In the case of a transfer of Notes to a person who is already a holder of Notes, a new Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued against surrender of the Certificate representing the existing holding. All transfers of Notes and entries on the Register will be made in accordance with the detailed regulations concerning transfers of Notes scheduled to the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

(b) Exercise of Options or Partial Redemption in Respect of Notes: In the case of an exercise of a Noteholders' option in respect of, or a partial redemption of, a holding of Notes represented by a single Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the holder to reflect the exercise of such option or in respect of the balance of the holding not redeemed. In the case of a partial exercise of an option resulting in Notes of the same holding having different terms, separate Certificates shall be issued in respect of those Notes of that holding that have the same terms. New Certificates shall only be issued against surrender of the existing Certificates to the Registrar or any Transfer Agent.
(c) Delivery of New Certificates: Each new Certificate to be issued pursuant to Condition 2(a) or 2(b) shall be available for delivery within three business days of receipt of a duly completed form of transfer or Exercise Notice (as defined in Condition 7(c)) and surrender of the existing Certificate(s). Delivery of the new Certificate(s) shall be made at the specified office of any Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom delivery or surrender of such form of transfer, Exercise Notice or Certificate shall have been made or, at the option of the holder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant form of transfer or Exercise Notice or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured post at the risk of the holder entitled to the new Certificate to such address as may be so specified, unless such holder requests otherwise and pays in advance to any Transfer Agent or the Registrar (as the case may be) the costs of such other method of delivery and/ or such insurance as it may specify. In this Condition 2(c), "business day" means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in the place of the specified office of the relevant Transfer Agent or the Registrar (as the case may be).
(d) Transfer or Exercise Free of Charge: Certificates, on transfer, exercise of an option or partial redemption, shall be issued and registered without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent, but upon payment of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it (or the giving of such indemnity as the Registrar or any Transfer Agent may require).
(e) Closed Periods: No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Note to be registered (i) during the period of 15 days ending on (and including) the due date for redemption of that Note, (ii) after any 

36

 

such Note has been called for redemption, or (iii) during the period of seven days ending on (and including) any Record Date (as defined in Condition 8(a)(ii)).
3 Status of the Notes
The Notes constitute direct, unconditional and (subject to Condition 5) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank and will rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves. The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Notes shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to Condition 5, at all times rank at least equally with all its other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
4 Guarantee and Status of the Guarantee
(a) Guarantee: The Guarantor has unconditionally, irrevocably guaranteed the due payment of all sums expressed to be payable by the Issuer under the Notes. The Guarantor's obligations in that respect (the "Guarantee") are set out in the Deed of Guarantee.
(b) Status: The Guarantee constitutes direct, unsecured and unconditional obligations of the Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by applicable legislation and subject to Condition 5, at all times rank at least equally with all its other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
(c) Limitations: Anything to the contrary in these Conditions notwithstanding, the Guarantee by the Guarantor shall be, and hereby is, limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under any applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
5 Covenants

5.1 Negative Pledge
(a) The Issuer and the Guarantor will not, nor will they permit any of their Subsidiaries to issue or assume any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any Property (now owned or hereinafter acquired) of the Issuer or the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Indebtedness that all of the Notes outstanding (together with, if the Issuer or the Guarantor shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes) shall be secured equally and rateably with such Indebtedness.
(b) The restrictions set forth in paragraph (a) above will not, however, apply if the aggregate amount of such Indebtedness so secured by Liens, together with all other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Guarantor or such Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to such restrictions, but not including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under paragraphs (c)(i) to (c)(xiv) below, does not at the time exceed 15 per cent. of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
(c) The restrictions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by:
(i) Liens existing on the issue date of the Notes;

37

(iv) Liens securing any Indebtedness of the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or the Guarantor owing to the Issuer, the Guarantor or to another Subsidiary of the Issuer or the Guarantor;

(ix) Liens arising with respect to zoning restrictions, easements, licences, reservations, covenants, rights--of--way, utility easements, building restrictions and other similar charges or encumbrances on the use of real property which do not interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
(x) Liens of attachment or judgment with respect to judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
(xi) Liens arising from leases, subleases or licences granted to others which do not interfere in any material respect with the business of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
(xii) any interest or title of the lessor in the Property subject to any operating lease (as determined in accordance with US GAAP as in effect as of issue date of the Notes) entered into by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;
(xiii) Liens, if any, in connection with any sale/leaseback transaction; and
(xiv) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (xiii); provided, however, that such new Lien is limited to the Property which was subject to the prior Lien immediately before such extension, renewal or replacement, and provided, further, that the principal amount of Indebtedness secured by the prior Lien immediately before such extension, renewal or replacement is not increased.

6 Interest
The Notes bear interest on their outstanding principal amount from and including 19 November 2019 (the "Interest Commencement Date") at the rate of 0.900 per cent. per annum, payable annually in arrear on 19 November in each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Each Note will cease to bear interest from the due date for redemption unless, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such Note, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. In such event it shall continue to bear interest at such rate (both before and after judgment) until whichever is the earlier of (a) the day on which all sums due in respect of such Note up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant holder, and (b) the day seven days after the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent has notified Noteholders of receipt of all sums due in respect of all the Notes up to that seventh day (except to the extent that there is failure in the subsequent payment to the relevant holders under these Conditions).
The period beginning on and including the Interest Commencement Date and ending on but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and each successive period beginning on and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date is called an "Interest Period".
The amount of interest payable per €1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Calculation Amount") for any period shall be equal to the product of the rate of interest specified above, the Calculation Amount and the day--count fraction for the relevant period, rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards).
When interest is required to be calculated in respect of a period of less than a full year, it shall be calculated by applying the rate of 0.900 per cent. per annum to each Calculation Amount and on the basis of (a) the actual number of days in the period from and including the date from which interest begins to accrue (the "Accrual Date") to but excluding the date on which it falls due divided by (b) the actual number of days from and including the Accrual Date to but excluding the next following Interest Payment Date. The resultant figure shall be rounded to the nearest cent, half a cent being rounded upwards. The interest payable in respect of a Note shall be the product of such rounded figure and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the denomination of the relevant Note, without any further rounding.
7 Redemption and Purchase
(a) Final Redemption: Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Notes will be redeemed at their principal amount on 19 November 2024 (the "Maturity Date"). The Notes may not be redeemed at the option of the Issuer or the Guarantor other than in accordance with this Condition 7.

41

 

available to it, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer (or the Guarantor, as the case may be) would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes (or the Guarantee, as the case may be) then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 7(b), the Issuer shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a certificate signed by two directors of the Issuer (or the Guarantor, as the case may be) stating that the Issuer (or the Guarantor, as the case may be) is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred, and an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer (or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be) has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

49

 

is reasonable in light of prevailing market practice). Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.
13 Meetings of Noteholders and Modification
(a) Meetings of Noteholders: The Fiscal Agency Agreement contains provisions for convening meetings of Noteholders to consider matters affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of a modification of any of these Conditions. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer, the Guarantor or Noteholders holding not less than 10 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. The quorum for any meeting convened to consider an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or representing a clear majority in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting two or more persons being or representing Noteholders whatever the principal amount of the Notes held or represented, unless the business of such meeting includes consideration of proposals, inter alia, (i) to modify the maturity of the Notes or the dates on which interest is payable in respect of the Notes, (ii) to reduce or cancel the principal amount of, or interest on, or to vary the method of calculating the rate of interest on, the Notes, (iii) to change the currency of payment of the Notes, (iv) to modify the provisions concerning the quorum required at any meeting of Noteholders or the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution, or (v) to modify or cancel the Guarantee or the Support Agreement, in which case the necessary quorum will be two or more persons holding or representing not less than 75 per cent., or at any adjourned meeting not less than 25 per cent., in principal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. Any Extraordinary Resolution duly passed shall be binding on all Noteholders (whether or not they were present at the meeting at which such resolution was passed).
The Fiscal Agency Agreement provides that a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 90 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes outstanding shall for all purposes be as valid and effective as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders duly convened and held. Such a resolution in writing may be contained in one document or several documents in the same form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more Noteholders.
(b) Modification of the Fiscal Agency Agreement: The Issuer and the Guarantor shall only permit any modification of, or any waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach of or any failure to comply with, the Fiscal Agency Agreement, if to do so could not reasonably be expected to be prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders.
14 Notices
Notices to the holders of Notes shall be mailed to them at their respective addresses in the Register and deemed to have been given on the fourth weekday (being a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday) after the date of mailing. Notices to the holders of Notes shall also be given or published in a manner which complies with the rules and regulations of any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system (if any) on which the Notes are for the time being admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the first date on which publication is made.
15 Currency Indemnity
Euro is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer or the Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than Euro (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the insolvency, winding--up or dissolution of the Issuer or the Guarantor or otherwise) by any Noteholder in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or 

50

 

the Guarantor shall only constitute a discharge to the Issuer and the Guarantor to the extent of the Euro amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If that Euro amount is less than the Euro amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note, the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) shall indemnify it against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any such event, the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) shall indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Condition, it will be sufficient for the Noteholder to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase been made. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer's and the Guarantor's other obligations, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Noteholder and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note or any other judgment or order made in connection with the Notes.
16 Further Issues
The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders create and issue further notes either having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest on them) and so that such further issue shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding securities of any series (including the Notes) or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their issue. References in these Conditions to the Notes include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition 16 and forming a single series with the Notes.
17 Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Notes under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, but this does not affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from that Act.
18 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing Law: The Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Deed of Covenant, the Deed of Guarantee and the Notes and any non--contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.
(b) Jurisdiction: The courts of England are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes that may arise out of or in connection with the Notes or the Guarantee and accordingly any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with any Notes ("Proceedings") may be brought in such courts. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to Proceedings in such courts whether on the ground of venue or on the ground that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. These submissions are made for the benefit of each of the Noteholders and shall not limit the right of any of them to take Proceedings in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not).
(c) Agent for Service of Process: The Issuer and the Guarantor irrevocably appoints Law Debenture Corporate Services Limited, Fifth Floor, 100 Wood Street, London EC2V 7EX, United Kingdom as its agent in England to receive service of process in any Proceedings in England based on any of the Notes or the Guarantee. If for any reason the Issuer or the Guarantor does not have such an agent in England, it will promptly appoint a substitute process agent and notify the Noteholders of such 

51

 

appointment. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

	7.4
	At least 10 days’ notice of a meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be given in the same manner as for an original meeting and that notice shall state the quorum required at the adjourned meeting. No notice need, however, otherwise be given of an adjourned meeting.

		
	8
	Voting

		
	8.1
	Each question submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands) demanded by the chairman, the lssuer, the Guarantor or one or more persons representing two per cent. of the Notes.

		
	8.2
	Unless a poll is demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has or has not been passed shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes cast in favour of or against it.

		
	8.3
	If a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided below) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which it was demanded as at the date it was taken. A demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting continuing for the transaction of business other than the question on which it has been demanded.

		
	8.4
	A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken at once.

		
	8.5
	On a show of hands every person who is present in person and who produces a Note or is a proxy has one vote.

Without prejudice to the obligations of proxies, a person entitled to more than one vote need not use them all or cast them all in the same way.

		
	8.6
	In case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to any other votes which he may have.

		
	9
	Effect and Publication of an Extraordinary Resolution

An Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all the Noteholders, whether or not present at the meeting, and each of them shall be bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing 

57

 

of such a resolution shall be conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify its being passed. The Issuer shall give notice of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution to Noteholders within 14 days but failure to do so shall not invalidate the resolution.
		
	10
	Minutes

Minutes shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting and, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in them. Until the contrary is proved every meeting for which minutes have been so made and signed shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted.
		
	11
	Written Resolutions and Electronic Consent

		
	11.1
	Subject to paragraph 11.2 below, a Written Resolution may be contained in one document or in several documents in like form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more of the Noteholders.

		
	11.2
	For so long as the Notes are in the form of a Global Certificate registered in the name of any nominee for, one or more of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or an Alternative Clearing System, then, in respect of any resolution proposed by the Issuer or the Guarantor:

		
	11.2.1
	where the terms of the proposed resolution have been notified to the Noteholders through the relevant clearing system(s), the Issuer and the Guarantor shall be entitled to rely upon approval of such resolution proposed by the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) given by way of electronic consents communicated through the electronic communications systems of the relevant clearing system(s) in accordance with their operating rules and procedures by or on behalf of the holders of not less than 90 per cent. in principal amount of the Notes outstanding (“Electronic Consent”). Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be liable or responsible to anyone for such reliance; and 

		
	11.2.2
	where Electronic Consent is not being sought, for the purpose of determining whether a Written Resolution has been validly passed, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall be entitled to rely on consent or instructions given in writing directly to the Issuer and/or the Guarantor, as the case may be, by (a) accountholders in the clearing system(s) with entitlements to such Global Certificate and/or, (b) where the accountholders hold any such entitlement on behalf of another person, on written consent from or written instruction by the person identified by that accountholder as the person for whom such entitlement is held. For the purpose of establishing the entitlement to give any such consent or instruction, the Issuer shall be entitled to rely on any certificate or other document issued by, in the case of (a) above, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other relevant alternative clearing system (the “relevant clearing system”) and, in the case of (b) above, the relevant clearing system and the accountholder identified by the relevant clearing system for the purposes of (b) above. Any resolution passed in such manner shall be binding on all Noteholders, even if the relevant consent or instruction proves to be defective. Any such certificate or other document shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes. Any such certificate or other document may comprise any form of statement or print out of 

58

 

electronic records provided by the relevant clearing system (including Euroclear’s EUCLID or Clearstream, Luxembourg’s CreationOnline system) in accordance with its usual procedures and in which the accountholder of a particular principal amount of the Notes is clearly identified together with the amount of such holding.

	1
	Each Certificate shall represent an integral number of Notes.

		
	2
	Unless otherwise requested by him and agreed by the Issuer and save as provided in the Conditions, each holder of more than one Note shall be entitled to receive only one Certificate in respect of his holding.

		
	3
	Unless otherwise requested by them and agreed by the Issuer and save as provided in the Conditions, the joint holders of one or more Notes shall be entitled to receive only one Certificate in respect of their joint holding which shall, except where they otherwise direct, be delivered to the joint holder whose name appears first in the register of the holders of Notes in respect of the joint holding. All references to “holder”, “transferor” and “transferee” shall include joint holders, transferors and transferees.

		
	4
	The executors or administrators of a deceased holder of Notes (not being one of several joint holders) and, in the case of the death of one or more of joint holders, the survivor or survivors of such joint holders shall be the only persons recognised by the Issuer as having any title to such Notes.

		
	5
	Any person becoming entitled to Notes in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder of such Notes may, upon producing such evidence that he holds the position in respect of which he proposes to act under this paragraph or of his title as a Transfer Agent or the Registrar shall require (including certificates and/or legal opinions), be registered himself as the holder of such Notes or, subject to the preceding paragraphs as to transfer, may transfer such Notes. The Issuer, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar may retain any amount payable upon the Notes to which any person is so entitled until such person shall be so registered or shall duly transfer the Notes.

If the signature corresponds with the name of the registered holder, such evidence may take the form of a certifying signature by a notary public or a recognised bank. If the Surrendering Party is not the registered holder or is not one of the persons included on any list of duly authorised persons supplied by the registered holder, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent shall require reasonable evidence (which may include legal opinions) of the authority of the Surrendering Party to act on behalf of, or in substitution for, the registered holder in relation to such Notes. In the case of a transfer of fewer than all the Notes in respect of which a Certificate is issued, a new Certificate in respect of the Notes not transferred will be so delivered to the holder to its address appearing on the Register.

2.3      Optional Payments of Loans. Subject to Section 3.4 and the requirements of Section 2.7, each relevant Global Borrower may (a) prepay Floating Rate Loans following irrevocable notice given to the Global Administrative Agent by such Borrower, by not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of the proposed prepayment, such notice specifying the aggregate principal amount of and the proposed date of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the specified Floating Rate Loans comprising part of the same Syndicated Global Advance in whole or ratably in part and (b) prepay any Fixed Rate Loans following notice given to the Global Administrative Agent by such Borrower by not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date that is not less than one (1) Business Day preceding the date of the proposed prepayment, such notice specifying the Syndicated Global Advance to be prepaid and the proposed date of the prepayment, and, if such notice is given, such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Fixed Rate Loans comprising an Advance in whole (and not in part), together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided that any notice of optional prepayment of the Loans delivered by Harley pursuant to this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by Harley (by notice to the Global Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  With respect to Floating Rate Advances, each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000.
2.4      Reduction of Commitments.  
(a)      Harley may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders, in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Global Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances; provided further that any such notice delivered by Harley pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by Harley (by notice to the Global Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  All accrued and unpaid commitment fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder.  The Global Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the relevant Lenders any notices received by it under this Section 2.4(a).
(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the acquisition of one Lender by another Lender, or the merger, consolidation or other combination of any two or more Lenders (any such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other combination being referred to hereinafter as a “Combination” and each Lender which is a party to such Combination being hereinafter referred to as a “Combined Lender”), Harley may notify the Global Administrative Agent that it desires to reduce the Commitment of the Lender surviving such Combination (the “Surviving Lender”) to an amount equal to the Commitment of that Combined Lender which had the largest Commitment of each of the Combined Lenders party to such Combination (such largest Commitment being the “Surviving Commitment” and the Commitments of the other Combined Lenders being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Retired Commitments”).  If the Required Lenders (determined as set forth below) and the Global Administrative Agent agree to such reduction in the Surviving Lender’s Commitment, then (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be reduced by the Retired Commitments effective upon the effective date of the Combination (or such later date as Harley may specify in its request), provided, that, on or before such date the Borrowers have paid in full the outstanding principal amount of the Loans

The Global Administrative Agent may require the Replacement Lenders to execute such documents, instruments or agreements as the Global Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to evidence such Replacement Lenders’ agreement to become parties hereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2.4(b), Required Lenders shall be determined as if the reduction in the aggregate amount of the Commitments requested by Harley had occurred (i.e., the Combined Lenders shall be deemed to have a single Commitment equal to the Surviving Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be deemed to have been reduced by the Retired Commitments).    
2.5      Method of Borrowing Syndicated Global Advances. The Global Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon receipt of a Syndicated Global Advance Borrowing Notice, notify each Syndicated Global Lender of such Syndicated Global Advance Borrowing Notice and, not later than such time as is reasonably requested by the Global Administrative Agent on each Borrowing Date, each Syndicated Global Lender shall make available its Syndicated Global Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available to the Global Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant hereto.

2.6      Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Syndicated Global Advances. Each Borrower shall select the Type of Syndicated Global Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable to each Syndicated Global Advance from time to time.

There shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Syndicated Global Advances to any one Global Borrower at any time.  Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the date of the making of such Advance to (but not including) the date of repayment thereof at the applicable Floating Rate, changing when and as such Floating Rate changes, plus the Floating Rate Margin.  Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Syndicated Global Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.  Each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advance.
2.7      Minimum Amount of Each Syndicated Global Advance.  Each Syndicated Global Advance shall be in the applicable minimum amounts specified in Schedule I; provided, however, that any Base Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.

(B)      No Conversion Post-Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.8(A) or Section 2.8(B), no Syndicated Global Loan may be converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Loan except with the consent of the Required Lenders when any Default has occurred and is continuing.
(C)      Conversion/Continuation Notice.  The applicable Borrower shall give the Global Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Loan into a Fixed Rate Loan or continuation of a Fixed Rate Loan not later than the time prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation which is consistent with the requisite time and notice required in connection with Section 2.6, specifying:  (1) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) of such conversion or continuation; (2) the amount and Type of the Syndicated Global Loan to be converted or continued; and (3) the amounts of Fixed Rate Loan(s) into which such Syndicated Global Loan is to be converted or continued and the duration of the Interest Periods applicable thereto.

Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Syndicated Global Lenders and such Bid Rate Advance shall not be made.
(v)      If the applicable Global Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Syndicated Global Lender or Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(y), the Global Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Syndicated Global Lender that has made an offer as described in Section 2.10(b)(ii) of the date, and aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Advance and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii) have been accepted by the applicable Global Borrower and (B) each Syndicated Global Lender that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance, of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan to be made by such Syndicated Global Lender as part of such Bid Rate Advance.  Each Syndicated Global Lender that is to make a Bid Rate Loan as part of such Bid Rate Advance shall, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Bid Rate Advance specified in the notice received from the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Lending Installation to the Global Administrative Agent at the Lending Installation of the Global Administrative Agent most recently designated by the Global Administrative Agent for this purpose, such Syndicated Global Lender’s portion of such Bid Rate Advance, in same day funds in Dollars.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV and after receipt by the Global Administrative Agent of such funds, the Global Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Global Borrower at the Global Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.  Promptly after each Bid Rate Advance, the Global Administrative Agent will notify each Syndicated Global Lender of the amount of such Bid Rate Advance, the consequent Bid Rate Reduction and the dates upon which such Bid Rate Reduction commenced and will terminate.
(vi)      Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.10(b), the applicable Global Borrower may elect at its own discretion to assume the responsibilities of the Global Administrative Agent in connection with the solicitation and acceptance of Bid Rate Loans as described in this section.  In the event that the applicable Global Borrower makes the election described in this subsection, all notices to be given by such Borrower to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by such Borrower directly to the Global Administrative Agent and the Syndicated Global Lenders, all notices to be given by the Global Administrative Agent to the Syndicated Global Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by such Borrower to the Syndicated Global Lenders, and all notices to be given by the Syndicated Global Lenders to the Global Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be given by the Syndicated Global Lenders to such Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent.  In addition, any fee payable to the Global Administrative Agent in connection with the Bid Rate Loans in connection with such Bid Rate Loans solicited and accepted by any Global Borrower pursuant to this clause (vi) is hereby waived.
(b)      Each Bid Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of approximately $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and, following the making of each Bid Rate Advance, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10(a).
(c)      Each acceptance by the applicable Global Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(iii)(y) of the offers made in response to a Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice shall be treated as an acceptance of such offers in ascending order of the rates or margins, as applicable, at which the same were made but if, as a result thereof, two or more offers at the same such rate or margin would be partially accepted, 

26

then the amounts of the Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be treated as being the amounts which bear the same proportion to one another as the respective amounts of the Bid Rate Loans so offered bear to one another but, in each case, rounded as the Global Administrative Agent (or the applicable Global Borrower in the event such Borrower runs the bid rate process under clause (b)(vi) above) may consider necessary to ensure that the amount of each such Bid Rate Loan is approximately $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
(d)      Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.10, each Global Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.10, repay pursuant to Section 2.10(f), and reborrow under this Section 2.10.
(e)      The applicable Global Borrower shall repay to the Global Administrative Agent, for the account of each Syndicated Global Lender which has made a Bid Rate Loan to it, on the maturity date of such Bid Rate Loan (such maturity date being that specified by such Borrower for repayment of such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice), or, if earlier, the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, the then unpaid principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan.  No Borrower shall have the right to prepay any principal amount of any Bid Rate Loan without the consent of the applicable Syndicated Global Lender.
(f)      The applicable Global Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Bid Rate Loan made to it, from the date of such Bid Rate Loan to the date the principal amount of such Bid Rate Loan is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Bid Rate Loan specified by the Syndicated Global Lender making such Bid Rate Loan in the related notice submitted by such Syndicated Global Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(ii), payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Bid Rate Loan in the related Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice and on any date on which such Bid Rate Loan is prepaid (to the extent such accrued interest relates to the principal amount prepaid), whether by acceleration or otherwise.  In the event the term of any Bid Rate Loan shall be longer than three months, interest thereon shall be payable not less frequently than once each three-month period during such term.  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Bid Rate Advance Borrowing Notice, interest on Bid Rate Advances shall be calculated (a) for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year for Bid Rate Advances made pursuant to an Indexed Rate Auction and (b) for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year for Bid Rate Advances made pursuant to an Absolute Rate Auction.
(g)      Except as provided in clause (b)(vi) above, in connection with each Bid Rate Loan, the applicable Global Borrower shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent the fee with respect thereto set forth in the relevant fee letter dated as of even date herewith between the Borrowers and the Global Administrative Agent.
2.11      Default Rate.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Global Administrative Agent may with the consent, and shall upon the request, of the Required Lenders require that such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided herein or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances as provided herein.
2.12      Method of Payment.  All payments of principal, interest, and fees hereunder to the Global Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (a) at the Global 

27

Administrative Agent’s office at the applicable location at which such Advance was made in immediately available funds or at any other Lending Installation of the Global Administrative Agent specified in writing (by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day before the date when due) by the Global Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower, by 12:00 noon local time in New York, New York on the date when due and shall be made ratably among the relevant Lenders (unless such amount is not to be shared ratably in accordance with the terms hereof).  Each Advance shall be repaid or prepaid in Dollars in the amount borrowed and interest payable thereon shall be paid in Dollars.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the obligation of any Borrower in respect of any Advance shall not be discharged by an amount paid in any currency other than Dollars or at another location other than the location designated by the Global Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent the amount so paid, on prompt conversion into Dollars and transfer to the relevant Lenders under normal banking procedure, does not yield the amount of Dollars due under the Loan Documents.  In the event that any payment, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer, does not result in payment of the amount of Dollars due under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall have an independent cause of action against the applicable Borrower(s) for the currency deficit.  Each payment delivered to the Global Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Global Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds which the Global Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Global Administrative Agent from such Lender.
2.13      Notes, Telephonic Notices.  Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it each be evidenced by the applicable Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans.  In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note(s) for such Loans payable to such Lender.  Thereafter, such Loans evidenced by such Note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more Notes, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation.  Each Borrower authorizes the applicable Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent to extend Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons that the Global Administrative Agent or Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower.  Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Global Administrative Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer, if such confirmation is requested by the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Global Administrative Agent and Lenders, (i) the telephonic notice shall govern absent manifest error and (ii) the Global Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Authorizing Officer who provided such confirmation of such difference.
2.14      Promise to Pay; Interest and Fees; Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis; Loan Accounts.
(A)      Promise to Pay.  Each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan made to it and all other Obligations incurred by it, and to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
(B)      Interest Payment Dates.  Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).  Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Loan is prepaid (to the extent such accrued interest relates to the principal amount prepaid), whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity.  Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Loan having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period.  Interest accrued on each Bid Rate Loan shall be payable as provided in Section 2.10(g).  Interest accrued on the principal 

28

balance of all other Obligations shall be payable in arrears (i) upon repayment thereof in full, (ii) if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (iii) if not theretofore paid in full, on demand, commencing on the first such day following the date such Obligation became payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(C)      Fees.  The relevant Borrowers shall, or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, pay to the Global Administrative Agent, for the account of each relevant Lender in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, on arrangements satisfactory to Harley and the Global Administrative Agent, a commitment fee accruing at the rate of the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate per annum from and after the date hereof until the Termination Date on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Commitment during a given calendar quarter calculated on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter.  All such commitment fees payable under this clause (C) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring after the date hereof and, in addition, on the Termination Date.
(D)      Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest on all Loans (other than Base Rate Loans with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate) and all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.  Interest on Base Rate Loans with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Obligation is incurred but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by the times and in the offices required under Section 2.12.  If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan or any payment of any other Obligations shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
(E)      Loan Account.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a “Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(F)      Entries Binding.  The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, unless any Borrower objects to information contained in the Register and each Loan Account within thirty (30) days of such Borrower’s receipt of such information.
2.15      Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Commitment Reductions.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Global Administrative Agent will notify each relevant Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Continuation/Conversion Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder.  The Global Administrative Agent will notify each relevant Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate.
2.16      Lending Installations.  Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation reasonably selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and any Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation.  Each Lender may, by written or facsimile notice to the Global Administrative Agent and Harley, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

29

2.17      Non-Receipt of Funds by the Global Administrative Agent.  Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Global Administrative Agent prior to the date (or time, in the case of a Floating Rate Loan) on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Global Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Global Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Global Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Global Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Global Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Global Administrative Agent, repay to the Global Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Global Administrative Agent until the date the Global Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2.11 if applicable).
2.18      Maturity Date.  This Agreement shall be effective until the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement on the Maturity Date, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity and reimbursement obligations, to the extent such obligations have not accrued) shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all financing arrangements under the Loan Documents among the Borrowers and the Lenders shall have been terminated, all of the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive.
2.19      Term-Out Option.  Harley may, by irrevocable written notice to the Global Administrative Agent given not fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, elect (such election, the “Term-Out Option”), effective as of the Termination Date (the “Term-Out Date”), to extend the Maturity Date for all or a ratable portion of the Advances outstanding on such date to May 11, 2021; provided that such extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective only if, on the Term-Out Date, (a) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Term-Out Date and immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the Term-Out Option, (b) the representations and warranties of Harley set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if the applicable representation or warranty is qualified by Material Adverse Effect or materiality) on and as of the Term-Out Date and immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the Term-Out Option, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (c) the Global Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from Harley signed by an Authorized Officer of Harley (1) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) and (2) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by Harley approving or consenting to such extension of the Maturity Date, (d) Harley shall pay to the Global Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a term-out fee equal to 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Advances the Maturity Date in respect of which is being extended on the Termination Date pursuant to the exercise of the Term-Out Option in accordance with this Section 2.19, and (e) Harley shall not have previously exercised the Term-Out Option.  In the event the Maturity Date shall be so extended, (i) all Advances that are subject to such extension and outstanding on the Termination Date shall continue to constitute Advances following such date, (ii) all Advances that are not subject to such extension but are outstanding on the Termination Date shall be repaid on such date, (iii) the aggregate Commitments will terminate on the Termination Date and the commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.14(C) shall cease to accrue on the Termination Date, and (iv) no Borrower may borrow or reborrow any additional Advances on or after the Termination Date.

ARTICLE III      CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
3.1      Yield Protection.  If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but excluding those that are merely proposed and not in effect) adopted after the Closing Date (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender) and having general applicability to all banks (or a Lender’s holding company or applicable Lending Installation for purposes of this Agreement) within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the effect of and phasing in of capital requirements or other regulations or guidelines passed prior to the Closing Date (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender)), or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance of any Lender therewith (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Law”; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except to the extent they are merely proposed and not in effect, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued to the extent having general applicability to all banks (or a Lender’s holding company or applicable Lending Installation for purposes of this Agreement) within the jurisdiction in which the applicable Lender (or its holding company or such Lending Installation) operates),
(i)      subjects the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings (other than (A) Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(ii)      imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans, or
(iii)      imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining the Fixed Rate Loans or reduces any amount received by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Loans held or interest or fee received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Person of making, renewing or maintaining its Commitment or Loans or to reduce any amount received under this Agreement, then, within 30 days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of written demand by such Person pursuant to Section 3.6, such Borrower shall pay such Person that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which such Person determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its Commitment as reasonably determined by such Person (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of such 

31

Person under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.1 after consideration of such factors as such Person then reasonably determines to be relevant).
3.2      Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.  If a Lender determines (i) the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a “Change” (as defined below), and (ii) such increase in capital or liquidity will result in an increase in the cost to such Lender of maintaining its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder, then, within 30 days after receipt by the relevant Borrower of written demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 3.6, such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy and liquidity) as such amount is reasonably determined by such Lender (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Lender under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.2 after consideration of such factors as such Lender then reasonably determines to be relevant).  “Change” means any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but excluding those that are merely proposed and not in effect) after the Closing Date (or with respect to any Lender, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender) and having general applicability to all banks and financial institutions within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates which affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender (provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except to the extent they are merely proposed and not in effect, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued to the extent having general applicability to all banks (or a Lender’s holding company or applicable Lending Installation for purposes of this Agreement) within the jurisdiction in which the applicable Lender (or its holding company or such Lending Installation) operates).
3.3      Availability of Types of Advances.  
(a)      If (i) any Lender determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, (ii) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Advance, the Global Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or LIBOR, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for a Loan for the applicable Interest Period or (iii) the Required Lenders with respect to Fixed Rate Advances determine that (x) deposits of a type, currency and maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available or (y) the interest rate, Eurodollar Rate or LIBOR applicable to a Fixed Rate Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such a Fixed Rate Advance, then the Global Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Global Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be given by the Global Administrative 

32

Agent promptly after such circumstances cease to exist), (A) the availability of Fixed Rate Advances of the affected Type shall be suspended and (B) in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause (i) above, the Global Administrative Agent shall require any affected Fixed Rate Advances to be repaid or, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the option of the applicable U.S. Borrower, converted to Base Rate Advances.
(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Global Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.3(a)(ii) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.3(a)(ii) have not arisen but any of (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBOR Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Global Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Global Administrative Agent and Harley shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.3, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Global Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 3.3(b), only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate for the Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (A) the availability of Fixed Rate Advances of the affected Type shall be suspended and (B) in the case of any occurrence set forth in clause (i) above, the Global Administrative Agent shall require any affected Fixed Rate Advances to be repaid or, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at the option of the applicable U.S. Borrower, converted to Base Rate Advances.
3.4      Funding Indemnification.  If any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance or Bid Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a Fixed Rate Advance or the applicable maturity date in the case of a Bid Rate Advance, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, assignment (to the extent such assignment is effected pursuant to Section 3.8) or otherwise, or a Fixed Rate Advance or Bid Rate Advance is not made or continued on the date specified by any Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, Harley and such Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost (including lost profits) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance or Bid Rate Advance, as the case may be.

33

3.5      Taxes.  (i)  Unless such deduction is required by applicable law, all payments by any Borrower or the Guarantor to or for the account of any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes.  If any Borrower or the Guarantor or the Global Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, then, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 3.5, (a) the sum payable by such Borrower or the Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Global Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall make such deductions, (c) such Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) such Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall furnish to the Global Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Global Administrative Agent.
(ii)In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 3.5, each Borrower and the Guarantor hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder by the relevant Borrower or the Guarantor to the relevant Lender, or under any Note (but excluding any such taxes, charges or levies in respect of any assignment, sale or transfer or participation by any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent and excluding Excluded Taxes) or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).
(iii)Each Borrower and the Guarantor hereby agree to indemnify the Global Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that each Borrower and the Guarantor shall not be required to so indemnify to the extent any relevant amount is actually compensated for under any other provision of this Agreement.  Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
(iv)At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Syndicated Global Lender, such Lender to the extent it is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will deliver to each of Harley, the Guarantor and the Global Administrative Agent (1) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as applicable, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (2) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is fiscally transparent, a copy of IRS Form W-8IMY together with the applicable accompanying forms, W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax (such certificate, an “Exemption Certificate”).  Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of Harley, the Guarantor and the Global Administrative Agent (i) two renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (ii) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by Harley, the Guarantor or the Global Administrative Agent.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has 

34

occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender immediately advises Harley, the Guarantor and the Global Administrative Agent in writing that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
(v)Except as provided in clause (xii) below, for any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide Harley or the Guarantor with an appropriate form or Exemption Certificate pursuant to clause (iv) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form or Exemption Certificate originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to additional amounts or indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or Exemption Certificate required under clause (iv), above, Harley or the Guarantor shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.
(vi)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 Harley and the Global Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Harley, the Guarantor or the Global 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 Harley, the Guarantor or the Global Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Harley, the Guarantor and the Global Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has or has not 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 (vi), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
(vii)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Global Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Global Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.2(D) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Global Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts 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 Global Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Global 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 Global Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Global Administrative Agent under this clause (vii).

(ix)[Reserved]

(xi)If a Borrower or the Guarantor pays an amount under this Section 3.5, or is required to make a deduction or withholding in relation to a payment hereunder or under any Note and account for the same to the relevant tax authority, which gives or may give rise to a Tax Credit for the recipient of that payment (the “Recipient”), the Recipient shall, promptly upon utilisation or receipt of such Tax Credit, pay an amount to such Borrower or the Guarantor which will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the original amount paid under this Section 3.5 (or withheld or deducted pursuant to applicable law) not been required to have been made, withheld or deducted; provided that nothing in this clause (xi) shall require any Lender to make available its tax return (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential).
(xii)If (i) a Lender or the Global Administrative Agent assigns, transfers or sells all or any portion of its rights and/or delegates all or any portion of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or changes its Lending Installation for the purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) as a direct result of circumstances existing at the date of the assignment, transfer, sale, delegation or change, any Borrower or the Guarantor would be obliged to pay any incremental amount under this Section 3.5, then the transferee or Lender acting through its new Lending Installation shall only be entitled to receive payment under this Section 3.5 to the same extent that the previous Lender or the Lender acting through its previous Lending Installation would have been entitled if no such transaction had taken place.  If a Lender sells a participation in all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the participant shall only be entitled to receive payment under this Section 3.5 to the extent that the Lender selling the participation would have been entitled if no such participation had taken place.
3.6      Mitigation; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the relevant Borrower or the Guarantor to such Lender under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender requiring compensation pursuant to this Article III shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent in writing of any Change, law, policy, rule, guideline or directive giving rise to such demand for compensation; provided that the relevant Borrower or the Guarantor shall not be required to pay such amounts to the extent such amounts accrued prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the date of such notice; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such amounts are retroactive, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  Any demand for compensation pursuant to this Article III shall be in writing and shall state the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 and shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount.  Such written demand shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the applicable fixed rate of interest with respect to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  The obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantor under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
3.7      [Reserved]
3.8      Replacement of Affected Lenders.  (a) If any Lender (or any Participant holding interests in any Loan owing to such Lender or in any Commitment of such Lender or in any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents) requests compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.2, or (b) if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 3.5, or (c) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (d) if any Lender (1) shall at any time have (or have a parent that has) a long-term credit rating of 

36

lower than BBB from S&P, lower than Baa2 from Moody’s or lower than the equivalent rating from any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or shall at any time not have a long-term credit rating from S&P, Moody’s or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization (in each case under this clause (d)(1) regardless of whether any such circumstances existed at the time such Lender became a Lender), (2) is an Ineligible Institution, (3) enters into, or purports to enter into, an assignment or a participation with an Ineligible Institution in violation of this Agreement or (4) has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur), then Harley may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Global Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.3), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Bid Rate Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the case of an assignment to an assignee which is not a Lender, Harley shall have received the prior written consent of the Global Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Bid Rate Loans) and participations in the relevant Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Harley (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment arising under clause (d)(1) above, the assignee shall have a credit rating greater than or equal to BBB from S&P and/or greater than or equal to Baa2 from Moody’s. Each party hereto agrees that (1) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an assignment and assumption executed by Harley, the Global Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System as to which the Global Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (2) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
3.9       Removal of Lenders.  (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender (or any Participant holding interests in any Loan owing to such Lender or in any Commitment of such Lender or in any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents) (each, a “Demanding Lender”) demands any payment of any amount pursuant to this Article III and the amount so demanded is disproportionately greater than the amount of compensation (if any) that the Borrowers generally are obligated to pay to other Lenders arising out of the same event or circumstance giving rise to such demand (a “Trigger Event”), then Harley may terminate such Demanding Lender’s Commitment hereunder, provided that (A) no Unmatured Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination, (B) in the case of a Demanding Lender, Harley shall concurrently terminate the Commitment of each other Lender that has made a demand for payment under this Article III that arises out of such Trigger Event and that is similarly disproportionate to the amount the Borrowers are generally obligated to pay to other Lenders arising out of such Trigger Event, (C) the Global Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall have consented to each such Commitment termination (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may include consideration of the adequacy of the liquidity of Harley and its Subsidiaries) and (D) such Demanding Lender shall have been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective Borrowers may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Lender (other than another Lender that has a Commitment that concurrently is being terminated under this Section 3.9(i))).  In no event shall the termination of a Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this Section 

37

3.9(i) impair or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers to make any payment demanded by such Lender in accordance with this Article III.  (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if a Lender has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur) (each, a “Bail-In Lender”), then Harley may terminate such Bail-In Lender’s Commitment hereunder, provided that (A) no Unmatured Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Commitment termination, (B) in the case of a Bail-In Lender, Harley shall concurrently terminate the Commitment of each other Lender that is a Bail-In Lender at such time, (C) the Global Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall have consented to each such Commitment termination (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may include consideration of the adequacy of the liquidity of Harley and its Subsidiaries) and (D) such Bail-In Lender shall have been paid all amounts then due to it under this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective Borrowers may pay in connection with any such termination without making ratable payments to any other Lender (other than another Lender that has a Commitment that concurrently is being terminated under this Section 3.9(ii))).

Judgments or orders for the payment of money in excess of $125,000,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against any Borrower or any Material Subsidiary with respect to which (i) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgments or orders or (ii) there shall be any period of ten (10) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgments or orders, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; provided, however, that any such judgment or order shall not be a Default or included in the calculation of the aggregate amount of judgments or orders under this Section 7.1(f) if and for so long as (i) the amount of such judgment or order is covered by a valid and binding policy of insurance between the defendant and the insurer covering payment thereof and (ii) such insurer, which shall be rated at least “A” by A.M.

ARTICLE VIII      ACCELERATION, DEFAULTING LENDERS; WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
8.1      Remedies.
(a)       Termination of Commitments; Acceleration.  If any Default described in Section 7.1(e) occurs with respect to any Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender.  If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may (i) terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder or (ii) declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, and upon any declaration under clause (ii), the Commitments shall terminate and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower expressly waives.
(b)      Rescission.  If, at any time after termination of the Lenders’ obligations to make Loans but before acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the relevant Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Defaults and Unmatured Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 8.3, then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to Harley, the termination of Lenders’ respective obligations to make Loans or the aforesaid acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Unmatured Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.  The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Required Lenders; they are not intended to benefit any Borrower and do not give any Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any termination of the aforesaid obligations of the Lenders or any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.
8.2      Defaulting Lender.  In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global Advance requested or deemed requested by the applicable Borrower which such Lender 

49

is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Advance being hereinafter referred to as a “Non Pro Rata Loan”) or any Lender otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender, until the earlier of such Lender’s cure of such failure and the termination of the Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Global Administrative Agent by any Borrower and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender’s share of all other Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the applicable Borrower by the Global Administrative Agent (“Cure Loans”) on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
(i)      the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 2.8;
(ii)      any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global Advance at such time as an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal portion of such Advance is fully funded to the applicable Borrower, whether made by such Defaulting Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 8.2, and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;
(iii)      amounts advanced to any Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Syndicated Global Advance shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Syndicated Global Loans which are Base Rate Loans, in effect from time to time, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Base Rate Loans;
(iv)      regardless of whether or not a Default has occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of any Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, would be applied to the outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Base Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Base Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans;
(v)      for so long as and until the earlier of any such Defaulting Lender’s cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender and the termination of the Commitments, the term “Required Lenders” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean Lenders (excluding all Defaulting Lenders) whose Pro Rata Shares represent greater than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Pro Rata Shares of such Lenders; and
(vi)      for so long as and until any such Defaulting Lender’s cure of all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any fees, and no fees shall accrue, with respect to its Commitment.
8.3      Amendments.  Except as provided in Section 3.3(b), subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Global Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the  Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby:

50

(i)      postpone or extend the Termination Date, the Maturity Date (except as permitted under Section 2.19) or any other date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (except with respect to a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof) or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment of such Lender;
(ii)      reduce the principal amount of any Loans, or reduce the rate or amount of or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or other amounts payable hereunder (except with respect to a waiver of the application of the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof and except that no amendment entered into pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3(b) shall constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii));
(iii)      reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the percentage or number of Lenders specified to be the applicable percentage or number in this Agreement to act on specified matters or amend the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”;
(iv)      increase the amount of the Commitment of any Syndicated Global Lender or increase any Lender’s Pro Rata Share, it being understood that an amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, mandatory prepayment, Unmatured Default or Default shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Syndicated Global Lender;
(v)      permit any Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement;
(vi)      [reserved];
(vii)      release the Guarantor other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;
(viii)      alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts under the Loan Documents shall be applied as among the Lenders; or
(ix)      amend this Section 8.3.
 No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Global Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Global Administrative Agent.  The Global Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3(B) without obtaining the consent of any of the Lenders or Borrowers.
If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “the Lenders”, “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then Harley may (at its sole cost and expense) elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to Harley and the Global Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an assignment and assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 13.3(A), 

51

and with Harley or such replacement Lender paying the $3,500 processing fee required in Section 13.3(B) and (ii) Harley shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all principal, interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by any Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as to any amendment or amendment and restatement otherwise approved in accordance with this Section, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent or approval of any Lender that, upon giving effect to such amendment or amendment and restatement, would have no Commitment or outstanding Loans so long as such Lender receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification becomes effective.
8.4      Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence.  Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.  All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

9.5      Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement.  The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other.

52

obligations hereunder.  This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

The Borrowers shall reimburse the Global Administrative Agent and the Arranger for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges of attorneys and paralegals for each such Person, which attorneys and paralegals may be employees of such Persons) paid or incurred by such Persons in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution (including via the internet), review, amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan Documents.  The Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and time charges of attorneys and paralegals for each such Person, which attorneys and paralegals may be employees of such Persons) paid or incurred by each such Person in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of the Loan Documents; provided that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to so reimburse for more than one primary law firm (and, in addition to such primary law firm, one local counsel engaged in each relevant jurisdiction by such primary law firm) as counsel for the Global Administrative Agent and more than one primary law firm (and, in addition to such primary law firm, one local counsel engaged in each relevant jurisdiction by such primary law firm) as counsel for the Lenders in connection with such collection or enforcement.
(B)      Indemnity.  Each of the Borrowers further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Global Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each and all of the Lenders, and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article IV) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of:

53

provided, however, no Borrower shall have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent caused solely by or resulting solely from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  If the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.
(C)      Waiver of Certain Claims; Settlement of Claims.  Each of the Companies further agrees to assert no claim against any of the Indemnitees on any theory of liability for consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages.  No settlement shall be entered into by any Company or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to any claim, litigation, arbitration or other proceeding relating to or arising out of the transaction evidenced by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (whether or not the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement releases all Indemnitees from any and all liability  with respect thereto.
(D)      Survival of Agreements.  The obligations and agreements of the Companies under this Section 9.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth such amounts due in reasonable detail.
9.7      Numbers of Documents.  All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Global Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Global Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the relevant Lenders.

Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Harley or any Subsidiary of Harley at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) for purposes of calculating shareholders’ equity, by excluding all accumulated other comprehensive income (or loss) as shown on the most recent Consolidated balance sheet of Harley or HDFS, as applicable, delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.9(a) or 6.1.9(b) or, if prior to the date of the delivery of the first financial statements to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.9(a) or 6.1.9(b), the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.1.5.

Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
9.10      Nonliability of Lenders.  The relationship among the Companies and the Credit Parties shall be solely that of borrower or guarantor and lender.  No Credit Party shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any of the Companies.

No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Company by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Company in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies.  Each Company also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to such Company or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.
9.11      CHOICE OF LAW AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO BANKS.

55

CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE GLOBAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY COMPANY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
9.12      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE COMPANIES, THE GLOBAL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
9.14      USA PATRIOT ACT.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Company, which information includes the name and address of such Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Company in accordance with the Act.
9.15      Service of Process.  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article XIV.

9.16      Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be 

56

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 any EEA Resolution Authority.
To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, each Lender shall notify Harley and the Global Administrative Agent if it has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur).
9.17      Certain Calculations.  No Unmatured Default or Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in Dollars in ‎Sections 6.2 and 6.3 and Article VII under this Agreement being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the last day of the fiscal quarter of Harley immediately preceding the fiscal quarter of Harley in which such transaction requiring a determination occurs.
9.18      Interest Rates.  The Global Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to its obligation to apply the definition of such rate in accordance with its terms).
9.19      LLC Division.  Any reference in this Agreement to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust, in each case within the meaning of applicable law, or an allocation of assets, rights, obligations or liabilities to a series of a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), in each case within the meaning of applicable law, as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person, and any Person resulting from such a division of a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust shall constitute a separate Person hereunder (and any Person resulting from such a division of any limited liability company, limited partnership or trust that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute a separate Person or entity).
9.20      Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on Fixed Rate Advances is determined by reference to LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate 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 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, 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 Administration, 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 upon which to determine the interest rate on Fixed Rate Advances.  In light of this eventuality, 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 rate.  In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 3.3(b) of this Agreement, such Section 3.3(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Global Administrative Agent will notify Harley, pursuant to Section 3.3, and 

57

endeavor to agree upon a successor benchmark as expressly contemplated by Section 3.3, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based.  However, the Global Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Global Administrative Agent shall administer the definition of any such rate in accordance with its terms and to comply with the terms of Section 3.3(b), subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3(b), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

10.1      Appointment; Nature of Relationship.  JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is appointed by the Lenders (each reference in this Article X to a Lender being in its capacity as a Lender) as the Global Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Global Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.

10.4      No Responsibility for Loans, Creditworthiness, Recitals, Etc.

The Global Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (except with respect to actions that require the consent of all of the Lenders as provided in Section 8.3), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Notes.  The Global Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

The Global Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, affiliates and attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.8      The Global Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Global Administrative Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined at the time such indemnity is sought) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by any Borrower for which the Global Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification by any Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Global Administrative 

59

Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, distribution  (including via the internet) and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including as a result of a dispute among the Lenders or between any Lender and the Global Administrative Agent, and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Global Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, including as a result of a dispute among the Lenders or between any Lender and the Global Administrative Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Global Administrative Agent.
10.9      Rights as a Lender.  With respect to its Commitment, Loans made by it and any Notes issued to it, the Global Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Global Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”, as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Global Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  The Global Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Harley, any Company or any of their Subsidiaries in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.
10.10      Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.11      Successor Global Administrative Agent.  The Global Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Global Administrative Agent.  If no successor Global Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Global Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Global Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Global Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, each such successor Global Administrative Agent shall be subject to approval by Harley, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Such successor Global Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank (including a branch thereof) having capital and retained earnings of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Global Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Global Administrative Agent, such successor Global Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Global Administrative Agent, and the retiring Global Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c)  The Global Administrative Agent and the Arranger hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial 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 Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, 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, commitment fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent fees 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.
ARTICLE XI      SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
11.1      Setoff.  In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any indebtedness from any Lender to any Company (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available, but excluding deposits held in a trustee, fiduciary, agency or similar capacity or otherwise for the benefit of a third party) may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender and the other Obligations, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Global Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided further that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such offset and application under this Section 11.1.
11.2      Ratable Payments.  If any Syndicated Global Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Syndicated Global Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Syndicated Global Lender, such Syndicated Global Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Syndicated Global Loans held by the other Syndicated Global Lenders so that after such purchase each Syndicated Global Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Syndicated Global Loans.  If any Syndicated Global Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Syndicated Global Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Syndicated Global Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Syndicated Global Loans.  In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
ARTICLE XII      GUARANTEE

62

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit hereunder, but subject to the provisions of the final paragraph of this Article XII, the Guarantor fully and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations (including, without limitation, interest accruing hereunder after the commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or legislation in any country in which a Company is organized, whether or not allowed as a claim in such case).  The obligations of the Guarantor under this Article XII are sometimes referred to as the “Guarantee”.  The Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation.
The Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, or, except as specifically provided therein, by any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement.
The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other person.
The Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of:
(i)      the validity, enforceability, avoidance, novation or subordination of any of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents;
(ii)      the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or any part of the Obligations whether from or against any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person;
(iii)      the election of any remedy by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent with respect to all or any part of the Obligations;
(iv)      the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by, or on behalf of, any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents;
(v)      the failure of the Global Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations;
(vi)      the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or other bankruptcy-related rules or legislation in any country in which a Company is organized, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

63

(vii)      any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Company, as debtor‐in‐possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or regulations in any country in which a Borrower is organized;
(viii)      the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy-related rules or regulations in any country in which a Company is organized, of all or any portion of the claims of any of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Obligations; or
(ix)      any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower or the Guarantor.
The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations or otherwise.  The Lenders, either themselves or acting through the Global Administrative Agent, are authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, from time to time, (a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the Obligations, or to otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (b) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the Obligations; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, this Guarantee, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the Obligations, (d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in their discretion they may determine; (f) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the Obligations, this Guarantee, any other guaranty of all or any part of the Obligations, and any security or collateral for the Obligations or for any such guaranty.
The Guarantor consents and agrees that none of the Lenders nor the Global Administrative Agent nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that any Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations makes a payment or payments to any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent, or any Lender or the Global Administrative Agent receives any proceeds of collateral for all or any part of the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any Borrower, the Guarantor, such other guarantor or any other Person, or their respective estates, trustees, receivers or any other party, under any bankruptcy law, state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of the Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Global Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, the amount of such unpaid Obligations.  The Guarantor further agrees that if payment in respect of any of the Obligations owed to any Lender shall be due at a place of payment other than as designated in 

64

this Agreement and if, by reason of any Change in Law (as defined in Section 3.1), war or civil disturbance or other event, such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of such Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of such Lender, the Guarantor shall make payment of such Obligation in the applicable place designated in this Agreement, and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
Until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Guarantor (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them) now have or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person, and the Guarantor waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them) to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent (or any of them).
This Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or otherwise revoked until the Obligations shall have been fully paid (in cash) and discharged and this Agreement and all financing arrangements between any Borrower, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement shall have been terminated; provided that if the Guarantor is merged or consolidated with another Company pursuant to Section 6.2.3 or if the capital stock of the Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (as in effect on the Closing Date), the Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall have any right under applicable law to terminate or revoke this Guarantee, the Guarantor agrees that such termination or revocation shall not be effective until a written notice of such revocation or termination, specifically referring hereto, signed by the Guarantor, is actually received by the Global Administrative Agent.  Such notice shall not affect the right and power of any of the Lenders or the Global Administrative Agent to enforce rights arising prior to receipt thereof by the Global Administrative Agent.  If any Lender grants loans or takes other action after the Guarantor terminates or revokes this Guarantee but before the Global Administrative Agent receives such written notice, the rights of such Lender with respect thereto shall be the same as if such termination or revocation had not occurred.  The provisions of this Article XII shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, until the Obligations shall have been fully paid (in cash) and discharged.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII to the contrary, (i) the obligations of the Guarantor under this Article XII shall be solely in respect of the Loans made to, and any other Obligations of, HDFS and (ii) the Guarantor shall not have any obligations under this Article XII in respect of the Loans made to, or any other Obligations of, Harley.
ARTICLE XIII      BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1      Successors and Assigns.  The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Companies, the Lenders and the Global Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Companies shall not have the right to assign their rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 hereof.  Notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 13.1, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of any Borrower or the Global Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority with authority over such Lender; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.  The Global Administrative Agent may treat any Lender as the owner 

65

of the Loans for all purposes hereof unless and until such Lender complies with Section 13.3 hereof in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Global Administrative Agent.  Any such assignee or transferee agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Loan, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Loan.
13.2      Participations.
(A)      Permitted Participants; Effect.  Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 13.2, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) which is not an Ineligible Institution participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender or any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of all Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by any Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and such Borrower and the Global Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents except that, for purposes of Article III hereof, the Participants shall be entitled to the same rights as if they were Lenders; provided however that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article III than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated.  
(B)      Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which involves an amendment, modification or waiver with respect to a matter which, if such Participant were a Lender hereunder, would require the consent of such Lender under clauses (i) through (viii) of  Section 8.3 hereof.
(C)      Benefit of Setoff.  The Companies agree that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof in respect to its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents; provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant except to the extent such Participant exercises its right of set off.  The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 hereof, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
(D)      Participant Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in any Loan, Commitment or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Loan, Commitment or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury 

66

Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version).  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 Global Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Global Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
13.3      Assignments.
(A)      Permitted Assignments.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) which is not an Ineligible Institution all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment and all Loans owing to it) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.3.  Each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, ratable percentage of all of the rights and obligations of any assigning Lender under this Agreement.  Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall not be permitted hereunder unless such assignment is either for all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents or, except for assignments to another Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund, involves loans and commitments in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000.  Notice to the Global Administrative Agent shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective and the consent of the Global Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required prior to any assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender and the consent of Harley (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Harley shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignment or purported assignment to an Ineligible Institution) unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Global Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof from the Global Administrative Agent) shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless (A) a Default under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(e) shall have occurred and be continuing at such time or (B) the Purchaser is a Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund; provided that, notwithstanding the preceding clause (B), (1) the Purchaser with respect to any assignment that does not require Harley’s consent under the preceding clause (B) shall nevertheless provide written notice to Harley thereof prior to, or promptly after, such assignment and (2) the consent of Harley shall be required prior to any assignment resulting in the applicable Purchaser, collectively with its Affiliates and affiliated Approved Funds, holding Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 15% of the Aggregate Commitment at such time (or, if the Commitments shall have been terminated, such Purchaser, collectively with its Affiliates and affiliated Approved Funds, would hold Loans aggregating to more than 15% in principal amount of all outstanding Loans at such time).  It is understood and agreed that it shall be reasonable for Harley to consider a proposed Purchaser’s right to require reimbursement for incremental increased costs pursuant to Article III when determining whether to consent to any applicable assignment.
(B)      Effect; Effective Date.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (C) below, upon (i) delivery to the Global Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Appendix I to Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Assignment”), together with any consents required by Section 13.3(A) hereof, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Global Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment.  The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA.  On and after the 

67

effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser, if not already a Lender, shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no consent or action by any of the Borrowers or the Lenders and no further consent or action by the Global Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser.  Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3(B), the transferor Lender, the Global Administrative Agent and Harley shall, if requested by such transferor Lender or Purchaser, make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser.
(C)      The Register.  The Global Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.1 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to this Section 13.3 and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an assignment under this Section 13.3.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(D)      Disqualified Institutions.
(i)    No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Harley has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Purchaser or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such Purchaser or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant and (y) the execution by Harley of an assignment agreement with respect to such Purchaser will not by itself result in such Purchaser no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (D)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (D) shall apply.
(ii)    If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Harley’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, Harley may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Global Administrative Agent, require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13.3), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

68

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (i) above (A) will not have the right to (x) receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by Harley, the Global Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders (or any of them) and the Global Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Global Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.
(iv)    The Global Administrative Agent shall have the right, and Harley hereby expressly authorizes the Global Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by Harley and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System, including that portion of such platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.  The DQ List shall be subject to the requirements of Section 13.4.
(v)    The Global Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Global Administrative Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified ‎Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, by any other Person to any ‎Disqualified Institution.
(E)      EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.3, or elsewhere in this Agreement, the consent of Harley shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for an assignment to an assignee that is an EEA Financial Institution unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such assignment.
13.4      Confidentiality.  (i)  Subject to Section 13.5, the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall hold confidential (A) all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement and (B) except as otherwise permitted by Harley, all information related to the Licensed Marks (as defined in Section 13.6)) and all other information which a reasonable person would deem to be confidential and/or proprietary in light of the nature of the information and the manner in which it was disclosed; provided that the Global Administrative Agent and the Lenders may each make disclosure (1) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential and the Global Administrative Agent and each Lender, as applicable, shall be responsible for breach by its respective affiliated Persons to which the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender made such disclosure), (2) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (a) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective 

69

assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that the DQ List may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant, in reliance on and subject to the terms of this clause (6)) or (b) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (7) with the prior written consent of Harley, (8) to the extent such information (a) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (b) becomes available to the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Companies, (9) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any such information relating to the Companies received by it from the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender or (10) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans.  In no event shall the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Harley, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries; provided, however, each prospective Transferee shall be required to agree that if it does not become a participant or assignee it shall return all materials furnished to it by or on behalf of Harley or any Company in connection with this Agreement.
(ii)(A) To the extent that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Title V/Privacy (collectively with the related implementing regulations, the “GLBA”), shall be applicable to the transactions contemplated herein, each of the parties hereto agrees that (1) it shall use all non-public personal information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement solely for the purposes for which the information is disclosed or as otherwise permitted in conformance with the requirements of the GLBA and (2) it shall maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent as described in Section 13.4(i).  This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(B)    In the event that the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably believes that any physical and/or electronic safeguards have been breached, and that non-public personal information has been obtained by persons and/or entities without authority to use or view such non-public personal information, the Global Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will notify HDFS and Harley, in writing, as soon as reasonably practicable.  The Global Administrative Agent and each Lender shall also maintain commercially reasonable processes and procedures for the storage, retention, and disposal of documents and storage media containing nonpublic personal information.  Nothing in this clause shall be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any consumer or other holder of nonpublic personal information.  This clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(iii)Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that any breach of the aforesaid confidentiality obligations in this Section 13.4 is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to HDFS and Harley.  Therefore, HDFS and Harley shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests, including but not limited to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Nothing stated herein will be construed to limit any other remedies available to the parties hereto. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
13.5      Dissemination of Information.  Each of the Companies authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Companies and their Subsidiaries; provided that prior to any such disclosure, such prospective Transferee shall agree in writing to preserve in accordance with Section 13.4 the confidentiality of any non-public information described therein.

70

13.6      Non-Use of HDFS’ Licensed Marks.  (i) HDFS, Harley and their affiliates have the right pursuant to licenses or otherwise to use certain trademark(s), logo(s), etc. relating to Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, HDFS and their affiliates (the “Licensed Marks”).  Except as permitted by the following sentences, none of the Global Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates are authorized to use such Licensed Marks or Harley’s or HDFS’s (i) text name and logo(s) (together) and/or (ii) logo(s) on forms, in legal documents, in advertising, marketing materials, in press releases or any other document or material.  In the event the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates wish to use said Licensed Marks, such Person must obtain HDFS’s and Harley’s prior written approval, which said approval is at HDFS’s and Harley’s sole and absolute discretion and subject to subsequent periodic review of such use and to such reasonable specifications of HDFS and Harley to the extent such specifications are directly related to the legal maintenance, whether such is before or after lapse or termination of this Agreement.  The Harley-Davidson and/or HDFS (i) text name, logo(s) and registered trademark(s) (together) and/or (ii) logo(s) and/or (iii) registered trademark(s) are not to be used by the Global Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates in any way before, during or after the term of this Agreement, unless prior written consent is obtained from HDFS and Harley.  This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(ii)    Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that any breach of the aforestated non-use obligations in this Section 13.6 is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to HDFS and Harley.  Therefore, in the event of any such breach, HDFS and Harley shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests, including but not limited to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages.  Nothing stated in this Section 13.6 shall be construed to limit any other remedies available to any party hereto.
ARTICLE XIV      NOTICES
14.1      Giving Notice.  (a) Except as otherwise permitted by Article II with respect to Borrowing Notices and Section 6.1.9, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties (provided that any notification of the DQ List to the Global Administrative Agent shall be made via email to the following address: JPMDQ_Contact@jpmorgan.com).  Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the case of telexes); or, if by courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight carrier service; with all charges paid.  
(b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Global Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Global Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Global Administrative Agent or the Companies may, in their respective discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless the Global Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in 

71

the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.
(c)    Electronic Systems.
(i)    Each Borrower agrees that the Global Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.
(ii)    Any Electronic System used by the Global Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, 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 any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System.  In no event shall the Global Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, and each of such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (collectively, the “Agent Parties”), have any liability to any Company, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Company’s or the Global Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System, except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Global Administrative Agent or the Agent Parties.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Company pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Global Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.
(iii)    For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 14.1(c) shall affect any obligations arising under Section 13.4.
(d)    Reports Due on Non-Business Days.  If any document, statement, notice or report hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date of required delivery shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
14.2      Change of Address.  Any of the Companies, the Global Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any Lender, by notice in writing to Harley and the Global Administrative Agent).
ARTICLE XV      COUNTERPARTS
15.1      Counterparts; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.  Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Global Administrative Agent and 

72

when the Global Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of 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.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, 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, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
