, unused Revolving Commitments and, except for purposes of the immediately preceding proviso, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case, at such time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).  All amounts due under this Section 9.03(e) shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
SECTION IX.04.  Successors and Assigns.

(b)    Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A)  the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after receiving written notice thereof;
(B)  the Administrative Agent; and
(C)  each Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure.

(A)  except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than, in the case of the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, $500,000 or, in the case of the Term Commitments or Term Loans, $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(i) or 7.01(j) has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after receiving written notice thereof;
(B)  each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)  the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Approved Electronic Platform), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender; and
(D)  the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, any tax forms required by Section 2.16(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain Private Side Information) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws.
(iii)  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be (A) entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment and (B) subject to its obligations thereunder and under Section 9.12).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 9.04(c).
(iv)  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Approved Electronic Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.16(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and 

recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto.  Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee.
(c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each 

Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.  
(ii)  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain records of the name and address of each Participant, and the principal amounts of (and stated interest in) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION IX.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of determining whether Holdings and the Borrower are required to comply with Articles V and VI hereof, but excluding Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 9.03 and any expense reimbursement or indemnity provisions set forth in any other Loan Document), and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no 

obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.04(d) or 2.04(f).  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17(e), 9.03 and 9.12 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, the occurrence of the Termination Date or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof but, in each case, and for the avoidance of doubt, on the terms set forth in such provisions; provided that the provisions of Section 9.12 shall terminate 18 months after the Termination Date. 
SECTION IX.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a)  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letters and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Engagement Letter or any Fee Letter (or any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank) that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect).  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of all the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(b)  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (i) this Agreement, (ii) any other Loan Document and/or (iii) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each, an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by fax or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable.  The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery”, and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further, without limiting the foregoing, (A) to the extent the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders and each Loan Party shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Lender or any Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (B) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower, any Electronic Signature  shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (w) 

agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (x) agrees that the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Loan Party may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (y) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto, and (z) waives any claim against any other party hereto for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Loan Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
SECTION IX.07.  Severability.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION IX.08.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff; provided further that no amounts 

received from, or set off with respect to, any Subsidiary Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Subsidiary Loan Party.  The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION IX.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than as expressly set forth in any other Loan Document), and any Proceeding (whether in tort, in contract, at law or in equity or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than as expressly set forth in any other Loan Document) shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
(b)  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York (or any appellate court therefrom) over any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such United States Federal court or, if such court shall not have subject matter jurisdiction, such New York State court.  Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent may otherwise have to bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction solely in connection with the exercise of its rights under any Security Document.
(c)  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in any such court.
(d)  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Each party hereto waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any Proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Loan Document that service of process was invalid and ineffective.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
SECTION IX.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) 

CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION IX.11.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION IX.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be subject to a professional or other obligation of confidentiality or will be informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and instructed to keep the Confidential Information confidential, provided that such Person shall be responsible for its Affiliates’ and its and their Related Parties’ compliance with this paragraph, (b) upon the demand or request of any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority) purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Affiliates (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising examination or regulatory authority over such Person or its Affiliates, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (c) to the extent compelled by legal process in, or reasonably necessary to, the defense of such legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or otherwise as required by applicable law (in which case such Person shall (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising examination or regulatory authority over such Person or its Affiliates), (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement by the relevant recipient containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the standard syndication process of the Arrangers or market standards for dissemination of the relevant type of information, which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access the Confidential Information and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or prospective Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction to which any Loan Party is, or is contemplated to be, a party, (g) subject to the Borrower’s prior approval of the information to be disclosed, on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (i) to the extent the Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Person, its Affiliates or their respective Related Parties or (ii) 

becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower that is not, to such Person’s knowledge, subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to any Investor, any Parent Company, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates or (j) in the case of the existence of this Agreement and information pertaining hereto routinely provided by arrangers to such providers, to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

SECTION IX.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or Letter of Credit, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or Letter of Credit under applicable law (collectively the “Charged Amounts”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or Issuing Bank holding such Loan or Letter of Credit in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder, together with all Charged Amounts payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charged Amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charged Amounts payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect of other Loans or Letters of Credit or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.
SECTION IX.14.  Release of Liens and Guarantees.
(a)  Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, (i) each Loan Party shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and its Guarantee under, and all security interests created under, the Loan Documents shall be automatically released) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and (ii) any Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and its Guarantee under, and all security interests in respect of Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Loan Party under, the Loan Documents shall be automatically released) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this paragraph and any release or termination provisions set forth in the Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control.
(b)  Upon any Disposition by any Loan Party (other than to any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, upon any asset ceasing to be, or ceasing to be required to be, Collateral as a result of becoming an Excluded Asset, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security 

Documents shall be automatically released.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this paragraph and any release or termination provisions set forth in the Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control.
(c)  The Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby further irrevocably authorize the release of Liens on the Collateral as provided in the Security Documents or any other Loan Document.
(d)  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

SECTION IX.15.  USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
SECTION IX.16.  No Fiduciary Relationship.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, agrees that, in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Person in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.  Holdings and the Borrower acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.
SECTION IX.17.  Non-Public Information.
(a)  Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-

level information, which may contain Private Side Information.  Each Lender represents to Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of Private Side Information and that it will handle Private Side Information in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain Private Side Information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.
(b)  Holdings, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges that, if information furnished by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Approved Electronic Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that Holdings, the Borrower or such other Loan Party has indicated as containing Private Side Information solely on that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains Private Side Information, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees to clearly designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by Holdings and the Borrower without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.
SECTION IX.18.  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)  the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)  the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION IX.19.  Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
(a)  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as set forth in Section 9.19(b) with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
(b)  In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the parties hereto with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
