			(a)         Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that, in each case, the failure of any Lender to make its Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).  Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
		

		
			(b)         Each Lender shall make the proceeds of the Loans to be funded by it available to the Administrative Agent who shall either (i) credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such proceeds or (ii) transfer by wire transfer such proceeds, in each case, in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
		

		
			(c)          To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., in the case of (x) the Initial Loans, at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the proposed Borrowing (the date of such Borrowing, the “Funding Date”) and (y) any other Loans, at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may agree) prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with this Section 2.02:
		

		
			(i)             that the requested Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Initial Loans, Delayed Draw Loans or Additional Loans;
		

		
			(ii)            the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
		

		
			(iii)           the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
		

		
			(iv)           the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and
		

		
			(v)            that the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (solely in the case of the Initial Loans) and Sections 4.02(b) through (e) have been satisfied as of the date of the notice;
		

		
			provided that a Borrowing Request may state that such request is conditioned upon the effectiveness of certain events, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of such Borrowing) if such conditions are not satisfied.
		

		
			(d)         There shall be no more than ten (10) Tranches of Loans outstanding hereunder at any time.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			45

		

 

		

		
			2.03.      Repayment of the Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date, for the ratable account of the Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date together with all accrued interest thereon.  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of each such payment.
		

		
			2.04.      Voluntary Prepayments.
		

		
			The Borrower may, upon notice (which notice may be in the form attached as Exhibit H-2 hereto or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer) to the Administrative Agent (a “Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay the Loans in whole or in part (a “Voluntary Prepayment”) in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being prepaid, (y) the applicable Prepayment Amount, if any, for such Loans and (z) all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04;  provided that, except with respect to any prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.09(a),  (i) such Voluntary Prepayment Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment and (ii) any prepayment shall be either (A) in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 and a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (B) the entire principal amount of the Loans then outstanding.  Each such Voluntary Prepayment Notice shall specify the date of such prepayment, the amount of principal being prepaid and the applicable Prepayment Amount, if any, determined with respect to the applicable Loans as set forth in the definition thereof, including any definition thereof set forth in any Incremental Agreement relating to Additional Loans, if any. The Borrower shall make such prepayment, together with all accrued interest thereon and the related Prepayment Amount, if any, and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04 on the date specified in such Voluntary Prepayment Notice, and all such amounts shall be due and payable on such date; provided that a Voluntary Prepayment Notice delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of certain events, including, without limitation, the closing of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such conditions are not satisfied.  Any Voluntary Prepayment described in this Section 2.04 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of each such payment.
		

		
			2.05.      Mandatory Prepayments.
		

		
			(a)         On the first Business Day following the delivery of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice from the Calculation Agent stating that a Mandatory Prepayment Event has occurred (which need not be continuing) (provided that, subject to the last sentence of Section 2.05(b), if the Calculation Agent fails to deliver such Mandatory Prepayment Notice by 6:00 p.m. on the date the relevant Mandatory Prepayment Event occurs, any Lender may deliver or cause to be delivered the Mandatory Prepayment Notice in respect of such Mandatory Prepayment Event to the Borrower (with a copy thereof to each other Lender and Agent) with the same effect as if such Mandatory Prepayment Notice was delivered by the Calculation Agent; provided,  further, that any failure to so deliver a copy of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice to any Lender or Agent shall not
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			46

		

 

		

		
			invalidate the effectiveness of such Mandatory Prepayment Notice) the Borrower shall prepay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon and shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04 and any applicable Prepayment Amount, and all other Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made).
		

		
			(b)         For purposes of the delivery and receipt of any Mandatory Prepayment Notice (including under Section 10.02), (i) Borrower consents to the delivery of such Mandatory Prepayment Notice by electronic communications and (ii) Borrower’s “normal business hours” shall be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., each Business Day.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that a Mandatory Prepayment Event occurs following any Potential Adjustment Event, Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, then the Calculation Agent and the Lenders agree not to send a Mandatory Prepayment Notice until such time as Calculation Agent has made its (or, subject to the terms and conditions of the proviso to this sentence, the Required Lenders have made their) determination as to the appropriate adjustments, if any, to be made to (i) the Minimum Price, (ii) the Maximum Share Number, (iii) the LTV Margin Call Level and/or (iv) the LTV Reset Level, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.02(d);  provided that, if the Calculation Agent fails to make its determination with respect to such adjustments by 6:00 p.m. on the date the relevant Mandatory Prepayment Event occurs, the Required Lenders (provided that the outstanding Loans held by, and unused Commitments of, the Calculation Agent and its Affiliates shall be excluded for purposes of making such determination of Required Lenders) may make such adjustments, if any, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.02(d), with the same effect as if they were made by the Calculation Agent.
		

		
			(c)          Any prepayment described in this Section 2.05 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of each such payment.
		

		
			2.06.      Interest and Fees.
		

		
			(a)         Ordinary Interest.
		

		
			(i)             The Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period from the first day of such period to the last day thereof at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Floating Rate for such Interest Period.  Subject to Section 2.06(a)(ii), accrued interest shall be payable by the Borrower in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for the Loans upon determination of such interest rate.
		

		
			(ii)            At the Borrower’s election, interest may be payable entirely as PIK Interest.   If the Borrower has delivered a PIK Interest Election Notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.06(a)(ii), on the applicable Interest Payment Date, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be added to the principal amount of the Loans and shall, thereafter, be deemed an extension of additional Loans pursuant to the terms of, and subject to, the Loan Documents.  PIK Interest shall be allocated ratably to the principal amounts of the Loans of each Lender in accordance with the Ratable Share of the Loans of such
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			47

		

 

		

		
			Lender.  Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of Loans refers to the original face amount of the Loans plus any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Loans as a result of payments of PIK Interest.  The entire unpaid balance of all PIK Interest shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Maturity Date.  Unless Borrower delivers a PIK Interest Election Notice to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date, Borrower will be deemed to have elected for each Interest Period, to make interest payments in cash as set forth in Section 2.06(a)(i).
		

		
			(b)         (i) If any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Floating Rate applicable to such amount and (y) 2.0% for each day until such amount and any interest thereon is paid in full.
		

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

		
			(c)          Except as expressly provided herein, interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
		

		
			(d)         Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.50% (50 basis points) per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of each Lender during the period from and including the date hereof (or, in the case of any Additional Loan Commitment, from and including the effective date of such Additional Loan Commitment) to but excluding the date on which the Availability Period with respect to such Commitment expires or terminates.  Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on the date on the Availability Period with respect to such Commitment expires or terminates.  Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (including on the first day but excluding the last day). The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment.
		

		
			(e)          Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay an upfront fee (the “Upfront Fee”) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Initial Loan Lender and each Delayed Draw Lender in an amount equal to 0.25% of such Lender’s aggregate Commitments in effect on the Closing Date prior to any funding on such date. The Upfront Fee is due and payable in full on the Closing Date, and shall be fully earned when paid and be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment.  The Upfront Fee may be paid as an original issue discount and netted from the proceeds of the Initial Loans.
		

		
			(f)          Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts set forth therein.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			48

		

 

		

		
			2.07.      Computations.  All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year); provided that all computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to LIBOR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on the Loans for the day on which the Loans are made, and shall not accrue on the Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that if the Loans are repaid on the same day on which it is made, the Loans shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Any Interest Period stated to end on a day numerically corresponding to a given day in a specified month thereafter shall, if there is no corresponding day, end on the last Business Day of such month.
		

		
			2.08.      Termination of Commitments.
		

		
			(a)         The Initial Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the funding of any Initial Loans hereunder and (ii) 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the Closing Date; provided, that such termination shall not occur if the failure to fund within the time period set forth in this clause (ii) results solely from the action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in violation of the terms of this Agreement  The Delayed Draw Commitments and any Additional Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the last Business Day of the applicable Availability Period (provided that, if the Initial Loan Commitments terminate pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, all Commitments shall automatically terminate at such time; provided, further, that such termination shall not occur if the failure to fund within the time period set forth in such clause (ii) results solely from the action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in violation of the terms of this Agreement). The Delayed Draw Commitments of each Lender shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of each Delayed Draw Loan made by such Lender, and the Additional Loan Commitments of each applicable Additional Lender shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of each Additional Loan made by such Additional Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the Commitments of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero upon the delivery of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice.
		

		
			(b)         The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate any unused Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce any unused Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Noon) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of termination or partial reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Any reduction of Commitments shall be applied (A) first, to the Commitments of each Lender ratably, according to the Commitments held by each Lender and (B) then ratably among each type of Commitment held by such Lender.  All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction.
		

		
			2.09.      LTV Maintenance; LTV Notice.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			49

		

 

		

		
			(a)         If, upon the close of business on any Scheduled Trading Day, the Calculation Agent determines that the LTV Ratio exceeds the LTV Margin Call Level (a “Collateral Shortfall”), the Calculation Agent shall deliver a Collateral Shortfall Notice to the Borrower;  provided that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.09(a), if the Calculation Agent has failed to deliver such Collateral Shortfall Notice by 6:00 p.m. on the date on which such Collateral Shortfall occurs, if any Lender determines that a Collateral Shortfall has occurred, such Lender may (subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.09(a)) deliver or cause to be delivered a Collateral Shortfall Notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof to each other Lender and Agent) with the same effect as if such Collateral Shortfall Notice had been delivered by the Calculation Agent; provided,  further, that any failure to so deliver a copy of a Collateral Shortfall Notice to any Lender or Agent shall not invalidate the effectiveness of such Collateral Shortfall Notice.  The Borrower shall:
		

		
			(i)             no later than 2:00 p.m. on the first Business Day following delivery of a Collateral Shortfall Notice from the Calculation Agent or a Lender (the Business Day of such delivery of such Collateral Shortfall Notice, a “Collateral Shortfall Notice Day”) inform the Calculation Agent (or such Lender, as applicable) that it intends to satisfy such Collateral Shortfall Notice;
		

		
			(ii)            no later than Noon on the second Business Day following a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, provide the Calculation Agent with SWIFT or Fedwire instructions for delivery of any funds to be used to prepay the Loans, if applicable, as contemplated in clause (iii) below; provided that it is understood and agreed that so long as the Borrower otherwise complies with clause (iii) below, any failure of the Borrower to timely provide the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender) with SWIFT or Fedwire instructions as required in this clause (ii) shall not result in a Default or Event of Default; and
		

		
			(iii)           no later than 4:00 p.m. on the second Business Day after a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, (A) voluntarily prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.04 and/or (B) cause Cash or Cash Equivalents, that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral upon such delivery, and/or additional Shares, that will constitute Eligible Pledged Shares upon such delivery, to be delivered to the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement, in each case, in an amount sufficient to reduce the LTV Ratio to be equal to or less than the LTV Reset Level, as of the date or payment and/or delivery, all as determined by the Calculation Agent.
		

		
			For purposes of delivery and receipt of any Collateral Shortfall Notice and Section 10.02 with respect to any such Collateral Shortfall Notice, (i) the Borrower consents to the delivery of such Collateral Shortfall Notice by electronic communications and (ii) the Borrower’s “normal business hours” shall be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. each Business Day.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the LTV Ratio exceeds the LTV Margin Call Level, as determined by the Calculation Agent, following a Potential Adjustment Event, a Spin-Off Event or an Issuer Merger Event, then the Calculation Agent and the Lenders agree not to send a Collateral Shortfall Notice until such time as the Calculation Agent has made its (or, subject to the terms and conditions of the proviso to this sentence, the Required Lenders have made their) determination as
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			50

		

 

		

		
			to the appropriate adjustments, if any, to be made to (i) the Minimum Price, (ii) the Maximum Share Number, (iii) the LTV Margin Call Level and/or (iv) the LTV Reset Level, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.02(d);  provided that, if the Calculation Agent fails to make its determination with respect to such adjustments by 6:00 p.m. on such Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, the Required Lenders (provided that the outstanding Loans held by, and unused Commitments of, the Calculation Agent and its Affiliates shall be excluded for purposes of making such determination of Required Lenders) may make such adjustments, if any, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 1.02(d) with the same effect as if they were made by the Calculation Agent.
		

		
			(b)         Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Borrower of the LTV Ratio, as determined in accordance with the definition of Market Reference Price within one (1) Exchange Day after Borrower’s date of such request. It is understood and agreed that any determination of the LTV Ratio made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 2.09 or otherwise will be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner (and, if made in accordance with such standard will be conclusive).
		

		
			(c)          If, following the announcement (whether by an Issuer or any relevant third party) of (i) a Spin-Off Event or (ii) a firm intention to engage in a transaction (whether or not subsequently amended) that, if completed, would reasonably be expected to lead to an Issuer Merger Event, the Calculation Agent reasonably determines, following non-binding consultation with the Borrower during the same consultation period described in the definition of “Valuation Percentage”, that the securities or any other property that would be distributed to the holders of shares constituting the Pledged Shares, in connection with such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, as the case may be, would not meet the criteria for a Valuation Percentage of 100% set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Valuation Percentage”, and in connection with the completion of such distribution, the Borrower would be required, pursuant to Section 2.09(a), to deliver any additional Cash or Cash Equivalents that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral and/or additional Shares that will constitute Eligible Pledged Shares (based on the applicable Valuation Percentage reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Collateral Value with respect to such Merger Shares or Spin-Off Shares, as the case may be, as set forth in the definition of Valuation Percentage and any other adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 1.02(d)), then the Calculation Agent shall determine the amount of Cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Shares that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral and/or Eligible Pledged Shares, as applicable, upon such delivery, to be delivered to the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement for the LTV Ratio not to exceed the LTV Margin Call Level as a result of such distribution (the “LTV Event Amount”).
		

		
			Within one (1) Business Day after the Calculation Agent determines the LTV Event Amount, which determination shall occur not more than eight (8) Business Days prior to the date on which such a distribution is scheduled to occur (or such shorter period of time if the scheduled distribution is less than eight (8) Business Days following the public announcement), the Calculation Agent shall deliver a notice to the Borrower setting forth the LTV Event Amount.  No later than 4:00 p.m. on the earlier to occur of the (i) third Business Day after delivery of such notice and (ii) the date of such distribution, the Borrower shall cause Cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Shares that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral and/or Eligible Pledged Shares, as applicable, upon such
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			51

		

 

		

		
			delivery, to be delivered to the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement, in an amount equal to the LTV Event Amount.  With effect from such delivery of the LTV Event Amount, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Collateral Value in its commercially reasonable sole discretion to give effect to the foregoing determinations, with such adjustment terminating upon the earliest to occur of (i) the determination of a Valuation Percentage with respect to such securities upon their distribution and (ii) the announcement by any Issuer or relevant third party of the withdrawal or abandonment of such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, as the case may be (it being understood that the withdrawal or abandonment of any such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, as the case may be, does not preclude the occurrence of another Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event).
		

		
			If, following the delivery of Eligible Cash Collateral and/or Eligible Pledged Shares in the requisite LTV Event Amount, any Issuer or relevant third party announces the withdrawal or abandonment of such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event, or the Calculation Agent determines following consummation of such Issuer Merger Event or Spin-Off Event that the Valuation Percentage is greater than initially determined for purposes of calculating the LTV Event Amount, then, upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall promptly originate an instruction or entitlement order to the Custodian directing the release and transfer of any applicable Collateral constituting the LTV Event Amount from the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender to the Borrower (or the Borrower’s designee) such that the LTV Ratio does not exceed the LTV Margin Call Level as calculated by the Calculation Agent to correspond to the revised Valuation Percentage (provided that the Borrower may elect to maintain in the Collateral Account all or any portion of such LTV Event Amount permitted to be so released). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Calculation Agent sending notice of an LTV Event Amount, the Calculation Agent shall make all other adjustments pursuant to Section 1.02(d) hereof and any LTV Event Amount shall be calculated based on such adjustments.
		

		
			(d)         The Borrower may not withdraw any Collateral from the Collateral Accounts, except (i) in accordance with clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of this Section 2.09, (ii) with the prior written consent of each Lender or (iii) in connection with a Disposition of Pledged Shares held in the Collateral Accounts as permitted under Section 7.04 and Section 7.07;  provided that, at the time of any such withdrawal, in the event the Collateral consists of Shares (other than Spin-Off Shares) and Spin-Off Shares, the Calculation Agent may, in an equitable manner as the Calculation Agent determines necessary to preserve for the Lenders and the Borrower the intent of the parties and the fair economic value and risks in the Loans before giving effect to the Spin-Off Event relating to such Spin-Off Shares, after non-binding consultation with the Borrower, determine the required ratio of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Shares of the relevant Issuer relating to such Spin-Off Event constituting Collateral to the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Spin-Off Shares relating to such Spin-Off Event constituting Collateral, in each case, after giving effect to such withdrawal, to be withdrawn; provided,  further, that, in the event such ratio results in the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Shares issued by a particular Issuer constituting 75.0% or more of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares remaining after giving effect to such withdrawal, then the Borrower may elect to include Shares issued by such Issuer in the Collateral in a percentage in excess of 75.0% of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares, and other Shares not issued by such
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			52

		

 

		

		
			Issuer shall be permitted to be released to the extent otherwise permitted under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this clause (d).
		

		
			(e)          Collateral shall be released from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents as follows:
		

		
			(i)             the Calculation Agent and each Applicable Lender shall have received a written notice from the Borrower requesting a release of such Collateral on the date specified therein (which date shall be no earlier than the Business Day immediately following the first Business Day on which the Calculation Agent and the Applicable Lenders have received such notice by 1:00 p.m.), including the amount and type of Collateral requested to be released;
		

		
			(ii)            after giving effect to such release and any other release otherwise requested or effected pursuant to this Section 2.09 and any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.04, the LTV Ratio would be equal to or less than the Initial LTV Level;
		

		
			(iii)           no Event of Default shall exist or would occur immediately after giving effect to such release; and
		

		
			(iv)           on the date of such release the Borrower is not required to make any prepayment and/or provide additional Collateral under Section 2.05 or Section 2.09(a) (and will not be required to take any such action as a result of the proposed release).
		

		
			Any such notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) shall contain a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the items set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii).  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.09(e), the Calculation Agent shall be permitted, without the consent of the Lenders (but the Calculation Agent shall give each Applicable Lender prompt notice thereof), and hereby agrees, on the date specified in such written notice of the Borrower (which date shall be no earlier than the Business Day immediately following the first Business Day on which the Calculation Agent and the Applicable Lenders have received such notice by 1:00 p.m.), to release such Collateral from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents and send written directions to the Custodian, as provided and in accordance with the Collateral Account Control Agreement, to transfer such Collateral to an account or accounts as directed by the Borrower in such written notice; provided however, upon receiving written notice from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(e)(i), if any Applicable Lender acting in a commercially reasonable manner disputes in good faith that the conditions set forth in Section 2.09(e) have been satisfied and subsequently notifies the Calculation Agent of such dispute prior to release, then absent manifest error on behalf of such Applicable Lender, the Calculation Agent shall not release such Lender’s Collateral from Liens under the Collateral Documents. Collateral of the type requested to be released by the Borrower shall be released from any Lien created under the Collateral Documents (A) on a ratable basis among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the amount and type of Collateral being released and (B) in an aggregate amount equal to the lowest of (I) the amount of Collateral requested to be released by the Borrower in such written notice, (II) an amount of Collateral with a value such that, after giving effect to such release and any other release otherwise requested or effected pursuant to this Section 2.09 and any Disposition pursuant to Section 7.04, the LTV Ratio would not be greater than the Initial LTV Level and (III) the aggregate amount of such type of  Collateral requested to be released by the Borrower held in the Collateral Accounts.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			53

		

 

		

		
			(f)          (i) Upon receipt by the Calculation Agent of written notice from the Borrower requesting the release and application of Eligible Cash Collateral for the purpose of either (1) making an interest payment on the Loans then due and payable or (2) repaying or prepaying any PIK Interest, the Calculation Agent shall be permitted, without the consent of the Lenders (but the Calculation Agent shall give each Applicable Lender prompt notice thereof), on the date specified in such notice (which date shall be no earlier than the Business Day immediately following the first Business Day on which the Calculation Agent has received such notice by 1:00 p.m.), to release such Eligible Cash Collateral from the Liens created under the Collateral Documents and cause the Administrative Agent to apply such released Eligible Cash Collateral as directed by the Borrower in such written notice.
		

		
			(ii) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.09(f), Eligible Cash Collateral shall be released from any Lien created under the Collateral Documents (A) among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable basis of the Eligible Cash Collateral being released and (B) in an aggregate amount equal to the lowest of (I) the amount of Collateral requested to be released by the Borrower in such written notice and (II) the aggregate amount Eligible Cash Collateral requested to be released by the Borrower held in the Collateral Accounts, and an amount equal to the amount of Eligible Cash Collateral released by each Applicable Lender shall be applied in accordance with the preceding clause (i) to the Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender and its Agented Lenders.
		

		
			(g)          In addition to transfers pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (c), the Borrower may transfer (i) Cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Shares that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral and Eligible Pledged Shares, as applicable, upon such transfer, and (ii) assets other than Cash, Cash Equivalents and Shares that each of the Lenders has consented to in writing to be included as Collateral (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), into the Collateral Accounts on any Business Day, and the Calculation Agent shall adjust the LTV Ratio accordingly which shall become effective one (1) Business Day after the posting of such additional Collateral, as applicable (except in the case of Section 2.09(a) or (c), which such adjustments shall be effective on the date of delivery of Eligible Cash Collateral and/or Eligible Pledged Shares); provided that, except in the case of Section 2.09(a) or (c),  the Calculation Agent shall only be required to make such adjustment with respect to a transfer by the Borrower having a Collateral Value of at least $1,000,000.
		

		
			(h)         If (i) any Constrictive Amendment referred to in clause (i)(ii) of the definition of “Potential Adjustment Event” is not approved in the applicable shareholder vote such that a Potential Adjustment Event shall be deemed not to have occurred and any adjustments made in connection therewith shall automatically cease to be effective (in each case, as provided in such clause (i)(ii)), then, upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall promptly originate an instruction or entitlement order to the Custodian directing the release and transfer of any applicable Collateral posted as a result of such Potential Adjustment Event from the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender to the Borrower (or the Borrower’s designee) such that the LTV Ratio does not exceed the LTV Margin Call Level as calculated by the Calculation Agent without giving effect to such adjustments or (ii) there occurs a Triggering of an Issuer Event with respect to any Issuer of Spin-Off Shares, and such Spin-Off Shares shall cease to constitute Eligible Pledged Shares at all times thereafter, then, so long as the LTV Ratio does not
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			54

		

 

		

		
			exceed the LTV Margin Call Level, upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall promptly originate an instruction or entitlement order to the Custodian directing the release and transfer of such Spin-Off Shares from the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender to the Borrower (or the Borrower’s designee).
		

		
			(i)           To the extent that the Borrower elects or is required to transfer or deposit Shares, Cash, Cash Equivalents or any other item of Collateral into any Collateral Accounts, the Borrower shall effect such transfer or deposit by transferring or depositing into each Applicable Lender’s Collateral Account, such Shares, Cash, Cash Equivalents or any other item of Collateral in accordance with their Ratable Shares of such item of Collateral.
		

		
			(j)          At the reasonable request of any Agent, the Custodian, any Applicable Lender or the Borrower, the parties hereto agree to execute and deliver such documents, agreements or instruments as are reasonably requested to evidence and/or give effect to the release of Liens described in this Section 2.09.
		

		
			2.10.      Evidence of Debt.
		

		
			(a)         Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and each Lender’s Ratable Share of the Loans from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s portion of any Loan) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the initial principal amount of each Loan, stated interest thereon, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount thereof, and any assignment thereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligations.
		

		
			(b)         Notes.  No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Loans by the Lenders to the Borrower. Upon the request of a Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which shall evidence such Lender’s Ratable Share of the applicable Loans in addition to the foregoing accounts or records.  A Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Ratable Share of such Loans and payments with respect thereto.
		

		
			2.11.      Payments Generally.
		

		
			(a)         All payments to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, except with respect to Taxes as provided in Section 3.01.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Agent Account in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			55

		

 

		

		
			(b)         Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Prepayment Amount and each other payment hereunder shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Ratable Shares of the Loans.  The Administrative Agent agrees to forward to the Lenders such principal, interest and other payments on the same Business Day as such amounts are received, collected or applied by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, unless the Administrative Agent receives such amounts after 11:00 a.m., in which case such payments may be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on the next Business Day.
		

		
			(c)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Loan, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Applicable Percentage of such Loan available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Applicable Percentage of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the Floating Rate.  If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loan to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.
		

		
			(d)         Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to such Lender to but excluding the date such Lender or the Borrower repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
		

		
			(e)          Except as expressly set forth herein, if any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or the date for the performance of any covenant shall
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			56

		

 

		

		
			come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment or performance, as applicable, shall be made on the next following Business Day, and, for payments, such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.
		

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

		
			(g)          If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
		

		
			(h)         The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
		

		
			2.12.      Sharing of Payments, Etc. Each Lender agrees that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on the Loans owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise (including pursuant to a Debtor Relief Law) in excess of its Ratable Share of the amounts owed to it hereunder, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders a participation in their portion of the Loans, in such amounts and with such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable in order that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable portion as provided for in this Agreement.  Each Lender further agrees that if a payment to a Lender (which is obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise) shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not apply to any exercise by an Applicable Lender of remedies against the Collateral controlled by such Applicable Lender or the assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments otherwise permitted hereunder.
		

		
			2.13.      Defaulting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			57

		

 

		

		
			(a)         Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or adjustment with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and in Section 8.01.
		

		
			(b)         Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Ratable Share and (y) such Loan were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
		

		
			(c)          Commitment Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.06(d) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
		

		
			(d)         Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Share of the Loans, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided,  further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			58

		

 

		

		
			parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
		

		
			2.14.      Rebalancing
		

		
			(a)           If, on any date, any Applicable Lender gives written notice to the Calculation Agent, or the Calculation Agent otherwise becomes aware, that any posting or release of Collateral did not occur on a Pro Rata Basis (other than in connection with any distribution of Collateral in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) or the Collateral is not held on a Pro Rata Basis for any other reason (other than, in any such circumstance, as a result of a Lender exercising remedies in accordance with the Loan Documents) (including with respect to the types of Collateral held by each Applicable Lender), then on, or as promptly as practicable following, such date, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Applicable Lenders of such circumstances and, on, or as promptly as practicable following the date of such notice, the Applicable Lenders shall cause any transfers of Collateral from the Collateral Accounts that they control to Collateral Accounts controlled by other Applicable Lenders as may be necessary, as determined by the Calculation Agent, to ensure that the Collateral is held on a Pro Rata Basis (including through Applicable Lenders, if applicable).  Each Lender agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Calculation Agent and the Custodian to effect such rebalancing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by submitting written instructions to the Custodian to effect such transfers.  The Borrower hereby consents to, and to the extent necessary will cooperate in good faith with, such transfers.
		

		
			(b)           Each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Calculation Agent to deliver a Collateral Reallocation Instruction to the Custodian, with a copy to the Borrower, (i) in order to instruct the Custodian to effect any rebalancing described in the preceding clause (a) and (ii) in connection with any Subsequent Loan Borrowing to the extent necessary to ensure that the Collateral is held on a Pro Rata Basis. Each Lender agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Calculation Agent and the Custodian to effect any such reallocation, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by submitting written instructions to the Custodian to effect such reallocation and any related transfers of Collateral.  The Borrower hereby consents to, and to the extent necessary will cooperate in good faith with, such transfers.
		

		
			2.15.      Additional Commitments and Loans.
		

		
			(a)           The Borrower may, at its option, from time to time following the Closing Date, by delivery of a written notice to the Administrative Agent, obtain Additional Loan Commitments (any loans made with respect to such Additional Loan Commitments being herein referred to as “Additional Loans”); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of Additional Loan Commitments obtained since the Closing Date shall not exceed $1,000,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall not be permitted to obtain Additional Loan Commitments on more than nine (9) occasions (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and (iii) there shall be no more than ten (10) Tranches of Loans and/or Commitments outstanding hereunder at any time. Each such notice (x) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested date on which such Additional Loan Commitments are to be effective (the “Additional Loans Closing Date”) and shall specify the amount of the Additional Loan Commitments to be obtained and the applicable Additional Loans Closing Date and (y) may not be delivered at any time that (1) there is an existing Event of Default or (2) a Mandatory Prepayment Notice has been delivered to the Borrower.  Additional Loan Commitments may be made and provided by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to provide Additional Loan Commitments, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Additional Loan
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			59

		

 

		

		
			Commitments) or by any Eligible Assignee; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have a consent right (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to the addition of any Eligible Assignee as an Additional Lender that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
		

		
			(b)           The terms and provisions of any Additional Loan Commitments shall be identical to the Delayed Draw Commitments (other than the Availability Period applicable thereto) and the terms and provisions of any Additional Loans made with respect thereto shall be identical to the Delayed Draw Loans; provided,  however, that (i) the Base Spread, Commitment Fees and any upfront fees of or relating to any such Additional Loans may be at the then-market rates and (ii) the Maturity Date for such Additional Loans may be the same as or later than (but shall be no earlier than) the Maturity Date for any then-existing Loans.
		

		
			(c)            The effectiveness of any Additional Loan Commitments on the applicable Additional Loans Closing Date and the occurrence of any extension of credit thereunder shall be subject only to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i) execution and delivery of an Incremental Agreement by the Borrower and each Person agreeing to provide such Additional Loan Commitment, as applicable, (ii) notice of such Incremental Agreement, together with a copy of the executed Incremental Agreement and a certificate from a Responsible Officer certifying that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 with respect to such Additional Commitments and Additional Loans have been satisfied shall have been delivered to the Agents, (iii) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and (iv) such other conditions as the Borrower and each Person agreeing to provide such Additional Loan Commitment, as applicable, shall agree in the applicable Incremental Agreement. In addition, in connection with the effectiveness of any Additional Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent customary supplemental opinions, corporate resolutions, certificates and other customary documents, in each case as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Additional Loans in accordance with Section 6.09.  In connection with any Additional Loan Commitments, the Borrower and each Additional Lender agrees to (i) unless the applicable Additional Lender  is an existing Applicable Lender and the establishment of a Collateral Account and the execution and delivery of joinders to the Security Agreement and the Collateral Account Control Agreement is not necessary due to such Additional Lender’s existing Collateral Account and Collateral Account Control Agreement, (x) establish a separate Collateral Account with the Custodian, (y) enter into a joinder to the Collateral Account Control Agreement with respect to such Collateral Account and a joinder to the Security Agreement, and (z) if reasonably requested by the Custodian, enter into a customer account agreement or other agreement with the Custodian and (ii) make appropriate amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect any administrative, technical or similar changes as are reasonably requested by the Applicable Lenders, the Additional Lenders or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to such Additional Lender a Form U-1 or Form G-3 Purpose Statement or, if applicable, an amendment to a Form U-1 or Form G-3 Purpose Statement previously delivered to such Additional Lender in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, duly executed by a Responsible Officer (in each case, unless such Additional Lender has confirmed that it does not require either such form).
		

		
			(d)           Any Additional Loan Commitments shall become effective and become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Agreement”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Person agreeing to provide such Additional Loan Commitments, as applicable (and, upon the effectiveness thereof, (i) any Person providing such Commitments that is not then a Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and (ii) any Person providing any Additional Loan Commitments shall become an Additional Lender
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			60

		

 

		

		
			for all purposes in connection with this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 to the contrary, each Incremental Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, including to reflect any new Lenders and their Commitments (it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required to establish Additional Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 or to effect such amendments).
		

		
			ARTICLE III
		

		
			TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
		

		
			3.01.      Taxes.
		

		
			(a)         Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
		

		
			(b)         Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
		

		
			(c)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
		

		
			(d)         Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01(d)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.   The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(e) below, net of any amounts the Administrative Agent has received as a set off against such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(e) below; provided that if the Borrower is required to directly
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			61

		

 

		

		
			indemnify the Administrative Agent pursuant to this sentence, the Administrative Agent shall take all steps reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to ensure that the Borrower is subrogated to the Administrative Agent’s right to collect from the applicable Lender.
		

		
			(e)          Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify (i) the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).
		

		
			(f)          Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
		

		
			(g)          Status of Lenders.
		

		
			(i)             Any Lender or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender or Agent, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(g)(ii)(A),  (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Agent’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Agent.

			(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
		

		
			(A)         any Lender or Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender or Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
		

		
			(B)         any Foreign Lender or Agent that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or such Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
		

		
			(I)            in the case of a Foreign Lender or Agent claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
		

		
			(II)          executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
		

		
			(III)         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
		

		
			(IV)         to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			63

		

 

		

		
			more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
		

		
			(C)         any Foreign Lender and any Agent which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Agent becomes a Lender or Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
		

		
			(D)         if a payment made to a Lender or Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent 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 or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
		

		
			Each Lender and Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
		

		
			(h)         Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			64

		

 

		

		
			to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
		

		
			(i)           Tax Documentation by the Borrower.  To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws, when reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and promptly upon the obsolescence, invalidity or expiration of any form previously provided by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation or certification prescribed by applicable Laws and such other reasonably requested information, certification or documentation as will permit the Administrative Agent to determine that a sale of the Collateral would not be subject to any withholding with respect to Taxes.
		

		
			(j)          Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
		

		
			3.02.      Illegality.  If a Lender determines (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund any Loan, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR component of the Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of a Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue its portion of the Loans as Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, either (i) convert such Lender’s portion of the Loans to a Base Rate Loan, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loans as Floating Rate Loans to such day or, immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loans or (ii) prepay such Lender’s portion of the Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its portion of the Loans as Floating Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			65

		

 

		

		
			3.03.      Increased Costs; Reserves.
		

		
			(a)         Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
		

		
			(i)             impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “eurocurrency liabilities”)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender;
		

		
			(ii)            subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
		

		
			(iii)           impose on a Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the portion of the Loans made by such Lender;
		

		
			and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Agent of making, continuing or maintaining its portion of the Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make its portion of the Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
		

		
			(b)         Capital Requirements.  If a Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or its holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or such Lender’s portion of the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved on such Lender's portion of the Loans but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.
		

		
			(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of an Agent or Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Agent or Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.03 and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
		

		
			(d)         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of an Agent or Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Agent or Lender pursuant to the
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			66

		

 

		

		
			foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
		

		
			3.04.      Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of a Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
		

		
			(a)         any payment or prepayment of the Loans on a day other than an Interest Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
		

		
			(b)         any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make available on any date specified herein its portion of the Loans) to prepay or borrow the Loans on any date or in the amount specified herein;
		

		
			including any loss of anticipated profits (other than Base Spread) and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its portion of the Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
		

		
			Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Floating Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.
		

		
			3.05.      Mitigation Obligations.
		

		
			(a)         If a Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender, an Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 3.01, or if a Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, at the request of the Borrower, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loans, or its portion thereof, hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates and to take any other actions reasonable in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender or Agent, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.03, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Agent.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			67

		

 

		

		
			reasonable costs and expenses incurred by a Lender or Agent in connection with any such designation, assignment or action.
		

		
			(b)          If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.05(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or declines to approve an amendment, waiver or consent that is approved by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.01) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
		

		
			(i)             the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(e);
		

		
			(ii)            such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
		

		
			(iii)           in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
		

		
			(iv)           such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and
		

		
			(v)            in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender declining to approve an amendment, waiver or consent that is approved by the Required Lenders, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
		

		
			A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

			ARTICLE V
		

		
			REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
		

		
			The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Agents that as of the Closing Date and as of the date of any Borrowing hereunder (provided such representation and warranty contained in Section 5.20 shall not be made as of the Funding Date to the extent the Funding Date occurs after the Closing Date, or as of the date of any Subsequent Loan Borrowing):
		

		
			5.01.      Existence, Qualification and Power.  The Borrower (a) is duly organized or formed and validly existing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (i) own or lease its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents (to the extent a party thereto), and (c) is duly qualified and is licensed and in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its respective business requires such qualification or license, except to the extent the failure to so qualify has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			5.02.      Authorization; No Contravention.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each Loan Document to which it is party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of its respective Organization Documents; (b) result in any breach, or default under, any Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or by which it is bound or affecting the Pledged Shares, including under the Stockholders Agreement; (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Transfer Restriction or Lien on the Collateral (other than the Permissible Transfer Restrictions) under, or require any payment to be made under, any Contractual Obligation, including under the Stockholders Agreement; (d) violate any written corporate policy of any Issuer applicable to the Borrower or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, affecting the Borrower; (e) violate any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which the Borrower is subject; or (f) violate any Law, except, in the case of clauses (b), (d), (e), and (f), where any such breach or violation, either individually or in the aggregate, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			5.03.      Binding Effect.  This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by the Borrower.

			8.02.      Remedies upon Event of Default.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing:
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			86

		

 

		

		
			(a)         the Administrative Agent may and, upon request from the Required Lenders, shall, and each Lender may individually (as to its own Loans and Commitments) (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments of the Lenders (or if a Lender is taking such action individually, the Commitment of such Lender, as applicable) and (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of the Loans (or if a Lender is taking such action individually, the Loans owing to such Lender, as applicable), all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, any Prepayment Amount and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to all Lenders or (if a Lender is taking such action individually, to such Lender, as applicable), to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and
		

		
			(b)         each Applicable Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents (including the enforcement of any and all Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents) and applicable Law;
		

		
			provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(d) or 8.01(e), the Commitments of all Lenders shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of the Loans, any Prepayment Amount and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of any Lender or Agent. If any Lender elects to take any of the foregoing actions individually (without the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of such Lender), such Lender shall notify the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent of such election and action prior to or substantially concurrently with the taking of such action.
		

		
			8.03.      Application of Funds. (a) After the exercise of any remedies as provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations after giving effect to clause (b) below, subject to the provisions of Section 2.13, shall be applied:
		

		
			First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and amounts payable under Sections 3.01,  3.03 and 3.04) payable to each Agent in its capacity as such; and
		

		
			Second, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations in respect of which no claim has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
		

		
			(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with the exercise of remedies, all proceeds received by any Applicable Lender with respect to any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement, shall be applied by such Applicable Lender against the Obligations as provided in Section 6(g) of the Security Agreement.
		

		
			8.04.      Certain Provisions Related to Applicable Lenders.

			87

		

 

		

		
			exercising such remedies, in its sole discretion with respect to its Applicable Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Account Control Agreement).  No Applicable Lender shall have any fiduciary or other express or implied duties to the other Lenders in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to its Applicable Collateral or otherwise and no Lender shall interfere with such exercise of remedies, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by each Applicable Lender in its capacity as collateral agent for the benefit of itself, each of its Agented Lenders and each of the Agents (solely, in the case of each Agent, to the extent of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Obligations owing to such Agent in its capacity as an Agent and not as a Lender, Applicable Lender, Agented Lender or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof. No Lender shall claim (or support any claim by any third party) that a sale or other disposition of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Collateral by such Applicable Lender was not commercially reasonable.  Each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of its Applicable Collateral in its possession if such Applicable Collateral is accorded treatment reasonably equal to that which such Applicable Lender accords its own property.
		

		
			(b)           In connection with any assignment by a Lender, the Borrower agrees to (i) (x) unless the applicable assignee elects to be an Agented Lender with respect to such assigned interest or is an existing Applicable Lender and the establishment of a Collateral Account and the execution and delivery of joinders to the Collateral Account Control Agreement is not necessary due to such Applicable Lender’s  existing Collateral Account and Collateral Account Control Agreement or (y) otherwise, (I) establish a separate Collateral Account with the Custodian, (II) enter into a joinder to the Collateral Account Control Agreement with respect to such Collateral Account and a joinder to the Security Agreement, and (III) if reasonably requested by the Custodian, enter into a customer account agreement or other agreement with the Custodian and (ii) make appropriate amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect any administrative, technical or similar changes as are reasonably requested by the Applicable Lenders, the assignee or the Administrative Agent.
		

		
			(c)            Upon any Applicable Lender’s sale or other disposition of its Applicable Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Agreement, the security interest of each other Person in such Collateral shall automatically terminate.  Each Agent and Lender will execute, deliver and file such documents (including UCC-3 financing statements), if any, reasonably requested by an Applicable Lender to evidence such Lender’s release of its security interest in the Collateral pledged to the foreclosing Applicable Lender that has been sold or otherwise disposed of.
		

		
			(d)           Each Lender agrees that it will not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or questioning in any proceeding the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien of any Applicable Lender under any Collateral Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties with respect to the Collateral established by the other provisions of this Agreement.

			AGENTS
		

		
			9.01.      Authorization and Authority.
		

		
			(a)         Each Lender and each other Agent hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Calculation Agent and Bank of America, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent, in each case hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and any other Agent and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
		

		
			(b)         Each of the Agents hereby irrevocably appoints each Applicable Lender and each of the Agented Lenders of an Applicable Lender hereby irrevocably appoints each such Applicable Lender, in each case, as its collateral agent for the benefit of itself, each such Agented Lender and the Agents to act on its behalf for purposes of the Collateral Account Control Agreement to which it is a party, Section 8.03 and the Security Agreement and authorizes each Applicable Lender to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are contemplated by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Applicable Lender shall act solely as an agent of each of its Agented Lenders and each of the Agents (solely, in the case of each Agent, to the extent of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Obligations owing to such Agent in its capacity as an Agent and not as a Lender, Applicable Lender, Agented Lender or otherwise) and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any other obligation towards or fiduciary relationship or trust with or for the Borrower, any other Lender or any Agent.
		

		
			(c)          The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, except as the same relate to the performance or observance of any of the provisions set forth in Section 9.06 and Section 9.08, which are also for the benefit of, and are binding upon, the Borrower.
		

		
			9.02.      Agent Individually.
		

		
			(a)         Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder that is also a Lender shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not such Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			89

		

 

		

		
			any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
		

		
			(b)         Each Lender understands that each Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Borrower or its Affiliates.  Furthermore, an Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Borrower and its Affiliates.  Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent’s Group.  No Agent nor any member of such Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.
		

		
			(c)          Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder).  Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of an Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender.  None of (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of such Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Borrower or its Affiliates) or for its own account.

			9.03.      Duties of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.
		

		
			(a)         An Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein) (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting); provided that an Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay (if any) under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
		

		
			(b)         No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01 or Section 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.
		

		
			(c)          No Agent nor any member of an Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms, conditions or provisions set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans, or as to the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or thereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.

			91

		

 

		

		
			of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related Parties.
		

		
			(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as such Agent hereunder or thereunder.
		

		
			9.04.      Reliance by Agent.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any telephonic or electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of an Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender (in accordance with Section 10.02) prior to the making of the Loans.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
		

		
			9.05.      Delegation of Duties.  An Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more agents or sub agents appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such agent or sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties; provided that in each case that no such delegation to an agent, sub agent or a Related Party shall release an Agent from any of its obligations hereunder.  Each such agent or sub agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such agent or sub agent shall be entitled to the exculpatory  benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 (as though such Persons were an “Agent” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  An Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or sub agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or sub agent.
		

		
			9.06.      Resignation of an Agent.  An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor in consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank (x) with an office in New York, New York and (y) a combined capital surplus of $1,000,000,000.  If a Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, or, subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, the Calculation Agent has failed to deliver a Collateral Shortfall Notice, the Required Lenders may, to the extent
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			92

		

 

		

		
			permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower (except when an Event of Default exists), appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor be a Defaulting Lender. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation, which effective date shall be no earlier than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice, or the date on which the Required Lenders remove an Agent as set forth above, and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender, and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent of the retiring, retired or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring, retired or removed  Agent) and the retiring, retired or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring, retired or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring, retired or removed Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as an Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) if at any time any Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder, such Agent shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation, which notice shall be automatically effective as of the date such Agent ceased to be a Lender hereunder, (b) if at any time the Person serving as the Administrative Agent ceases to be the Administrative Agent hereunder, such Person shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation as Calculation Agent, which notice shall be automatically effective as of the date such Person ceased to be the Administrative Agent hereunder, and (c) if at any time the Person serving as the Calculation Agent ceases to be the Calculation Agent hereunder, such Person shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation as Administrative Agent, which notice shall be automatically effective as of the date such Person ceased to be the Calculation Agent hereunder.

			(i)             the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower;
		

		
			(ii)            the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;
		

		
			(iii)           determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and
		

		
			(iv)          the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information delivered by the Agents, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

			9.08.      Lenders’ Rights with Respect to Collateral.
		

		
			(a)         Each Lender (other than an Agented Lender), upon becoming a Lender hereunder, shall establish a Collateral Account with the Custodian.  The Borrower (or in the case of any Lender taking pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, the applicable assignor) shall instruct the Custodian to transfer to such Collateral Account (or, in the case of an Agented Lender, to the relevant Applicable Lender’s Collateral Account) such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Collateral (including, ratably, the Pledged Shares and any other Collateral and, if applicable, any proceeds in respect of the Eligible Assignee’s Ratable Share of the Collateral); provided that, in the case of an Agented Lender, if the relevant Applicable Lender is the assignor, such Agented Lender and Applicable Lender may agree to retain such Collateral in the existing Collateral Accounts or to transfer such Collateral to a new Collateral Account over which such Applicable Lender has, or purports to have, control.
		

		
			(b)         Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Applicable Lender shall have the right individually to require the Custodian to realize upon any of its Applicable Collateral and to apply the proceeds thereof to the repayment of such Applicable Lender’s (and, ratably, its Agented Lenders’, if applicable) portion of the Loans and other Obligations as provided in Section 6(g) of the Security Agreement and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by such Applicable Lender on its Applicable Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), such Applicable Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Applicable Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, subject to Section 6(b) of the Security Agreement.
		

		
			(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Lender shall (and, if such Lender is an Agented Lender, such Agented Lender shall instruct its Applicable Lender to) (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any other Lender) take such actions as shall be necessary and proper or reasonably requested by the Borrower to effect a release of such Lender’s security interest in any Collateral, (i) subject to, and in accordance with, Section 7(n) of the Security Agreement, when all Obligations of such Lender (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments of such Lender have terminated or expired or (ii) when such Collateral is expressly permitted to be released pursuant to Section 2.09.
		

		
			(d)         Each Agent hereby further authorizes each Applicable Lender and each of the Agented Lenders of an Applicable Lender hereby further authorizes each such Applicable Lender, in each case, to enter into the Loan Documents as secured party on behalf of and for the benefit of itself, each of its Agented Lenders and each of the Agents (solely, in the case of each Agent, to the extent of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Obligations owing to such Agent in its capacity as an Agent and not as a Lender, Applicable Lender, Agented Lender or otherwise) and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.10, the Lenders and the Agents irrevocably authorize each Applicable Lender (as to its Applicable Collateral) and each Lender and each Agent irrevocably authorizes the

			9.09.      Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.
		

		
			9.10.      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
		

		
			(a)         to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid to the Agents or the Lenders under the Loan Documents and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
		

		
			(b)         to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
		

		
			and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			96

		

 

		

		
			of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
		

		
			Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations owed by the Borrower hereunder or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding

No failure by an Agent or a Lender to exercise, and no delay by an Agent or a Lender in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, each Agent and each of their Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (which, in the case of legal expenses, shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all Indemnitees and the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single special counsel for all Indemnitees in each relevant specialty (in each case except allocated costs of in-house counsel) for any of the foregoing); provided that solely in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected Indemnitee, such expenses may include the fees, charges and disbursements of one additional counsel for the affected Indemnitees as a whole) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the Loans or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, brought by any Person (including the Borrower and its Affiliates), and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available for (A) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (I) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (II) a material breach under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Indemnitee or disputes between and among Indemnitees (other than disputes against the Administrative Agent or any other Agent in such capacity or which involves an act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates) and (B) any settlement entered into by such person without the Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) any increased costs, compensation or net payments incurred by or owed to any Indemnitee to the extent addressed in Sections 3.03,  3.04 or 3.05, except to the extent set forth therein.

The obligations of Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g).

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

		
			10.06.    Successors and Assigns.
		

		
			(a)         Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and a Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 10.06, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 10.06 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (d) of this Section 10.06 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section 10.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees and Affiliates of the Lenders and the Agents) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
		

		
			(b)         Assignments by a Lender.  A Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it or Commitments hereunder held by it at the time)
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			103

		

 

		

		
			pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing or such assignment is to Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and which will be deemed given with respect to the Lenders previously identified by the Borrower in writing as acceptable) and each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(b) shall be either (i) in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or (ii) an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder.  From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption, and subject to the recordation thereof in the Register pursuant to Section 2.10(a), such Eligible Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender, have the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement; provided that such Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive greater amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 than those to which such Eligible Assignee’s assignor would have been entitled, at the time of the assignment, had no such assignment been made, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the assignment was effected.  Such Lender shall, to the extent of the interest so assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment of all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,  3.03,  3.04,  10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to such Lender and the assignee (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and shall execute and deliver any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such assignment and to provide for the administration of this Agreement after giving effect thereto. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 10.06.  Upon any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.06(b), (I) the applicable Eligible Assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a joinder to each of the Security Agreement and the Collateral Account Control Agreement (unless (x) such Eligible Assignee elects to be an Agented Lender in the Assignment and Assumption entered into by such Eligible Assignee or (y) such Eligible Assignee is an existing Lender and such joinders are not required as a result of the existing Security Agreement and Collateral Account Control Agreement) as set forth in the Security Agreement and the Collateral Account Control Agreement, respectively, and (II) the Borrower shall deliver to such assignee a Form U-1 or Form G-3 Purpose Statement or, if applicable, an amendment to a Form U-1 or Form G-3 Purpose Statement previously delivered to such assignee in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, duly executed by a Responsible Officer (in each case, unless such assignee has confirmed that it does not require either such form).  Any Lender that assigns any or all of its Loans pursuant to this Section 10.06(b) shall (unless and for so long as the applicable Eligible Assignee elects to be an Agented Lender) cooperate in good faith with the Agents to effect transfers of Collateral to Collateral Accounts under the control of such Eligible Assignee, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by submitting written instructions to the Custodian to effect the relevant transfers, and the assigning Lender and such Eligible Assignee hereby consent to such transfers.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			104

		

 

		

		
			The Borrower hereby agrees to execute any such documents that may be reasonably requested to effect such transfers.
		

		
			(c)          Participations.  A Lender may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing or such participation is to Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the portion of any Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower, the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would require the consent of all of the Lenders or such Lender.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.03 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.06;  provided that the Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 to the extent of any Taxes imposed as a result of such Participant’s failure to provide the forms required under Section 3.01(g) if it were a Lender (it being understood that the Participant shall provide such forms to the participating Lender instead of the Borrower).  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans or such other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
		

		
			(d)         Certain Pledges.  A Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under a Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			105

		

 

		

		
			(e)          Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share of the Loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection (e), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
		

		
			(f)          Delegation of Duties. Any Lender may perform all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers (including any such duties, rights and powers as an Applicable Lender, if applicable) by or through its Related Parties, and such delegation shall not, by itself, constitute an assignment; provided that no such delegation shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
		

		
			10.07.      Confidentiality.  The Lenders and the Agents agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to any other Lender or Agent or their respective Affiliates and to their and their Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the Custodian in its capacity as such or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to a Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
		

		
			For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent relating to the Borrower or the Parent, other than any such information that is available to a Lender or Agent on a nonconfidential basis prior to
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			106

		

 

		

		
			disclosure by the Borrower or the Parent or which is public information.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
		

		
			10.08.      Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or its Affiliates shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or any such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13(b) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of a Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
		

		
			10.09.      Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If a Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of such Lender’s portion of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude Voluntary Prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
		

		
			10.10.      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			107

		

 

		

		
			to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto (including, without limitation, each Person that is a Lender on the Closing Date, the Calculation Agent and the Borrower).  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, via telecopy or e-mail (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or certificate; provided that, without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.
		

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

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

		
			10.13.      Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
		

		
			(a)         GOVERNING LAW.

assumes and takes assignment from BP Pipelines of, the Contributed Assets, together with all rights, entitlements, privileges, obligations and liabilities arising therefrom and related thereto; provided that such acceptance and assumption shall be
without prejudice to the Omnibus Agreement dated as of the Closing Date between BP Pipelines and the Partnership (the “Omnibus Agreement”); and provided further, that such contribution, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery

the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures (as defined in the Mardi Gras LLC Agreement)) to the extent such distribution is related to a period of time prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Retained Distribution”). In the event that any
distribution is attributable to a period in which the Closing Date occurred, the portion of any distribution that is a Retained Distribution shall be calculated by multiplying the aggregate amount of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days from the beginning of the period to (but not including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such period. 

 

	 	b.	Effective as of the date and time set forth above, BP Holdco hereby contributes, transfers, assigns, conveys and delivers to the Partnership all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under, and the Partnership
accepts, assumes and takes assignment from BP Holdco of, the Contributed Assets, together with all rights, entitlements, privileges, obligations and liabilities arising therefrom and related thereto; provided that such acceptance and assumption
shall be without prejudice to the Omnibus Agreement. 

  

	 	c.	Effective as of the date and time set forth above, each of BP Pipelines, Standard Oil and the Partnership hereby agree to enter into the Mardi Gras LLC Agreement. 

 

	2.	Cash Distribution. The Partnership shall distribute to BP Holdco, and BP Holdco shall receive, under this Agreement $723,505,180, net of the offering expenses of $8,217,320 as described in the Registration
Statement (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), a portion of which will be reimbursement for certain capital expenditures incurred with respect to the Contributed Assets pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d), payable in
immediately available funds following the closing of the IPO to an account designated by BP Holdco. 

  

	3.	Additional Transactions. Effective as of the date and time set forth above: 

  

	 	a.	The Partnership hereby redeems the initial interests of the General Partner and BP Holdco and refunds to BP Holdco, and BP Holdco accepts the refund of, BP Holdco’s initial contribution of $100.00, and any interest
or other profit that may have resulted from the investment or other use of such initial capital contribution to BP Holdco; 

  
 3 

	 	b.	The Partnership hereby issues to the General Partner, and the General Partner accepts, (i) the General Partner Interest and (ii) all of the Incentive Distribution Rights in the Partnership; 

 

	 	c.	The Partnership hereby issues to BP Holdco, and BP Holdco accepts, 3,500,535 Common Units and 52,375,535 Subordinated Units representing a recapitalized 53.3% limited partner interest in the Partnership (before giving
effect to any exercise of the Over Allotment Option (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the Deferred Issuance and Distribution); 

  

	 	d.	The Partnership hereby issues to BP Holdco, and BP Holdco accepts, the right to receive the issuance of additional Common Units described in clause (a) of the definition of “Deferred Issuance and

	 	e.	The Partnership hereby issues to BP Holdco, and BP Holdco accepts, the right to receive the distribution(s) of cash described in clause (b) of the definition of “Deferred Issuance and Distribution” in the
Partnership Agreement. 

 Upon each exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, if any, the Partnership will distribute to BP Holdco
the cash described in clause (b) of the definition of “Deferred Issuance and Distribution” in the Partnership Agreement received by the Partnership upon such exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Upon the expiration of the period
during which the IPO Underwriters (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) may exercise the Over-Allotment Option, the Partnership will issue to BP Holdco a number of additional Common Units that is equal to the excess, if any, of
(x) 6,375,000 over (y) the aggregate number of Common Units, if any, actually purchased by and issued to the IPO Underwriters pursuant to each exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. 

 

	4.	Distributions with Respect to Periods Before the IPO. The Partnership shall remit to BP Pipelines any Retained Distributions received by the Partnership. Any payment by the Partnership pursuant to this
Section 4 shall be characterized as a retention by BP Pipelines of the right to its share of the cash distribution by BP2 OpCo, River Rouge OpCo, Diamondback OpCo, Mars or Mardi Gras, as applicable. 

 

	5.	Further Assurances. From time to time after the date of this Agreement, without the payment of any additional consideration, each party hereto shall execute all such instruments and take all such other actions as
the other party shall reasonably request in connection with carrying out and effectuating the intent and purpose hereof and all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

 

	6.	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.2 to the contrary, whenever all of the Member unanimously determine that additional
Capital Contributions in cash from the Members are necessary to fund the Company’s operations, the Managing Member may issue a notice to each Member (a “Call Notice”) for an additional Capital Contribution by each Member
(a “Required Contribution”) in an amount equal to such Member’s pro rata portion (based on the Percentage Interests of the Members) of the aggregate additional Capital Contribution determined to be necessary by the
Members not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date the Managing Member determine such additional Capital Contributions shall be made by the Members. 

(b) All Call Notices shall be expressed in U.S. dollars and shall state the date on which payment is due and the bank(s) or account(s) to which
payment is to be made. Each Call Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the purpose(s) for which such Required Contribution is required and the amount of the Required Contribution to be made by each Member pursuant to such Call Notice. Each
Member shall contribute its Required Contribution within ten (10) Business Days of the date of delivery of the relevant Call Notice. The Company shall use the proceeds of such Required Contributions exclusively for the purpose specified in the
relevant Call Notice. 
 Section 4.5 Failure to Contribute. 

(a) If a Member fails to contribute all or any portion of a Required Contribution that such Member (a “Delinquent
Member”) is required to make as provided in this Agreement, then, while such Member is a Delinquent Member, each non-Delinquent Member may (but shall have no obligation to) elect to fund all or any portion of the Delinquent
Member’s Required Contribution as a Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5. If a non-Delinquent Member so desires to fund such amount, such non-Delinquent Member shall so notify each of the other non-Delinquent Members,
who shall have five (5) Business Days thereafter to elect to participate in such funding. 
 (b) The portion that each participating
non-Delinquent Member may fund as a Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5 (the “NDP Amount”) shall be equal to the product of (x) the delinquent amount of such Required Contribution multiplied by
(y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Percentage Interest then held by such participating non-Delinquent Member and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Percentage Interest held by all such participating non-Delinquent
Members; provided, that if any participating non-Delinquent Member elects to fund less than its full allocation of such amount, the fully participating non-Delinquent Members shall be entitled to take up such shortfall (allocated, as
necessary, based on their respective Percentage Interests). Upon such funding as a Capital Contribution, the Company Interest and Percentage Interest of each Member shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect all such funding (based on total Capital
Contributions). 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.5 to the contrary, the Delinquent Member may cure such
delinquency (i) by contributing its Required Contribution prior to the Capital Contribution being made by another Member or (ii) on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the date that the participating non-Delinquent Member(s)
satisfied the Required Contribution, by making a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the 

  
 14 

 
Required Contribution (a “Make-Up Contribution”) and paying to each participating non-Delinquent Member an amount equal to its respective NDP Amount multiplied by the
Default Interest Rate for the period from the date such participating non-Delinquent Member funded its NDP Amount to the date that the Delinquent Member makes its Make-Up Contribution (the “Default Interest Amount”). If a
Delinquent Member cures its delinquency pursuant to Section 4.5(c)(ii) by making a Make-Up Contribution and paying the Default Interest Amount, then (A) first, the Company shall distribute to each existing Member that is a
participating non-Delinquent Member the NDP Amount that such participating non-Delinquent Member funded pursuant to Section 4.5(b), (B) second, the respective Capital Accounts and Percentage Interests of the Members shall be
adjusted with all necessary increases or decreases to return the Members’ Capital Accounts and Percentage Interests status quo ante application of Section 4.5(b) and (C) third, the Percentage Interest and Company Interests of
each Member shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Make-Up Contribution (based on total Capital Contributions). If the delinquency is remedied (i) by the Delinquent Member making its Required Contribution or Make-Up Contribution
pursuant to this Section 4.5(c) or (ii) by funding by the non-Delinquent Member(s) as a Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.5(b), the Delinquent Member shall no longer be deemed to be a Delinquent Member with
respect to the unfunded Required Contribution.

the following order:

notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Allocation Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if
necessary, subsequent Allocation Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be
made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(g)(2). This

provision of this Article V, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Allocation Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Allocation Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Allocation
Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations
pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4)
and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.3(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event that any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described
in Regulations Sections 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(c) were not in this Agreement. 

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year,
each such Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that
such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been tentatively made as if Section 5.3(c) and this Section 5.3(d) were not in this
Agreement. 
 (e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated among the Members in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of such Member’s Company Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be
treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in
the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 

Section 5.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.3 (the “Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, the Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with special allocations of other items of
Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Matters Member shall make such offsetting
special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the
Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 (other
than the Regulatory Allocations). In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.4, the Tax Matters Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory
Allocations previously made. 
 Section 5.5 Other Allocation Rules. 

(a) Profits, Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Members pursuant to this
Article V as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that Profits, Losses and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets are adjusted pursuant to
subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” in Section 1.1. 
 (b) For purposes of determining the
Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily proration basis by the Managing Member under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder. 

  
 17 

 Section 5.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal
income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Article V. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain,
loss and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the
Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Gross Asset Value). Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations
Section 1.704-3(d). 
 (b) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Property is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the
definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross
Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations Section 1.704-3(d). 

(c) In accordance with Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Members upon the sale or other taxable
disposition of any Property shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 5.6(c), be characterized as “recapture income” in the same proportions and to the
same extent as such Members (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as “recapture income.” 

(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Managing Member in any manner that reasonably reflects
the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s
Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 5.7 Tax Elections. 

(a) The Members intend that the Company be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, neither the Tax Matters
Member nor any Member shall file any election or return on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company that is inconsistent with that intent. 

(b) The Company shall make the election under Code Section 754 in accordance with the applicable Regulations issued thereunder, subject to
the reservation of the right to seek to revoke any such election upon the Managing Member’s determination that such revocation is in the best interests of the Members. 

  
 18 

 (c) Any elections or other decisions relating to tax matters that are not expressly provided
herein, shall be made jointly by the Members in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. 

Section 5.8 Tax Returns. 

(a) The Company shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns and reports required to be
filed by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company shall provide copies of all the Company’s federal, state, local and foreign tax returns (and any schedules or other required filings related to such returns) that reflect items of income,
gain, deduction, loss or credit that flow to separate Member returns, to the Members for their review and comment prior to filing, except as otherwise agreed by the Members. The Members agree in good faith to resolve any difference in the tax
treatment of any item affecting such returns and schedules. However, if the Members are unable to resolve the dispute, the position of the Tax Matters Member shall be followed if nationally recognized tax counsel acceptable to the Member provides an
opinion that substantial authority exists for such position. Substantial authority shall be given the meaning ascribed to it for purposes of applying Code Section 6662. If the Members are unable to resolve the dispute prior to the due date for
filing the return, including approved extensions, the position of the Tax Matters Member shall be followed, and amended returns shall be filed if necessary at such time the dispute is resolved. The costs of the dispute shall be borne by the Company.
The Members agree to file their separate federal income tax returns in a manner consistent with the Company’s return, the provisions of this Agreement and in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(b) The Members shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence or summaries of other communications with the Internal Revenue
Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority (other than routine correspondence and communications) regarding the tax treatment of the Company’s operations. No Member shall enter into settlement negotiations with the Internal Revenue
Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority with respect to any issue concerning the Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax
rate) would be $100,000 or greater, without first giving reasonable advance notice of such intended action to the other Members. 

Section 5.9 Tax Matters Member. 

(a) The Managing Member shall be the “Tax Matters Member” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code,
and shall act in any similar capacity under the Applicable Law of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, but only with respect to returns for which items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit flow to the separate returns of the Members. If
at any time there is more than one Managing Member, the Tax Matters Member shall be the Managing Member with the largest Percentage Interest following such admission. 

(b) The Tax Matters Member shall incur no Liability (except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Tax Matters
Member) to the Company or the other Members including, but not limited to, Liability for any additional taxes, interest or penalties owed by the other Members due to adjustments of Company items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit at the
Company level.

representative” under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) binding the Company and its Members with respect to tax matters and (ii) determining whether to make any available election under Section 6226 of the Code. In all
events, the cost incurred by the partnership representative in performing its duties hereunder shall be borne by the Company. In accordance with Section 13.6, the Managing Member shall propose and the Members shall agree to (such
agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) any amendment of the provisions of this Agreement required to appropriately to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations implementing the partnership audit, assessment and collection
rules adopted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, including any amendments to those rules. 
 (b) The partnership representative shall
incur no Liability (except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Tax Matters Member) to the Company or the other Members including, but not limited to, Liability for any additional taxes, interest or penalties owed by the
other Members due to adjustments of Company items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit at the Company level.

has been filed, with respect to any issue concerning the Company’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax rate) would be $100,000 or greater, unless
agreed by the other Members. If the other Members do not agree, the position of the Tax Matters Member or the partnership representative, as applicable, shall be followed if nationally recognized tax counsel acceptable to all Members issues an
opinion that a reasonable basis exists for such position. Reasonable basis shall be given the meaning ascribed to it for purposes of applying Code Section 6662. The costs of the dispute shall be borne by the Company.

of the following apply: 
 (i) all Members agree to the settlement; 

(ii) the tax effect of the issue if resolved adversely would be, and the tax effect of settling the issue is, proportionately
the same for all Members (assuming each otherwise has substantial taxable income); 
 (iii) the Tax Matters Member or the
partnership representative, as applicable, determines that the settlement of the issue is fair to the Members; or 
 (iv) tax
counsel acceptable to all Members determines that the settlement is fair to all Members and is one it would recommend to the Company if all Members were owned by the same person and each had substantial taxable income. 

In all events, the costs incurred by the Tax Matters Member or the partnership representative, as applicable, in performing its duties hereunder shall be
borne by the Company.

gain, loss, deduction and credit.

expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in the Managing Member, and no Member shall have any management power over the business and affairs of the Company.
In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a managing member of a limited liability company under the Delaware Act or which are granted to the Managing Member under any other provision of this Agreement, the Managing Member, subject to

Gras Joint Ventures in its sole discretion with respect to any matter requiring a vote of the members of any Mardi Gras Joint Venture under the limited liability company agreement of such Mardi Gras Joint Venture. 

Section 8.2 Matters Constituting Unanimous Approval Matters. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Delaware Act to the
contrary, and subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c), each of the following matters, and only the following matters, shall constitute a “Unanimous Approval Matter” which requires the prior approval of all of the Members
pursuant to Section 8.3(c):

interests in any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (b) other than equity securities issued upon exercise of convertible or exchangeable securities

Section 8.3 Meetings and Voting. 

(a) Representatives. For purposes of this Article VIII and subject to the Managing Member’s authority under
Section 8.1, each Member shall be represented by a designated representative (each, a “Representative”), who shall be appointed by, and may be removed with or without cause by, the Member that designated such
Person. Each Representative shall have the full authority to act on behalf of the Member who designated such Representative. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Representative shall be deemed the agent of the Member that
appointed him, and each Representative shall not be an agent of the Company or the other Members. The action of a Representative at a meeting of the Members (or through a written consent) shall bind the Member that designated that Representative,
and the other Members shall be entitled to rely upon such action without further inquiry or investigation as to the actual authority (or lack thereof) of such Representative. 

(b) Meetings and Voting. Meetings of Members shall be at such times and locations as the Managing Member shall determine in its sole
discretion. Any meeting of the Members may be held in person or by telephone conference or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting. The Managing Member shall provide notice to the Members of any meetings of Members in any manner that it deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The presence, in person or by proxy, of
each Member or its respective Representative shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Members. At any meeting of the Members duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement 

  
 24 

 
at which a quorum is present, the act of Members holding Company Interests that, in the aggregate, represent a majority of the Percentage Interests of those present in person or by proxy at such
meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Members, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Members holding Company Interests
that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Members with at least a majority of the
Percentage Interests of the Members entitled to vote at such meeting (including the Managing Member) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted. 

(c) Unanimous Approval Matters. All Unanimous Approval Matters shall be approved by the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the
Members. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that all references in this Agreement to any approval, consent or other form of authorization by “all Members,” “each of the Members” or similar phrases shall be deemed to mean that
such approval, consent or other form of authorization shall constitute a Unanimous Approval Matter that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Members in accordance with this Section 8.3(c). 

Section 8.4 Reliance by Third Parties. Persons dealing with the Company are entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and
authority of the Managing Member set forth in this Agreement. Neither a Member nor its Representative shall have the authority to bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

ARTICLE IX 
 TRANSFER
OF COMPANY INTERESTS 
 Section 9.1 Restrictions on Transfers. 

(a) General. Except as expressly provided by this Article IX, the Managing Member shall not transfer all or any part of its
Company Interests to any Person without first obtaining the written approval of each of the other Members, which approval may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion. Each of the Members other than the Managing Member may in its sole
discretion transfer all or any part of its Company Interests without approval from any other Member. 
 (b) Transfer by Operation of
Law. In the event the Managing Member shall be party to a merger, consolidation or similar business combination transaction with another Person or sell all or substantially all its assets to another Person, such Member may transfer all or part
of its Company Interests to such other Person without the approval of any other Member. 
 (c) Consequences of an Unpermitted
Transfer. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any transfer of a Member’s Company Interest in violation of the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio. 

Section 9.2 Conditions for Admission. No transferee of all or a portion of the Company Interests of any Member shall be admitted
as a Member hereunder unless such Company Interests are transferred in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each such 

  
 25 

 
transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company such instruments as the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the admission of such transferee as a
Member and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The admission of a transferee shall be effective immediately prior to such transfer and, immediately following such admission, the
transferor shall cease to be a Member (to the extent it transferred its entire Company Interest). If the Managing Member transfers its entire Member Interest in the Company, the transferee Managing Member, to the extent admitted as a substitute
Managing Member, is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the Company without dissolution. 
 Section 9.3 Allocations and
Distributions. Subject to applicable Regulations, upon the transfer of all the Company Interests of a Member as herein provided, the Profit or Loss of the Company attributable to the Company Interests so transferred for the Fiscal Year in which such
transfer occurs shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee as of the effective date of the assignment, and such allocation shall be based upon any permissible method agreed to by the Members that is provided for in Code
Section 706 and the Regulations issued thereunder. 
 Section 9.4 Restriction on Resignation or Withdrawal. Except in
connection with a transfer permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 or as contemplated by Section 12.1, no Member shall withdraw from the Company without the consent of each of the other Members. To the extent permitted by law, any
purported withdrawal from the Company in violation of this Section 9.4 shall be null and void. 
 ARTICLE X 

LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 10.1 Liability for Company Obligations. Except as otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the Liabilities of the Company
shall be solely the Liabilities of the Company, and no Indemnitee (other than the Managing Member) shall be obligated personally for any such Liability of the Company solely by reason of being an Indemnitee. 

Section 10.2 Disclaimer of Duties and Exculpation. 

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee shall have any duty
(fiduciary or otherwise) or obligation to the Company, the Members or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, and in taking, or refraining from taking, any action required or permitted under this Agreement or under Applicable Law, each
Indemnitee shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Indemnitee deems advisable, including its own interests, and need not consider any interest of or factors affecting, any other Indemnitee or the Company notwithstanding
any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity. To the extent that an Indemnitee is required or permitted under this Agreement to act in “good faith” or under another express standard, such Indemnitee shall act under such express standard
and shall not be subject to any other or different standard under this Agreement or otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity. 

  
 26 

 (b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties
(including fiduciary duties) and Liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace these duties and Liabilities of such Indemnitee in their entirety, and no Indemnitee shall be
liable to the Company, the Members or any other Person bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. 

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Indemnitee shall be liable to the Company, the Members or any other Person bound by this
Agreement for any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or Liability incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitee in such capacity, whether or not such Person continues to be an Indemnitee at the time of such cost,
expense, loss, damage, claim or Liability is incurred or imposed, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to
believe its conduct was unlawful. 
 (d) An Indemnitee shall be fully protected from liability to the Company, the Members and any other
Person bound by this Agreement in acting or refraining from acting in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company and such other information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to any matters the
Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the
value and amount of the assets, Liabilities, Profits and Losses of the Company. 
 Section 10.3 Indemnification. 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all Liabilities arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee and acting (or refraining to act) in such capacity on
behalf of or for the benefit of the Company; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to this Agreement if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a
criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company (including insurance
proceeds payable to the Company for such purposes), it being agreed that the Managing Member shall not be personally liable for such indemnification or advancement of expenses and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property
to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification or advancement of expenses. 
 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by law,
upon receipt by the Company of any undertaking by or on behalf of an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 10.3(a) to repay expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee in appearing at,
participating in or defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding if it shall be ultimately 

  
 27 

 
determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 10.3, such expenses shall, from time to time, be advanced to the Indemnitee by the
Company prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3, that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified. 
 (c) The indemnification provided by this Section 10.3 shall be in addition to
any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement to which the Company may be a Party, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in
any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, the
indemnification provided for in this Section 10.3 shall be without prejudice to any indemnification or similar undertaking by the Company to any other Person under a separate written legally binding agreement of the Company. 

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the Managing Member or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the
Managing Member, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities or such
Person’s activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 

(e) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Agreement. 
 (f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 10.3 solely because
the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies. 
 (g) The provisions of this
Section 10.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. 

(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 10.3 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or
impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3 as in
effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise
or be asserted.

 ARTICLE XI 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

or in equity, (a) the engaging in activities by any Indemnitee that are competitive with the business of the Company is hereby approved by all Members, (b) it shall not be a breach of any fiduciary duty or any other duty or obligation of a
Member under this Agreement or otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity for such Indemnitee to engage in such activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Company, (c) an Indemnitee shall have no obligation under this
Agreement or as a result of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity, to present business opportunities to the Company and (d) the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine,

 ARTICLE XII 

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 

Section 12.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its business and affairs wound up upon the earliest to occur of any
one of the following events: 
 (a) at any time there are no Members of the Company, unless the business of the Company is continued in
accordance with the Delaware Act; 
 (b) the written consent of all the Members; 

(c) an “event of withdrawal” (as defined in the Delaware Act) of the Managing Member; or 

(d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. 

The bankruptcy, involuntary liquidation or dissolution of a Member shall cause that Member to cease to be a member of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not be dissolved and its business and affairs shall not be wound up upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (c) above if, at the time of occurrence of such event, there is at least one remaining Member
(who is hereby authorized to, and shall, carry on the business of the Company), or if within ninety (90) days after the date on which such event occurs, the remaining Members elect in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the
appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional Managing Members of the Company. Except as provided in this paragraph, and to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, the occurrence of an event
that causes a Member to cease to be a Member of the Company shall not, in and of itself, cause the Company to be dissolved or its business or affairs to be wound up, and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Company shall, to the
extent permitted by the Delaware Act, continue without dissolution. 
 Section 12.2 Winding Up of Company. Upon dissolution, the
Company’s business shall be wound up in an orderly manner. The Managing Member shall (unless the Managing Member (or, if no Managing Member, the remaining Members) elects to appoint a liquidating trustee) wind up the affairs of the Company
pursuant to this Agreement. In performing its duties, the Managing Member or liquidating trustee is authorized to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Company in accordance with the Delaware Act and in any reasonable
manner that the Managing Member or liquidating trustee shall determine to be not adverse to the interests of the Members or their successors-in-interest. The Managing Member or liquidating trustee shall take full account of the Company’s
Liabilities and Property and shall cause the Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in the following order: 

  
 29 

 (a) First, to creditors, including Members who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law, in
satisfaction of all of the Company’s Liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof to the extent required by Section 18-804 of the Delaware Act), other than Liabilities for distribution to
Members under Section 18-601 or 18-604 of the Delaware Act; 
 (b) Second, to the Members and former Members of the Company in
satisfaction of Liabilities for distributions under Sections 18-601 or 18-604 of the Delaware Act; and 
 (c) The balance, if any, to the
Members in accordance with the positive balance in their respective Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods. 

Section 12.3 Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Company is
“liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XII to the Members who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations
Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Allocation Years, including the Allocation Year during which such
liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose
whatsoever. 
 Section 12.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article XII, in the event the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no actual dissolution and winding up under the Delaware Act has occurred, the Property shall not be liquidated,
the Company’s debts and other Liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for federal income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed all its Property
and Liabilities to a new limited liability company in exchange for an interest in such new limited liability company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited liability company
