the affected Party, including fire, floods, embargoes, shortages, epidemics, quarantines, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, acts of God or acts, omissions, or delays in acting, by any governmental authority (“force majeure”).  The Party affected by any event of force majeure will promptly notify the other Party, explaining the nature, details and expected duration of the force majeure event.  Such Party will also notify the other Party from time to time as to when the affected Party reasonably expects to resume performance in whole or in part of its obligations under this Agreement, and to notify the other Party of the cessation of any such event.  A Party affected by an event of force majeure will use its  [ * ] to remedy, remove, or mitigate such event and the effects of it with all reasonable dispatch.  If a Party anticipates that an event of force majeure may occur, such Party will notify the other Party of the nature, details and expected duration of the force majeure event.  Upon termination of the event of force majeure, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty will promptly recommence.

 

15.3Public Statements.  Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or listing agency, neither Party will make any public statement or release concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or use the other Party’s name or the name of any Affiliate of the other Party in any form of advertising, promotion or publicity, without obtaining the prior written consent of such Party.

If any provision of this Agreement is found by such an authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision and the intent of the Parties, within the limits of applicable laws, rules or regulations.

 

15.9Governing Law.  This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement is governed by, construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to any choice of law principle that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.  The Parties expressly reject any application to this Agreement of (a) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; and (b) the 1974 Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, as amended by that certain Protocol, done at Vienna on April 11, 1980.  This provision will operate without prejudice to either Party’s ability to seek injunctive or other interlocutory relief in any court accepting jurisdiction to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any actions taken by Manufacturer or refrained from by Manufacturer as are required to permit Manufacturer to comply with law, rule or regulation, including under any Work Order or the Quality Agreement is not and will not be deemed a breach of any Manufacturer obligation hereunder.  Without limiting the preceding sentence, Manufacturer will work with Atara in good faith to perform any Services requested by Atara in writing that would permit Atara to use Product pursuant to the permission of the applicable competent Authority.   

 

15.10Waiver.  Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement, or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter, will not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party, as applicable.

 

15.11No Benefit to Third Parties.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and they will not be construed as conferring any rights on any other persons.

 

15.12No Strict Construction; Headings.  This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party.  The section headings are included solely for convenience of reference and will not control or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement are deemed to be followed by the phrase “but not limited to”.  Whenever this Agreement refers to a request, such request must be in writing.  

 

15.13Certain Regulatory Filings.  Not less than [ * ] prior to filing with any relevant Authority any clinical trial application including any IND or EU Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier or any documentation that is comparable to such an application, Atara will give Manufacturer a copy of the relevant portions of the chemistry manufacturing controls (CMC) section of the common technical document or any comparable document that relates to any such application (all such documentation herein referred to as the “Application”). This disclosure will permit Manufacturer to verify that such portions of the Application accurately describes the Services that Manufacturer has performed and the manufacturing and testing processes that Manufacturer will perform under this Agreement.  

25

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

 

 

15.14SEC Filings.  If Atara determines that it is legally required to file this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Atara will use [ * ] to seek confidential treatment of the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Applicable Law, it being understood that the SEC ultimately will decide whether to grant such request for confidential treatment.

15.15Remedies.  Termination of this Agreement by a Party will not be an exclusive remedy and all other remedies will be available to the terminating Party, in equity and at law. If any set of facts or circumstances form the basis of a claim under more than one provision in this Agreement (including, for clarity, any Work Order and/or any Quality Agreement), either Party may pursue relief under any or all of such provisions, but in no event will either Party be entitled to duplicate or multiple recovery for any loss arising from or relating to the same set of facts or circumstances. 

 

15.16Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 7.         Execution in Counterparts.

SECTION 12.        GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 13.1.

6

DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
		
	13.3

SECTION 14.        Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
SECTION 15.        Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (to the extent permitted by Section 10.06 of the Amended Loan Agreement).
SECTION 17. Qualified Financial Contract. The parties agree that the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at www.isda.org and a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement and any Loan Document that is a “QFC” (as defined in the Bilateral Terms), and for such purposes this Agreement and such Loan Documents shall each be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” each party that is a Regulated Entity shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and each party (whether or not it is a Regulated Entity) shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity” with respect to each other party that is a Regulated Entity. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement, the Amended Loan Agreement or such Loan Documents and the Bilateral Terms, the Bilateral Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders may not adjust the determination of Valuation Percentage of Merger Shares or Spin-Off Shares if, pursuant to the definition thereof, such Valuation Percentage would be 100%. It is understood and agreed that (i) all determinations made by the Calculation Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement (whether under this Section 1.02(d) or otherwise) or the other Loan Documents will be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner (and, if made in accordance with such standard, and any other applicable standard set forth in the Loan Documents with respect to the determination being made, will be conclusive), (ii) the Calculation Agent (or any Lender) may consult with one or more Lenders or Agents in making such determinations and (iii) the Calculation Agent shall consult on a non-binding basis with Lenders in making determinations with respect to a Potential Adjustment Event arising out of a Share Price Event.

(f)    The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and the relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith, is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (iii) no joint venture is created hereby or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the parties hereto.
(g)    If, at any time after the Funding Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Liberty Broadband’s and its consolidated Subsidiaries’ indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $[____], the Calculation Agent may reduce, after non-binding consultation with the Borrower to the extent reasonably practical, the LTV Margin Call Level and/or the Maintenance LTV in each case, any such reduction having been calculated in good faith, and in a commercially reasonable and equitable manner as the Calculation Agent determines necessary to preserve for the Lenders and the Borrower the intent of the parties and the fair value and risks in the Loans. 
1.03.    Accounting Terms. 
(a)    Generally.

(b)    Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

51

1.04.    Times of Day. 
Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable) in the United States.
1.05.    Timing of Payment and Performance. 
When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (except as otherwise set forth herein or in any other Loan Document) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment that accrues interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
1.06.    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person. 
1.07.    Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on the Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Section 2.06(c) of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.06(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on the Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii) and (ii) the implementation of any alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of LIBOR or have the same volume or liquidity as the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

   ARTICLE II    
THE LOANS

2.01.    The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each Initial Loan Lender severally agrees to make an Initial Loan on the Funding Date to the Borrower in a principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Initial Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in accordance with the terms hereof in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (c) each Delayed Draw Lender severally agrees to make Delayed Draw Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time, during the Delayed Draw Availability Period for Delayed Draw Loans in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case, in a principal amount that will not exceed such Lender’s then outstanding Delayed Draw Commitment. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. The Initial Loan and any Delayed Draw Loan, or any portion thereof, once repaid may not be reborrowed.
2.02.    Funding of the Loans. 
(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 (and the Administrative Agent shall provide such notice to the Initial Loan Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as applicable) (x) in the case of Initial Loans, not later than 12:00 p.m. noon, on the date of the proposed Borrowing (the date of such Borrowing, the “Funding Date”) (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Borrowing Request for the Initial Loans may be delivered at any time prior to the Funding Date with the right of the Borrower to subsequently designate such Funding Date; provided, further, that such subsequent designation shall occur no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Funding Date), (y) in the case of Revolving Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing (or such shorter period as the 

53

Administrative Agent and the Lenders may agree) and (z) in the case of any Delayed Draw Loans, not later than 2:00 p.m. 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, Revolving Loans or Delayed Draw 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)    Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding hereunder at any time. 
2.03.    Repayment of the Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent on the applicable Maturity Date for each Type of Loan, for the ratable account of the Lenders of such Loan, the aggregate principal amount of such Type of Loan outstanding on such date together with all accrued interest thereon. Subject to Section 2.11(j), the Administrative Agent shall forward to each such Lender its Ratable Share of each such payment of the relevant Type of Loan being paid. 
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 Initial Loans, the Delayed Draw Loans and/or the Revolving Loans in whole or in part (a “Voluntary Prepayment”) in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans being prepaid, (y) in the case of a prepayment of Delayed Draw Loans, the 

54

applicable Prepayment Amount, if any, for such Delayed Draw Loans being prepaid and (z) other than with respect to the prepayment of Initial Loans contemplated in Section 4.02(k), all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04; provided that, (1) (A) prior to the expiration of the Prepayment Date, no prepayment of Initial Loans shall be permitted if there are any Revolving Loans or Delayed Draw Loans outstanding (after giving effect to any concurrent repayment of such Revolving Loans and/or Delayed Draw Loans, as applicable); for the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans may be prepaid at any time notwithstanding any Delayed Draw Loans that remain outstanding on the date of such prepayment, and (2) 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 (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may agree) 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 such Type of Loans then outstanding and being prepaid. Each such Voluntary Prepayment Notice shall specify the date of such prepayment, the amount of principal being prepaid and whether the Loans being prepaid are Initial Loans, Delayed Draw Loans and/or Revolving Loans and, in the case of Delayed Draw Loans, the applicable Prepayment Amount, if any, determined with respect to such Delayed Draw Loans, as set forth in the definition thereof. 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. Subject to Section 2.11(j), any Voluntary Prepayment described in this Section 2.04 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the applicable Lenders of the Type or Types of Loans being prepaid. The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Ratable Share of each such payment with respect to the relevant Type of Loans being prepaid.
2.05.    Mandatory Prepayments. 

55

(a)    On the first Business Day following the delivery of a Mandatory Prepayment Notice from the Calculation Agent to the Borrower 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 5:30 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 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 LTV Margin Call Level and/or (iii) the Maintenance LTV, 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 5:30 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)    If for any reason the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time, Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each such payment shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages solely in respect of the Revolving Loans.

56

(d)    Any prepayment described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.05 shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders, and each prepayment described in subsection (c) shall be made for the ratable accounts of the Revolving 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) and Section 2.09(f)(i), 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 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 with respect to each Loan shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Maturity Date for such Loan. Unless Borrower delivers a PIK Interest Election Notice to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree), 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). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the addition of PIK Interest to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans shall not result in a reduction of the aggregate principal amount of unused Commitments thereunder.
(b)    (i) With the exception of any accrued and unpaid interest that is applied to increase the aggregate principal amount on the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii), 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.

57

(ii)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)    Alternate Rate of Interest.
(i)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing:
(A)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or
(B)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that LIBOR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Borrowing of Loans shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. 
(ii)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in clause (c)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (B) the circumstances set forth in clause (c)(i) have not arisen but (I) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (II) the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Screen Rate), (III) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published, which date is prior to the latest Maturity Date then in effect, or (IV) the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, which date is prior to the latest Maturity Date then in effect, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall 

58

enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (ii) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) of the first sentence of this Section 2.06(c)(ii) (other than clause IV thereof), only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), any Borrowing of Loans shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. 
(d)    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.
(e)    Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay, on the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender with an Initial Loan Commitment on the Closing Date, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (A) the Commitment Fee Rate (as defined below) multiplied by (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loan Commitments as of the Closing Date multiplied by (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from and including the Closing Date to the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date, and the denominator of which is 360. The Commitment Fee Rate means (x) from the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (A) the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date and (B) the 30th day after the Closing Date, [____]%, (ii) from the 31st day after the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (A) the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date and (B) April 4, 2018, [____]% and (iii) from April 5, 2018 through the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date, [____]%. The Commitment Fee is due and payable in full on the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date, shall be fully earned when paid and be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever and, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, may be netted from the proceeds of the Initial Loans. The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment.
(f)    Revolving Loan Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Revolving Loan Commitment Fee”) equal to [____]% ([___] basis points) per annum on the daily unused amount of each Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date to but excluding the earlier to occur of (x) the expiration of the Revolving Availability Period and (y) the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. Accrued Revolving Loan Commitment Fees shall 

59

be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on the date the Revolving Commitment expires or terminates. Revolving Loan 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 Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment. 
(g)    Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay an upfront fee (the “Upfront Fee”) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Initial Loan Lender in an amount equal to [____]% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loan Commitments in effect on the Closing Date prior to any funding. The Upfront Fee is due and payable in full on the Initial Loan Commitment Termination 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.
(h)    Delayed Draw Loan Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Delayed Draw Lender a commitment fee (the “Delayed Draw Loan Commitment Fee”) equal to [____]% ([__] basis points) per annum on the daily unused amount of each Delayed Draw Commitment of such Delayed Draw Lender during the period from and including the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date to but excluding the earlier to occur of (x) the expiration of the Delayed Draw Availability Period and (y) the date on which such Delayed Draw Commitment expires or terminates. Accrued Delayed Draw Loan Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on the date on the Delayed Draw Commitment expires or terminates. Delayed Draw Loan 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 Delayed Draw Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment.
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 occurrence of the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Initial Loan Commitments 

60

of each Lender shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of each Initial Loan made by such Lender. Subject to Section 2.08(b) below, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate at the end of the Revolving Availability Period. Subject to Section 2.08(b) below, the Delayed Draw Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the last Business Day of the Delayed Draw Availability Period; provided that such termination shall not occur if the failure to fund within the Delayed Draw Availability Period 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. 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. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of termination or partial reduction (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree), 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 or, if less, the principal amount of the unused Commitments being terminated or permanently reduced. Subject to Section 2.11(j), any reduction of Commitments shall be applied, at the Borrower’s election, to the Delayed Draw Commitments and/or the Revolving Commitments of each Lender ratably, according to the Delayed Draw Commitments and/or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, held by each Lender. All fees accrued with respect to such Commitments until the effective date of any termination or reduction of such Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction of such Commitments.
2.09.    LTV Maintenance; LTV Notice. 
(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, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.09(a), 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 5:30 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.09(a) (the Business Day of such delivery of such Collateral Shortfall Notice, 

61

a “Collateral Shortfall Notice Day”) inform the Calculation Agent (or such Lender, as applicable) that it intends to satisfy such Collateral Shortfall Notice; provided that it is understood and agreed that so long as the Borrower otherwise complies with clause (ii)(B) below, any failure of the Borrower to timely inform the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender) that it intends to satisfy such Collateral Shortfall Notice as required in this clause (i) shall not result in a Default or Event of Default; 
(ii)    if the Borrower intends to satisfy any portion of the Collateral Shortfall by voluntarily prepaying the Loans as provided in Section 2.04 and/or causing Cash or Cash Equivalents that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral (which, in either case, may include the application of proceeds of Permitted Affiliate Loans or amounts repaid under Permitted Affiliate Investments) upon such delivery to be delivered to the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender, then (A) no later than Noon on the second Business Day following a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, provide the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender) with SWIFT or Fedwire instructions for delivery of the applicable funds for delivery contemplated in the following clause (B); provided that it is understood and agreed that so long as the Borrower otherwise complies with the following clause (B), 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 (A) shall not result in a Default or Event of Default, and (B) no later than 4:00 p.m. on the second Business Day after a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, (1) voluntarily prepay the Loans as provided in Section 2.04 (including payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans so prepaid, amounts owing under Section 3.04 and any applicable Prepayment Amount) and/or (2) cause Cash or Cash Equivalents, that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral upon such delivery, to be delivered to the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement, in an amount sufficient (when combined with the amounts, if any, to be delivered in accordance with clause (iii) below) to reduce the LTV Ratio to be equal to or less than the Maintenance LTV, as of the date of payment and/or delivery, all as determined by the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender); and
(iii)    if the Borrower intends to satisfy all or any portion of the Collateral Shortfall by selling Pledged Shares, then no later than 4:00 p.m. on the second Business Day after a Collateral Shortfall Notice Day, the Borrower shall execute a sale (an “Exchange Sale”) for a number of Pledged Shares pursuant to documentation or other arrangements that provide for payment of the net cash proceeds of such Exchange Sale directly into the Collateral Accounts as a voluntary prepayment of the Loans (including payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans so prepaid, amounts owing under Section 3.04 and any applicable Prepayment Amount) on a delivery-versus-payment basis against the delivery of such Pledged Shares from the Collateral Accounts on the applicable settlement date (which shall be no later than the second (2nd) Exchange Day after such sale is executed (such day, the “Exchange Sale 

62

Settlement Deadline”)) using a broker acceptable to the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender) for such sale; it being understood and agreed that (A) a broker that is an Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Calculation Agent (or such Lender, as applicable), (B) the Calculation Agent (or such Lender, as applicable) shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to use of a broker that is a nationally recognized top tier broker that is a leading dealer in securities of the applicable Issuer, and (C) the terms of such sale shall require the applicable broker to act in accordance with customary market standards consistent with its obligation as a broker to obtain the best execution for its customers) such that (when combined with the amounts, if any, to be delivered in accordance with clause (ii)(B) above), (1) upon the closing of such sale or sales and (2) delivery of the net cash proceeds of such Exchange Sale to the Applicable Lenders (allocated among the Applicable Lenders based upon their Ratable Shares of the Pledged Shares so sold) in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement as a voluntary prepayment of Loans (including payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans so prepaid, amounts owing under Section 3.04 and any applicable Prepayment Amount), the LTV Ratio shall be equal to or less than the Maintenance LTV, calculated based on the lesser of the Market Reference Price (x) as of the Collateral Shortfall Notice Day and (y) as of the date of payment, as determined by the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender); provided that (I) if such transaction does not settle by 4:00 p.m. on the applicable Exchange Sale Settlement Deadline, the Borrower shall either voluntarily prepay the Loans (including payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans so prepaid, amounts owing under Section 3.04 and any applicable Prepayment Amount) or cause Cash and/or Cash Equivalents that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral upon such delivery to be delivered to the Collateral Account of each Applicable Lender in accordance with Section 3 of the Security Agreement by 5:00 p.m. on such Exchange Sale Settlement Deadline, in an amount sufficient to reduce the LTV Ratio to be equal to or less than the Maintenance LTV when calculated in accordance with the foregoing, and (II) if the LTV Ratio exceeds the Maintenance LTV, calculated based on the lesser of the Market Reference Price (x) as of such Collateral Shortfall Notice Day and (y) as of the date of payment and after giving effect to the delivery of any net cash proceeds of Exchange Sale and any such prepayment of the Loans or delivery of Eligible Cash Collateral, as determined by the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender), an Event of Default shall exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not make any Exchange Sale with respect to any Pledged Shares at any time that the Borrower possesses any material Non-public Information in respect of the Issuer of such Pledged Shares.

63

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 or a Lender in accordance with this Section 2.09(a), as applicable, following a Share Price Event, a Potential Adjustment Event of the type described in clauses (a) or (c) thereof, 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 to the appropriate adjustments, to be made to (i) the Minimum Price, (ii) the LTV Margin Call Level, (iii) the Maintenance LTV and/or (iv) any other term or provision of this Agreement as the same relates to the applicable Shares, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 1.02(d) and (e); provided that, if the Calculation Agent fails to make its determination with respect to such adjustments by 5:30 p.m. on such Collateral Shortfall Notice Day (determined assuming the Calculation Agent had delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice on the date on which such Collateral Shortfall 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 appropriate adjustments in each case, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 1.02(d) and (e) 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) Scheduled Trading Day after the date of such request; provided, however, that if such request is made by the Borrower in connection with the delivery of a Collateral Shortfall Notice, then the Calculation Agent (or, if a Lender delivered such Collateral Shortfall Notice, such Lender) shall notify the Borrower of the LTV Ratio, as determined in accordance with the definition of Market Reference Price on such Collateral Shortfall Notice Day.
(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 announced 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 (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 and/or Cash 

64

Equivalents that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral 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 

65

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 and/or Cash Equivalents that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral upon such 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 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 withdrawal of Collateral pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.09, 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 

66

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 [____]% 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 [____]% of the value (determined based on the Market Reference Price) of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Shares, and other Shares not issued by such Issuer shall be permitted to be released to the extent otherwise permitted under clause (e) of this Section 2.09. 
(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. (or such shorter period as the Calculation Agent and the Applicable Lenders may agree)), 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(e) 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, (x) the Borrower is not required to make any prepayment and/or provide additional Collateral under Section 2.05 or Section 2.09(a) that have not been made or provided prior to or substantially concurrently with such release (and will not be required to take any such action as a result of the proposed release, except to the extent taken prior to or substantially concurrently with such release) and (y) no Mandatory Prepayment Event shall exist.
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. (or such 

67

shorter period as the Calculation Agent and the Applicable Lenders may agree)), 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; provided, further, that (x) prior to the funding of the Initial Loans, Collateral will be required to be retained in the Collateral Account sufficient to satisfy the Upfront Fees and Commitment Fees due and owing on the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date (in each case, determined as if Initial Loans, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loan Commitments in effect on the Closing Date, had been made on the Initial Loan Commitment Termination Date), (y) any Shares that are so released shall cease to constitute Eligible Pledged Shares at all times thereafter and (z) the release of Collateral pursuant to Section 2.09(f) shall not be subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09(e). 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(e) 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. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of an Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event, Issuer Tender to Merger Event or in connection with a sale of Pledged Shares made in accordance with Section 2.09(a)(iii), (i) upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall (and may, without the consent of any Lender) promptly originate an instruction or entitlement order to the Custodian directing the release and transfer of any Pledged Shares subject to such Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event, Issuer Tender to Merger Event (but excluding any Pledged Shares received as consideration by the Borrower in connection with any such Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event or Issuer Tender to Merger Event) or sale of Pledged Shares made in accordance with Section 2.09(a)(iii) upon or following the occurrence of such Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event, Issuer Tender to Merger Event, or sale under Section 2.09(a)(iii), regardless of whether the conditions to release of Collateral set forth in this Section 2.09(e) are otherwise met, (ii) to the extent it is necessary for the Calculation Agent or any Applicable Lender to take action under the Collateral Documents to cause the Pledged Shares subject to such Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event, Issuer Tender to Merger Event or sale under Section 2.09(a)(iii) to cease to be Pledged Shares upon the occurrence of such Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event, Issuer Tender to Merger 

68

Event or such sale, then the Calculation Agent or such Applicable Lender shall take such action (and each Secured Party authorizes the taking of such actions by the Calculation Agent and such Applicable Lender), and (iii) to the extent it is necessary for the Borrower to take action to cause (x) any Shares, Permitted Assets or other assets or consideration received in respect of such Issuer 251(g) Merger Event, Issuer Merger Event, Issuer Tender to Merger Event or sale under Section 2.09(a)(iii) or (y) any Shares tendered in the tender offer relating to an Issuer Tender to Merger Event where (A) such tender offer is not settled within three (3) Business Days following any tender of Shares by Borrower in such tender offer, (B) such Shares are properly withdrawn prior to expiration or (C) such tender offer is terminated prior to such Shares being accepted by the offeror, in the case of each of clause (x) and clause (y), to constitute Collateral pledged under the Security Agreement to each Applicable Lender, on a ratable basis, Borrower agrees to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to confirm or ensure that such Shares, Permitted Assets, other assets or consideration or previously tendered Shares promptly constitute Collateral pledged under the Security Agreement to each Applicable Lender, on a ratable basis, and, if Shares, Permitted Assets, other assets or consideration or previously tendered Shares are so pledged, then, to the extent such Shares, Permitted Assets, other assets or consideration or previously tendered Shares may be held in an account subject to the Collateral Account Control Agreement, the Borrower will take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to cause such Shares, Permitted Assets, other assets or consideration or previously tendered Shares to be held in accounts subject to the Collateral Account Control Agreement.
(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) on a ratable basis among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the Eligible Cash Collateral being released and (B) in an aggregate amount equal to the lower 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. 

69

(g)    In addition to transfers made pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or (c), made in connection with Dispositions under Section 7.04(a), (b) or (d), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, transfer (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents that will constitute Eligible Cash Collateral upon such transfer and/or (ii) assets other than Cash and/or Cash Equivalents that each of the Lenders have previously consented to in writing to be included as Collateral, 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 transfers made pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) or (c) or in connection with Dispositions under Section 7.04(a), (b) or (d), which such adjustments shall be effective on the date of delivery of Eligible Cash Collateral); provided that, except in the case of Section 2.09(a) or (c) or Section 7.04(a), (b) or (d), 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 (and may without the consent of any Lender) 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, (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 exceed the LTV Margin Call Level or, if a Collateral Shortfall Notice is received, Borrower cures a Collateral Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.09(a), upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall (and may without the consent of any Lender) 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) or (iii) there occurs a Potential Adjustment Event with respect to any Spin-Off Shares and Borrower elects to exclude the Collateral Value of such Spin-Off Shares from the calculation of the LTV Ratio as provided in the last paragraph of the definition of “Potential Adjustment Event” and otherwise complies with the provisions of such paragraph, then, so long as the LTV Ratio does not exceed the LTV Margin Call Level, upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower, the Calculation Agent shall (and may without the consent of any Lender) 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.
(k)    To the extent an assignment of Loans or Commitments by any Lender pursuant to Section 10.06 requires the distribution or reallocation of Collateral, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09 shall not apply to any such distribution or reallocation.
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. 

71

(b)    Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, including Section 2.04, Section 2.08(b) and Section 2.09(a), the Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of any applicable Prepayment Amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is solely payable in respect of the Delayed Draw Loans) and each other payment hereunder shall be allocated among the Lenders (or in the case of any Prepayment Amount, the Lenders who are owed such amount) pro rata in accordance with their Ratable Shares of the Loans (provided that, if the Borrower makes an election pursuant to Section 2.11(i), such payment shall be allocated to the Lenders holding Loans of the Type so prepaid pro rata in accordance with their Ratable Shares of the Loans of such Type). 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 the Borrower, the Floating Rate. If the 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 

72

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 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). 
(i)    All payments (including prepayments and any other amounts received hereunder other than payments and amounts received in connection with the exercise of the Agents’ and each Applicable Lenders’ rights after an Event of Default) made by the Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (i) to any expenses and indemnities payable by the Borrower to any Agent under any Loan Document, (ii) ratably to any expenses and indemnities payable by the Borrower to any Lender under any Loan Document, (iii) subject to Section 2.11(j), to any accrued and unpaid interest and fees (including any applicable Prepayment Amount) due under this Agreement, (iv) subject to Section 2.11(j) and Section 2.04, to principal payments on the outstanding Initial Loans, Revolving Loans and/or Delayed Draw Loans (if any) pro rata and (v) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations under the Loan Documents. 
(j)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except 

73

for Section 2.04, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall apply to or restrict (i) the payment of the Revolving Loan Commitment Fee, Delayed Draw Loan Commitment Fee, other fee (including any Prepayment Amount) or interest payable with respect to any Initial Loans, Delayed Draw Commitment, Delayed Draw Loans, Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, as applicable, (ii) the reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments and/or Delayed Draw Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08 (and payments of Revolving Loan Commitment Fee, Delayed Draw Loan Commitment Fees and/or other fees, as applicable, due on the date of any such termination) or (iii) the prepayment of any Initial Loans, Revolving Loans and/or Delayed Draw Loans, whether in full or in part, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis with respect to any other Type of Loans as the Borrower shall elect; provided that if the Borrower does not make such election prior to or concurrently with delivering a Voluntary Prepayment Notice, if applicable, any such payments will be applied on a pro rata basis to the outstanding Initial Loans, Revolving Loans and/or Delayed Draw Loans. 
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) (excluding, in each case, any exercise of remedies by an Applicable Lender with respect to its Applicable Collateral or by amounts received by an Applicable Lender with respect to its Applicable Collateral under a Debtor Relief Law) in excess of its Ratable Share of the amounts owed to it hereunder (or, if the Borrower makes an election pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.09(a), in excess of its Ratable Share of amounts owed to it hereunder with respect to Loans of the Type so prepaid), 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: 

74

(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 “Required Revolving 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 pro rata share (based on such Defaulting Lender’s applicable percentage of the Commitments at the applicable time relating to such Loan) 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)    Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.06(e), Section 2.06(f), Section 2.06(g) or Section 2.06(h), as applicable, 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).

75

(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 applicable Type of Loans being purchased, 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 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 (i) any posting or release of Collateral did not occur on a ratable basis among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares of the amount and type of Collateral being posted or released (other than in connection with any distribution of Collateral in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06), (ii) the Collateral is not held among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (including with respect to the types of Collateral held by each Applicable Lender) for any other reason (other than as a result of a Lender exercising remedies in accordance with the Loan Documents) or (iii) Collateral needs to be distributed in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06, 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 among the Applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares (including with respect to the types of Collateral held by each Applicable Lender). 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no rebalancing shall be required to the extent the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.14(a) result from (x) a Lender waiving amounts owing to it, whether principal, interest or otherwise, in accordance with Section 10.01(a) or (y) a Lender releasing all or any portion of the Collateral, other than in connection with Section 2.09 or pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the other Loan Documents.

76

(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.    Notice of Additional Debt of Liberty Broadband. The Borrower shall promptly and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days after Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide such notice to the Lenders) that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Liberty Broadband’s and its consolidated Subsidiaries’ indebtedness for borrowed money exceeds $[____].
                    
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 

77

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. 
(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 

78

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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) 

79

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 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.

80

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 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.

81

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 based upon the LIBOR component of the Floating Rate 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 based upon the LIBOR component of the Floating Rate 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 based upon the LIBOR component of the Floating Rate. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.
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 

82

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 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;

83

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 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:

84

(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.

(i) The Borrower shall fail to make any payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) in excess of the Threshold Amount, when and as the same shall become due and payable (after the expiration of any grace or cure period applicable thereto); or (ii) any event or condition occurs that results in any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) of the Borrower in excess of the Threshold Amount becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any such Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any such Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity (or to require an offer to purchase or redeem or prepay to be made to the holders of such Indebtedness or a payment be made under any Indebtedness constituting a guaranty of Indebtedness in excess of the Threshold Amount), but in each case, only after the expiration of any grace or cure period applicable thereto; provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, and in connection therewith such secured Indebtedness which is due is repaid. 
8.02.    Remedies upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing: 
(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 

105

Amount, if applicable, 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 (if applicable to the Type of such Loans) 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. (%3) After the exercise of any remedies 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 from the Borrower on account of the Obligations of all Lenders (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts received by any Person, including the Administrative Agent, in connection with the exercise of any remedies by an Applicable Lender with respect to Collateral under its control, pursuant to the Collateral Account Control Agreement, as provided for in Section 8.02(b)) 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; 
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; 

106

Fifth, to payment of any other Obligations ratably to the Secured Parties according to such Obligations owing to the Secured Parties; and
Sixth, 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 any remedies by an Applicable Lender with respect to its Applicable Collateral 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 and such Applicable Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. 
8.04.    Certain Provisions Related to Applicable Lenders.
(a)    For the avoidance of doubt, each Applicable Lender may choose to exercise any remedies provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, or refrain from 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 (which joinders shall be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent), and (III) if reasonably 

107

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.
ARTICLE IX     
AGENTS

9.01.    Authorization and Authority. 

(a)    Each Lender and each other Agent hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch to act on its behalf as the Calculation Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch 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 

108

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 Agents 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 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 

109

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. No Agent shall be required to expend or risk its own funds in 

110

the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
(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. 
(d)    Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf 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 

111

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 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 

112

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.
9.07.    Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders.
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance upon any of the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or 

113

any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, (y) making the Loans and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, has performed its own analysis and made its own decision (credit, legal and otherwise) that entering into this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and that the making of the Loans are suitable and appropriate for it.
(b)    Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own decisions (credit, legal and otherwise) to take or not take action under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
(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 

114

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 Calculation Agent, at its option and in its discretion, as applicable, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon termination of the aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) (or, in the case of any Applicable Lender, upon the termination of the aggregate Commitments held by, and payment in full of all Obligations 

115

(other than contingent obligations with respect to which no claim has been made) owing to, such Applicable Lender and its Agented Lenders or 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), as applicable) or (ii) that is expressly permitted to be released pursuant to Section 2.09.
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;

116

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 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

(b)    Indemnification by the Borrower. 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).
(d)    Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party or an Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party hereto or Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

124

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) 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 

125

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 (which joinders shall be executed by the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent), 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. 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 

126

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. 
(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 pro rata share (based on such Defaulting Lender’s applicable percentage 

127

of the Commitments at the applicable time relating to such Loans) 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 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, 

128

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 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, 

129

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. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. 
(b)    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN 

130

RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. 
(c)    WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SUBSECTION (b) OF THIS SECTION 10.13. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
(d)    SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
10.14.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
10.15.    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into Law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower agrees to provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by such Lender or Agent in order to assist such Lender or Agent in maintaining compliance with its procedures, the USA PATRIOT Act and any other applicable Laws. 
10.16.    Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement is a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, qualifying for protection under Section 555 of the Bankruptcy 

131

Code; all deliveries and transfers of cash, securities or other property and all payments and grants of security interests made or required to be made under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or contemplated hereby or thereby are “transfers” made and “margin payments” or “settlement payments” made “by or to (or for the benefit of)” a “financial institution” (each as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) within the meaning of Sections 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e) and/or 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code; and all obligations under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent obligations in respect of “termination values,” “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
10.17.    No Recourse to Affiliates of Borrower. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT ANY AMOUNTS OWED, OR CLAIMS OR LIABILITIES INCURRED BY, THE BORROWER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, SHALL BE SATISFIED FROM THE ASSETS OF THE BORROWER, AND NO RECOURSE WHETHER BY SETOFF OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE HAD TO THE ASSETS OF ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, SHAREHOLDER, INVESTMENT MANAGER, MEMBER, INDEPENDENT MANAGER OR LIMITED OR GENERAL PARTNER OF THE BORROWER, OR OF ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. THE LOANS ARE MADE WITH FULL RECOURSE TO THE BORROWER AND CONSTITUTE DIRECT, GENERAL, UNCONDITIONAL AND UNSUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS OF THE BORROWER. 
10.18.    Conflicts. The parties acknowledge that (a) there is no hedging arrangement relating to any Loan between any Lender or any of its Affiliates on one hand and the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, (b) there is no understanding between any Lender or any of its Affiliates on one hand and the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on the other hand regarding any hedging related to any Loan by any Lender or its Affiliates and (c) there is no arrangement or understanding for any Lender or its Affiliates to provide, and each Lender agrees not to provide and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates not to provide, the Borrower with any information regarding how, when or whether such Lender or its Affiliates hedges, or will hedge, any Loan; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate of the Borrower will request such information from the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender. The Borrower will not seek to control or influence how, when or whether Lender will make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3) under the Exchange Act) under any Loan entered into under this Agreement, including any Lender’s decision to enter into any hedging transactions or to conduct foreclosure sales of any shares of Pledged Shares made in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. The Borrower acknowledges that: (i) during the term of the Loans, any Lender and its affiliates may buy or sell Shares or other securities or buy or sell options or futures contracts or enter into swaps or other derivative securities in order to establish, adjust or unwind its hedge position with respect to its portion of the Loans; (ii) any Lender and its affiliates may also be active in the market for the Shares other than in connection with any hedging activities in relation to its portion of the Loans; (iii) any Lender shall make its own determination as to whether, when 

132

or in what manner any hedging or market activities in Shares or other securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate; and (iv) any market activities of any Lender and its affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, as well as the LTV Ratio, each in a manner that may be adverse to the Borrower.  
10.19.    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any Assignment and Assumption, amendment or other modification, Borrowing Request, waiver or consent) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. 
10.20.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) each of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person, and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent or any of the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) each of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent nor any of the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent, each of the Lenders or their respective 

133

Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
10.21.    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
