As the disclosed principal for its agent,  each Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on account  of Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Lenders to such  Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans and Letters of Credit are  recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower.

Each conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate  Loans shall be pro-rated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders.  No portion of  the outstanding principal of any Loans shall be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans and no  Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be continued into a subsequent Interest Period, less than two weeks  before the scheduled Termination Date or at any time that an Event of Default or Unmatured Event  of Default shall exist. After giving effect to all Borrowings, conversions, and continuations of  Loans, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.  2.6 Maturity of Loans.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable  to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a  Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(ii) shall  be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender  irrevocably consents hereto.

(C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each  Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender  with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings that has  been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection (iv) below, (y) pay to the  applicable Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the  extent allocable to such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be  required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.  

 

36  744308279  (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of  Credit Outstandings shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in  accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such  Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does  not cause the aggregate Credit Extensions of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed  such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to Section 15.25, no  reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party  hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a  Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of  such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.  (v) Cash Collateral.  If the reallocation described in subsection (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without  prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law,  Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the  procedures set forth in Section 5.8.  (b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Issuer 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 (which may include  arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such 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 and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata  basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (without giving effect  to Section 2.7(a)(iv)), 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 either Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting  Lender; and 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.  SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF LOANS.  (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in  the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative  Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the  Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to each Borrower and the interest and payments  thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or  otherwise affect the obligation of either Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with  respect to the Liabilities.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records  maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in  respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control  

 

37  744308279  in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the  Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the  Administrative Agent) a Note or Notes which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in  addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note or  Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type and amount of each of its Loans, the Interest  Period therefor (if applicable) and payments with respect thereto.  (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice  accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in  Letters of Credit.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained  by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such  matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence  of manifest error.  SECTION 4. INTEREST AND FEES.  4.1 Interest.  Subject to Section 4.2,  (a) Alternate Base Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal of the Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the  Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (ii) the Alternate Base Rate Margin in  effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity.  (b) Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal of the Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Eurodollar  Rate (Reserve Adjusted) in effect for each applicable Interest Period plus (ii) the Eurodollar  Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity.  4.2 Default Interest.  The Borrowers shall pay interest on any amount of principal of  any Loan which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,  after as well as before judgment, accruing from the date such amount shall have become due to the  date of payment thereof in full at the Default Rate.  While any other Event of Default exists, upon  the request of the Majority Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of  all outstanding Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of their other Liabilities,  at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.  4.3 Non-use Fee.  Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro  rata benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a fee (the “Non-use  Fee”) during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the Termination Date in an amount  equal to the Non-use Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time on such Borrower’s daily  actual Total Availability, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.7.  The Non-use Fee shall  be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date for any period then  ending for which the Non-use Fee shall not have been theretofore paid.  4.4 Letter of Credit Fees.  Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,  for the pro rata account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a fee for  

 

38  744308279  each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from the date of the issuance of  such Letter of Credit for the account such Borrower to the date upon which such Letter of Credit  expires or is otherwise terminated, of (a) in the case of each Commercial Letter of Credit issued  for the account of such Borrower, 0.75% per annum times the Stated Amount of such Letter of  Credit, and (b) in the case of each Standby Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower,  the LC Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time times the Stated Amount of such Letter of  Credit.  Such fee shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Payment Date and on the  Termination Date (and thereafter on demand) for the period then ending for which such fee shall  not theretofore have been paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this  Agreement, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender  with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash  Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuer pursuant to Section 5.8 shall be payable, to the  maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward  adjustments in their respective Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section  2.7(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such Issuer for its own account.  4.5 Fronting Fees.  Each Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Issuer a fronting fee  for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuer at the times and  in the amounts separately agreed to by such Borrower and such Issuer.  4.6 Fees.  Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent,  the Documentation Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, for their own respective accounts, such  fees as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time by such parties.  4.7 Method of Calculating Interest and Fees.  Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan  bearing interest based on Bank of America’s prime rate and any fees payable under Section 4.3  shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and  paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to  the last day thereof.  All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting  of 360 days and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first  day thereof to the last day thereof.  SECTION 5. LETTERS OF CREDIT.  5.1 Issuance Requests.  By delivering to the Administrative Agent and the applicable  Issuer an Issuance Request on or before 3:00 p.m. each Borrower may request, from time to time  prior to the Termination Date and on not less than three nor more than ten (10) Business Days’  notice, that such Issuer issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower; provided that the  Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not at any time exceed $100,000,000.  Such Issuance Request  may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission  using the system provided by the Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to  the Issuer.  Upon receipt of an Issuance Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify  the Lenders thereof.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its  “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier of 12 months from its date of issuance and fourteen  (14) days prior to the scheduled Termination Date. 

 

39  744308279  The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree, anything in any  Issuance Request to the contrary notwithstanding, that any and all provisions of any Issuance  Request purporting to grant a security interest in any asset of any Borrower are null and void, it  being the intention of the parties that security for the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any  Letter of Credit shall be provided as described in Section 5.8 and pursuant to the documents  described in Section 8.1.  Notwithstanding the terms of any Issuance Request for a Commercial  Letter of Credit, in no event may any Borrower extend the time for reimbursing any drawing under  a Commercial Letter of Credit by obtaining a bankers’ acceptance from the relevant Issuer.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuance Request,  the terms hereof shall control.  5.2 Issuances and Extensions.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 11), each Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuance Requests made  therefor; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be issued under this  Agreement unless the Issuer (other than Bank of America) notifies the Administrative  Agent of the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  (b) Each Issuer will make available the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues in accordance with the Issuance Request therefor (and will promptly provide the  Administrative Agent with a copy of such Letter of Credit).  (c) An Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing  such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive  (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with  jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from,  the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or  shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,  reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated  hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon  such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the  Restatement Effective Date and which such Issuer in good faith deems material to  it;  (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuer;  (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;  (iv) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder;  

 

40  744308279  (v) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral,  satisfactory to such Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such  Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure  (after giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender  arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of  Credit and all other Letter of Credit Outstandings as to which such Issuer has actual  or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;  (vi) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would cause the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer to exceed such  Issuer’s LC Commitment; or  (vii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the  case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a Standby Letter  of Credit.  (d) No Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms  hereof.  (e) No Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its  amended form under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does  not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.  (f) Each Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuer shall have all  of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with  respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuer in connection with Letters  of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuance Requests and applications  pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used  in Section 13 included such Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as  additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuer.  5.3 Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to each Issuer.  Each Borrower  agrees to pay directly to the applicable Issuer for its own account all customary fees and standard  costs and charges of such Issuer in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if  any) and administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the account of such  Borrower upon demand from time to time.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges  are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.  5.4 Other Lenders’ Participation.  Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 5.2  shall, effective upon its issuance and without further action, be issued on behalf of all Lenders  (including the Issuer thereof) pro rata according to their respective Percentages.  Each Lender shall,  to the extent of its Percentage, be deemed irrevocably to have participated in the issuance of such  

 

41  744308279  Letter of Credit and shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer  thereof an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of any drawings which have  not been reimbursed by the Borrowers, in accordance with Section 5.5, or which have been  reimbursed by the Borrowers but must be returned or disgorged by such Issuer for any reason, and  each Lender (unless such Lender is then a Defaulting Lender) shall, to the extent of its Percentage,  be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit Fees  received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.4, with respect to each Letter of Credit.   In the event that the Borrowers shall fail to reimburse any Issuer (through the Administrative  Agent), or if for any reason Loans shall not be made to fund any Reimbursement Obligation, all  as provided in Section 5.5 and in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by such  Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it, or in the event such Issuer must for any reason return  or disgorge such reimbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Issuer and  each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing and of such Lender’s respective  participation therein.  Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the  account of such Issuer, whether or not any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall  exist, an amount equal to such Lender’s respective participation in same day or immediately  available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City  time) on the Business Day after the date notified by such Issuer.  The Administrative Agent will  promptly make available to the applicable Issuer any amounts received by it pursuant to the  preceding sentence.  In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative  Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided herein, such  Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest  at the daily average Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days (together with such other  compensatory amounts determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking  industry rules on interbank compensation) and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%.   Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any  Issuer any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuer pursuant to this Section in the  event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the applicable payment with  respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuer constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on  the part of such Issuer.  Each Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each  Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section with respect to any Letter of  Credit issued by such Issuer, such Lender’s Percentage of all payments received by such Issuer  from the Borrowers, in reimbursement of drawings honored by such Issuer under such Letter of  Credit when such payments are received.  The Administrative Agent will promptly make available  to the applicable Lenders any amounts received by it from an Issuer pursuant to the preceding  sentence.  Each Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit shall (a) continue  notwithstanding termination of the Commitments until all Liabilities with respect to Letter of  Credit Outstandings have been fully and finally paid and (b) be absolute and unconditional and  shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,  defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Issuer, the Borrowers or any other  Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an  Unmatured Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not  similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base  Rate Loans pursuant to Section 5.5 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 (other than  delivery by a Borrower of a Loan Request).  

 

42  744308279  5.5 Disbursements.  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any  notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuer of such Letter of Credit will notify the  Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter  of Credit, or of any draft thereunder (any such payment, a “Disbursement”).  If an Issuer shall  make any Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuer  in respect of such Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such  Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m. on (i) the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives  notice of such Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)  or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower receives such  notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time.  To the extent the applicable Issuer is not  reimbursed in full in accordance with the second sentence of this Section, the Borrowers’  Reimbursement Obligation shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, payable on demand.  In the  event the applicable Issuer is not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the Disbursement Date, or if  such Issuer must for any reason return or disgorge such reimbursement, the Lenders shall, on the  terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make Loans that are Alternate Base Rate  Loans on the next Business Day in an aggregate amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligations  as provided in Section 2.1 (the Lead Borrower being deemed to have given a timely Loan Request  therefor for such amount); provided that, for the purpose of determining the availability of the  Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans,  such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed not to be outstanding at such time.  The proceeds  of the Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence will be turned over to the applicable Issuer  in satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligation.  5.6 Reimbursement Obligations Absolute.  The Borrowers’ obligation (a  “Reimbursement Obligation”) under Section 5.5 to reimburse an Issuer with respect to each  Disbursement (including interest thereon) made under any Letter of Credit, and each other  Lender’s obligation to make participation payments in each drawing which has not been  reimbursed by such Borrower, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all  circumstances, including:  (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;  (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or  any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or  any such transferee may be acting), any Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection  with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or  any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;  (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or  any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the  transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such  Letter of Credit;  

 

43  744308279  (d) waiver by the Issuer of any requirement that exists for the Issuer’s protection and not the protection of a Borrower, or any waiver by the Issuer that does not  in fact materially prejudice a Borrower;  (e) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;  (f) any payment made by the Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents  must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized  by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;  (g) any payment by the applicable Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such  Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any  Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the  benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any  beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection  with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or  (h) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a  defense available to, or a discharge of, a Borrower or any their respective Subsidiaries.  Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each  amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with  such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the  applicable Issuer.  Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim  against such Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.  5.7 Role of Issuers.  Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in making any  Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall not have any responsibility to  obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by  the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document  or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of any Issuer, the  Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant  or assignee of any Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in  connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as  applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful  misconduct; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or  instrument related to any Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or  omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit issued for  such Borrower’s account; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude  such Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or  transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any  of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuer shall  be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 5.6);  

 

44  744308279  provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a  claim against an Issuer, and such Issuer may be liable to a Borrower, to the extent, but only to the  extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such  Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross  negligence or such Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation  to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and  conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuer  may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further  investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuer shall not be  responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting  to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in  whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  The Issuer may send  a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for  Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or  any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.  5.8 Deemed Disbursements; Cash Collateral.  (a) Deemed Disbursements.  During the existence of any Event of Default, an amount equal to that portion of Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to outstanding  and undrawn Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower shall, at  the election of the Majority Lenders, and without demand upon or notice to such Borrower,  be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the applicable Issuer under such Letters of  Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed),  and, upon notification by such Issuer to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower of its  obligations under this Section, such Borrower shall be immediately obligated to reimburse  such Issuer the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuer.  Any  amounts so received by such Issuer from a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be turned  over to the Administrative Agent and held as collateral security for the repayment of such  Borrower’s obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer.  At  any time when such Letters of Credit shall terminate and all liabilities of each Issuer with  respect to Letters of Credit issued by it are either terminated or paid or reimbursed to such  Issuer in full, the Liabilities of such Borrower under this Section shall be reduced  accordingly (subject, however, to reinstatement in the event any payment in respect of such  Letters of Credit is recovered in any manner from such Issuer), and, provided that no Event  of Default or Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default or Unmatured Event of  Default, as applicable, exists, the Administrative Agent will return to the Borrowers the  excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount deposited by the Borrowers with the  Administrative Agent and not theretofore applied to any Reimbursement Obligation of the  Borrowers over (b) the aggregate amount of all Reimbursement Obligations of the  Borrowers over pursuant to this Section, as so adjusted.  At such time when all Events of  Default shall have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall return to the  Borrowers all amounts then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this  Section.  To the extent any amounts on deposit pursuant to this Section shall, until their  application to any Reimbursement Obligation or their return to the Borrowers as the case  may be, bear interest, such interest shall be held by the Administrative Agent as additional  

 

45  744308279  collateral security for the repayment of the Borrowers’ Liabilities in connection with the  Letters of Credit.  (b) Cash Collateral and Defaulting Lender.  If any Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to either Borrower exist at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the  Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of delivery of written notice by the  Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize the amount of the Defaulting Lender’s  Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.  If the Borrowers are required to provide  an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), such cash collateral shall be  released and promptly returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent the amount  deposited shall exceed the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit  Outstandings, or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender.  If at any time the  Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of  any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount  of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations  secured thereby, such Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon  demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent  additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.  (c) Lien on Cash Collateral.  This Agreement sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral.  Each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative  Agent a security interest in all such cash, all deposit accounts into which such cash is  deposited, all balances in such accounts and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral  shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative  Agent.  (d) Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 5.8 or Sections 2.7, 5.2,  6.3, or 12.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of  the specific Letter of Credit Outstandings, obligations to fund participations therein  (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on  such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior  to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.  (e) Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the  elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto  (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as  appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 15.8(a))) or (ii) the  Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral;  provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by the Borrowers shall not be  released during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default and  (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuer, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 

 

46  744308279  5.9 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  Each Borrower shall assume all risks of the  acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by the  beneficiary thereof.  None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender (except to the  extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be responsible for:  (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application  for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all  respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;  (b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or  the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove  to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;  (c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;  (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile or otherwise; or  (e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds  thereof.  None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers  granted the Administrative Agent any Issuer or any Lender hereunder.  In furtherance and  extension, and not in limitation or derogation, of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be  taken by any Issuer in good faith shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall not put such Issuer  under any resulting liability to the Borrowers.  5.10 Increased Costs; Indemnity.  If by reason of (a) any Change in Law, or (b)  compliance by any Issuer or any Lender with any direction, request or requirement (whether or  not having the force of law) of any governmental or monetary authority, including Regulation D  of the FRB:  (i) any Issuer or any Lender shall be subject to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition  of Excluded Taxes and (C) other than in respect of Taxes on the overall net income  of such Lender or Issuer that are imposed as a result of such Lender or Issuer having  its principal office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax), levy, charge or  withholding of any nature or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with respect  to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5, whether  directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by such Issuer or any Lender;  (ii) any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuer or  participations therein purchased by any Lender; or  

 

47  744308279  (iii) there shall be imposed on any Issuer or any Lender any other condition regarding this Section 5, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;  and the result of the foregoing is directly or indirectly to increase the cost to such Issuer of issuing,  making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or the cost to such Lender of purchasing or maintaining  any participation therein, or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof by such Issuer or  such Lender, then and in any such case such Issuer or such Lender may, at any reasonable time  after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify the Borrowers thereof,  and the Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as such Lender  or each Issuer, may specify  to be necessary to compensate such Issuer or Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt.   The determination by such Issuer or Lender, as the case may be, of any amount due pursuant to  this Section, as set forth in a statement setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail,  shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and presumptively valid and binding on all of the  parties hereto.  In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 5, each  Borrower hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Lender  and each Issuer, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages,  losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of  internal counsel) which such Issuer or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence,  direct or indirect, of (x) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross  negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction,  or (y) the failure of such Issuer to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act  or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government  or Governmental Authority.  5.11 Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability.  Unless otherwise expressly  agreed by the applicable Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued  (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the ISP and the UCP at  the time of issuance shall apply to each Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuer  shall be responsible to either Borrower for, and no Issuer’s rights and remedies against such  Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of an Issuer required or permitted under any  law, order or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit issued for  the account of such Borrower or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction  where an Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable,  or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the ICC Banking  Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services  Association (BAFT-IFSA) or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or  not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.  SECTION 6. PAYMENTS, OFFSETS, PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OR  TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; INCREASE IN  COMMITMENTS.  6.1 Payments Generally.  Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments  hereunder (including payments with respect to the Loans) shall be made free and clear of and  without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off and shall be  made in coin or currency of the United States which at the time of payment shall be legal tender  for the payment of public and private debts in immediately available funds by the Borrowers to  

 

48  744308279  the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the unpaid principal  amounts of the Loans held by them.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent,  prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Administrative Agent’s Office or  at such other place as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers in writing.   Any payment received after 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next  Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to  each Lender or the applicable Issuer, as the case may be, its share of all such payments received  by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable.   Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a date  other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and  such extension of time shall be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees.  For  purposes of the imposition of any tax (other than taxes on net income and franchises), levy, charge  or withholding of any nature or any variation thereof or any penalty with respect to the maintenance  or fulfillment of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, whether directly or by such  being imposed on or suffered by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, all payments  hereunder shall be made from sources within the United States by the Borrowers.  Any payments  or prepayments to be applied to the outstanding amount of any Loans shall be applied to the Loans  held by the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders ratably (based upon the outstanding amount  of all Loans held by all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) until each Lender (including any  Defaulting Lender) has its Percentage of all of the outstanding amount of the Loans, and the  balance, if any, of such payments or prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Lenders in  accordance with their respective Percentages.  6.2 Prepayments.  (a) Mandatory.  If at any time the Letter of Credit Outstandings plus the principal amount of Loans exceeds the Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately  make a mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent (which shall be applied (or  held for application, as the case may be) by the Administrative Agent first to the aggregate  unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and then to the payment or Cash  Collateralization of the Letter of Credit Outstandings) in an amount sufficient to eliminate  such excess.  (b) Optional. (i) General Prepayments.  Each Borrower may from time to time (subject to the notice and minimum prepayment provisions set forth in this clause  (i)), upon prior written or telephonic notice received by the Administrative Agent  in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each  Lender thereof) by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)  at least three (3) Business Days  prior to any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and by 11:00 a.m. (New York  City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of Alternate Base  Rate Loans, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or in part without premium  or penalty; provided that (x) any partial prepayment of principal pursuant to this  clause (b)(i) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of  $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a  day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section  

 

49  744308279  7.5.  The applicable Borrower shall promptly confirm in writing any telephonic  notice of prepayment in writing.  (ii) Special Prepayments.  Either Borrower may from time to time prepay any Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.7.  Any prepayment of the  principal of the Loans pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall include accrued interest  to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid.  (c) Application.  Any prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct or, in the absence of  such direction: first, to any Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period ending on the date  of such prepayment, second, to any Alternate Base Rate Loans outstanding on such date,  and third, to such other Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine.  6.3 Reduction or Termination of Commitments.  (a) The Borrowers may from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise  each Lender thereof), permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount to an  amount that is not less than the sum of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings and all  other related Liabilities. Any such reduction shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or a higher  integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Borrowers may at any time on like notice terminate  the Commitments upon payment in full of the outstanding Loans and all other related  Liabilities and by replacing and surrendering all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit  issued for the Borrowers’ account or, at the applicable Issuers’ option, providing Cash  Collateral security for all Letter of Credit Outstandings in accordance with Section 5.8.  (b) Any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to clause (a) above shall be applied to the applicable Commitment of each Lender according to its Percentage.  6.4 Offset.  In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender  may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default  described in Section 12.1 or any Unmatured Event of Default described in Section 12.1(e) have  the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Liabilities owing to it (whether or not due)  any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Loan Parties then or thereafter  with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized  to permit such setoff, provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the  provisions of Section 6.5; provided, further, 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 2.7 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, the Lenders and the Issuers 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. 

 

50  744308279  6.5 Proration of Payments.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery  (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of any Loan or  Letter of Credit in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all  Lenders on account of all Loans and Letters of Credit (including after giving effect to the loss of  any payment or recovery by any other Lender), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders  such participations in the Loans and/or Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to  cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery pro rata with each of  them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter  recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price  restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the Lender from which such  payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender which is  required to restore such purchase price shall pay its pro rata share of such interest.  The Borrowers  agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders under this Section 6.5  may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right  of set-off pursuant to Section 6.4) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were  the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.  If under any applicable  bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff  to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in  respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under  this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.  6.6 [Reserved].  6.7 Increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount.  (a) The Borrowers may at any time (but not more than twice in any calendar quarter), by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent, request that the Aggregate  Commitment Amount be increased (a “Commitment Increase”) as of the date specified in  such letter (the “Increase Date”) by (i) increasing the Commitment of any Lender (an  “Increasing Lender”) that has agreed to such increase (it being understood that no Lender  shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 6.7) and/or  (ii) adding one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Additional Lender”) as parties hereto, in each case with a Commitment in the amount agreed to by such Additional Lender; provided that (A) the aggregate amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $500,000,000 during the term of this Agreement plus, after the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases is equal to $500,000,000, such additional amount that would not cause the Total Debt Ratio to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such Commitment Increase as though such Commitment Increase were fully drawn as of the date of calculation, (B) each Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and (C) the Commitment of each Additional Lender shall be $10,000,000 or more. (b) On each Increase Date, (x) each applicable Additional Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder and (y)  the Commitment of each applicable Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount  agreed by such Increasing Lender; provided that:  

 

51  744308279  (i) on such Increase Date, the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender a  certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower, dated such Increase  Date stating that: (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 are  true and correct on and as of such Increase Date, before and after giving effect to  the Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such Increase Date, (B) no  material adverse change has occurred since the date of the financial statements  most-recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and (C) no Event of Default or  Unmatured Event of Default exists;  (ii) on or before such Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated such Increase Date, for further distribution  to each Lender (including each Additional Lender): (A) certified copies of  resolutions of the board of directors of each Borrower approving the Commitment  Increase and any corresponding modifications to this Agreement; (B) such other  approvals or documents as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may  reasonably request in connection with such Commitment Increase; (C) a joinder  agreement from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably  satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent; and (D) written  confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its  Commitment hereunder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the  Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.  On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.7(b), the  Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Additional Lender) and the Lead  Borrower of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and  shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and  each Additional Lender on such date.  Each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender shall,  before 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its  applicable lending office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in  same day funds, an aggregate amount to be distributed to the other Lenders for the account of their  respective applicable lending offices such that, after giving effect to such distribution, each Lender  has a ratable share (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate  Commitment Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) of each outstanding  Borrowing.  Each Borrower acknowledges that, in order to maintain Borrowings in accordance  with each Lender’s ratable share thereof, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non- pro-rata increase in the aggregate Commitments may require prepayment of all or portions of  certain Borrowings on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the  provisions of Section 7.5).  SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO EURODOLLAR RATE  LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; TAXES.  7.1 Increased Cost.  If, as a result of any Change in Law:  (a) any tax is imposed on any Lender or Issuer or the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan is  

 

52  744308279  changed ((A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the  definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) other than in respect of Taxes on the overall net  income of such Lender or Issuer that are imposed as a result of such Lender or Issuer having  its principal office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax);  (b) any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,  any Lender are imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or  (c) any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan is imposed on any Lender or the interbank eurodollar markets;  and such Lender determines that, solely by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender of making,  converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any  such Loan) is increased, or the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect  of any of the Loans (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) is reduced, then the  Borrowers shall pay to such affected Lender upon written demand (which demand shall be  accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculation thereof but only to the extent  not theretofore provided to the Borrowers) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate  such Lender for such additional cost or reduction (provided such amount has not been compensated  for in the calculation of the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage).  Determinations by a Lender for  purposes of this Section of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect  of the foregoing shall be final and presumptively valid and binding on all of the parties hereto,  absent manifest error.  7.2 Deposits Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable.  (a) If prior to the first day of an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan the Majority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the  parties hereto) that (i) Dollar deposits, of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest  Period, are not available to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market (“Impacted  Loans”), (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar  Rate applicable to such Interest Period or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest  Period with respect to such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such  Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lead  Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain  Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the  instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice, and any notice of new or  continued Eurodollar Rate Loans previously given by the Borrowers and not yet borrowed,  converted or continued shall be deemed a notice to make, convert into or continue Alternate  Base Rate Loans.  (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a), if the Majority Lenders have made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 7.2(a), the Administrative Agent, in  consultation with the Lead Borrower and the Majority Lenders, may establish an alternative  interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case such alternative rate of interest shall  apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Majority Lenders revoke the notice  

 

53  744308279  delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section  7.2(a), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative  Agent and the Lead Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and  fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender  determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has  asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make,  maintain or fund Loans with an interest rate determined by reference to such alternative  rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any  Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender  to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower  written notice thereof.  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:  (i) On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public  statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next,  1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month U.S. dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of U.S dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis; or (ii) (x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (a) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that solely in the event that the then-current Benchmark at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent determines that neither of such alternative rates is available. 

 

54  744308279  (y) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes  hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such  Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or  further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan  Document.  (iii) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such  Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator  of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to  be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such  Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored,  the Lead Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or  continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest  by reference to such Benchmark until the Lead Borrower’s receipt of notice from  the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such  Benchmark, and, failing that, the Lead Borrower will be deemed to have converted  any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base  Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component  of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any  determination of Alternate Base Rate.  (iv) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,  any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming  Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other  party to this Agreement.  (v) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (B) the  effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (C) the  removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (vi)  below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the  Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.2, including any determination  with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence  of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking  any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made  in its  sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in  each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 7.2.  (vi) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate  (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any  tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark  

 

55  744308279  (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent  may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including  Benchmark Replacement) settings.  7.3 Changes in Law Rendering Eurodollar Rate Loans Unlawful.  If at any time due to  any new law, treaty or regulation, or any change of any existing law, treaty or regulation, or any  interpretation thereof by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the  administration thereof, or for any other reason arising subsequent to the date hereof, it is unlawful  for any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund, or charge interest  with respect to any Credit Extension or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the  Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority  of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market,  then the obligation of such Lender to issue, make, fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit  Extension or provide Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon the happening of such event, forthwith be  suspended for the duration of such illegality.  Upon receipt of such notice, each Borrower shall, if  required by such law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such notice,  either convert its affected Eurodollar Rate Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans or prepay such  Eurodollar Rate Loans (and all Eurodollar Rate Loans of all other Lenders which have the same  Interest Period).  7.4 Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or any Issuer shall determine at any time after the  date hereof that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuer or any lending office of such  Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuer’s 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 or such  Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company as a  consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer  or any holding company of such Lender or such Issuer could have achieved but for such Change  in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuer’s policies, and the policies of such  Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount  deemed by such Lender or such Issuer to be material, then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender  or such Issuer upon demand such amount or amounts, in addition to the amounts payable under  the other provisions of this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as will compensate  such Lender or such Issuer or any holding company of such Lender or such Issuer for such  reduction.  Any such demand by any Lender or any Issuer hereunder shall be in writing, and shall  set forth the reasons for such demand and copies of all documentation reasonably relevant in  support thereof.  Determinations by any Lender or any Issuer for purposes of this Section 7.4 of  the additional amount or amounts required to compensate such Lender or such Issuer in respect of  the foregoing shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount or  amounts, any Lender or any Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  7.5 Indemnity.  The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender  against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or expense  sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to  effect, fund or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by a Borrower to make any payment when  due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) any failure of a  Borrower to borrow on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof, (c) any payment or prepayment  (including any prepayment pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.7) of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date  

 

56  744308279  other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (d) any failure of a Borrower to continue  a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date specified in a notice of continuation or to convert an Alternate  Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date specified in a notice of conversion or (e) any  assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor  as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7.  Upon the written notice of a Lender  to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within five  (5) days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. 7.6 Discretion of the Lenders as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any provision  of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding  of all or any part of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it elects, it being understood, however,  that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if all Lenders  had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of Dollar  deposits having a maturity corresponding to the maturity of the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan  and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate (whether or not, in any instance, any  Lender shall have granted any participations in such Loan).  Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill  any commitment to make any Eurodollar Rate Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate to  make or continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan, provided that in such event such Loan shall be  deemed for the purposes of this Agreement to have been made by such Lender, and the obligation  of the Borrowers to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed  held by such Lender, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.  7.7 Special Prepayment; Replacement of Lender.  If any Lender makes any demand for  payment of any amount pursuant to Section 5.10, 7.1, 7.4 or 7.8, gives any notice pursuant to  Section 7.2 or 7.3 or is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the  Borrowers may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, either (i) reduce or  terminate the Commitments of such Affected Lender and immediately prepay the applicable  outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender (or all outstanding Liabilities owed to such  Affected Lender in the case of a termination) so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, such  Affected Lender has a pro rata share (based on its revised Percentage after giving effect to such  reduction) of the outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and/or  (ii) cause such Affected Lender to assign its Commitments, its Loans, its participations in Letters of Credit and its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more other Eligible Assignees (any such assignee, together with all Lenders other than such Affected Lender, the “Remaining Lenders”) selected by the Borrowers and acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any assignment made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be in accordance with Section 15.8 (but without giving effect to any provision of such Section which restricts the minimum or maximum amount which is permitted to be assigned). If any reduction or termination of any Affected Lender’s Commitment is made pursuant to  clause (i) above, then (A) the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount  equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitment so reduced or terminated, and (B) each  Remaining Lender’s (and, in the case of a reduction, such Affected Lender’s) share or percentage  of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, as so reduced, shall be deemed proportionately adjusted;  

 

57  744308279  it being understood that the amount of any Lender’s Commitment (as opposed to any Lender’s  share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount) shall not at any time be increased  without the consent of such Lender.  7.8 Loan Related Taxes.  (a) Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 7.8, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer.  (b) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either 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 the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers)  requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the  Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, then the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers,  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 Borrowers 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 7.8) the applicable recipient of such payment 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 Borrowers.  Each 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 Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount  of any Indemnified Taxes applicable to any Borrower (including Indemnified Taxes  imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.8) payable  or paid by such recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such  recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether  or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant  Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability  delivered to the Lead 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 the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified  Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already  indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the  obligation of each Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure  to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant  Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are  payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and  

 

58  744308279  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 clause (e).  (f) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 7.8, such 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 any return required  by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory  to the Administrative Agent.  (g) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall  deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably  requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and  executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative  Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced  rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower  or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by  applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative  Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine  whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information  reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding  two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation  (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.8(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)  below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such  completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material  unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or  commercial position of such Lender.  (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person:  (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a  Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such  Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such  Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;  

 

59  744308279  (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall  be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a  Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such  Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:  (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any  Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable)  establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to  the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments  under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing  an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business  profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;  (3) executed  copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (4) 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 F-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 a Borrower  within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign  corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance  Certificate”) and (y) executed  copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as  applicable); or  (5) 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-E (or W- 8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of  Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;  (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall  be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a  Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a  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 with-holding  Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by  applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding  or deduction required to be made; and  (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail  

 

60  744308279  to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in  Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower  and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times  reasonably requested by such 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 a Borrower or the Administrative  Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their  obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s  obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA  after the date of this Agreement.  (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 7.8 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in  any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such  Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on  behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes  withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.  If any recipient  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 by a Borrower or with respect to which a  Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.8, it shall pay to such  Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments  made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 7.8 with respect to  the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes)  incurred by such recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant  Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon  the request of the recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus  any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)  to the recipient in the event the recipient is required to repay such refund to such  Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in  no event will the applicable recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant  to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the recipient in a less favorable net  after-Tax position than such recipient 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 shall not be construed to require any  recipient to available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it  deems confidential) to a Borrower or any other Person.  (i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or  the replacement of, a Lender or Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the  repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Liabilities.  

 

61  744308279  7.9 Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation  under Section 7.1, or any Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or  additional amounts to any Lender or Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any  Lender or Issuer pursuant to Section 7.8, then such Lender or such Issuer shall (at the request of  the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking  its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,  branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or such Issuer, such designation or  assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.8,  as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or such Issuer, as the case  may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such  Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs  and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuer in connection with any such designation or  assignment.  SECTION 8. GUARANTY.  8.1 Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the  Administrative Agent the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by  required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the  Liabilities and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed  by a Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the  Liabilities.  The agreement of the Guarantor herein is a guaranty of payment and performance and  not merely as a guaranty of collection.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Liabilities shall include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may be or  hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding  or case commenced by or against Guarantor or a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, and shall  include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Borrowers of any  proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in connection with this Agreement (including all  renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all attorneys’  fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the  collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof).  8.2 No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments.  Guarantor shall make all payments  hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes,  levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or  conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political  subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law  to make such deduction or withholding.  If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect  to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lenders) is imposed upon Guarantor  with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, Guarantor will pay to each Lender, on the date  on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as  shall be necessary to enable such Lender to receive the same net amount which such Lender would  have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Guarantor.  Guarantor  will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes  or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Guarantor hereunder.   The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the  Liabilities and termination of this Agreement.  

 

62  744308279  8.3 Rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  Guarantor consents and agrees  that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without  notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:  (a)  amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for  payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive,  release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement  or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the  Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine.  Without limiting the generality of the  foregoing, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any  manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this  provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor.  8.4 Certain Waivers.  The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a)  any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or the cessation  from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative  Agent) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that Guarantor’s  obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any  statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the  Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust  any security for the Liabilities, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any  Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or  of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or  hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f) any fact or circumstance related to  the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under  this Agreement; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits  that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating  guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and  the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement, have been indefeasibly paid  in full in cash.  Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for  payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest,  notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect  to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this guaranty or of the existence, creation or  incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The guaranty of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be  affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Liabilities or any  instrument or agreement evidencing any Liabilities, or by the existence, validity, enforceability,  perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance  relating to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of  Guarantor under this guaranty, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now  have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.  8.5 Obligations Independent.  The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of  primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against Guarantor  to enforce this guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a  party.  

 

63  744308279  8.6 Subrogation.  Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution,  indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this  guaranty until all of the Liabilities and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been  indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided  by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated.  If any amounts are paid to Guarantor  in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of  the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the  Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured.  8.7 Termination; Reinstatement.  This guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable  guaranty of all Liabilities now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until  all Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in  cash and any commitments of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of them or facilities  provided by the Lenders or any of them with respect to the Liabilities are terminated.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived,  as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made, or the  Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Liabilities and  such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,  declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement  entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,  receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or  otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether  or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender is in possession of or has released this guaranty  and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of  Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.  8.8 Subordination.  Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and  indebtedness of any Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising,  including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this  Section 8, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Liabilities.  If the Administrative Agent  so requests while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation or  indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by  Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall  be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Liabilities, but without reducing or  affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Section 8.  8.9 Stay of Acceleration.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any  of the Liabilities is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party  under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by  Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent.  8.10 Miscellaneous.  The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records  showing the amount of the Liabilities shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding,  and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error for the purpose of  establishing the amount of the Liabilities. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender  to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a  

 

64  744308279  waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder  preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.   The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law  or in equity.  The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this guaranty shall not affect  the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.  8.11 Condition of Borrowers.  Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole  responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower such information  concerning the financial condition, business and operations of each Borrower as Guarantor  requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and Guarantor is not  relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any  information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the  Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose  such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).  SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and make  Loans and participate in Letters of Credit and to induce each Issuer to issue Letters of Credit  hereunder, each Loan Party represents and warrants on behalf of itself and its Restricted  Subsidiaries that:  9.1 Existence.  Each Loan Party and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries are duly  organized, validly existing and in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the  jurisdiction of its organization, except where the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing  and in good standing, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse  Effect.  Each Loan Party and all of its respective Subsidiaries are each in good standing (or its  equivalent) and are duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature  of their respective activities or properties, failure to be in such good standing or so qualified would  have a Material Adverse Effect.  9.2 Authorization.  Each Loan Party has the power and is duly authorized to execute  and deliver this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.  The execution,  delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan  Documents to which it is a party, and the borrowings hereunder, do not and will not require any  consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or authority, shareholder or any other Person,  which has not already been obtained.  Each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has  the power, right and legal authority to own and operate its properties and carry on its business as  now conducted and proposed to be conducted.  9.3 No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not present a  material conflict with, or constitute a material breach of, or default under (i) any provision of law,  (ii) the charter or by-laws of such Loan Party, (iii) any material agreement or instrument binding upon such Loan Party, or (iv) any court or administrative order or decree applicable to such Loan Party, and do not and will not require, or result in, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries. 

 

65  744308279  9.4 Validity and Binding Effect.  This Agreement, the Notes and other Loan  Documents when duly executed and delivered will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of the  Loan Parties that are party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Parties in accordance with their  respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other  similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general  principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.  9.5 No Default.  Each Loan Party represents that, as of the date hereof, no Event of  Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  9.6 [Reserved].  9.7 Litigation and Contingent Liabilities.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.7, there  are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge,  threatened in writing that with respect to (a) any Loan Document or (b) any other matter as to  which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and, if adversely determined,  either individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.  9.8 Title; Liens.  Each Loan Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries have good, legal and  marketable title to each of their respective assets, and none of such assets is subject to any Lien,  except for Permitted Liens and such defects in titles would not, individually or in the aggregate,  have a Material Adverse Effect.  9.9 Subsidiaries.  As of the Restatement Effective Date, the Loan Parties have no  Subsidiaries except as listed on Schedule 9.9, and the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries own the  percentage of such Subsidiaries as set forth on Schedule 9.9.  All equity interests in each Loan  Party’s respective Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and are non-assessable.  9.10 Partnerships; Limited Liability Companies.  As of the Restatement Effective Date,  no Loan Party nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a partner, member or joint venturer in any  partnership, limited liability company or joint venture with any Person unaffiliated with the Loan  Parties or any Subsidiaries other than the partnerships, limited liability companies and joint  ventures, if any, listed on Schedule 9.10.  9.11 Purpose.  The proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrowers for working  capital, for the refinancing of existing Indebtedness and for its purchase of Container Equipment  and for general corporate purposes (including the payment of dividends to its shareholders).  The  Standby Letters of Credit shall be used by the Borrowers for general corporate purposes.  The  Commercial Letters of Credit shall be used by the Borrowers in connection with the sale or  shipment of Container Equipment purchased by the Borrowers in the ordinary course of each  Borrower’s business.  9.12 Margin Regulations.  Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries are engaged in  the business of purchasing or selling “margin stock”, as such term is defined in Regulation U of  the FRB, or extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and  no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or for any  other purpose which would violate any of Regulation T, U or X of the FRB.  

 

66  744308279  9.13 Compliance.

82  744308279  Cash Collateral in an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Outstandings.  Without limiting the  foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2, if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent  may exercise all rights and remedies available upon an Event of Default pursuant to any Loan  Document and applicable law.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lead  Borrower of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such  declaration.  12.3 Application of Funds.

SECTION 13. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  13.1 Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby  irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder  and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions  on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms  hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The  provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and  the Issuers, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such  provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein  

 

83  744308279  or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative 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.  13.2 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent.  Each Lender and the Issuers  acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or  any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as  it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.   Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance  upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on  such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make  its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other  Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  13.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or  obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties  hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Administrative Agent:  (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;  (b) 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 the Administrative Agent is required to  exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage  of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),  provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its  opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent 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 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;  (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,  any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Related Parties that is  communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of  its Affiliates in any capacity;  (d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders  as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be  necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 15.2 and 12.2) or (ii) in the  absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent  

 

84  744308279  shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of  Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of  Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Loan Party, a Lender or an  Issuer; and  (e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made 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, (iii) the  performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or  conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or  Unmatured 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 (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein,  other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the  Administrative Agent.  (f) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the  provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Persons.  Without limiting the  generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain,  monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or  Participant is a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out  of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to  any Disqualified Person.  13.4 Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder  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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or  “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,  include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such  Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the  financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business  with a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were  not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  13.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative 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 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.  The Administrative Agent also may rely  upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the  proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance  with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or  increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or  an Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender  or such Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such  

 

85  744308279  Lender or such Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.   The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a 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.  13.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may at any  time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Lead Borrower.  Upon receipt  of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with  the Lead Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United  States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor  shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment  within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or  such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”),  then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders  and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth  above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting  Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective  in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.  (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent  permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Lead Borrower and such Person  remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Lead Borrower,  appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority  Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier  day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such  removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal  Effective Date.  (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged  from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2)  except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed  Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be  made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender  and each Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor  Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s  appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and  become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or  removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.7 and other than any  rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed  Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date,  as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from  all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not  already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the  Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its  predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the  

 

86  744308279  retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under  the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 15.5 shall continue  in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents  and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken  by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as  Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them  continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including  in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor  Administrative Agent.  (d) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuer.  If Bank of America resigns as  Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder  with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as  an Issuer and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect thereto, including the right to  require the Lenders to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unpaid  and outstanding Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5.  Upon the  appointment of a successor Issuer hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and  become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer,  (ii) the retiring Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. 13.7 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its  duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or  through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative  Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and  powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section  shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any  such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of  the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The  Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent  except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable  judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the  selection of such sub-agent.  13.8 No other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the  Joint Lead Arrangers, Book Runner, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent listed on the  cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of  the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a  Lender or an Issuer hereunder.  13.9 Funding Reliance.  

 

87  744308279  (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of  any Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on  the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative  Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that  such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(c)  (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made  such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.4(c)) and  may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding  amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable  Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the  Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on  demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon,  for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to 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 the Administrative  Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any  administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent  in connection with the foregoing and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the  Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and  such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an  overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Lead Borrower  the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its  share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid  shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by a  Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender  that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for  the account of the Lenders or the Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such  payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such  payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,  distribute to the Lenders or the Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due.  With respect  to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the  Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination  shall be conclusive if made in good faith and absent manifest error) that any of the  following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the  Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a  payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or  (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, 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. 

 

88  744308279  (c) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 13.9 shall be conclusive, absent manifest  error.  13.10 Administrative Agent may File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any  proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or other judicial proceeding relative to a Loan Party or  any of their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the  principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation 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 such Loan Party) 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, Reimbursement Obligations and all other  Liabilities that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary  or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative  Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and  advances of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective  agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers and the  Administrative Agent under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 15.5) allowed in such judicial  proceeding; and  (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;  and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in  any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuer 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 and the Issuers, to pay to the Administrative  Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of  the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative  Agent under Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 15.5.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to  authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuer any plan of  reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Liabilities 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.  13.11 Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders and the Issuers irrevocably authorize the  Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to take the actions with respect to the  guaranty by the Guarantor as are set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement. Upon approval by the  Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent may release the Guarantor from its obligations under  Section 8.  In each case as specified in this Section 13.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the  Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the Lead Borrower such documents as may  reasonably be requested to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under Section  8, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 13.11.

90  744308279  party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of  doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary  with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into,  participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the  Commitments, and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or  exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan  Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).  13.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this  Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any  Lender or Issuer, whether or not in respect of any Liabilities due and owing by a Borrower at such  time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender or Issuer,  as applicable, receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative  Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender or Issuer, as  applicable, in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for  each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding  the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, 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. Each Lender and Issuer irrevocably waives any and all defenses,  including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain  funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to  its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount.  The Administrative Agent shall inform each  Lender or Issuer promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender or Issuer  comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. SECTION 14. RESTATEMENT OF EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT.  14.1 Restatement; Reallocation.

On the Restatement Effective Date, each Exiting Lender shall  cease to be a “Lender” under and for all purposes of the Existing Credit Agreement as amended  and restated by this Agreement and shall have no rights or obligations thereunder, except for (a)  rights to receive payment of indemnities, reimbursements and other similar amounts from the  Borrowers (including rights under Section 15.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement), and (b)  obligations to indemnify, reimburse or make payment to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or  the Borrowers with respect to actions, failures to act, conditions, circumstances or events on or  prior to the date of such effectiveness.  14.3 Non-Recourse to Original Lenders; No Warranty or Representations; Independent  Credit Analysis.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided  under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers  and privileges provided by law.

This Section  15.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,  claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

This Agreement, the Notes  and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with  respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with  respect thereto.  15.7 Successors and Assigns.  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 no Loan Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations  hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender; and no  Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an  assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.8, (ii) by way of participation in  accordance with the provisions of Section 15.10, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a  security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.11 (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 Section 15.10 and,  to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative  Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this  Agreement.  15.8 Assignments by Lenders.  (a) Assignments by Lenders.  Any 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 its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in  Letters of Credit) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be  subject to the following conditions:  (i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case  of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need  be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 15.8,  the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to  each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption  with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the  “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date),  shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so  long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower,  otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);  

 

98  744308279  (ii) [reserved]; (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuers (which shall not be  unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent that such assignment is to a Person  other than another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, and the consent of the Lead  Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be  required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time  of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender,  provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such  assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative  Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof;  (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing  and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, provided, however, that the  Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and  recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Eligible Assignee, if it shall not  be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative  Questionnaire;  (v) no such assignment shall be made (A) to a Borrower or any Affiliate of or Subsidiary of a Borrower or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its  Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would  constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); and  (vi) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the  primary benefit of a natural Person).  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause  (b) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.5, 7.8 and 15.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  If requested by the assignee Lender, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) below. 

 

99  744308279  (b) Disqualified Persons. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no portion of any Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a Disqualified  Person as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into  a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and  obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the applicable Increase Date,  as the case may be (unless the Borrowers in their sole and absolute discretion have  consented, in writing, to such assignment or the portion of the Commitment  Increase to be provided by such Disqualified Person, in which case such Person  will not be considered a Disqualified Person for the purpose of such assignment,  participation or Commitment Increase).  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect  to any assignee or participant or Lender that provides any portion of a Commitment  Increase that becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date  (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration  of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Person”), (x) such  assignee or Lender shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender  or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and  Assumption or Joinder Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself  result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Person. Any  assignment or Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (b)(i) shall not be  void, but the other provisions of this clause (b)(i) shall apply.  (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to, or any portion of a Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Person without the  Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person  becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may,  at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person  and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified  Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified  Person in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified  Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to  the restrictions contained in this Section 15.8), all of its interest, rights and  obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more  Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the  principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to  acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest,  accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it  hereunder and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Administrative  Agent shall have been paid the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section  15.8(a)(iv) and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.  (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Persons (A) will not (x) have the right to receive  information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the  Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings  attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic  

 

100  744308279  site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or  financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for  purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action  under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any  Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this  Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Person will be deemed  to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified  Persons consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of  reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of  Reorganization”), each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to  vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Person does vote on  such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause  (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated”  pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in  any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining  whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization  in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar  provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by  any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of  competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).  (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of  Disqualified Persons provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time  to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the  Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to  each Lender requesting the same.  (c) Assignment by Bank of America. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitments and Loans  pursuant to clause (a) above, Bank of America may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the  Lead Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an Issuer.  In the event of any such resignation  as an Issuer, and if there are no other Issuers at the time of such resignation, the Lead  Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve in such  capacity a successor Issuer hereunder; provided that no failure by the Lead Borrower to  appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as an Issuer.  If  Bank of America resigns as an Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and  duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are  outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all Reimbursement  Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans  that are Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Letters of Credit pursuant  to Section 5.4).  Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer, (i) such successor shall  succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the  retiring Issuer, as the case may be, and (ii) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit  in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by Bank of America that are  outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank  

 

101  744308279  of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such  Letters of Credit.  (d) 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 Lead 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, any Issuer or any Lender  hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full  pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its  Percentage.  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 paragraph, then the assignee of such  interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until  such compliance occurs.  15.9 Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of  the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain a copy of each  Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a  register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,  and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings owing  to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the  Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent  and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the  terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be  available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time  to time upon reasonable prior notice.  15.10 Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,  the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to (w) a  natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for  the primary benefit of a natural Person, (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) or a Borrower or any  Affiliate  or Subsidiary of a Borrower or (z) a Disqualified Person) (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 its  Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit  Outstandings) 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 other parties hereto for  the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Participant shall be bound by Section 15.20, and  (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under 

 

102  744308279  this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity  under Section 15.5 without regard to the existence of any participation.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide  that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any  amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such  agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the  Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification,  or waiver with respect to Sections 15.2(a)(i) or 15.2(a)(iii) which affects such Participant. The  Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.8  (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and  had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.8; provided that such Participant  (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.9 as if it were an assignee under Section 15.8 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.1 or 7.8, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.9 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.5 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 4f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 15.11 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.  Any Lender may at any time  pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement  (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or  assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank or any  other applicable central bank or Governmental Authority; provided, that no such pledge or  assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such  pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  15.12 Survival.  The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7 and 15.5, and the  obligations of the Lenders under Section 15.5(c), shall in each case survive any termination of this  

 

103  744308279  Agreement, the payment in full of all Liabilities and the termination of all Commitments.  The  representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other Loan  Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan  Document.  15.13 Effect of Amendment and Restatement.  (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and, upon the effectiveness hereof, all  obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations  of the Borrowers hereunder, and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be  superseded by the provisions hereof.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement  by any Loan Party or any Lender, nor any of the terms or provisions contained herein, shall  be construed to be a novation of, or payment on or with respect to, the Indebtedness  outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement.  (b) Upon the Restatement Effective Date, the Commitment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of each Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)  that does not have a Commitment set forth on Schedule I hereto shall be terminated, and  each such Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be released from any  obligations as a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (provided for the  avoidance of doubt that any obligations of any such lender under the Existing Credit  Agreement which by their express terms are deemed to survive any such release or  termination shall survive). When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been  lodged with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed  counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Administrative Agent shall have received  facsimile or other written confirmation from such Lender) and all of the conditions set forth  in Section 11 shall have been satisfied, this Agreement shall become effective as of the  date hereof, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and  each Lender.  (c) The Loan Parties, the Lenders that are party to the Existing Credit Agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent under the Existing Credit  Agreement, acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the  Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this  Agreement, and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except that any  provision thereof which by its terms survives termination thereof shall continue in full force  and effect for the benefit of the applicable party or parties), all without any other action by  any Person.  15.14 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  

 

104  744308279  any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.14, if and to  the extent that the enforceability of any provision in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders  shall be limited by any Debtor Relief Law, as determined in good faith by the Administrative  Agent or an Issuer, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the  extent not so limited.  15.15 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed  by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but  all such counterparts shall constitute together but one and the same Agreement.  Delivery of a  counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be  effective as delivery of a manually-executed original counterpart hereof.  15.16 Investment.  Each Lender represents and warrants that: (a) it is acquiring any Note  to be issued to it hereunder for its own account as a result of making a loan in the ordinary course  of its commercial banking business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof,  nor with any present intention of selling or distributing such Note, but subject, nevertheless, to  possible assignments or participations thereof pursuant to Section 15.8 and to any legal or  administrative requirement that the disposition of such Lender’s property at all times be within its  control, and (b) in good faith it has not and will not rely upon any margin stock (as such term is  defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the making and maintaining of its Loans.  15.17 Other Transactions.  Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative  Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by  this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with either Borrower or any of their respective  Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with  any other Person.  15.18 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.  ANY LITIGATION BASED  HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT  OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF  DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUER, ANY LENDER OR THE LOAN PARTIES  SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE  STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE  SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.  EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND  IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF  NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN  DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET  FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT  RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION.  EACH LOAN  PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY  REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR  WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY  AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY  OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE  OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE  AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN  

 

105  744308279  INCONVENIENT FORUM.  TO THE EXTENT THAT A LOAN PARTY HAS OR  HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT  OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE,  ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR  OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH LOAN PARTY  HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS  OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  15.19 Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE  LENDERS AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND  INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN  RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN  CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY  COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL  OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE  LENDERS OR A LOAN PARTY.  EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES  THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS  PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO  WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT  FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING  INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.  15.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative  Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as  defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and to  its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties (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 required or requested by any governmental regulatory  authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it and its Related Parties (including any self- regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the  extent required by applicable laws or regulations 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 Eligible Assignee  of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or  obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related  Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by  reference to the applicable Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder,  (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Lead Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of 

 

106  744308279  this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service  providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the  Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and  the Commitments.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information of a non-public,  confidential and proprietary nature received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating  to such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any  such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer on a  nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries.  Any Person  required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.  The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledge that (a) the  Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary,  as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non- public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with  applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.  15.21 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds  the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds  such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest contracted  for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate,  such Person 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  hereunder.  15.22 Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower  is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any  Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff  or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside  or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such  Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in  connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent  of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived  and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not  occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent  upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid  by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such  payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.   

 

107  744308279  The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall  survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.  15.23 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each  transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other  modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees  that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the  Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial  transactions between such Loan Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative  Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) such Loan Party has  consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed  appropriate, and (C) such Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the  terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan  Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers 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  such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative  Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to such Loan Party or any of  its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations  expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent,  the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a  broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Loan Party and its  Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender has any  obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Loan Party or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent  permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against  the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each of the Lenders with respect to any  breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any  transaction contemplated hereby.  15.24 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  This  Agreement, any other Loan Document (including any Note) and any other Communication,  including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record  and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.  The Loan Parties and each of the Administrative  Agent and each Lender and Issuer agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any  Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original  signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the  legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance  with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was  delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or  convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and  the same Communication.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may  include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which  has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically  signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers may, at its option,  create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record  (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s  

 

108  744308279  business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an  Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes,  and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Loan Parties nor the Administrative Agent  or any Lender or Issuer is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in  any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it;  provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Loan Parties, the  Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the  Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers shall be entitled to rely  on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower and/or any  Lender or Issuer without further verification and (b) upon the request of any of the Loan Parties,  the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly  followed by such manually executed counterpart.  Neither the Loan Parties nor the Administrative Agent or Issuer shall be responsible for or  have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or  genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including,  for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or Issuer’s reliance on  any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The  Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and Issuer shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no  liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any  Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website  posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it  orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise  authenticated by the proper Person.  The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer hereby waives (i)  any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this  Agreement and any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this  Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative  Agent, each Lender or Issuer and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the  Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s or Issuer’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures,  including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available  security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic  Signature, in each case, in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as  determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  15.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement,  arrangement or understanding among any the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that  any liability of any Lender that is an Affected 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 applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and  acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion  Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may  be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any  Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or  

 

109  744308279  cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares  or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent 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 the  applicable Resolution Authority.  15.26 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan  Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Interest Rate Agreement or  any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each  such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the  resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit  Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act  (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in  respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable  notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be  governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of  the United States):  (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution  Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support  (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit  Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit  Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would  be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC  Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by  the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party  or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S.  Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might  otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised  against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such  Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the  Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States  or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and  agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in  no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any  QFC Credit Support.  (b) As used in this Section 15.26, the following terms have the following meanings:  “BHC Act Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person an “affiliate” (as such term  is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such  Person.  

 

110  744308279  “Covered Entity” means any of the following:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is  defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a  “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12  C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted  in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.  “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and  shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(a) Loan Requests.  The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent  notice by (x) telephone (promptly confirmed in writing substantially in the form of  Exhibit C (a “Loan Request”)) or (y) by delivering a Loan Request, not later than 11:00  a.m. at least (i) three (3) Business Days (or such later date agreed to by the  

 

28  744308325  Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders) prior to the requested Funding Date or, in  the case of a continuation or conversion, the continuation or conversion date, as  applicable, in the instance of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans (or continuation or  conversion, as applicable) or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding  Date in the instance of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, of each requested Borrowing,  and the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Lender of its receipt of such  Loan Request; provided, that each such Loan Request shall be in a minimum amount of  Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000).  Each Loan Request from the Lead Borrower to the  Administrative Agent shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing requested  (or continued or converted, as applicable), (ii) the Type of Loans being borrowed,  continued or converted, as applicable, and (iii) if such Borrowing, continuation or  conversion is of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto (subject to  the limitations set forth in the definition of Interest Period).  Any Loan Request not  specifying the Type of Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of LIBOR  Rate Loans.  The Lead Borrower shall make no more than four (4) Borrowings during the  Availability Period.  (b) Funding of Administrative Agent.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the  Funding Date of each Borrowing, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent at  the Administrative Agent’s Office (or such other place as the Administrative Agent shall  designate from time to time) with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s  Percentage of such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall pay over such funds to  the Lead Borrower upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents, if any,  required under Section 11 with respect to such Loan and provided all of the conditions  precedent to the funding of the requested Loans have been satisfied.  2.4 Continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans.  Subject to Section 2.2, each LIBOR Rate  Loan shall automatically continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan on the last day of the current Interest  Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period of equivalent duration, unless paid in  full on such last day, or unless one or more of the conditions in Section 7.2 are in effect, in which  case such LIBOR Rate Loan shall convert into a Base Rate Loan, to begin on the last day of such  current Interest Period.  Each continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be pro-rated among the  applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders.  2.5 Maturity of Loans.

The obligations of each Lender hereunder to  make its Loan and to make payments pursuant to this Agreement are several and not joint.  The  failure of any Lender to make its Loan or to make any payment under this Agreement 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 or to make its payment under this Agreement.

Any  additional Loan will amortize at the same annual rate of amortization as the Loans that  are in effect when such additional Loan is funded.  Such annual rate of amortization on  the initial Loan will be calculated by comparing the annual aggregate scheduled principal  payments of the initial Loan to the unpaid principal balance of such initial Loan at the  time the additional Loan is funded.  (b) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period  whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount  equal to, greater than or less than its applicable Percentage of such requested increase.   Any Lender that fails to respond within such time period shall be deemed to have  declined to increase its Commitment.  (c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender  of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of  a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which  approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Lead Borrower  may also invite one or more Eligible Assignees to become parties hereto as Lenders  (each, an “Additional Lender”).

(e) As a condition precedent to any Commitment Increase:  (i) the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a  certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower dated as of the  Increase Effective Date, stating that, with respect to the Borrower: (A) the  

 

30  744308325  representations and warranties contained in Section 9 are true and correct on and  as of such Increase Effective Date, before and after giving effect to the  Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such Increase Effective Date,  (B) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the date of the financial  statements most-recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.1(a), (C) no Unmatured  Event of Default or Event of Default exists before or after giving effect to such  additional Loan and (D) the Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with all  covenants set forth in Sections 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 hereof; and  (ii) on or before such Increase Effective Date, the Administrative  Agent shall have received, for further distribution to each Lender (including each  Additional Lender) a joinder agreement dated as of such Increase Effective Date  from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably  satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  (f) On each Increase Effective Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set  forth in Section 2.8(e), (i) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including  each Additional Lender) and the Lead Borrower of the occurrence of the Commitment  Increase to be effected on such Increase Effective Date, (ii) each applicable Additional  Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with the rights and obligations of a  “Lender” hereunder, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the  relevant information with respect to each Additional Lender on such date and (iv)  Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect the applicable Commitment Increase.   Each Additional Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the Increase Effective Date, make  available for the account of its applicable lending office to the Administrative Agent at  the Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, an aggregate amount to be  distributed to the other Lenders for the account of their respective applicable lending  offices such that, after giving effect to such distribution, each Lender has a ratable share  (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitment  Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) of the Loans.  The Principal  Payment Amounts for each Payment Date shall be increased to reflect this Commitment  Increase as necessary based on the amortization schedule provided by the Borrowers  pursuant to Section 2.8(a).  Each Borrower acknowledges that, in order to maintain the  Loans in accordance with each Lender’s ratable share thereof, a reallocation of the  Commitments as a result of a non-pro rata increase in the Aggregate Commitment  Amount may require prepayment of all or portions of the Loans on the date of such  increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.2).  SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF LOANS.  (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more  accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the  ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative  Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the  Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any  failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect  the obligation of either Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the  

 

31  744308325  Liabilities.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by  any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such  matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence  of manifest error.  (b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,  the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative  Agent) a Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or  records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date,  Type and amount of each of its Loans, the Interest Period therefor (if applicable) and  payments with respect thereto.  SECTION 4. PRINCIPAL PAYMENT AMOUNTS, INTEREST AND FEES.  4.1 Principal Payment Amounts.  On each Principal Payment Date during the term  of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to the Principal  Payment Amount.  The aggregate principal balances of the Loans, together with accrued interest  thereon and all other amounts owed by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the Loan  Documents, shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the scheduled Maturity Date and  (ii) the date on which the Liabilities have been declared payable in accordance with the  provisions of Section 12.2 hereto.  4.2 Interest.  Subject to Section 4.3 and Section 7.7,  (a) Base Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal of the Base Rate Loans shall bear  interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate in  effect from time to time plus (ii) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time,  payable on each Payment Date and at maturity.  (b) LIBOR Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal of the LIBOR Rate Loans shall  bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate  in effect for each applicable Interest Period plus (ii) the Applicable Margin in effect from  time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity.  (c) Maximum Interest Rate.  The amount of interest charged on the Loans  shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.21 hereto.  4.3 Default Interest.  The Borrowers shall pay interest on any amount of principal  of any Loan which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or  otherwise, after as well as before judgment, accruing from the date such amount shall have  become due to the date of payment thereof in full at the Default Rate.  Interest after maturity  shall be payable on demand.  4.4 Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,  for their own respective accounts, on (i) the Closing Date the fees described in the Fee Letter,  and (ii) on the first Principal Payment Date, the Unused Fee, if any.  

 

32  744308325  4.5 Method of Calculating Interest and Fees.  Interest calculated based on the  Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case  may be, and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first  day thereof to the last day thereof.  All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a  year consisting of 360 days and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable  period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.  SECTION 5. DEFAULTING LENDERS.  5.1 Defaulting Lenders.  (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  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:  (i) Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to  approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this  Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of “Majority Lenders”  and Section 14.2.  (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest,  fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of  such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to  Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a  Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be applied at such time or times  as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the  payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative  Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Potential  Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which  such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this  Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, so long as no  Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing  to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction  obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such  Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to  such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent  jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal  amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully  funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or at a time when the  conditions specified in Section 11.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall  be applied solely to pay the Loans of, owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a  pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, owed to, such  Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans to Non-Defaulting Lenders are in  proportion to its Percentage. 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 and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  

 

33  744308325  (b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Lead 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 specified 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 and funded to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with the  Commitments under the applicable Facility, 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 either Borrower while that Lender  was a Defaulting Lender; and 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.  SECTION 6. PAYMENTS, OFFSETS, PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OR  TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS.  6.1 Payments Generally.  Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all  payments hereunder (including payments with respect to the Loans) shall be made without set- off or counterclaim and shall be made in coin or currency of the United States which at the time  of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in immediately  available funds by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro  rata according to the unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them.  All such payments  shall be made to the Administrative Agent, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date due at the  Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place as may be designated by the Administrative  Agent to the Borrowers in writing.  Any payment received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed  received on the next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in  immediately available funds to each Lender its share of all such payments received by the  Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.  Whenever any payment to be made  hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a date other than a Business Day, such  payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be  included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees.  For purposes of the imposition of  any tax (other than taxes on net income and franchises), levy, charge or withholding of any  nature or any variation thereof or any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of  the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, whether directly or by such being imposed on  or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, all payments hereunder shall be made  from sources within the United States by the Borrowers.  Any payments or prepayments to be  applied to the outstanding amount of any Loans shall be applied to the Loans held by the Lenders  that are not Defaulting Lenders ratably (based upon the outstanding amount of all Loans held by  all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) until each Lender (including any Defaulting Lender)  has its Percentage of all of the outstanding amount of the Loans, and the balance, if any, of such  payments or prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Lenders in accordance with their  respective Percentages.  6.2 Prepayments.  

 

34  744308325  (a) [Reserved].  (b) Optional.  (i) General Prepayments.  Each Borrower may from time to time  (subject to the notice and minimum prepayment provisions set forth in this  clause (i)), upon prior written or electronic notice, in the form attached as Exhibit  G hereto, received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each  Lender thereof, in any case not later than one (1) Business Day after the  Administrative Agent has received the notice) at least three (3) Business Days  prior to any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to  any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole  or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) any partial prepayment of  principal pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000  and (y) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of  an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 7.3.    (ii) Special Prepayments.  Either Borrower may from time to time  prepay without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 7.3, any Loan  pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.5.  Any prepayment of the principal of the  Loans pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall include accrued interest to the date of  prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid.  (c) Prepayments Generally; Application.  (i) Any prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above shall be  applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct or, in the absence of  such direction: first, to any LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period ending on  the date of such prepayment, second, to any Base Rate Loans outstanding on such  date, and third, to such other Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably  determine.  (ii) Each prepayment under this Section 6.2 shall be made together  with accrued interest and any additional amount which is payable pursuant to  Section 7.1, Section 7.3 or otherwise hereunder.  (iii) Each prepayment under this Section 6.2 shall be applied to reduce  all remaining scheduled Principal Payment Amounts (including the Principal  Payment Amount due on the Maturity Date) by a fraction, stated as a percentage,  the numerator of which is the amount of such prepayment and the denominator of  which is equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Loans immediately  prior to such prepayment.  (iv) Each Borrower shall promptly confirm in writing any telephonic  notice of prepayment in writing.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify  each Lender of its receipt of any notice of a prepayment and of the amount of  such Lender’s prepayment, in any case at the latest one Business Day after the  Administrative Agent has received notice thereof.  

 

35  744308325  (v) For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment of any portion of the  principal balances of the Loans may be reborrowed by the Borrowers.  6.3 Offset.  In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any  Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of  Default described in Section 12.1 or any Unmatured Event of Default described in  Section 12.1(c), have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Liabilities owing to  it (whether or not due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Loan  Parties then or thereafter with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, and each such Affiliate is  hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff, provided that any such appropriation and  application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4.  6.4 Proration of Payments.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other  recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of  any Loan in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders  on account of all Loans (including after giving effect to the loss of any payment or recovery by  any other Lender), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the  Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess  payment or other recovery pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the  excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the  purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but  without interest unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay  interest thereon, in which case each Lender which is required to restore such purchase price shall  pay its pro rata share of such interest.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a  participation from the other Lenders under this Section 6.4 may, to the fullest extent permitted by  law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off pursuant to Section 6.3) with  respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers  in the amount of such participation.  If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other  similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies,  such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in  a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the  benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.  6.5 [Reserved].  SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO EURODOLLAR RATE  LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; TAXES.  7.1 Increased Cost.  (a) Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:  (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,  compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,  deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any  Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);  

 

36  744308325  (ii) subject any Recipient 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,  letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other  liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or  (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other  condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans  made by such Lender or participation therein;  and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such  other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of  maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender,  or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other  Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon  request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other  Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate  such Lender or the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such  additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  (b) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law  affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the  Issuing Lender’s 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 such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement,  the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, to a level below that which such  Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in  Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s  holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers  will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such  Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  (c) Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the  amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the  case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the  Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such  Lender 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 any Lender Issuing  Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of  such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not  be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs  incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such  Lender, notifies the Borrowers 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  

 

37  744308325  the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of  retroactive effect thereof).  7.2 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not  Available; LIBOR Undesirable.  (a) Unascertainable.  If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise  be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:  (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such  LIBOR Rate, or  (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects  the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the LIBOR Rate,  then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 7.2(c).  (b) Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.  If at any time any  Lender shall have determined that:  (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which the  LIBOR Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by  compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or  application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any  such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or  (ii) such LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to  such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or  (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount  in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to  which the LIBOR Rate applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with  respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,  then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 7.2(c).  (c) Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.  In the case of any event  specified in Section 7.2 (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the  Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 7.2  (b) above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a  certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the  Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the  other Lenders and the Borrowers.  Subject to Section 7.7, upon such date as shall be  specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the  obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative  Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the  Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended until the  Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowers, or such Lender shall have  

 

38  744308325  later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s,  as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous  determination no longer exist.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a  determination under Section 7.2(a) and the Borrowers have previously notified the  Administrative Agent of their selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate  Loan and such interest rate election has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be  deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of such Loan as a Base Rate  Loan.  If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under  Section 7.2(b), the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations  under Section 7.3, as to any LIBOR Rate Loan of the Lender applies, on the date  specified in such notice either convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan  otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with  Section 6.2.  Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such  Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan otherwise available with  respect to such Loan upon such specified date.  7.3 Indemnity.  The Borrowers will jointly and severally indemnify each Lender  against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or  expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds  acquired to effect, fund or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by the Borrowers to make any  payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) any  payment or prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.5) of any LIBOR  Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (c) any  assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor  as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 7.5, or (d) any failure to convert a  LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan if required hereunder.  If any Lender sustains or incurs  any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowers, in writing, of the  amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such  assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such  Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or  expense.  Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.  Such  amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after  such notice is given.  7.4 Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests  compensation under Section 7.1, or either Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified  Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender  pursuant to Section 7.6, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Lead Borrower) use  reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans  hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or  affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate  or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.6, as the case may be, in the  future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would  not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all  reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation  or assignment.  

 

39  744308325  7.5 Special Prepayment; Replacement of Lender.  If any Lender makes any  demand for payment of any amount pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.6, gives any notice  pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 or is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected  Lender”), then the Borrowers may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,  either (i) reduce or terminate the Commitments of such Affected Lender and immediately prepay  the applicable outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender (or all outstanding  Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender in the case of a termination) so that, after giving effect  to such prepayment, such Affected Lender has a pro rata share (based on its revised Percentage  after giving effect to such reduction) of the outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and  unpaid interest thereon, and/or (ii) cause such Affected Lender to assign its Commitments, its  Loans and its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more other  Eligible Assignees (any such assignee, together with all Lenders other than such Affected  Lender, the “Remaining Lenders”) selected by the Borrowers and acceptable to the  Administrative Agent.  Any assignment made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be in  accordance with Section 14.8 (but without giving effect to any provision of such Section which  restricts the minimum or maximum amount which is permitted to be assigned).  Any Affected  Lender that is replaced pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 7.5 shall be entitled to receive (x)  from such Eligible Assignees to which its Commitments and Loans are assigned, its pro rata  share (based on its Percentage prior to giving effect to such assignment) of the outstanding Loans  and (y) from the Borrowers, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any other outstanding  Liabilities owed to such Lender (to the extent not paid pursuant to the immediately preceding  clause (x)), and any additional amount which is payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or otherwise  hereunder.  If any reduction or termination of any Affected Lender’s Commitment is made pursuant  to clause (i) above, then (A) the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount  equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitment so reduced or terminated, and (B) each  Remaining Lender’s (and, in the case of a reduction, such Affected Lender’s) share or percentage  of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, as so reduced, shall be deemed proportionately adjusted;  it being understood that the amount of any Lender’s Commitment (as opposed to any Lender’s  share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount) shall not at any time be increased  without the consent of such Lender.  7.6 Taxes. (a) FATCA.  For purposes of this Section 7.6, the term “applicable Law”  includes FATCA.  (b) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any  obligation of either 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 Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an  Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary  

 

40  744308325  so that after such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes has been made  (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under  this Section 7.6) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would  have received had no such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes been made.  (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Each Borrower shall timely  pay to the relevant Official Body 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 Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall jointly and  severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the  full amount of any Indemnified Taxes applicable to any Borrower (including Indemnified  Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.6)  payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment  to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,  whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by  the relevant Official Body.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability  delivered to the Lead 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  the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any  Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower  has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and  without limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to  such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.10 relating to the  maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such  Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection  with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect  thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the  relevant Official Body.  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.

41  744308325  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of  withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall  deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times  reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly  completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or  the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without  withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if  reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver  such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested  by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or  the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to  backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution  and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation specified  in Section 7.6.(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the  Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would  subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would  materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a  Borrower is a U.S. Person,  (1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such  Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which  such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to  time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the  Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying  that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;  (2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled  to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such  number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the  date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this  Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request  of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the  following is applicable:  a. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the  benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a  party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan  Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W- 8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction  of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article  of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable  payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or  W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or  

 

42  744308325  reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the  “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;  b. executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;  c. 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 H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a  “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,  (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the  meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled  foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code  (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals  of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or  d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial  owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by  IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if  applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the  form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-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 H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect  partner;  (3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled  to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such  number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the  date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this  Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request  of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any  other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption  from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,  together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by  applicable Law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to  determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and  (4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document  would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if  such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting  requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or  1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a  Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by  

 

43  744308325  law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such 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 a Borrower or the  Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the  Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and  to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s  obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and  withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D),  “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date  of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or  becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or  promptly notify such 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 7.6 (including by the payment of additional  amounts pursuant to this Section 7.6), 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 7.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket  expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party incurred in connection with  obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant  Official Body 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 Section 7.6 (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by  the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay  such refund to such Official Body.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this  Section 7.6 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to  an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7.6 (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 paragraph shall  not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or  any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying  party or any other Person.  (i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.6 shall survive the  resignation 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 Liabilities.  7.7 Benchmark Replacement Setting.Announcements Related to LIBOR.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the  right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any  amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will  become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this  Agreement or any other Loan Document.

45  744308325  or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent  manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from  any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as  expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”  (e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the  contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with  the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (1) if the then-current Benchmark is a  term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR ) and either (A) any tenor for such  Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such  rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion  or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a  public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such  Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may  modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such  time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (2) if a tenor that was  removed pursuant to clause (1) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or  information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not,  or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative  for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent  may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such  time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.  (f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice  of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Lead Borrower may  revoke any request for a Loan bearing interest based on USD LIBOR, conversion to or  continuation of Loans bearing interest based on USD LIBOR to be made, converted or  continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Lead  Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of  or conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate.

(g) Secondary Term SOFR Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the  contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this  paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement  Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then- current Benchmark, then, subject to consultation with the Lead Borrower, (1) the  applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all  purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting  (the “Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date”) and subsequent Benchmark settings,  without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this  Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (2) Loans outstanding on the Secondary  Term SOFR Conversion Date bearing interest based on the then-current Benchmark shall  be deemed to have been converted to Loans bearing interest at the Benchmark  

 

46  744308325  Replacement with a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period  of the then-current Benchmark; provided that, this paragraph (g) shall not be effective  unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower a  Term SOFR Notice.

The agreement of the Guarantor herein is a guaranty of payment and performance  and not merely as a guaranty of collection.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Liabilities shall include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may be or  hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding  or case commenced by or against Guarantor or a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, and  shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Borrowers of  any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in connection with this Agreement (including all  renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all  attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection  with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof).  8.2 No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments.

Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take,  any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this  Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor.  8.4 Certain Waivers.  The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law  (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower, or the  cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the  Administrative Agent) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that  Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the  benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to  require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Borrower, proceed  against or exhaust any security for the Liabilities, or pursue any other remedy in the  Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the  doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to  participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f)  any fact or circumstance related to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to  the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law,  any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law  limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the  Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under  this Agreement, have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for  payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest,  notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with  respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this guaranty or of the existence,  creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The guaranty of the Guarantor hereunder  shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Liabilities or  any instrument or agreement evidencing any Liabilities, or by the existence, validity,  enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or  circumstance relating to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the  obligations of Guarantor under this guaranty, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any  defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.  8.5 Obligations Independent.  The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of  primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against  Guarantor to enforce this guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is  joined as a party.  8.6 Subrogation.  Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation,  contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes  under this guaranty until all of the Liabilities and any amounts payable under this Agreement  

 

54  744308325  have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or  facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated.  If any amounts  are paid to Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in  trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to  reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured.  8.7 Termination; Reinstatement.  This guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable  guaranty of all Liabilities now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until  all Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full  in cash and any commitments of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of them or  facilities provided by the Lenders or any of them with respect to the Liabilities are terminated.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall continue in full force and effect or be  revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is  made, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the  Liabilities and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently  invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to  any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be  repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any  Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had  not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender is in possession of or  has released this guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or  reduction.  The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this  Agreement.  8.8 Subordination.  Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations  and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter  arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of  the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this  Section 8, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Liabilities.  If the Administrative  Agent so requests while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation  or indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by  Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall  be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Liabilities, but without reducing or  affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Section 8.  8.9 Stay of Acceleration.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of  any of the Liabilities is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan  Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable  by Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent.  8.10 Miscellaneous.  The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s books and  records showing the amount of the Liabilities shall be admissible in evidence in any action or  proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error for the  purpose of establishing the amount of the Liabilities. No failure by the Administrative Agent or  any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall  operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power  hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power  

 

55  744308325  or remedy.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies  provided by law or in equity.  The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this guaranty  shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.   8.11 Condition of Borrowers.

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 Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the  Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  13.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties  or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of  whether a Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing;  (b) 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 the Administrative Agent is required to  exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or  percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan  Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any  action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative  Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and  (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan  Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,  any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated  

 

74  744308325  to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates  in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it  (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage  of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith  shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 14.2 and 12.2) or (ii) in the  absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed  not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until  notice describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default is given to the  Administrative Agent in writing by a Loan Party or a Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or  inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made 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, (iii) the  performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set  forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of 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 (v) the satisfaction of any  condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items  expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative 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 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.  The Administrative Agent  also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have  been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In  determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms  must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such  condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received  notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative  Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a 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.  13.5 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of  its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or  through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative  Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and  powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section  13.5 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and  any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the  

 

75  744308325  syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative  Agent.  13.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any  time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower.  Upon receipt of any  such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the  Lead Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a  successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such  bank with an office in the United States that in each case is a Lender.  If no such successor shall  have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment  within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then  the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor  Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and  the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall  nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative  Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan  Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent  on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent  shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative  Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be  made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender  directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as  provided for above in this Section 13.6.  Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as  Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of  the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the  retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder  or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in  this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be  the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between each Borrower and  such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the  other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 13.6 and Section 14.5 shall continue in  effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective  Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the  retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.  Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor  shall succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC Bank as the retiring  Administrative Agent and PNC Bank shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and  obligations as Administrative Agent under the Loan.  13.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender  acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or  any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as  it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this  Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance  upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on  such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make  

 

76  744308325  its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other  Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  13.8 No Other Duties, Etc..  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none  of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or the  Bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities  under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable,  as the Administrative Agent, or a Lender hereunder.  13.9 Administrative Agent's Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative  Agent a nonrefundable fee under the terms of the Fee Letter.  13.10 [Reserved].  13.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent's Customer Identification Program.   Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates,  participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender's,  Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations  required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder,  including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the  “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of  the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrowers, its Affiliates or their  agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any  identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists,  (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other  Laws.  13.12 Funding Reliance.  (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender  prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of any  Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that  such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of  such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such  share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) (or, in the case of a  Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in  accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.3(b)) and may, in reliance upon  such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such  event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to  the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and  severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such  corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day  from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to 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 Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative  Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in  the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base  

 

77  744308325  Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the  Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent  shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers  for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the  Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan  included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to  any claim a Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such  payment to the Administrative Agent.  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the  Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for  the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the  Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such  date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the  Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in  fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to  repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such  Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date  such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the  greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative  Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  13.13 Erroneous Payments.  (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies  such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any  funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates  were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by,  such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender (whether as a payment, prepayment  or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise), individually and collectively, an  “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion  thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day  thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment  (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the  currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and  including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such  Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds  at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank  compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Lender shall not assert any right  or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense  or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by  the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including  without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar  doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall  be conclusive, absent manifest error.  

 

78  744308325  (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby  further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or  any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis  difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the  Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment  (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an  Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been  made with respect to such Erroneous Payment.  Each Lender further agrees that, in each  such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)  may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent  of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly,  but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative  Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received  by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same  day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank  compensation from time to time in effect.  (c) The parties hereto agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or  portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous  Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be  subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an  Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any  Liabilities owed by the Borrowers, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous  Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is,  comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the  purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.  (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.13 shall survive the  resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or  obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or  the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liabilities (or any portion thereof) under  any Loan Document.  SECTION 14. GENERAL.  14.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any Lender or  the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right,  remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a  waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege  hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,  remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and  provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,  remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.  14.2 Waivers and Amendments.  

 

79  744308325  (a) Generally.  Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this  Agreement, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any  provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall in any event be  effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Majority  Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then any such amendment,  modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the  specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall:  (i) unless consented to by each Lender affected thereby, (A) increase  or extend a Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional  obligation, (B) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan or any fee  or other Liability payable hereunder (provided that any (x) change in the  definition, or component thereof, of any ratio used in the calculation of such  principal, rate of interest, fee or other Liability payable hereunder, (y) waiver or  amendment in respect of a default rate of interest, or (z) change in the mandatory  prepayment requirements, shall not, in each case, constitute a reduction in the  principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability payable  hereunder), or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or  interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability hereunder;  (ii) unless consented to by each Lender, (A) waive any condition  specified in Section 11.1, (B) change the Percentages or the aggregate unpaid  principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders which shall be required  to take action hereunder, or the definition of “Majority Lenders”, (C) change  Section 6.1, Section 6.4 or Section 12.3, in each case, in a manner that would alter  the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or (D) change any provision of  this Section 14.2; or  (iii) No provision of this Agreement (including Section 13) or of any  other Loan Document which relates to the rights or duties of the Administrative  Agent shall be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of the  Administrative Agent.  (b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender  will have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent  hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the  consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the  applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1) the Commitment of  any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such  Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all  Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more  adversely than other affected Lenders will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.  14.3 Notices.  (a) Notices Generally.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any  notice hereunder to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be in  

 

80  744308325  writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be given (i) if to a Loan Party or  the Administrative Agent, at its address or facsimile number set forth on Schedule 10.2,  and (ii) if to any Lender, at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative  Questionnaire or, in each case, at such other address or facsimile number as the recipient  may, by written notice, designate as its address or facsimile number for purposes of  notices hereunder.

The Administrative Agent or each Loan Party may, in its  discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic  communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such  procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other  communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of  an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”  function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such  notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such  notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the  next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or  intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at  its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or  communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES (AS  DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS  OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM,  AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS  FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.

(d) Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  The  Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices  (including telephonic notices, Loan Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of a  Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were  incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified  herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any  confirmation thereof.

This Section  14.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,  claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.  (c) To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any  amount required under clause (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative  Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each  Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or  such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the  

 

83  744308325  time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such  unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,  damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted  against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or  against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or  any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders  under this clause (c) are several and not joint.  (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall  assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any 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, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the  proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in clause (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.  (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand.  (f) The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions in Section  14.3(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any  Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge  of all the other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents.  14.6 Governing Law; Entire Agreement.

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 no Loan Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or  obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each  Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder  except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.8, (ii) by way of  participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.10, or (iii) by way of pledge or  assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 14.11 (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  

 

84  744308325  parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent  provided in Section 14.10 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties  of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or  claim under or by reason of this Agreement.  14.8 Assignments by Lenders.    (a) Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or  more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement  (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it);  provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:  (i) Minimum Amounts.  (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount  of the assigning Lender's applicable Commitment and the Loans at the  time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of  a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;  and  (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section  14.8, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning  Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the  Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment  is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Trade Date” is  specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade  Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000, in the case of the Loan of such  assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as  no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower  otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or  delayed).  (ii) Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as  an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and  obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned.  (iii) Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any  assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be  unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent that such assignment is to a  Person other than another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund  and the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld  or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender,  an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and  (iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  The parties to each  assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment  and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of  

 

85  744308325  $5,000 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and the  Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent  an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.  (v) No Assignment to Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to  a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower.  (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be  made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for,  or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person).  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to  Section 14.9, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and  Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this  Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and  Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this  Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest  assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its  obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption  Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this  Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled  to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 14.5 with respect to facts and circumstances  occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment provided that except to the extent  otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender  will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such  Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  If requested by the assignee Lender, each  Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any  assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that  does not comply with this Section 14.8 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as  a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with  Section 14.10.  (b) Disqualified Persons.   (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no portion of  any Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a  Disqualified Person as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning  Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a  portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the  applicable Increase Effective Date, as the case may be (unless the Borrowers (in  their sole and absolute discretion) have consented, in writing, to such assignment  or the portion of the Commitment Increase to be provided by such Disqualified  Person, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Person  for the purpose of such assignment, participation or Commitment Increase).  For  the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant or any Lender  that provides any portion of a Commitment Increase that becomes a Disqualified  Person after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a  

 

86  744308325  notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the  definition of “Disqualified Person”), (x) such assignee or Lender shall not  retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the  execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption or Joinder  Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee  no longer being considered a Disqualified Person. Any assignment or  Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (b)(i) shall not be void, but the  other provisions of this clause (b) shall apply.  (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to, or any portion of a  Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Person without the  Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person  becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers  may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified  Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such  Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such  Disqualified Person in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such  Disqualified Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with  and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights  and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more  Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the  principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to  acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest,  accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it  hereunder and the Loan Documents.  (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this  Agreement, Disqualified Persons (A) will not (x) have the right to receive  information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the  Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings  attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any  electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from  counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and  (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of,  or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative  Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action)  under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Person will  be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not  Disqualified Persons consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on  any Debtor Relief Plan, each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees  (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Person does  vote on such Debtor Relief Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing  clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be  “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar  provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in  determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor  Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any  

 

87  744308325  similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any  request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other  applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).  (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers  hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of  Disqualified Persons provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from  time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion  of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the  DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.  14.9 Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent  of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the  Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the  terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  Such Register shall be conclusive, and the  Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in  such Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this  Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  Such Register shall be available for  inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon  reasonable prior notice.  14.10 Participation.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice  to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to  (w) a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and  operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Borrower or  any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (z) a Disqualified Person) (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 its Commitment and/or the 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 other parties hereto for the performance of such  obligations, (iii) such Participant shall be bound by Section 14.20 and (iv) the Borrower, the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender  in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance  of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 14.5(b) without  regard to the existence of any participation.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall  provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any  amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such  agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the  Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification  or waiver with respect to Sections 14.2(a)(i) or 14.2(a)(iii) that affects such Participant.  The  Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and  7.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender  and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.8; provided that such  Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 as if it were an  assignee under Section 14.8; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under  

 

88  744308325  Sections 7.1 or 7.6, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have  been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results  from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.   Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use  reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Sections 7.4  and 7.5 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also  shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such  Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.4 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells  a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers,  maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal  amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in 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 (including the identity of any  Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans,  letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the  extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit  or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury  Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,  and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the  owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the  contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative  Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  14.11 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.  Any Lender may at any  time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to  secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a  Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central or any other applicable central bank or Official  Body; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its  obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party  hereto.  14.12 Survival.  The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7 and 14.5, and the  obligations of the Lenders under Section 14.5(c), shall in each case survive any termination of  this Agreement, the payment in full of all Liabilities and the termination of all Commitments.   The representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other  Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other  Loan Document.  14.13 Effect of Amendment and Restatement.    (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the terms and  provisions of the Existing Term Loan Agreement.  Neither the execution and delivery of  this Agreement by any Loan Party or any Lender, nor any of the terms or provisions  contained herein, shall be construed to be a payment on or with respect to the  Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement.    

 

89  744308325  (b) When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been lodged with  the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed  counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Administrative Agent shall have received  facsimile or other written confirmation from such Lender) and all of the conditions set  forth in Section 11 shall have been satisfied, this Agreement shall become effective as of  the date hereof, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower  and each Lender.  (c) The Loan Parties, the Lenders that are party to the Existing Term Loan  Agreement and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent under the  Existing Term Loan Agreement, acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of  this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be  superseded by this Agreement, and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect  (except that any provision thereof which by its terms survives termination thereof shall  continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the applicable party or parties), all  without any other action by any Person.  14.14 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.  14.15 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, Etc..  This Agreement may be  executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an  original, but all such counterparts shall constitute together but one and the same Agreement.   Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar  file shall be effective as delivery of a manually-executed original counterpart hereof.  14.16 Investment.  Each Lender represents and warrants that: (a) it is acquiring any  Note to be issued to it hereunder for its own account as a result of making a loan in the ordinary  course of its commercial banking or lending business and not with a view to the public  distribution or sale thereof, nor with any present intention of selling or distributing such Note,  but subject, nevertheless, to possible assignments or participations thereof pursuant to Section  14.8 and to any legal or administrative requirement that the disposition of such Lender’s property  at all times be within its control, and (b) in good faith it has not and will not rely upon any  margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the making  and maintaining of its Loans.  14.17 Other Transactions.  Nothing contained herein shall preclude the  Administrative Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those  contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with either Borrower or any of its  Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with  any other Person.

EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND  IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE  OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE  SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH  LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY  ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION.

EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY  EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED  BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE  LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT  REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN  BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  TO THE EXTENT THAT A LOAN PARTY  HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY  COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR  NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF  EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH  LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF  ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  14.19 Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS  AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND  INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN  RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN  CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY  COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL  OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR A  LOAN PARTY.  EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS  RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND  EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A  PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT  AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.  14.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative  Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined  below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its 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  

 

91  744308325  confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b)  to the extent requested by any governmental regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction  over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance  Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations 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 Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible  Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any  actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating  to the Borrowers and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent  such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section  or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective  Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information of a non-public,  confidential and proprietary nature received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to such   Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such  information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential  basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary.  Any Person required to maintain  the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (a) the Information may  include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof, as the  case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non- public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance  with applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.  14.21 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an  amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of  the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining  whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender  exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person 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 hereunder.  14.22 Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of either  Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any  

 

92  744308325  Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part  thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required  (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in  its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any  proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,  the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in  full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and  (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable  share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative  Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a  rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of  the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the  Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.  14.23 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of  each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or  other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and  agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the  Administrative Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its  Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (B) such Borrower  has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed  appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the  terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan  Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent 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 such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other  Person and (B) the Administrative Agent nor has no obligation to such Borrower or any of its  Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly  set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and its  Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from  those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to  disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted  by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the  Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in  connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.  14.24 Appointment of Lead Arranger and Bookrunner; No Other Duties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement,  arrangement or understanding among any the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that  any liability of any Lender that is an Affected 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 applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and  acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion  Powers by an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may  be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any  Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or  cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares  or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent 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 applicable Resolution Authority.  14.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a  guarantee or otherwise, for any Interest Rate Agreement or any other agreement or  instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a  “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the  resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit  Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer  Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special  Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with  the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any  Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New  York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):  (i) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC  (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special  Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such  QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported  QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such  Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be  effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.  Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support  (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the  laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered  Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding  under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that  rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no  event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or  any QFC Credit Support.
