(a) Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a loan (a “Bridge Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment.  The Borrower may make only one borrowing under the Commitment, which shall be on the Closing Date.  Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.  Subject to Sections 2.10 and 2.11, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Bridge Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Bridge Loan Maturity Date.  Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date upon the funding of the Bridge Loans.
(b)Borrowing Mechanics for Bridge Loans.
(i)The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than three days prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent).  Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.
(ii)Each Lender shall make its Bridge Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Principal Office.  Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Bridge Loans available to the Borrower on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Bridge Loans received by the Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Principal Office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
Section 2.2Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.
(a)Pro Rata Shares.  All Bridge Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be 
-45-

responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Bridge Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Bridge Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
(b)Availability of Funds.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Bridge Loan requested on the Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the Funding Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on the Funding Date.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such duplicative interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrower until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (ii) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (iii) such Lender’s failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on the Funding Date, at the Administrative Agent’s option, such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrower through and including the time of the Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount.  Nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
Section 2.3Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Bridge Loans shall be applied by the Borrower to fund the uses specified in the recitals hereto.
Section 2.4Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Promissory Notes.
(a)Lenders’ Evidence of Debt.  Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Borrower Obligations to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof.  Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each other Loan Party, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower Obligations in respect of any Loans; and provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.
(b)Register.  The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders (and each assignee thereof) and the Commitments and Loans (and related interest amounts) of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (provided that any such Lender may only inspect any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments and  Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time 
-46-

upon reasonable prior notice.  The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitments and the  Loans (and related interest amounts), as well as any assignments thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that any failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Borrower Obligations in respect of any Loan.  The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4.  The parties hereto shall treat each Person listed in the Register as the owner of the applicable Loan, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  This Section 2.4(b) is intended to establish a “book entry system” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 5f.103-1(c)(1)(ii) and shall be interpreted consistently with such intent.
(c)Promissory Notes.  If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an Assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 9.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Promissory Note to evidence such Lender’s Loan.
Section 2.5Interest on the Loans.
(a)Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Bridge Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus (x) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate and (y) in the case of Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate; provided that from and after the occurrence of a Demand Failure Event, each Bridge Loan shall bear interest at the Total Cap.  
(b)The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Bridge Loan, and the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Continuation Notice, as the case may be.
(c)There shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time.  In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in the applicable Funding Notice or Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.  As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Bridge Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.
(d)Interest payable pursuant to clause (a) above shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on the Bridge Loans, the date of the making of such Bridge Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Bridge Loan or the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Bridge Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Bridge Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Bridge Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Bridge Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Bridge Loan.
(e)Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on (i) in the case of any Bridge Loan, each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date, (ii) in the case of any Extended Term Loan, semi-annually in arrears on 
-47-

each six-month anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity Date and (iii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid.
(f)Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Extended Term Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from, and including the Bridge Loan Maturity Date until, but excluding, the date of maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) that shall at all times be the Total Cap, subject to Section 2.7 with respect to Default Interest.
Section 2.6Continuation.
(a)Subject to Section 2.15 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option, upon the expiration of any Interest Period, to continue all or any portion of such Bridge Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount for an additional Interest Period.
(b)Subject to clause (c) below, the Borrower shall deliver a Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Continuation Date.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Continuation Notice for continuation shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a continuation in accordance therewith.  If on any day a Bridge Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(c)Any Continuation Notice shall be executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent.  In lieu of delivering a Continuation Notice, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of such proposed continuation; provided each such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of the applicable Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the close of business on the date that the telephonic notice is given.  In the event of a discrepancy between the telephone notice and the written Continuation Notice, the written Continuation Notice shall govern.  In the case of any Continuation Notice that is irrevocable once given, if the Borrower provides telephonic notice in lieu thereof, such telephone notice shall also be irrevocable once given.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized on behalf of the Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith.
Section 2.7Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a)(1), Section 7.1(a)(7) or Section 7.1(a)(8), upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower at the direction of the Required Lenders, the overdue principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Loans or any overdue fees or other amounts owed hereunder shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Laws (or interest that would have accrued after the commencement of a proceeding but for the commencement of such proceeding)) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans and (ii) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.7 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
Section 2.8Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Arranger and the Administrative Agent fees and expenses in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

Section 2.9Conversion to Extended Term Loans.  If any of the Bridge Loans are outstanding on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, then on the Bridge Loan Maturity Date the then-outstanding principal amount of such Bridge Loans will automatically be converted into senior term loans (any such term loans that have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”), which shall be due and payable on the Extended Term Loan Maturity Date. Upon the conversion of the Bridge Loans into Extended Term Loans, each Lender shall cancel on its records a principal amount of the Bridge Loans held by such Lender corresponding to the principal amount of the Extended Term Loans made by such Lender, which corresponding principal amount of the Bridge Loans shall be satisfied by the conversion of such Bridge Loans into Extended Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.9.
Section 2.10Voluntary Prepayments.
(a)Any time and from time to time the Borrower may prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.
(b)All such prepayments shall be made:  upon written or telephonic notice upon not less than two Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice; given to the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such original notice for Loans by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender).  Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the  Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that a notice of voluntary prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the Disposition of assets, the closing of a merger, amalgamation or acquisition transaction or the closing of any other transaction, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied or delayed in effectiveness, provided that the Borrower shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15(b) in connection therewith.  
Section 2.11Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)Asset Sales.  No later than the fifth Business Day after the Borrower’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of any Net Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 of any Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall make an offer to the Lenders to prepay Bridge Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such portion of such Net Proceeds as permitted under Section 4.10(b)(1) of the Indentures, at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any; provided that, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a)(1), (7) or (8) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the Net Proceeds from any such Asset Sales are received, the Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Proceeds to the extent (x) such Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 90 days of receipt thereof, or (y) the Borrower or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries have committed to reinvest such Net Proceeds during such 90-day period and such Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period, in assets useful in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or to use such Net Proceeds to replace assets Disposed of in such Asset Sale); provided, further, that any Net Proceeds not so reinvested shall be applied to the prepayment of the Bridge Loans as set forth in this Section 2.11(a) at the end of such reinvestment period.
(b)Change of Control.  No later than the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall make an offer to the Lenders to prepay all outstanding Bridge Loans, at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any. 
(c)Issuance of Debt.  Immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds from the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Demand Notes

(d)[Reserved].
(e)Net Equity Proceeds.  Within five (5) Business Days of the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Equity Proceeds (excluding Net Equity Proceeds resulting from the sale, issuance or exercise by any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Capital Stock (i) by any Subsidiary to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary (as applicable), (ii) pursuant to any equity compensation plan, employment agreement or employee benefit plan or agreement or pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, warrants or other equity-based awards, (iii) as directors’ qualifying shares, (v) in connection with hedging programs and (vi) upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities or options), the Borrower shall prepay the Bridge Loans in an amount equal to such Net Equity Proceeds, at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any. 
(f)Prepayment Certificate.  Concurrently with any prepayment of the Bridge Loans pursuant to Sections 2.11(a), (c) or (e), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Proceeds or Net Equity Proceeds, as the case may be.  In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount required to be prepaid exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Bridge Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the derivation of such excess.
(g)Foreign Dispositions.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition received by a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States of America, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Bridge Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States of America (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds that would otherwise be required to be used to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, is permitted under the applicable local law, such Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after any such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof to the extent not already taken into account under the definition of “Net Proceeds”) to the prepayment of the Bridge Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 and (ii) to the 
-50-

extent that the Borrower has determined in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that repatriation to the United States of America of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition received by a Foreign Subsidiary would have material adverse Tax consequences (taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any such Net Proceeds would have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Proceeds had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount (the “Netted Tax Amount”) of additional Taxes (to the extent not already taken into account under the definition of “Net Proceeds”) that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary); provided that, to the extent that the repatriation of any Net Proceeds from such Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have an adverse Tax consequence, the Borrower shall apply the Netted Tax Amount to prepayment of the Bridge Loans promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after any such repatriation) in accordance with this Section 2.11.
(h)Mandatory Prepayments Applicable to Extended Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on and after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, at all times while the Extended Term Loans are outstanding, the Borrower shall comply with the provisions of the Exchange Notes Indenture applicable to an “Asset Sale Offer” as defined therein with respect to the Extended Term Loans instead of the provisions contained in this Agreement (including this Section 2.11), and such provisions of the Exchange Notes Indenture (including the corresponding definitions in the Exchange Notes Indenture that relate to such sections and articles of the Exchange Notes Indenture) shall be deemed incorporated and set forth in this Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing; provided that, for purposes of this Agreement (i) any references to the “Holders” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Lenders, (ii) any references to the “Indenture” therein shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement, (iii) any references to the “Issuer” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Borrower, (iv) any references to the “Notes” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Extended Term Loans and (v) any references to the “Trustee” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent, and payment shall be made as set forth in Section 2.12 (and not as described under “Selection and Discharge” in the Description of Exchange Notes).
Section 2.12Application of Prepayments/Reductions.
(a)[Reserved].  
(b)[Reserved].  
(c)Waivable Mandatory Prepayment.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Bridge Loans are outstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make an offer to prepay Bridge Loans pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) of Section 2.11, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent on the date specified in clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) of Section 2.11, as applicable (the “Required Offer Date”), of the amount of such prepayment (the “Waivable Prepayment Amount”), and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Bridge Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Prepayment Amount and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount.  Each such Lender may exercise such option to refuse its Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Prepayment Amount (such refused amount of all such Lenders, the “Refused Proceeds”) by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the third Business Day after the Required Offer Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the third Business Day after the Required Offer Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option).  On the fifth Business Day after the Required Offer Date, the Borrower shall (i) pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Prepayment Amount, less the Refused Proceeds, which such remaining amount shall be applied to prepay the Bridge Loans of those Lenders that have elected not to exercise 
-51-

such option, and (ii) retain any Refused Proceeds or use such Refused Proceeds for any other purpose not prohibited hereunder.
Section 2.13General Provisions Regarding Payments.
(a)All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders.
(b)All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Bridge Loan shall be accompanied by payment of any fees required to be paid in connection with such principal payment pursuant to Section 2.8 and payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Bridge Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Bridge Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.
(c)The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due related thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.
(d)[Reserved.]
(e)Whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Bridge Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(f)The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (unless a later time is otherwise specified herein with respect to such payment) to be a non-conforming payment.  Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming.  Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a).  Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.7, if applicable, from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.
Section 2.14Ratable Sharing.  The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Bridge Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, or by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under Bankruptcy Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment 
-52-

received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.  The provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (ii) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Bridge Loans or other Obligations owed to it.  For purposes of clause (a)(iii) of Section 2.17, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest in the Bridge Loan to which such participation relates.
Section 2.15Making or Maintaining Loans; Benchmark Replacement.
(a)Replacing LIBO Rate.  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 the LIBO Rate’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month LIBO Rate tenor settings. On the date (the “Benchmark Transition Date”) that is the earlier of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of the LIBO Rate have either 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 and (B) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is the LIBO Rate, 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. 
(ii)Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, 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. 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 Required Lenders. 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 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 Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. 
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if (A) the Benchmark Transition Date has occurred and as a result the then-current Benchmark is being determined in accordance with clause (1)(b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, and (B) the 
-53-

Administrative Agent subsequently determines, in its sole discretion, that (w) Term SOFR is or has becomes available, (x) there is currently a market for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities utilizing Term SOFR as a Benchmark, (y) Term SOFR is being recommended as the Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities by the Relevant Government Authority and (z) Term SOFR and the application thereof is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), then clause (1)(a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” will, without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, replace such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings on and from the beginning of the next Interest Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor so long as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders prior to the commencement of such next Interest Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor.
(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 and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15, 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 or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.
    (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 LIBO Rate), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
(b)Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a continuation of any Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of its Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.
(c)Booking of Loans.  Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.
(d)Assumptions Concerning Funding of Loans.  Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.15 and under Section 2.16 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its 
-54-

relevant Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.15 and under Section 2.16.
Section 2.16Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.
(a)Increased Costs.  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 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);
(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Taxes excluded from Section 2.17(a) pursuant to clauses (ii) through (iv) of Section 2.17(a), (B) Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, 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 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 Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such 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 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 such Lender 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 Borrower 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 Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any 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 Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or 
-55-

reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 2.17Taxes.
(a)All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party to a Recipient under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes (except as required by applicable Law), excluding any of the following Taxes imposed on or with respect to a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient:  (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), branch profits, and franchise Taxes, in each case (x) imposed on any Recipient as a result of such Recipient being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes; (ii) Taxes imposed on any Recipient that are attributable to such Recipient’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of this Section 2.17; (iii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a Law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender acquires such interest in such Commitment (or, to the extent such Lender did not fund an applicable Loan pursuant to a prior Commitment, on the date on which such Lender acquires interest in such Loan), provided that this clause (x) shall not apply to a Lender that became a Lender pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.19, or (y) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.17, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender acquired the applicable interest in such Loan or Commitment or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office; and (iv) Taxes that are imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version described above), and any intergovernmental agreement (and any related fiscal or regulatory legislation, administrative rules or official practices implementing the foregoing (such Code provisions, agreements, regulations and interpretations, collectively, “FATCA”).  If applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable withholding agent) requires any Taxes not described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding sentence (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes to be withheld by any applicable withholding agent from any amounts payable under any Loan Document, the amounts so payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of any amounts received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Without duplication of Section 2.17(a), the Loan Parties shall 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.
(c)Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable or remittable by a Loan Party, as soon as practicable thereafter the Loan Party shall send to the applicable Recipient the original or a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Loan Party or other reasonably satisfactory evidence showing payment thereof.
(d)Without duplication of Section 2.17(a), the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed

on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) payable by such Recipient, and any liability (including penalties, additions to Tax, interest and any reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Such indemnification shall be made within 10 days after the date the Recipient makes written demand therefor (which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes for which indemnification is being sought).  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Arrangers or Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)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 Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Loan Party held such funds and any penalties, additions to Tax, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section 2.17(e) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(f)Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, a Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent); provided that the completion, execution or submission of such documentation required under this Section 2.17(f) 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.  Each Lender shall deliver the forms and other documentation required to be provided under this Section 2.17:  (i) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (ii) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, inaccuracy, or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, and (iii) at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as required by Law.  Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any documentation previously delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.17 to the contrary, no Lender shall be required to provide any form or other documentation pursuant to this Section 2.17 that it is not legally eligible to provide.
(g)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.17(f):
(i)Each Lender that is a “U.S. person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.
-57-

(ii)Each Lender that is not a “U.S. person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed copies of 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to such tax treaty;
(B)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 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable;
(D)To the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, 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 U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
(iii)If a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for the purpose of this Section 2.17(g)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)If the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower with a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 confirming that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal back-up withholding.  If the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower with, (i) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), and (ii) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY confirming that the Administrative Agent agrees to be treated as a “United States person” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes.

-58-

W-9 confirming that such Arranger is exempt from U.S. federal back-up withholding.  The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall, (A) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, inaccuracy or invalidity of any form previously delivered by the Administrative Agent or an Arranger under this clause (h), and (B) at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or as required by Law, deliver promptly to the Borrower an updated form or other appropriate documentation (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.  Notwithstanding anything in this clause (h) to the contrary, no Administrative Agent or Arranger shall be required to provide any documentation pursuant to this clause (h) that such Administrative Agent or Arranger is unable to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the date of this Agreement.
(i)The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
Section 2.18Obligation to Mitigate.  Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Loans through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office or take such other measures pursuant to this Section 2.18 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office or taking such other measures as described above.  A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.19Removal or Replacement of a Lender.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:  (a)(i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.1, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in full to one or more Persons permitted to become Lenders hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (each, a “Replacement Lender”) and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender; provided that, (A) on the date of such assignment, such Terminated Lender shall have received payment from the Replacement Lender or the Borrower in an amount equal to the sum of (1) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender and (2) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.8; (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15(b), 2.16 or 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation and on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17; or otherwise as if it were 
-59-

a prepayment and (C) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender.  Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.6; provided that each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.19 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.6.

(2)except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:
(A)any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s, or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent internally available balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are contingent or by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and as a result of which the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities or are indemnified against further liabilities;

shall be deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 
(b)The Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11(a).  To the extent that any Net Proceeds constitute Refused Proceeds, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:
(1)to make one or more offers to the Holders (as defined in the Indentures) (and, at the option of the Borrower, the holders of other senior Indebtedness) to purchase Notes (and such senior Indebtedness) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in the Indentures (each, an “Asset Sale Offer”); provided that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (1), the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness; provided, further, that if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any senior 
-83-

Indebtedness (other than the Notes), the Borrower shall equally and ratably reduce Indebtedness under the Notes by making an offer to all Holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of the Notes, such offer to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.10 of the Indentures for an Asset Sale Offer;
(2)to make an investment in (i) any one or more businesses, (ii) capital expenditures or (iii) acquisitions of other property or long-term assets that, in each of (i), (ii) and (iii), are used or useful in a Similar Business;
(3)to reduce Secured Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and/or to reduce Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the acquisition of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary by the Borrower shall constitute a reduction in such Indebtedness; or
(4)any combination of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that repatriation to the United States of America of any or all the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (x) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or (y) would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or other net benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation that would not otherwise be realized), as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected shall not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary; provided that clause (x) of this Section 6.4(c) shall apply to such amounts for so long, but only for so long, as the applicable local law shall not permit repatriation to the United States of America (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law and is not subject to clause (y) of this Section 6.4(c), then such repatriation shall be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds shall be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result to the extent not already taken into account under the definition of “Net Proceeds”) in compliance with this covenant.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any 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.
Section 8.3Exculpatory 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 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 Required 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 
-93-

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;
(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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates 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 Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 7.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender;
(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 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 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;

No requirement in any Loan Document for a Loan Party to provide evidence, opinion, information, documentation or other material requested or required by the Administrative Agent shall be construed to mean that the Administrative Agent has any responsibility to request or require such evidence, opinion, information, documentation or other material.  No Lender shall assert, and each Lender hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, including any predecessor agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this

Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Bridge Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
Section 8.4Reliance 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 Bridge 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 Bridge Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Lender), independent accountants and other experts, 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.
Section 8.5Delegation 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 8 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 facility 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-agents 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-agents.
Section 8.6Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a)(1), (7) or (8) 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.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a)(1), (7) or (8) is continuing, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Person directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  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 Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, 
-95-

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.
Section 8.7Non-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 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.
Section 8.8No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in their capacities, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
Section 8.9Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any  Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.8 and 9.5) 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 to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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 2.8 and 9.5.
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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.
Section 8.10Erroneous Payments.
(a)  If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or 
-96-

not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf)  (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days 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 Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(1)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(2)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.10(b).
(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf)  (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and 
-97-

deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Promissory Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to  an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, 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 Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.10(g) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.    
Section 8.11Guaranty Matters.
(a)Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guarantee Agreement or any Loan Document as provided in Section 9.20.
(b)Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to Section 9.20.
Section 8.12Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent 
-98-

against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective).  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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.12.  The agreements in this Section 8.12  shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
SECTION 9.MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1Amendments and Waivers.  Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  The Required Lenders, the Borrower and each other Loan Party which is a party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party which is a party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding or removing any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights and obligations of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only and without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, amend, supplement or modify this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, supplement or modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided further, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:
(i)forgive the principal amount of any Bridge Loan, extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Bridge Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or premium payable under this Agreement (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or extend the time for payment of any interest, fees or premium or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;
(ii)amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1, without the consent of each Lender, or, except as contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 9.1, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or reduce the consent required under any provision pursuant to which the consent of Required Lenders is necessary, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(iii)consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of each Lender;
-99-

(iv)amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8, or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent, without the consent of the Administrative Agent;
(v)amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14 without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(vi)[reserved]; or
(vii)release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee Agreements, without the written consent of each Lender, except (A) to the extent the release of any Subsidiary from a Guarantee Agreement is permitted pursuant to Section 9.20 (in which case such release may be made without the consent of any Lender) or (B) upon satisfaction of the Termination Conditions;
provided, further, that any Loan Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) solely to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Lenders or extend an existing Lien over additional property.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender prior to such Lender funding its Bridge Loans on the Closing Date, then for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to this Section 9.1); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.1, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Bridge Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.  Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee Agreements and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower only and without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered solely to the extent necessary to (A) comply with local Law or advice of local counsel or (B) cause such Guarantee Agreement or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on and after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, at all times while the Extended Term Loans are outstanding, the amendment, waiver and release provisions applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be those contained in the Exchange Notes Indenture instead of the provisions contained in this Agreement (including this Section 9.1), and such provisions of the Exchange Notes Indenture (including the corresponding definitions in the Exchange Notes Indenture that relate to such sections and articles of the Exchange Notes Indenture) shall be deemed incorporated and set forth in this Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing; provided that, for purposes of this Agreement (i) any 
-100-

references to the “Holders” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Lenders, (ii) any references to the “Indenture” therein shall be deemed to be references to this Agreement, (iii) any references to the “Issuer” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Borrower, (iv) any references to the “Notes” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Extended Term Loans and (v) any references to the “Trustee” therein shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent.

(a)The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse each of the Agents and the Arrangers, whether or not the Closing Date occurs, for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Loan Facility (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, negotiation, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one law firm as lead counsel to the Agents and the Arrangers and one law firm as local counsel to the Agents and the Arrangers, taken as a whole, in any relevant jurisdiction and the charges of any Platform, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Bridge Loan Facility.  Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.  All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be submitted to the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower 
-103-

in a notice to the Administrative Agent.  The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of the Bridge Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b)Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) of this Section 9.5 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 Pro Rata Share (determined as of the 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.
Section 9.6Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, all future holders of the Bridge Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.
(b)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Bridge Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be permitted to sell any such participating interest to (i) any of the Permitted Investors, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective associated investment funds, (ii) 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) or (iii) a Disqualified Institution (it being understood that the list of Disqualified Institutions shall be available to all Lenders).  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Bridge Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1.  The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Bridge Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 2.14 as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder.  The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled through the Lender granting the participation to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, Section 2.18 and 2.19, including the requirements of Section 2.17(f) and (g) (it being agreed that any required forms shall be provided solely to the participating Lender)) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Bridge Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent that entitlement to a greater amount results from a Change in Law that 
-104-

occurs after such Participant acquires the applicable participation, unless such transfer was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Each Lender that sells a participation (and each Granting Lender whose SPC provides a Bridge Loan) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant (and each such SPC) and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s (and each such SPC’s) interest in the Bridge Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”).  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 the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant (or any SPC) or any information relating to a Participant’s (or a SPC’s) interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent 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.
(c)Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable Law and the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, prior to the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a)(1), (7) or (8) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof, or to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such Assignor and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (1) if any assignment is being made to any Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund, (2) if a Demand Failure Event has occurred and is continuing or (3) to the extent that the Arrangers, in their capacity as lenders, would, after giving effect to such assignments, hold at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bridge Loans, such assignments will not be subject to the above described consents; provided, further, that no assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) of Bridge Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests in the Bridge Loan Facility under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any Bridge Loans) shall have Bridge Loans in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided, however, no Lender shall be permitted to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) any of the Permitted Investors, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective associated investment funds, (ii) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any 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) or (iv) any Disqualified Institution (it being understood that the list of Disqualified Institutions shall be available to all Lenders).  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Bridge Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date).  For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for monitoring the Disqualified Institutions list and shall have no liability for non-compliance by any Lender. 
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Bridge Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases at prices at or above the full par value of such Bridge Loans without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that:
-105-

(i)any Bridge Loans acquired by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans so retired and cancelled;
(ii)any Bridge Loans acquired by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (it being understood that any Bridge Loans so contributed shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans so contributed and cancelled;
(iii)the relevant Affiliated Lender and the Assignor shall have executed an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance and shall have identified itself as an Affiliated Lender on such Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv)after giving effect to the relevant assignment and to all other assignments to all Affiliated Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Bridge Loans then held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided, that each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent have no duty to monitor, and shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with, any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (d)(iv) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (it being understood and agreed that the Affiliated Lender Cap is intended to apply to any Bridge Loan made available to Affiliated Lenders by means other than formal assignment (e.g., as a result of an acquisition of another Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) by any Affiliated Lender); provided, further, that to the extent that any assignment to any Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of Bridge Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellation thereof), the assignment of the relevant excess amount shall be null and void;
(v)no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of the entry into a binding agreement with respect to the relevant open market purchase;
(vi)by its acquisition of Bridge Loans, each relevant Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:
(A)the Bridge Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Required Lender or other Lender vote; provided that (x) such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to vote (and the Bridge Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall not be so disregarded) with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that requires the vote of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, as the case may be, and (y) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall (1) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders or (2) deprive any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder, in each case without the consent of such Affiliated Lender; and
(B)such Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as an Affiliated Lender, will not be entitled to (i) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof) solely 
-106-

among the Administrative Agent and any Lender or solely among Lenders and, in each case, to which the Loan Parties and their representatives are not invited, or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive a Funding Notice and notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Bridge Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2);
(vii)no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that, as of the date of any such purchase or assignment, it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 9.6(d); and
(viii)in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the interest of any Affiliated Lender in any Bridge Loan will be deemed to be voted in the same proportion as the vote of Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders on the relevant matter and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code of the United States is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (i) deemed not to be in good faith and (ii) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States; provided that each Affiliated Lender will be entitled to vote its interest in any Bridge Loan for any plan of reorganization or other arrangement with respect to which the relevant vote being sought proposes to treat the interest of such Affiliated Lender in such Bridge Loan in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Bridge Loans held by other Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Bridge Loans to any Debt Fund Affiliate, and any Debt Fund Affiliate may, from time to time, purchase Bridge Loans and/or Commitments on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases without the consent of the Administrative Agent, in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in subclauses (i) through (viii) of this clause (d); provided that the Bridge Loans held by all Debt Fund Affiliates shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the portion of the Bridge Loans that accounts for more than 49.9% of the relevant Required Lender action shall be deemed to be voted pro rata along with other Lenders that are not Debt Fund Affiliates.  Any Bridge Loans acquired by any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Bridge Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon thereof); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans so contributed and cancelled.
(e)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (ii) no such fee shall be required to be paid in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof), the Administrative Agent shall (A) promptly 
-107-

accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower.  On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the applicable Promissory Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Promissory Note to such Assignee in an amount equal to the Bridge Loans assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained Bridge Loans, upon request, a new Promissory Note to the Assignor in an amount equal to the Bridge Loans retained by it hereunder.  Such new Promissory Note or Promissory Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Promissory Note or Promissory Notes replaced thereby.
(f)For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.6 concerning assignments of Bridge Loans and Promissory Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Bridge Loans and Promissory Notes, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Bridge Loan or Promissory Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable Law.
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Bridge Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Bridge Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Bridge Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Bridge Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Bridge Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Bridge Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof.  Each party hereto also agrees that each SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, Section 2.18 and 2.19, including the requirements of Section 2.17(f) and (g) (it being agreed that any required forms shall be provided solely to the Granting Lender)) with respect to its granted interest in the Commitments and the Bridge Loans outstanding from time to time as if such SPC were a Lender; provided that no SPC shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the interest granted by such Granting Lender to such SPC had no such grant occurred, except to the extent that entitlement to a greater amount results from a change in Law that occurs after such interest was granted, unless such transfer was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or a portion of its interests in any Bridge Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Bridge Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Bridge Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld.  This 
-108-

Section 9.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Bridge Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.
Section 9.7Setoff.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 9.8Counterparts.
(a)This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(b)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.
Section 9.9Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.10Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement (“Information”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent, any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.14 or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its or its affiliates’ employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, it being understood and agreed 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, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty or potential counterparty in swap agreements with the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or such contractual counterparty’s or potential counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such actual or potential contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such actual or potential contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.14 or substantially equivalent provisions), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) to the extent required in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section 9.14, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (j) to any other party hereto, (k) with the consent of the Borrower, (l) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (m) to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, provided that disclosure pursuant to this clause (m) is limited to non-identifying information; provided that, in the event a Lender receives a summons or subpoena to disclose confidential information to any party, such Lender shall, if legally permitted and practicable, endeavor to notify the Borrower thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and to afford the Loan Parties an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as the Loan Parties may deem reasonable.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.14 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.
Section 9.15Accounting Changes.  In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders so request), then the Borrower and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made.  Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered in accordance with Section 9.1, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred.  “Accounting Change” refers to (i) any election by the Borrower to apply IFRS accounting principles in lieu of GAAP in accordance with the definition of “GAAP” hereunder and (ii) any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the FASB, GAAP, any other generally accepted accounting authority which provides regulation standard or, if applicable, the SEC.
Section 9.16WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

Section 9.17Conversion of Currencies.
(a)If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
(b)The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
Section 9.18USA PATRIOT ACT.  Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Section 9.19Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent 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 or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy 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 Effective 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 Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.20Release of Guarantees.  Each of the Lenders  irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to be the agent for the representative of the Lenders with respect to the Guarantee Agreements and the Administrative Agent agrees that the Guarantee of any Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released, and no further action by such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee under a Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document, if:
(i)in connection with any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or dissolution) to a Person that is 
-112-

not the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition does not violate this Agreement;
(ii)in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary and that results in such Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale, transfer or other disposition does not violate this Agreement;
(iii)if the Borrower designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under Section 6.1(c) and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” in this Agreement; and
(iv)solely with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary that became a Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.7, so long as such Restricted Subsidiary does not then have outstanding any other Indebtedness or guarantees that would give rise to an obligation to provide a guarantee pursuant to Section 6.7, upon the release or discharge by such Guarantor of Indebtedness that gave rise to such Restricted Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor or the Guarantor being released as a Guarantor of such Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and if any such Indebtedness of such Guarantor is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated).
Section 9.21Acknowledgment 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 the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any 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 the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 9.22Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties 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 
-113-

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.
SECTION 10.EXCHANGE NOTES
Section 10.1Trustee.  The Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable after being requested to do so by the Administrative Agent at any time commencing on the date that is one month prior to the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to act as Exchange Notes Trustee (it being understood that U.S. Bank National Association is acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
Section 10.2Terms of Exchange Notes.  At any time on or after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, from time to time at the option of the Lenders, the Extended Term Loans of such Lender may be exchanged by such Lender in whole or in part for Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Extended Term Loans. The terms of the Exchange Notes will be set forth in the Exchange Notes Indenture, and the Exchange Notes shall be senior in right of payment and rank pari passu with any other senior indebtedness of the Borrower, including the Extended Term Loans. In addition:
(a)Each exchanging Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such exchange (each such notice, an “Exchange Request”) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of exchange specified in such Exchange Request. The Exchange Request shall specify the principal amount of the Extended Term Loans to be exchanged (which shall be, when taken together with Exchange Requests from other Lenders whose requested exchange has not yet been completed, at least $100,000,000 or, if less than $100,000,000, the entire remaining aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans of the Lenders), the date of exchange (the “Exchange Date”), which shall be a Business Day, and, subject to the terms of the Exchange Notes Indenture, the name and account of the DTC participant to be credited with such Exchange Notes (or, if applicable, the name of the proposed registered holder) and the amount of each Exchange Note requested. If any Exchange Date would occur after a “record date” and prior to the immediately following interest payment date for the Exchange Notes, then the Exchange Date shall be deferred until the date of such immediately following interest payment date. The Extended Term Loans exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be deemed repaid and canceled, and the Exchange Notes so issued shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Notes Indenture. The Exchange Notes shall be issued in the form set forth in the Exchange Notes Indenture, with such changes as the Exchange Notes Trustee or the Administrative Agent may request to effect the provisions of this Agreement and the Exchange Notes Indenture and to comply with any applicable requirement of law, regulation or trustee procedures or policies, including such changes as are reasonably necessary to cause the Exchange Notes to become eligible for deposit at DTC; provided that no such changes shall 
-114-

be adverse in any respect to the interests of the Borrower, or adverse in any material respect to the Lenders or a holder of Exchange Notes upon issuance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, (A) none of the Lenders shall be entitled to exchange an Extended Term Loan for Exchange Notes in any period between a record date and the next following interest payment date for the Exchange Notes, (ii) in connection with any such exchange, the applicable Lenders will not, at the time of such exchange, be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Extended Term Loans being exchanged for Exchange Notes on such date (provided that the Exchange Notes issued to such Lender shall accrue interest from the most recent interest payment date for Extended Term Loans prior to such exchange (or from the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, if no prior interest payment date on the Extended Term Loans has occurred)) and (iii) in no event will any Lender who exchanges Extended Term Loans for Exchange Notes be entitled to receive interest payments with respect to both the Extended Term Loans and the Exchange Notes for any portion of the same interest period.
(b)As more particularly provided in the Exchange Notes Indenture, (A) the interest rate payable by the Borrower under the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Notes Indenture shall equal the Total Cap, (B) Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Notes Indenture shall mature on July 28, 2029 and (C) the Exchange Notes shall be redeemable as set forth in the Exchange Notes Indenture and the applicable form of Exchange Notes attached thereto.
Section 10.3Eligibility.
(a)Subject to Section 10.2(a), not later than 15 Business Days following receipt by the Borrower of the first Exchange Request, (x) the Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Notes Trustee to execute and deliver, the Exchange Notes Indenture and (y) the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Notes to become eligible for deposit at DTC prior to the initial issuance thereof, including by filing with DTC an appropriately executed letter of representations and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers for the Exchange Notes prior to the initial issuance thereof.
(b)Subject to Section 10.2(a), not later than 15 Business Days following delivery of any Exchange Request, the Borrower shall (A) deliver a written notice to the Exchange Notes Trustee, directing such Exchange Notes Trustee to authenticate and deliver Exchange Notes as specified in the Exchange Request and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to effect delivery of such Exchange Notes to the requesting Lender on the requested Exchange Date. Each Exchange Note shall be recorded in book-entry form as a beneficial interest in one or more global notes deposited with the Exchange Notes Trustee as custodian for DTC and credited to the account of the exchanging Lender directly or indirectly through the participant in DTC’s system specified by such Lender in the applicable Exchange Request, unless the foregoing is not possible after the Borrower’s use of commercially reasonable efforts, in which case each Exchange Note shall be issued as a definitive registered note payable to the registered holder specified by the exchanging Lender in the applicable Exchange Request.    
Section 10.4Conditions to Exchange.  The Borrower agrees that as a condition to the effectiveness of the exchange of any Extended Term Loans for Exchange Notes:
(a)the Borrower and Exchange Notes Trustee shall have executed and delivered the Exchange Notes Indenture, and the Borrower shall have issued the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Notes Indenture; and
(b)the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent copies of resolutions of its board of directors approving the execution and delivery of the Exchange Notes Indenture and the issuance of the Exchange Notes, together with a customary certificate of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Borrower certifying such resolutions.
-115-

Section 10.5Failure to Exchange.  If the foregoing conditions set forth in Section 10.4 are not satisfied with respect to any exchange of the Extended Term Loans for Exchange Notes, then the applicable Lenders shall retain all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Extended Term Loans subject to such exchange pursuant to this Agreement until such conditions are satisfied and such Extended Term Loans are so exchanged for Exchange Notes. The Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 10.4 with respect to any exchange no later than 15 Business Days after its receipt of the Exchange Request for such exchange.
Section 10.6Repayment of Loans.  Nothing in this Section 10 shall prevent or limit the ability of the Borrower to repay or refinance the Loans in any other manner not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that following any exchange of the Extended Term Loans for Exchange Notes, such Extended Term Loans shall be deemed to have been repaid in full; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Extended Term Loans and the Exchange Notes will not be considered to constitute new indebtedness of the Borrower but will evidence the same indebtedness as was evidenced by the Bridge Loans, which indebtedness will continue with full force and effect in the form of Extended Term Loans or Exchange Notes, as the case may be.

EXECUTION VERSION

CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH NOT MATERIAL AND IS THE TYPE THAT THE REGISTRANT TREATS AS PRIVATE OR CONFIDENTIAL. REDACTED INFORMATION IS INDICATED BY [***].

RAILWAY SERVICES AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated July 28, 2021 (this “Agreement”), is by and among United States Steel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“USS”), Transtar, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Transtar”), and the subsidiaries of Transtar set forth on the signature pages hereto (each subsidiary, a “Railroad” and collectively, the “Railroads”).  Transtar and any applicable Railroad (or Railroads) may be referred to herein as a “Transtar Party” or collectively as the “Transtar Parties”.  Collectively, USS, the Railroads and Transtar may be referred to as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party” as appropriate.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, USS is the owner and operator of steel production facilities in and around Gary, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Fairfield, Alabama, Ecorse, Michigan, Lorain, Ohio and Lone Star, Texas (each, a “USS Plant” and together, the “USS Plants”), which are currently served by the Railroads, and which, upon the closing of the Transaction defined below (the “Closing”), will continue to be so served;
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021 (the “MIPA”), by and between USS and Percy Acquisition LLC (“Buyer”), USS has agreed to sell 100% of its Interests (as defined in the MIPA) to Buyer (the “Transaction”) at the Closing, which Transaction will require the prior approval of, or exemption by, the Surface Transportation Board (the “STB”);
WHEREAS, the rail services to be provided by the Transtar Parties after completion of the Transaction will remain critical to the ability of the USS Plants to maintain operations and to service USS’s customers in the intensely competitive steel markets; and
WHEREAS, in anticipation of the STB’s approval (or exemption) of the Transaction, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms upon which the Transtar Parties will provide rail services to USS from and after the Closing.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, hereby agree as follows:
 

1.SCOPE.  This Agreement sets forth the understanding of the Parties concerning the services set forth in Section 3 and the Exhibits thereto (the “Services”) to be provided or made available by the Transtar Parties to USS at and around the USS Plants.  The Services provided for in this Agreement shall be in addition to any obligations the Transtar Parties have as a result of being common carriers subject to the jurisdiction of the STB, and nothing in this Agreement shall be used to prohibit USS from also seeking redress at the STB for any violations of any Transtar Party’s obligations under the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as supplemented and amended.  All of the Services shall be performed in a method and manner and within the time schedule as set forth in the Exhibits attached to this Agreement.  The Transtar Parties shall not, and shall not permit any contractors or subcontractors performing the Services to, discriminate against USS in the manner or the scheduling of the performance of the Services.  Representatives of the Railroads and USS shall meet no less frequently than monthly to discuss the standard of service and service levels.  Except as provided in Section 3.8.4 of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall obligate USS to procure any volume of Services from the Transtar Parties; provided that USS acknowledges and agrees that one or more Transtar Parties shall be the exclusive provider of (a) the Services set forth in the Exhibits hereto at the applicable USS Plant, and (b) any Supplemental Services identified pursuant to Section 3.9 of this Agreement.  In the event that the Transtar Parties identify any service not set forth in the Exhibits hereto that would otherwise fall within the scope of a “Service” at the USS Plants in accordance with this Agreement and are being provided by third parties, and the Transtar Parties have the capability to provide such Service at the applicable USS Plant at rates equivalent to the rates charged by the applicable third party(ies), USS shall engage in good faith discussions with the Transtar Parties regarding the future provision of such Services by Transtar.  For all purposes under this Agreement, references to “USS” will be deemed to include its applicable subsidiaries and controlled affiliates and, to the extent applicable, its and their respective successors and assignees.
2.TERM.
2.1This Agreement shall become effective on the date of the Closing and shall remain in effect for an initial term of 15 years (the “Initial Term”) unless it is earlier terminated in accordance with the express termination provisions hereof.  Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically be extended for successive terms of 10 years (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless USS provides Transtar written notice of non-renewal (“Non-Renewal Notice”) no less than six months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable).  The Initial Term and Renewal Term(s) are referred to collectively hereinafter as the “Term”.
2.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 of this Agreement with respect to the Gary Plant and the Mon Valley Plant, upon USS permanently ceasing its operations at all of the USS Plants, this Agreement shall terminate unless USS provides written notice to the Transtar Parties, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the permanent 
- 2 -    

cessation of operations at all of the USS Plants (or at the last then-operating USS Plant), that it elects to continue the term of this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period specified in such notice, not to exceed 24 months; provided, however, that if USS permanently ceases its operations at both the Gary and Mon Valley Plants prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, USS shall, within ten (10) business days of such written notice to Transtar, pay Transtar an amount equal to the sum of (a) the full MAVR that would have been paid to Transtar for the year in which such permanent cessation of operations occurs (less the aggregate amount of payments actually made under this Agreement by or at the direction of USS to the Transtar Parties for the Services set forth in Section 3.7 hereof for such year) plus (b) the full MAVR that would have been paid to Transtar for any year(s) subsequent to the year in which such permanent cessation of operations occurs.  Subject to USS providing Transtar with prior written notice and a 30-day right to cure following delivery of such written notice, USS may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term upon continuation of a persistent and willful failure by the Transtar Parties to perform the Services at the standards set forth herein.
2.3Material Cessation of Steel Production.
2.3.1For purposes of this Section 2.3, “materially cease production” shall mean either (a) that all railcar volumes at a Subject Facility (as hereinafter defined) are reduced to an average of (i) 400 or fewer railcars per month at the USS facility in and around Gary, Indiana that is served by Gary Railway Company (the “Gary Plant”) or (ii) 500 or fewer railcars per month at the USS facilities in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and served by Union Railroad Company, LLC that are commonly referred to as the Edgar Thompson Plant, the Clairton Plant and the Irvin Plant (collectively, the “Mon Valley Plant”), in each case during any continuous period of eighteen (18) consecutive months, or (b) USS publicly announces its intention to permanently cease operations at the Gary Plant or the Mon Valley Plant (as applicable).  If, at any time during the Term, USS materially ceases production at the Gary Plant or the Mon Valley Plant (as applicable, the “Subject Facility”), the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall apply; provided, however, that if any reduced railcar volumes during the measurement period in subsection (a) result from planned or necessary maintenance, upgrades or investments, or a Force Majeure Event as defined in Section 21 of this Agreement (each, an “Extraordinary Event”), the 18-month measurement period shall be tolled for the duration of such Extraordinary Event; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that a reduction in railcar volumes due to general economic conditions or a reduction in demand for products manufactured by USS or the steel industry generally shall not be an Extraordinary Event for purposes of this Section 2.3.1.  Upon request by Transtar, given at any time during the Exclusive Negotiation Period (as defined in this Section 2.3.1) USS shall provide Transtar with a mutual confidentiality agreement containing terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in that certain Mutual Confidentiality Agreement dated September 17, 2020 between USS and Fortress Worldwide Transportation and Infrastructure General Partnership, and which 
- 3 -    

shall be for a term of two (2) years (the “NDA”).  USS and Transtar shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement promptly on the terms and conditions of the NDA and to execute and deliver such NDA.  Upon execution of an NDA, Transtar shall have the exclusive right (i) to conduct due diligence with respect to a potential purchase of the Subject Facility; provided, that USS will provide, or make available to Transtar (with the right to make copies), all such information regarding the Subject Facility as Transtar may reasonably request (including without limitation all (A) title reports, (B) surveys, (C) leases, and (D) environmental reports, studies or other documentation available to USS relating or referring to the environmental condition of, and the presence of hazardous materials or other contaminants on or about, the Subject Facility (the foregoing materials described in this clause (D) collectively, “Environmental Reports”)) and (ii) to negotiate with USS the purchase of all, and not less than all, of the real property owned at such time by USS at the Subject Facility, together with all buildings, improvements and fixtures located thereon and all appurtenances thereto (the “Subject Real Property”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3, for a period that begins on the date of USS’s receipt of a signed NDA and ends on the earlier of (w) the date that is six (6) months after the date of USS’s receipt of a signed NDA, (x) the date of Transtar’s failure to affirm, in writing, within five (5) business days of any request by USS, that Transtar is continuing to pursue the proposed acquisition in good faith on terms not less favorable than the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, or (y) the date of any notification to USS that Transtar is terminating discussions in respect of such proposed acquisition (the “Exclusive Negotiation Period”).  USS shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, solicit any offer from any third party for the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or a portion of the Subject Real Property, negotiate or hold any discussions regarding the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition to a third party of all or a portion of the Subject Real Property, or provide any information regarding the Subject Real Property to a third party in connection with a potential purchase, sale or lease of all or a portion of the Subject Real Property, in each case from the date upon which USS materially ceases production at a Subject Facility until the expiration of the Exclusive Negotiation Period; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the limitations in this Section 2.3.1 shall not prohibit USS from soliciting any offer or negotiating or holding discussions with any party regarding (1) a sale of the equity interests of USS or (2) a direct or indirect sale of the assets or operations of a Subject Facility to a purchaser that intends to utilize the Subject Facility for industrial purposes (each, a “USS Transaction”); and provided further, that, in connection with a sale pursuant to subsection (2), USS shall require the purchaser to enter into a railway services agreement with Transtar on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, a Minimum Annual Volume Requirement of no less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) annually for a period of three (3) years).  The Parties acknowledge and agree that a USS Transaction that complies with the terms of this Section 2.3.1 will supersede in all respects Transtar’s rights under this Section 2.3 with respect to the applicable Subject Facility.

2.3.2At any time during the Exclusive Negotiation Period and upon execution of the NDA, Transtar may deliver to USS an offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Subject Real Property.  In order for the Offer to be considered by USS, it shall (a) be a fully financed all cash offer with no financing contingency or condition, (b) include, as an attachment, a draft purchase and sale agreement that Transtar would be willing to execute, which shall (i) include the assumption of all known and unknown environmental liabilities at the Subject Real Property by Transtar and an indemnity from Transtar with respect to such known and unknown environmental liabilities, provided, that the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 2.3.4) of the Subject Real Property shall take into account the estimated amount of any environmental remediation, mitigation, compliance or other costs reasonably likely to be incurred by Transtar as a result of its assumption of known environmental liabilities (taking into account Transtar’s intended use of the Subject Facility, which use shall be for industrial purposes), (ii) include the Required Seller Representations (defined below in this Section 2.3.2), (iii) otherwise be on an “as-is, where-is” basis (except for matters referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)), (iv) not include any closing conditions other than (A) receipt of any required regulatory or antitrust approvals, (B) that there is no order or pending litigation by a government authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting or enjoining the transaction; (C) that the other Party’s representations and warranties of the Parties are true and correct in all material respects as of the closing date of the conveyance, and (D) that the other Party’s covenants have been complied with in all material respects, (v) require Transtar to make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required regulatory approvals (including a covenant to accept any condition(s) imposed on such approvals; provided, that Transtar shall not be required to accept any condition(s) that would result in a material adverse effect on Transtar or its ability to utilize the Subject Real Property for Transtar’s intended purposes), (vi) not include, and shall not convey to Transtar any interest in, any intellectual property or intellectual property rights of USS or its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any “grade book” or other know-how related to the steel making process or any other operations at a Subject Facility, (vii) include Transtar’s determination of the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property, and (viii) other material terms and conditions as are customary in connection with transactions of a similar nature (the “Offer Notice”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Transtar’s right to conduct environmental due diligence shall be limited to a Phase I environmental assessment (which shall be conducted at Transtar’s sole cost and expense), and notwithstanding the contents of such Phase I environmental assessment, Transtar acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be permitted to conduct any invasive testing of any kind or nature and any request for any invasive testing shall immediately terminate this Section 2.3 in all respects.  For the avoidance of doubt, Transtar will have the right to deliver no more than one Offer and Offer Notice; provided, however, that if the cause of such material cessation of production at the applicable Subject Facility was a public announcement by USS pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(b), and USS subsequently withdraws or overrides such announcement and determines to continue material steel production at such Subject 
- 5 -    

Facility, then the right of Transtar to deliver an additional Offer and Offer Notice shall be reinstated.  As used herein, “Required Seller Representations” shall mean the following representations and warranties made by USS and/or its affiliate(s) (as applicable) as seller party(ies):  (1) that each such seller party is in good standing under the laws of the State of its formation, (2) that each such seller party has duly authorized the execution and performance of the purchase and sale agreement and has received all approvals necessary to execute and deliver the purchase and sale agreement and to consummate the sale transaction(s) contemplated thereby, (3) that each such seller party owns fee title to all real property at the applicable Subject Facility, subject only to matters that are in the public records or that, individually and collectively, would not interfere in any material respect with the ability of Transtar to use the Subject Facility for its intended industrial purposes, (4) that, except as otherwise disclosed to Transtar in a schedule to the purchase agreement, such seller parties have not received written notification of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings commenced or threatened by any applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction over any portion of the real property that is the subject of such purchase and sale agreement, (5) that, except with respect to any portion of the Subject Facility to be retained by seller party(ies) pursuant to the final sentence of this Section 2.3.2, the real property and improvements at the Subject Facility being conveyed by such purchase and sale agreement constitute all of the real property at the Subject Facility, and (6) that the real property and improvements at the Subject Facility are not subject to any leases, license agreements or similar agreements giving any third party the right to use, occupy or possess such real property (or any portion thereof) that would materially interfere with Transtar’s use of the Subject Facility.  Each of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be qualified in all respects by any title report or survey obtained by or provided to Transtar, by USS’s public filings or as has been otherwise disclosed to Transtar.  In the event that continued use of a portion of a Subject Facility is necessary for USS’s ongoing operations following the sale of such Subject Facility to Transtar, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for (i) the exclusion of such portion of the Subject Facility from the sale, if feasible, or, (ii) if such exclusion is not feasible, a lease, easement or other arrangement to enable USS to use such portion of the Subject Facility for its ongoing operations; provided that the Parties shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the exclusion of such portion of the Subject Facility from the sale, or the terms of such lease, easement or other arrangement (as applicable), shall not materially interfere with Transtar’s intended use of the Subject Facility and takes into consideration USS’s ongoing operations.
2.3.3The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall no longer apply and the obligations of the Parties as set forth in this Section 2.3 shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect if (a) any Competitor acquires (i) a controlling equity interest, directly or indirectly, in any Transtar Party providing Services to a Subject Facility or the ultimate parent entity of Transtar, or (ii) the right to appoint more than one member to the board of directors of the ultimate parent of Transtar, or (b) any Transtar Party materially breaches the terms of this Agreement and does not timely cure such breach 
- 6 -    

after receipt of written notice thereof.  Further, the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall no longer apply to, and the obligations of the Parties as set forth in this Section 2.3 shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to, the material cessation of production at a Subject Facility, if Transtar does not deliver an Offer Notice by the expiration of the Exclusive Negotiation Period with respect to such Subject Facility, or the Exclusive Negotiation Period with respect to such Subject Facility terminates or expires because either (x) Transtar fails to affirm, in writing, within five (5) business days of any request by USS, that Transtar is continuing to pursue the proposed acquisition in good faith on terms not less favorable than the terms set forth in the applicable Offer Notice, or (y) USS is informed by Transtar that it is terminating discussions in respect of such proposed acquisition.  For purposes of this Section 2.3 (and Section 12), “Competitor” means any person that is, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, engaged in (A) the business of owning or operating a flat-rolled steel mill or an energy pipe (but not a structural pipe), oil country tubular goods and linepipe, electrical steel mill, a scrap alternatives facility, including but not limited to, a pig machine, or any substantially similar or substantially equivalent mill, facility or machine, or (B) research, development or design of a flat-rolled or energy pipe (but not structural pipe), oil country tubular goods and linepipe, electrical steel mill, scrap alternatives, including, but not limited to, a pig machine or any substantially similar or substantially equivalent mill, facility or machine.
2.3.4If Transtar delivers an Offer Notice to USS in accordance with Section 2.3.2, USS and Transtar shall negotiate in good faith during the balance of the Exclusive Negotiation Period to reach agreement on the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property and the other terms and conditions of a definitive purchase and sale agreement on terms consistent with, but no less favorable to USS, than the terms set forth in the Offer (including the draft purchase and sale agreement attached thereto).  For purposes of this Section 2.3, “Fair Market Value” means the purchase price that would be negotiated in an arm’s length, free market transaction between an informed and willing seller and buyer under no pressure or compulsion to sell or buy, as applicable.  If USS and Transtar cannot agree on the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property and the Exclusive Negotiation Period expires in accordance with clause (w) in the definition thereof, on the first business day after expiration of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, USS and Transtar shall (a) each submit to the other a good faith determination of the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property, which, in the case of Transtar, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value proposed in the Offer Notice (each, a “Disputed Fair Market Value”), and (b) submit the Disputed Fair Market Values of both Parties to the respective Chief Executive Officers (or equivalent executives) of USS and Transtar for discussion and resolution.  The Chief Executive Officers (or equivalent executives) of each of USS and Transtar will meet by telephone or videoconference within ten (10) business days of submission of the Disputed Fair Market Value to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute.  If no resolution is reached between the Chief Executive Officers (or equivalent executives) within such ten (10) business day period, Transtar may, no later than five (5) business days after the 
- 7 -    

expiration of such ten (10) business day period, submit the dispute to an independent, nationally recognized real estate appraisal firm to be mutually agreed upon between USS and Transtar.  If USS and Transtar are unable to mutually agree on such real estate appraisal firm, then each of USS and Transtar shall select an independent, nationally recognized real estate appraisal firm and those two real estate appraisal firms shall jointly select another independent, nationally recognized real estate appraisal firm (such firm or firms, as applicable, the “Appraiser”).  All fees and expenses associated with the engagement of the Appraiser(s) hereunder, including legal counsel and any other third party advisors engaged by the Appraiser(s), if applicable, shall be borne equally by Transtar and USS.  Within ten (10) business days of the Appraiser’s engagement, each of USS and Transtar shall submit to the Appraiser and to the other Party (y) such Party’s determination of the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property, which shall be no less than such Party’s Disputed Fair Market Value and (z) a statement of such Party’s position supporting its proposed Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property.  Within twenty-five (25) business days of the Appraiser’s receipt of USS and Transtar’s submissions, the Appraiser shall deliver to USS and Transtar a determination of the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property.  
2.3.5  Upon determination of the Fair Market Value, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree the other terms and conditions set forth in the draft purchase and sale agreement submitted with Transtar’s Offer, in each case in accordance with Section 2.3.4.  If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on such other terms and conditions of the purchase and sale agreement within fifteen (15) business days after the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property has been determined, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 10 shall apply.  If the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property or other terms and conditions of the purchase and sale agreement, in each case determined in the manner provided for in Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 of this Agreement, are not acceptable to Transtar, then Transtar may notify USS pursuant to Section 2.3.1 that Transtar is terminating discussions with respect to its Offer, in which case Transtar’s right to purchase the Subject Real Property pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall no longer apply.  If the Fair Market Value of the Subject Real Property or other terms and conditions of the purchase and sale agreement, in each case determined in the manner provided for in Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 of this Agreement, are not acceptable to USS, then USS may terminate discussions with respect to Transtar’s Offer, in which case Transtar’s right to purchase the Subject Real Property pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall no longer apply; provided, however, that USS shall, from and after the date of such termination, pay to Transtar an annual fee of $10,000,000 for each Subject Facility at which USS materially ceases production (the “Standby Fee”) for each year remaining in the Term; provided, however, that the Standby Fee shall be reduced annually by all amounts payable by USS to Transtar for all railcar related payments and all non-railcar related service payments hereunder.  If railcar volumes subsequently increase to an average of 401 or more railcars per month at the Gary Plant or 501 or more railcars per month at the Mon Valley Plant, in each case during any continuous period of six (6) consecutive months (the “Standby Fee Suspension Period”), then 
- 8 -    

USS’s obligation to pay the Standby Fee to Transtar shall be suspended; provided, that if railcar volumes are thereafter reduced to an average of less than 400 or fewer railcars at the Gary Plant or 500 or fewer railcars at the Mon Valley Plant (as applicable), in each case during any continuous period of three (3) months following the Standby Fee Suspension Period, USS shall thereafter be required to pay the applicable Standby Fee to Transtar for each year remaining in the Term.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Standby Fee for each Subject Facility shall not exceed $40,000,000 in the aggregate.
2.3.6Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section 2.3 may only be exercised by Transtar and shall not be permitted to be assigned independent of this Agreement in any respect without the express written consent of USS, which shall be in its sole and absolute discretion.  Any attempted transfer, assignment or exercise by a party other than Transtar shall be void ab initio and shall automatically terminate this Section 2.3.
2.3.7This Section 2.3 may not be exercised by Transtar in the event that Transtar is in breach of this Agreement in any respect and the determination to materially cease production in Section 2.3.1 shall take into consideration the effects of any breach or breaches of this Agreement by Transtar during any measurement period and the impact of such breach on monthly railcar volumes.
3.SERVICES AND CERTAIN STANDARDS.  This Section 3 sets forth the Services to be provided hereunder, certain pricing matters and certain service level standards.  The provisions of this Section 3 shall be deemed to incorporate by reference the correspondingly numbered Exhibits attached hereto.  The Parties acknowledge that each of the USS Plants has separate and unique pricing and service levels and that the Transtar Parties will provide such pricing and service consistent with this Agreement and the Exhibits.  The Transtar Parties shall have the exclusive right to provide the Services described in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.7 at the USS Plants identified as receiving such Services in the corresponding Exhibits, it being understood that any Supplemental Services identified by the Parties pursuant to Section 3.9 will be subject to such exclusivity.
3.1Railcar Maintenance and Repair Services.  The Transtar Parties shall provide railcar maintenance and repair Services on railcars used in the service of the USS Plants, including on the Premises (as defined in Section 3.11) of such USS Plants to the extent necessary.  The foregoing maintenance and repair Services shall be provided in accordance with applicable requirements of the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”), other applicable laws, and the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”), in each case in effect on the date on which the Services are provided.  USS shall pay to the applicable Railroad for such Services initial rates per man hour for labor set forth on Exhibit 3.3 (which are incorporated by reference on 
- 9 -    

Exhibit 3.1), which rates shall be adjusted annually in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5, together with the cost of materials.
3.2Locomotive Maintenance, Inspection & Repair Services.  The Transtar Parties shall provide locomotive maintenance, inspection and repair Services on railroad locomotives used in the service of the USS Plants consistent with this Section 3.2 and as otherwise set forth on Exhibit 3.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing Services shall be performed in accordance with applicable requirements of the FRA.  The Transtar Parties will not charge USS for intra-Railroad transportation of railcars and locomotives used in the service of any USS Plant in connection with any maintenance, inspection or repair activities.
3.3Maintenance-of-Way Services.
3.3.1The Transtar Parties shall provide maintenance-of-way Services, including emergency repair services and track cleaning, on railroad facilities owned by USS within and around the USS Plants as more fully set forth in Exhibit 3.3, which is incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing Services shall be provided in accordance with FRA Class I railroad track standards or such other FRA standard or USS standard in effect as of the Closing, in each case as may be requested by USS.  USS shall pay the applicable Railroad for Services identified in this Section 3.3 in accordance with the rates set forth on Exhibit 3.3, which rates shall be adjusted annually in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5.
3.3.2With respect to all maintenance-of-way Services to be provided pursuant to Section 3.3.1 and as otherwise may be performed on the track of any Railroad, the Transtar Parties shall provide USS with advance notice (to as great a degree as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances) of any maintenance or shutdown activities that would reasonably be expected to render track out of service for an amount of time that would impact the Services contemplated hereunder.
3.4Car Management.  The Transtar Parties shall provide sufficient reports as may be necessary for USS to manage inbound rail traffic and car management within each USS Plant.  In connection with providing the Services, the Transtar Parties shall accord USS first priority and right to utilize the fleet of the applicable Railroad.  For five years from the date hereof, the Transtar Parties shall not permit the fleet size of the respective Railroads to be reduced from the levels set forth in Exhibit 3.4 without the prior written consent of USS (it being understood that, as and to the extent that Exhibit 3.4 expressly requires fleet sizes to be maintained for any longer period, the prior written consent of USS will be required to reduce the fleet size of the respective Railroads from such levels during the applicable period set forth in Exhibit 3.4).  From and after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, and subject to the minimum fleet size requirements for certain car types set forth in Exhibit 3.4, the Transtar Parties may, in their discretion, adjust the fleet size of the respective Railroads; provided, that such 
- 10 -    

adjustments shall not impair or interfere with the Transtar Parties’ ability to provide Services to USS in the manner and within the time schedule and subject to the other service levels set forth in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto.  No less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of each calendar year during the Term, USS and Transtar shall consult with one another regarding anticipated rail traffic volumes, and corresponding car requirements, for the following calendar year.  
3.5Railway Service Fee Escalation.  Effective from and after the Closing, the fees (the “Base Fees”) for the Services described in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 shall be as set forth in the correspondingly numbered Exhibit to this Agreement.  The Base Fees shall be adjusted upward or downward annually on January 1 by [***]; provided, however, that the Base Fees shall in no case be adjusted to an amount that is lower than the initial Base Fees for such Services that were in effect as of the Closing.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 of this Agreement, any other increase, decrease, change, modification, addition or deletion to the Base Fees shall be negotiated in good faith by the Parties and upon agreement (which will be reached, if at all, in the Parties’ respective sole discretion) implemented either through tariffs, contracts or other appropriate documentation.  [***].  If there is a dispute between the Parties with reference to this Section 3.5, any adjustment determined as a result of the application of the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement shall apply only from and after the date of the applicable resolution.
3.6Annual Plans and Significant Projects.  The Transtar Parties will confer with USS and prepare a proposed service plan annually, to be submitted to USS no later than October 1 for the next calendar year, with respect to USS and Railroad track, locomotives and freight cars.  Each proposed plan will project for five years, and will cover the scope, cost and payment schedule for track maintenance, including tie and rail maintenance, turnouts, grade crossings, locomotive maintenance, bridge maintenance and replacement (to the extent that such bridge maintenance and/or replacement are the responsibility of the Transtar Parties pursuant to this Agreement), car maintenance, as well as any other projects USS may desire to maintain plant service levels.  The Transtar Parties shall also deliver to USS, by August 31 of each year, a three-year proposal for materially significant projects and an annual capex budget for all Railroads.
3.7Rail & Material Handling Service.
3.7.1    The Transtar Parties shall provide rail and material handling service for the direct or indirect benefit of USS with respect to all rail transportation into and out of the USS Plants (the “Rail & Material Handling Services”), including the following:
(a)inbound trains of raw materials from applicable interchange points to points within the USS Plants or to a yard for later 
- 11 -    

movement to the applicable USS Plant by the applicable Railroad;
(b)outbound train raw material cars made empty at USS Plants from points within the applicable USS Plant to the applicable interchange points, including the accumulation and building of empty car trains at any yards;
(c)single-car shipments between the USS Plants and interchange points;
(d)single-car shipments between the USS Plants and USS customers or vendors located on the applicable Railroad;
(e)non-raw material train shipments between the applicable USS Plant, including the accumulation and building of empty car trains at any yards, and the Railroad interchange points;
(f)raw materials, steel and other materials as may be tendered by USS between local material locations and the USS Plants, including associated empty car movements;
(g)any and all other accessorial services reasonably required.
To the extent an accessorial service was not provided by the Transtar Parties prior to the Closing, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a scope of service and rate consistent with the provisions of Section 3.9 and the framework of this Agreement.
3.7.2    All material handling services provided at the USS Plants will be provided under procedures for the protection of the quality of said material approved by USS, acting reasonably.  All of the foregoing Rail & Material Handling Services shall be performed by the Transtar Parties in accordance with the Service Commitment standards set forth on Exhibit 3.7 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and at the rates provided for in this Agreement.
3.7.3    Unless otherwise modified in the Exhibits, the Transtar Parties shall further provide the following Services to all USS Plants:
(a)The Railroads will provide the reports identified in Exhibit 3.7.
(b)The Railroads will participate daily, or as reasonably required by USS, with representatives of USS in USS’s daily Coordinating Meetings, as described in Exhibit 3.7.

(c)The Railroads will hold cars of non-hazardous, bulk raw materials, as described in Exhibit 3.7.
(d)The Railroads will hold empty railcars for outbound loading.  The Railroads will be permitted to put foreign cars on constructive placement only if the car owner(s) charges the applicable Railroad car hire while waiting for loading as described in Exhibit 3.7.
(e)USS and the Transtar Parties will in good faith work cooperatively to maintain existing and or negotiate new car hire agreements with the applicable Railroads’ connecting carriers, as reasonably requested by USS, in each case to the extent related to the provision of the Services.
(f)The Railroads will provide certified weighing services, and associated reports, as may be reasonably requested by USS.
3.8Rail & Material Handling Service Rates and Escalation.  In all cases under this Section 3.8, the Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates and Initial Joint Line Rates, and in each case all adjustments thereto, will be determined separately for each Railroad and applicable USS Plant.
3.8.1Initial Rates.  The initial local rates and all related accessorial rates and charges to be paid by USS for local Rail & Material Handling Service shall be as provided in existing applicable tariffs, rail transportation contracts, exempt quotations and other agreements between USS and each Railroad set forth in Schedule 3.8.1 to this Agreement (collectively, the “Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates”).  The Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates in effect at the time of the Closing shall remain in effect with respect to the applicable Railroad(s) and USS Plant(s) until January 1 following the date of Closing unless modified by agreement of both Transtar and USS.  The rates to be charged to USS by connecting line-haul carriers for transportation to/from the point of interchange with the Transtar Parties will be the subject of separate transportation contracts, tariffs or quotes with those carriers.  The Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates charged by the Transtar Parties will be adjusted annually in accordance with Section 3.8.2 of this Agreement.  To the extent the Parties agree that there is not a currently effective Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rate corresponding to a Rail & Material Handling Service to be provided under Section 3.7, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a rate for such service consistent with the provisions and the framework of this Agreement and any prior agreement in effect at the time of the Transaction.
3.8.2Adjustment to Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rate.  The initial Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates and associated terms and conditions shall remain 
- 13 -    

in effect until January 1 following the date of Closing.  The Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates shall thereafter be adjusted upward or downward annually on January 1 by [***]; provided, however, that the Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rate for a Service shall in no case be adjusted to an amount that is lower than the initial Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rate for such Service that was in effect as of the Closing.  [***].  If there is a dispute between the Parties with reference to this Section 3.8.2, any adjustment determined as a result of the application of the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement shall apply only from and after the date of the applicable resolution.
3.8.3Adjustment to Initial Joint Line Rate Division.  The Railroads’ initial share (“Division”) of the Joint-Line Rate for Rail & Material Handling Service provided in conjunction with one or more connecting line-haul carriers shall be the Railroads’ Division (and associated terms and conditions) in effect in contracts, tariffs and other agreements among the Railroad, USS and any connecting line-haul carrier as of the Closing as set forth in Schedule 3.8.3 to this Agreement.  Unless USS consents in writing, no Railroad shall adjust its Division of any Joint Line Rate until January 1 following Closing.  The Railroads’ Division of each Joint Line Rate shall thereafter be adjusted upward or downward annually on January 1 by [***]; provided, however, that the Railroads’ Division shall in no case be adjusted to an amount that is lower than the Division of the applicable Joint Line Rate that was in effect as of the Closing.  [***].  USS shall have the right to audit the Transtar Parties’ records one time per calendar year to ensure compliance with this provision; provided, however, that such audit shall be conducted by an independent auditor.  The Transtar Parties hereby consent to USS requesting information from connecting line-haul carriers, and for connecting line-haul carriers to provide USS with information, on whether the applicable Railroad’s Divisions are in compliance with this Agreement and whether each Railroad has priced its Divisions on a new movement in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon USS’s request, the Transtar Parties shall confirm such consent in writing to the connecting line-haul carriers and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the compliance of all connecting line-haul carriers with such requests.
3.8.4Minimum Annual Volume Requirement.  In consideration for the Transaction and the obligations undertaken by the Transtar Parties pursuant to this Agreement, during the Term of this Agreement, (a) USS shall tender to the applicable Railroad (or specify a joint-line route with connecting carriers that includes the applicable Railroad for) 100% of Rail Shipments to and from each USS Plant, and (b) USS shall not take any action to circumvent the movement of Rail Shipments to or from any USS Plant via joint-line routes that include the applicable Railroad, including by use of alternate routing via any other rail carrier, transloading, construction (by USS or a rail carrier) of a spur or additional trackage, or by any other means.  For purposes of this Section 3.8.4, “Rail Shipments” means (x) all shipments moving to or from the USS Plants by rail only, and (y) all multimodal shipments moving to or from the USS Plants by a combination of rail and other modes of transportation for which 50% or more of the total mileage between the USS Plant and the origin or destination (as applicable) 
- 14 -    

occurs by rail; provided that this subsection (y) shall not apply to multimodal shipments moving to the USS Plants if USS does not solely control the selection of transportation mode(s) for such shipments.  Without limiting in any way the applicability of the MAVR, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not be construed to require USS to effect any transit of goods by Rail Shipment.  From and after the Closing until the fifth anniversary of the Closing, the total Base Local Rail & Material Handling Rates and the total Railroads’ Division of Joint Line Rates payable by USS in each year shall be the greater of (i) the aggregate amount paid hereunder by USS (or at the direction of USS) to the Transtar Parties for the Services set forth in Section 3.7 and (ii) the following amounts (the “Minimum Annual Volume Requirement” or “MAVR”):
Between Closing and 1st Anniversary            $ 85,800,000
Between 1st Anniversary and 2nd Anniversary        $ 92,300,000
Between 2nd Anniversary and 3rd Anniversary        $ 94,500,000
Between 3rd Anniversary and 4th Anniversary        $103,500,000
Between 4th Anniversary and 5th Anniversary        $106,500,000.
3.9Additional Services.  In the event that USS requests additional services beyond those required by the terms of this Agreement (“Additional Services”), the Transtar Parties shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate requests for such Additional Services.  In the event that Additional Services are agreed upon by the Parties, Transtar and the applicable Railroad, on the one hand, and USS, on the other hand, shall negotiate in good faith to establish a price or rate for such Additional Services, which prices or rates shall be consistent with the provisions and overall framework of this Agreement.  If it is determined that the Parties inadvertently failed to include in the Exhibits to Section 3 (a) any Services that were being provided by the Transtar Parties at a USS Plant or (b) the service level at which any Services were being provided by the Transtar Parties at a USS Plant, in each case as of the date of the MIPA (“Supplemental Services” and “Supplemental Service Levels”, as applicable), the Parties shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith in amending the relevant Exhibit(s) to include such Supplemental Services and Supplemental Service Levels.  The rates, Divisions and service standards applicable to such Supplemental Services shall be the rates, Divisions and service standards that governed the provision of such Services as of the date of the MIPA (subject to any applicable adjustment pursuant to Section 3.5 or Section 3.8.3 of this Agreement).  The rates applicable to all Additional Services and Supplemental Services shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5 or 3.8.3 (as applicable).
3.10Materials; Supplies.  The Transtar Parties shall maintain at all times supplies and materials, including fuel, in sufficient quantities to perform in a timely manner all Services to be performed hereunder.  All materials used by the Railroads 
- 15 -    

shall meet all applicable FRA standards and shall comply with all other applicable laws.  Should USS provide any materials to be used by the Railroads in the performance of their respective Services hereunder, such Railroads shall inspect such materials in a prompt manner and timeframe, and such materials will be deemed accepted by such Railroads unless such Railroads promptly notify USS of any defective materials that are rejected; provided, however, that no Transtar Party shall have any liability for any latent defect in materials provided by USS that would not reasonably be expected to be discovered by a routine inspection (or other inspection customarily conducted for the applicable material or activity).
3.11Safety.  The safety of the persons employed by the Transtar Parties, their affiliates and representatives, and each of their respective contractors, subcontractors, licensees, invitees, employees, agents and other servants (collectively, as to any applicable party, its “Representatives”) on the premises of the USS Plants and other USS property (collectively, the “Premises”) shall be the responsibility of the Transtar Parties, except to the extent that bodily injuries to, or death of, such persons is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of USS or its Representatives.  The Transtar Parties shall at all times maintain good supervision over and order among its Representatives and shall not employ for the Services any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the work assigned to him or her.
3.11.1With respect to all Services, the Transtar Parties shall at all times take such measures and precautions as are reasonably necessary to prevent injuries to or the death of any of its Representatives on those portions of such Premises where the Services are to be performed (hereinafter, the “Work Sites”) other than roads and USS-owned track leading to and from such Work Sites, for which USS shall be responsible.  Such measures and precautions shall include reasonable safeguards and warnings necessary to protect Representatives of the Transtar Parties against any conditions at the Work Sites that could be dangerous and prevent accidents of any kind whenever Services are being performed in proximity to any moving or operating machinery, equipment or facilities, whether such machinery, equipment or facilities are the property of or are being operated by or for the Transtar Parties, USS, any of their respective Representatives, or other persons.
3.11.2The Transtar Parties shall confine all equipment and their respective Representatives to the Work Sites and any other areas that USS may authorize the applicable Railroad to use (including roads and track leading to and from such Work Sites).
3.11.3The Transtar Parties shall fully, faithfully and expeditiously discharge their responsibilities pertaining to maintenance of a safe job site, including but not limited to, maintaining order among their Representatives and keeping their assigned Work Sites (other than roads and USS-owned track leading to and from such Work Sites, for which USS shall be responsible) in a clean and orderly condition in compliance with USS’s 
- 16 -    

good housekeeping guidelines and laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto.  In the event that the Transtar Parties, in USS’s reasonable judgment, fail to comply with their obligations hereunder relative to the proper maintenance of the Work Sites, and the Transtar Parties fail to cure such non-compliance promptly after written notice from USS (it being understood that, in emergency situations as determined in USS’s reasonable judgment, no notice or opportunity to cure shall be required), USS may direct corrective action either by the applicable Railroad or others, in any case at the Transtar Parties’ sole cost and expense.
3.11.4The Transtar Parties shall, and shall cause their Representatives to, adhere to all plant specific safety requirements, including those referenced in USS’s then current Safety Specification S-001 and the USS Plants’ in-plant safety standards, as the same may be amended and updated from time to time, in each case, to the extent provided to the Transtar Parties.  All Representatives of the Transtar Parties shall comply with all plant specific safety exhibits listed in such Safety Specification S-001, the USS Plants’ in-plant safety standards, plant visitor rules and other applicable safety and security requirements of USS, in each case, to the extent provided to the Transtar Parties.  Additional copies of Safety Specification S-001, the USS Plants’ in-plant safety standards, visitor rules and security requirements are available from the USS Plants’ respective safety departments.  
3.11.5The Transtar Parties, in connection with performance of the Services, agree to be bound by and comply (and cause their respective Representatives to comply) fully with all USS safety requirements as are effective and made applicable by USS, acting reasonably, to the Transtar Parties’ performance of Services on USS’s Premises, including but not limited to all the safety requirements set forth in this Section 3.11 (hereinafter collectively called “Safety Requirements”), in each case, to the extent provided to the Transtar Parties.  THE TRANSTAR PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT ANY USS SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO (AND DO NOT) PROVIDE LEGAL OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OR ASSURANCES, AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO (AND SHOULD NOT) BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE INDEPENDENT SAFETY ANALYSIS AND JUDGMENT OF THE TRANSTAR PARTIES.  USS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES THAT SUCH SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN SATISFY REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAWS.  THE TRANSTAR PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY SHALL CONSULT WITH AND RELY SOLELY UPON THEIR OWN LEGAL COUNSEL OR OTHER QUALIFIED PERSONS WITH RESPECT TO SATISFYING REQUIREMENTS OF ANY APPLICABLE LAWS.  THE TRANSTAR PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) THEY ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY CLAIM OR REPRESENTATION OF USS RELATIVE TO ANY SAID SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, (B) USS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY CLAIM OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE USS SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN ANY OF SAID SAFETY REQUIREMENTS WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULTS, AND (C) USS SHALL NOT BE 
- 17 -    

RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE CONTENT, DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND/OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY SAID SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
3.11.6The Transtar Parties, for themselves, their successors and assigns, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (and for third-party claims, to defend) USS and its directors, agents, servants and employees (collectively, the “USS Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, actions or causes of action at law or in equity, together with any and all losses, costs and expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith or related thereto (collectively, “Loss and Damage”), asserted by any person or persons, including the Transtar Parties or any of their respective Representatives, for disease, bodily injuries, death or property damage, arising or in any manner growing out of any action taken by the Transtar Parties or any of its and their respective Representatives, in each case in connection with (a) the performance of the Services and (b) any breach of this Agreement, in each case except to the extent that such Loss and Damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of, or any breach of this Agreement by, USS, its affiliates or any of its and their respective Representatives; provided, however, that the indemnification obligation of the Transtar Parties under this Section 3.11.6 shall not apply to any Loss and Damage arising in connection with the transportation or handling of any TIH/PIH commodity at the request of USS unless such Loss and Damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Transtar Parties or their respective Representatives; and provided further, that upon the sale of any Transtar Railroad in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement, the remaining Transtar Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify the USS Indemnitees from and against Loss and Damage growing out of an action or failure to act by such Railroad arising after the date of such sale.  
USS, for itself, its successors and assigns, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (and for third-party claims, to defend) the Transtar Parties, their contractors and subcontractors, and their respective directors, agents, servants and employees (collectively, the “Transtar Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Loss and Damage asserted by any person or persons, including USS, its affiliates or any of its and their Representatives, for disease, bodily injuries, death or property damage, to the extent that such Loss and Damage (i) is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of, or any breach of this Agreement by, USS, its affiliates or any of its and their Representatives or (ii) arises in connection with the transportation or handling of any TIH/PIH commodity at the request of USS (unless such Loss and Damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Transtar Parties or any of their respective Representatives).
This Section 3.11.6 shall survive indefinitely the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4.LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
4.1USS and the Transtar Parties acknowledge that, in light of the unpredictable nature and extent of the damage that may be sustained by USS as a result of any failure by the Transtar Parties to perform or comply with the matters set forth on Exhibit 3.7, the actual damages which will be sustained in the event of a failure of the Transtar Parties to meet such obligations are uncertain and difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, USS and the Transtar Parties have agreed to the schedule of liquidated damages set forth in Exhibit 4.1.  The liquidated damages contemplated by this Section 4.1 shall, if USS elects to receive such liquidated damages and in fact obtains payment thereof, be USS’s sole remedy for the Transtar Parties’ failure to perform or comply with the applicable requirement of Exhibit 3.7 in respect of the instance for which liquidated damages were so elected and received.
4.2For all purposes under this Agreement, (a) a “willful” act shall mean an act or a failure to act that is voluntary and intentional or that is done with a careless disregard of the consequences to USS or the Transtar Parties (as applicable) and (b) “persistent” shall mean to act (or failure to act) in a manner repeatedly, to continue (or continue to fail) resolutely or stubbornly in spite of opposition or warning, or to continue (or continue to fail) for a period of time that is material to the operations of any USS Plant or any Railroad (as applicable).
5.MAINTENANCE OF TRANSPORTATION ASSETS.  The Transtar Parties shall maintain in good and serviceable condition, and replace as necessary, those of their respective transportation assets used to provide Services to USS pursuant to this Agreement, including rights of way and structures, locomotives, rail cars, track scales, repair facilities and signaling systems.  For five years after the date hereof, the Transtar Parties shall not take any action to abandon or discontinue any Service or remove or replace any transportation assets that are used to provide the Services to USS under this Agreement or are necessary for the efficient provision of Services to USS (unless such removed assets are replaced with assets of equal or better utility), without the prior written consent of USS.  After the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, the Transtar Parties may, in their discretion, remove or replace any transportation assets; provided, that such removal (a) shall not impair or interfere with the Transtar Parties’ ability to provide Services to USS in the manner and within the time schedule and subject to the other service levels set forth in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, and (b) complies with all applicable laws and regulations of the STB.  Any dispute between the Parties concerning maintenance of the Transtar Parties’ transportation assets shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions hereof.
6.MAINTENANCE OF INTERCHANGES AND COMPETITIVE ACCESS.  The Transtar Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain USS’s access to the competitive joint-line rail routes in which a Railroad participates as of the Closing in relation to each applicable USS Plant.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
- 19 -    

during the term of this Agreement, the Transtar Parties shall not, without USS’s written consent, terminate any interchange point with a connecting carrier shown in The Official Railway Equipment Register dated July 2021.  The Transtar Parties shall keep such interchanges open in a manner that preserves their capability to efficiently interchange railcars or unit trains with connecting carriers at service levels consistent with capabilities in place on the effective date of this Agreement and at the rates and Divisions set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties.  If a connecting line-haul carrier takes any action to close or terminate an interchange point with a Railroad, the applicable Railroad shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with such connecting carrier an agreement to maintain such interchange points or to establish alternate interchange points that do not impair or interfere with the efficiency, quality, or pricing of the Services provided by the Transtar Parties to USS and (b)[***]; provided, however, that the unilateral cancellation or termination of an interchange or joint line route in existence as of the Closing by a connecting line-haul carrier, or the refusal by such connecting line-haul carrier to establish an alternate interchange with a Railroad, shall in no event be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Transtar Parties.  Any dispute between USS and the Transtar Parties concerning maintenance of interchanges shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions hereof.  To the extent it is determined, pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions hereof, that the Transtar Parties have breached this Section 6, the Transtar Parties agree that they will take necessary action to restore or cause to be restored any interchange or competitive access point that is the subject of such breach.
7.FUTURE LAWS
7.1Transtar shall at all times comply with any new laws or regulations applicable to its railroad operations, or amendments thereto, or any change to existing laws or regulations applicable to its railroad operations, or subsequent amendments thereto, including, but not limited to, obligations that provide additional transportation options or competitive access to USS (collectively, “Future Laws”), in each case which become effective during the Term.
7.2If (a) Transtar’s compliance with Future Laws results in a material increase in the “Net Rail Operating Costs” of providing Services pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) such increase is not captured directly or indirectly in the [***] used to adjust the Base Fees, Base Local Rate & Material Handling Rates and/or Divisions of joint line rates pursuant to Section 3.5 and Section 3.8 (as applicable) or otherwise captured through imposition of a surcharge tariff or similar assessment that is paid by USS in addition to payment of Transtar’s Division in accordance with Section 3.8.3 (such increase an “Unindexed Regulatory Cost Increase”), and (c) USS elects to renew this Agreement beyond the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term (as applicable) pursuant to Section 2.1, then, six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or current Renewal Term (as applicable), the Parties shall in good faith negotiate increases to the applicable Base Fees, Base Local Rate & Material Handling Rates and/or Divisions of 
- 20 -    

joint line rates as may be necessary to compensate the Transtar Parties for such Unindexed Regulatory Cost Increase in a manner and to the extent commercially reasonable to the Parties.  Such negotiated increases shall be implemented as of the first day of the applicable Renewal Term.  For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Net Rail Operating Costs” means any increase in operating costs required to comply with Future Laws, minus any reduction in operating costs resulting from compliance with (or otherwise from changes in) Future Laws; provided that, in calculating Net Rail Operating Costs, general and administrative costs shall not be counted, and provided further that eligible costs incurred by Transtar in anticipation of enactment of a Future Law shall not be counted unless a Future Law requiring Transtar to incur such costs is enacted within one (1) year of the date upon which Transtar actually incurs such costs.  
7.3To the extent that any Unindexed Regulatory Cost Increase implemented pursuant to Section 7.2 arises from capital expenditures made by any Transtar Party in order to comply with Future Laws, such capital expenditures shall be deemed to amortize over the useful life of the applicable asset beginning in the year such capital expense is actually incurred (whether or not actually so amortized by the Transtar Parties), such that the rate increase in respect thereof shall terminate at the conclusion of such amortization period.  In no event shall a rate increase attributable to capital expenditures incurred by Transtar to comply with Future Laws exceed the amount of such capital expenditure as so amortized.
7.4In the event that all or a portion of an Unindexed Regulatory Cost Increase that results in an increase to the applicable Base Fees, Base Local Rate & Material Handling Rates and/or Divisions is subsequently captured directly or indirectly in a revision to the [***] or is otherwise captured through imposition of a surcharge tariff or similar assessment that is paid by USS in addition to payment of Transtar’s Division in accordance with Section 3.8.3, then the applicable Base Fees, Base Local Rate & Material Handling Rates and/or Divisions (as applicable) shall be reduced, as of the calendar quarter in which [***] all or a portion of such Unindexed Regulatory Cost Increase or in which such surcharge tariff or similar assessment comes into effect, by the amount of such increase that is attributable to the portion of such Unindexed Regulatory Cost Increase that is subsequently [***].
7.5In connection with the good faith negotiations and other provisions of this Section 7, the Transtar Parties shall provide USS with such books and records as USS may reasonably request.
8.AUDIT AND INSPECTION; ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE; INDEMNITY; INSURANCE.
8.1The Transtar Parties shall maintain, in accurate and complete order, all books and records (whether in printed, electronic or other format) associated with the Services performed and charges invoiced to and paid by USS pursuant to this 
- 21 -    

Agreement.  All books and records of the Transtar Parties relating to this Agreement shall be open to inspection and audit by representatives of USS (at USS’s cost and expense) during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable notice not more than once per year during the Term and for a period of 3 years thereafter.
8.2The Transtar Parties shall comply with the provisions of Exhibit 8.2 in respect of environmental matters.
8.3Certain procedures for seeking indemnification under this Agreement are set forth on Exhibit 8.3.
8.4The Transtar Parties shall maintain at all times insurance having the coverages and in the amounts specified in Exhibit 8.4.
9.SEVERABILITY.  It is the desire of the Parties hereto that this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies to be applied thereto.  Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be void, invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to modify such provision of the agreement to reflect as closely as possible the intent of the parties as evidenced by the language of this Agreement, or if such modification is not possible, to delete such provision herefrom, and this Agreement shall be interpreted only as broadly as is enforceable.
10.DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
10.1General Provisions.  The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to settle amicably any and all disputes, controversies or claims (whether sounding in contract, tort, common law, statutory law, equity or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence or scope, the meaning of its provisions, the rates and fees provided for herein, or the proper performance of any of its terms by any Party, or its breach, termination or invalidity (each such dispute, controversy or claim, a “Dispute”).  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10.  For purposes of this Section 10, the term “Party” shall refer to either USS, on the one hand, or the Transtar Parties collectively, on the other hand.
10.2Resolution by Senior Executives.  If a Dispute cannot be resolved at an operational level, a Party may give written notice to the other Party, requesting that senior management or senior representatives of each Party attempt to resolve the Dispute.  Within five (5) business days after such a request, the other Party shall provide a written response.  The notice and the response shall designate such Party’s senior executive and provide a statement of the Party’s position and a summary of reasons supporting that position.  The designated senior executives or representatives shall meet in person at a mutually acceptable place, or by telephone, within five (5) 
- 22 -    

business days after receiving the response to seek a resolution.  If no resolution is reached by the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice of Dispute, either Party may submit the Dispute to resolution as further provided herein.
10.3Arbitration.
10.3.1If the Parties are unable to reach a resolution pursuant to Section 10.2, the Parties may submit the Dispute for resolution by binding arbitration under the administration of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with its Rules for Arbitration in effect at the time of the arbitration, subject to such modifications set forth in this Agreement.
10.3.2In any Dispute, the arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators, selected as follows:  (a) each Party shall designate one arbitrator within twenty (20) calendar days after the request for arbitration is filed; (b) the first two arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator (who shall be a person who possesses significant experience with operating and commercial matters in the railroad industry) within thirty (30) calendar days after the last of the first two arbitrators has been nominated, which third arbitrator shall not be affiliated with either Party; and (c) in the event that the initial two arbitrators fail to agree to a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be chosen by the AAA (who shall be a person who possesses significant experience with operating and commercial matters in the railroad industry).  The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language.  The arbitration shall be conducted in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which shall be the seat of the arbitration.  Each Party shall be permitted to present its case, witnesses and evidence, if any, in the presence of the other Party.  Either Party can request a written transcript of the proceedings at that Party’s cost.  The arbitral tribunal shall determine the Dispute consistent with the substantive law described in Section 14, and shall apply this Agreement according to its terms.
10.3.3The Parties agree that any Dispute resolved pursuant to this Section 10 is commercial in nature.  The Parties agree to be bound by any award or order resulting from arbitration conducted hereunder, notwithstanding any country’s laws or treaties with the United States to the contrary.  The Parties agree that in the context of an attempt by either Party to enforce an arbitral award or order, any defenses relating to any other Parties’ capacity or the validity of this Agreement or any related agreement under any law are waived.  Any judgment on an award or order resulting from an arbitration conducted under this Section 10 may be entered and enforced in any court, in any country, having jurisdiction over either Party or their assets.
10.3.4Each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of its appointed arbitrator, financial and legal advisors and other outside consultants, in connection with any arbitration conducted under this Section 10.
- 23 -    

10.4Admissibility into Evidence.  All offers of compromise or settlement between the Parties or their Representatives in connection with the attempted resolution of any Dispute (a) shall be deemed to have been delivered in furtherance of a Dispute settlement, (b) shall be exempt from discovery and production and (c) shall not be admissible into evidence (whether as an admission or otherwise) in any proceeding for the resolution of the Dispute.
10.5Proceedings Confidential.  Except to the extent necessary to enforce any arbitral award, to enforce other rights of the Parties, or as required by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, each Party shall ensure that it and its affiliates, and all of their respective representatives and expert witnesses, shall maintain as confidential the existence of the arbitration proceedings, the arbitral award, all filings and submissions exchanged or produced during the arbitration proceedings and briefs, memoranda, witness statements or other documents prepared in connection with such arbitration; provided, however, that a Party may disclose such information to its affiliates and all of its and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers, employees, professional advisors and expert witnesses; provided further that the Transtar Parties may also disclose such information to FIG LLC and its affiliates and all of its and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, professional advisors and expert witnesses.  Each Party shall, prior to disclosing such information to any person permitted by this Section 10.5, inform such person of the confidential nature of the existence of any such arbitration proceedings, arbitral award, filings and submissions, briefs, memoranda, witness statements and other documents and will direct such person to treat the foregoing as confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Party will be responsible for the compliance by its affiliates and all of its and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers, employees, professional advisors and expert witnesses with this Section 10.5.  This Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of the arbitral proceedings.
10.6Privilege.  Legal professional privilege, including privileges protecting attorney-client communications and attorney work product of each Party from disclosure or use in evidence, as recognized by applicable laws governing each Party’s relationship with its counsel, including in-house counsel, shall apply to and be binding in any arbitration proceeding under this Section 10.
11.CONFIDENTIALITY.  Except to the extent that disclosure of information contained in this Agreement is required by law, governing regulatory authority, judicial, arbitral or administrative process, or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange, the contents of this Agreement shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed or released by any Party without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties; provided, however, that a Party may disclose such information without the consent of the other Party to its affiliates and all of its and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers, employees, and professional advisors; provided further that the Transtar Parties may also disclose such information without the consent of USS 
- 24 -    

to FIG LLC and its affiliates and all of its and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, and professional advisors.  In the event of a request for disclosure required by law, governing regulatory authority, or judicial, arbitral or administrative process, the disclosing Party shall give at least five (5) days’ written notice to the other Parties prior to making such disclosure, to give such other Parties an opportunity to object or take further legal action to protect the confidentiality of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to keep the contents of this Agreement confidential.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Transtar Parties agree that, in the event a Transtar Party or any of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents and professional advisors record any film, video or other recorded media on USS’s property in connection with this Agreement, the Transtar Parties agree that they shall not disclose any portion of such recorded media to third parties to the extent it depicts USS’s facilities, assets and operations, except (a) upon the prior consent of USS, (b) as required by law, governing regulatory authority, judicial, arbitral or administrative process, or rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange, provided that such party shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) provide USS with prompt notice of any such requirement to enable USS to seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment and shall disclose only that portion of such recorded media so required to be disclosed by law, governing regulatory authority, judicial, arbitral or administrative process, or rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or (c) to FIG LLC and its affiliates and all of its and the Transtar Parties’ respective directors, officers, managers, employees, consultants, auditors, insurers and professional advisors.
12.ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE IN CONTROL.
12.1For purposes of this Section 12, “Change in Control” means (a) with respect to any Transtar Party (which, for purposes of this Section 12, shall include all successors and assigns of the businesses, rights and assets of any Transtar Party):  in one or in a series of related transactions, (i) the sale or lease of all or a majority of all the assets of any Transtar Party, (ii) any direct or indirect change in the ownership of more than 50% of the capital stock or other voting securities of a Transtar Party (including by way of any direct or indirect merger, consolidation or acquisition of a Transtar Party or any affiliate of any Transtar Party with, by or into another corporation, entity or person), and (iii) except as otherwise permitted by this clause (iii), the sale or lease of all or a majority of the assets of any Transtar Party to, or any direct or indirect transfer of the capital stock or other voting securities of a Transtar Party (including by way of any direct or indirect merger, consolidation or acquisition of a Transtar Party or any affiliate of any Transtar Party with, by or into another corporation, entity or person) to any person or entity that is a Competitor or affiliate thereof, except, in the case of such direct or indirect transfers of capital stock, any open-market purchase or underwritten public offering of the publicly traded equity interests of FTAI or any applicable IPO Entity (other than such open-market purchases or underwritten public 
- 25 -    

offerings (x) that result in the applicable Competitor (or affiliate thereof) holding more than 20% of the capital stock or other voting securities of FTAI or the applicable IPO Entity, (y) that result in, or are otherwise made in connection with, the applicable Competitor (or affiliate thereof) obtaining a contractual right to appoint a member to the board of directors or board of managers of FTAI or the applicable IPO Entity or (z) following which the applicable Competitor (or affiliate thereof) nominates one or more individuals to the board of directors or board of managers of FTAI or the applicable IPO Entity and such individuals are subsequently elected to such board of directors or board of managers as a result of such nomination (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (x) through (z) are referred to herein as an “FTAI Competitor Change of Control”)); provided, however, that none of the following transactions shall be deemed to be a Change in Control with respect to any Transtar Party by reason of clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.1 (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to clause (iii)):  (1) a direct or indirect transfer of some or all of the equity interests of a Transtar Party to an affiliate of Transtar or to FIG LLC or any of its affiliates, (2) a direct or indirect transfer of some or all of the equity interests of Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (“FTAI”), (3) a direct or indirect transfer of some or all of the equity interests or assets of a Transtar Party if the acquiror of such equity interests or such assets is a short-line railroad holding company with greater than $[***] (or, in years subsequent to 2021, $[***] as adjusted by changes in the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (or any applicable successor inflation index promulgated by the United States federal government) with reference to the year ended December 31, 2021) of annual gross revenue derived from short-line railroad operations (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, revenue that would be derived from any Transtar Party following such acquisition), (4) a direct or indirect transfer of some or all of the equity interests of FIG LLC or a change of manager of FTAI, (5) any transaction whereby any entity owning, directly or indirectly, the equity interests of a Transtar Party, becomes an entity with equity interests that are publicly traded (an “IPO Entity”) (with no stockholder other than FTAI and its affiliates owning more than 50% of the voting securities of such entity) and, after such transaction, any direct or indirect transfer of some or all of the equity interests of such entity, or the change of manager of such entity or (6) grants of equity to employees, officers, directors and consultants of FTAI or a Transtar Party, in each case in the ordinary course of business of the applicable equity issuer; and (b) with respect to USS or any Plant:  in one or in a series of related transactions, (i) the sale of all or a majority of all the assets of USS, the subject Plant or the entity that owns the subject Plant or (ii) any direct or indirect change in the ownership of the capital stock or other voting securities of USS (that causes greater than 50% of the voting securities of USS to be held by a single entity or group of related entities) or the entity that owns such Plant (that causes greater than 50% of the voting securities of the entity that owns such Plant to be owned by an entity unaffiliated with USS) (including by way of any direct or indirect merger, consolidation or acquisition of USS or the entity that owns such Plant with, by or into another corporation, entity or person).  The Transtar Parties shall provide USS with no less than sixty (60) days’ written notice prior to any Change in Control of 
- 26 -    

any Transtar Party.  No Change in Control of Transtar, or of any Railroad, may be consummated without USS’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such Change in Control is to a Competitor).  Upon a Change in Control of USS or any Plant, USS shall require the party acquiring control of USS or such Plant (as applicable) to assume in writing all of USS’s obligations under this Agreement (including, only as applicable, USS’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the specific Plant).  Notwithstanding any Change in Control of USS or any individual Plant, USS shall remain liable to Transtar in respect of the full amount of the MAVR.
12.2In the event that USS does not provide prior written consent to the Change in Control of any one or more of the Railroads (where such consent is required by Section 12.1), and such Change in Control is consummated in violation of this Section 12, USS may elect to terminate USS’s obligations under this Agreement only with respect to such Railroad or Railroads without any further liability or obligation to USS.  In the event that USS does not provide such prior written consent to the Change in Control of Transtar (where such consent is required by Section 12.1), and such Change in Control is consummated in violation of this Section 12, USS may elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety without any further liability or obligation to USS (other than such liabilities and obligations that have arisen prior to the effective date of such Change in Control).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that USS does not provide prior written consent to an FTAI Competitor Change in Control (where such consent is required by Section 12.1), and such FTAI Competitor Change of Control is consummated in violation of this Section 12, USS’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement in its entirety without any further liability or obligation to USS (other than such liabilities and obligations that have arisen prior to the effective date of such FTAI Competitor Change of Control).
12.3No Party to this Agreement shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.3, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parties.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (a) USS, and its successors and assigns, may assign, without the prior written consent of any other Party, its interest in this Agreement in connection with the sale by USS, or its successors or assigns, of all or substantially all of the assets of any applicable USS Plant; provided, that USS shall remain liable to Transtar in respect of the MAVR; (b) Transtar may assign, without the prior written consent of any other Party, its interest in this Agreement to an affiliate and to FIG LLC and any of its affiliates; and (c) Transtar (or a Railroad) may assign, without the prior written consent of any other Party, its interest in this Agreement in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the stock, assets or business of Transtar or such Railroad (as applicable), if it has complied with the provisions of Section 12.1; provided, that, in connection with the sale of a Railroad or a Plant, USS or Transtar, as applicable, shall require the acquiring party 
- 27 -    

to enter into a rail services agreement on terms and conditions substantially similar to this Agreement with respect to the Services provided by such Railroad, and such Railroad or USS (as applicable) shall be released from this Agreement or the provisions of this Agreement related to such Plant, (as applicable) and shall no longer be deemed a Transtar Party or “USS”, as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement.  All references in this Agreement to the Parties hereto shall be considered to include their permitted successors and assigns, including permitted successors and assigns of permitted successors and assigns.
13.NOTICES.  Unless otherwise specified herein, any and all notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Party entitled to receive the same:  (a) by hand delivery; (b) by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; (c) by overnight delivery service which provides proof of delivery; or (d) by e-mail with customary evidence of transmission as follows:

14.LAW GOVERNING, VENUE AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of laws provision.  In order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce any arbitration award which may be entered pursuant to the terms hereof, each of the Parties (a) submits and consents to the personal jurisdiction of the State and Federal Courts of the State of Delaware with respect to any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as respects the exercise or prosecution of claims or causes of action for equitable relief (for which the Parties shall have the right to proceed in any court of appropriate jurisdiction), agrees to file any such suit, action or proceeding with such court(s), (b) waives any objection which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court(s), and waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court(s) has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) waives the right to object that any such court(s) does not have personal jurisdiction over such Party, and (d) consents to the service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding upon the receipt through the United States mail of copies of such process to such Party by certified mail to the address set forth in Section 13 or at such other address of which the other Parties shall have received written notice.
15.RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES.  The relationship between USS and the Transtar Parties under this Agreement shall be that of independent contractors.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a relationship of agency, joint venture, partnership or any other relationship not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Except as provided in Section 21, no event, development, change, occurrence or circumstance arising as between any Transtar Party and any third party shall be construed to excuse the performance of and compliance with the covenants and agreements contained herein by the Transtar Parties.  The Transtar Parties may, in their discretion, (a) amend, modify, or terminate the contracts and agreements in effect as of the Closing with any third party that directly or indirectly support the provision of the Services, and (b) replace such existing contracts and agreements (or enter into additional contracts and agreements) with different third parties; provided, that such amendment, modification, termination or substitution does not impair or interfere with the Transtar Parties’ ability to provide Services to USS in the manner and within the time schedule set forth in this Agreement (and the Exhibits hereto); and provided further that the Transtar Parties, in all events, (i) 
- 29 -    

shall cause to remain in full force and effect (including as necessary through extensions of the terms of) all of, and (ii) shall not (a) amend, modify or terminate, and shall not permit the amendment, modification or termination (including, in both events, the termination in accordance with the terms of) any of, or (b) waive, surrender or fail to enforce any material rights or claims under any of, the contracts and agreements in effect as of the Closing between any Transtar Party and the Candian National Railway and its affiliates, to the extent such agreements directly or indirectly support the provision of the Services or contain provisions directly or indirectly for the benefit of USS.
16.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
16.1USS represents to the Transtar Parties that, as of the date hereof: (a) it is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (b) neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by USS, nor the consummation by USS of the transactions contemplated hereby, will:  (i) conflict with, constitute an event of default under or result in a breach of or a violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of USS; (ii) result in a violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to USS; or (iii) violate any order or judgment applicable to USS; (c) the execution, performance and consummation of this Agreement by USS have been duly authorized by all necessary corporation action by USS; (d) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of USS, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited or otherwise affected by applicable law; and (e) no consents of any Federal, State or local governmental authority are required for the execution or performance of this Agreement by USS.  USS further represents to the Transtar Parties that the service standards, rates and schedules for the performance of Services set forth in the Exhibits to this Agreement fairly and accurately reflect the service standards, rates and schedules under which such services are performed by the Transtar Parties as of the date of Closing.
16.2The Transtar Parties represent to USS that, as of the date hereof, (a) each has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (b) the execution, performance and consummation of this Agreement by each Transtar Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such Transtar Party; and (c) this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each Transtar Party, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited or otherwise affected by applicable law.
17.INTENT OF THE PARTIES - FOR ARBITRATION PURPOSES.  The Parties hereto intend that USS shall be entitled to receive the Services hereof at service and rate levels in accordance with the standards set forth on the Exhibits hereto.  
- 30 -    

18.PAYMENT.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable tariffs and AAR rules regarding car repair, interchange and interline settlement, each applicable Railroad will invoice USS monthly for the services provided to USS by such Railroad as provided for herein, provided that rail transport and material handling services provided by the Gary Railway may be invoiced more frequently in accordance with historical practices.  Payment of such invoices will be due (a) fifteen (15) days after receipt for all invoices for Services rendered pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Agreement, and (b) sixty (60) days after receipt for all other Services.  Each Railroad shall be entitled to collect interest at a rate not to exceed 1.5% per month on any invoice that remains unpaid thirty (30) days after the due date for payment of such invoice.  
19.ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No amendment, change, modification, or alteration of this Agreement shall be effective unless reduced to writing and signed by the Parties.  Waiver of any breach of the Agreement by a Party shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach.  Neither Party shall by any act, delay, omission, custom, forbearance, or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party sought to be charged, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.
20.EQUITABLE RELIEF.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party may be irreparably harmed if any of the provisions of this Agreement are breached, that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy therefor, and that each Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, it being agreed that the other Party will not be permitted to raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law.  Each Party further agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with a Party seeking or obtaining such relief.  Such remedies are not to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity or pursuant to the express terms hereof.
21.FORCE MAJEURE.  Subject to the terms of this Section 21, no Party will be liable for delays or failures in performing its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure in performing is due to contingencies beyond its reasonable control, including as a result of the following force majeure events (each, a “Force Majeure Event”): riots, floods, extreme weather, accidents, Acts of God, acts of terrorism, war, civil disturbance, strike, pandemic or other major natural causes beyond the control of the Party invoking this Section 21 as an excuse for nonperformance.  Subject to the terms of this Section 21, if a Party is impacted by a Force Majeure Event, such Party will promptly notify the other Party (or Parties, as applicable) by telephone, and such Party’s obligations hereunder will be suspended for so long as the Parties are in agreement that a Force Majeure Event has occurred and that it continues, provided that the impacted Party (a) provides the other Parties prompt and full notice in writing of 
- 31 -    

occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, a detailed explanation of why the impacted Party believes the event in issue qualifies as a Force Majeure Event (including why the event renders the Party incapable of performing its obligations hereunder), and notice of its delay or failure to perform and (b) uses its commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as practicable, remedy the event claimed to constitute the Force Majeure Event and resume its compliance with this Agreement.  A Force Majeure Event will be deemed not to include changes in conditions in any national economy or the global economy or capital or financial markets generally, including changes in interest or exchange rates, and market-wide changes in any industry sector (including the rail or steel sectors).  Further, the provisions of this Section 21 will not extend to any corporate or operational decision taken by any Party.  The fact that this Agreement has become uneconomic for any Party or other financial distress shall not constitute a Force Majeure Event.  No obligation of USS to make a payment to any Transtar Party will be relieved by a Force Majeure Event; except that the MAVR will be tolled for the period during which any Force Majeure Event was in effect; provided, however, that USS shall be obligated to pay (as and to the extent otherwise required by this Agreement) the remaining amount of the MAVR for the applicable period upon cessation of the subject Force Majeure Event.  Upon cessation of any Force Majeure Event, the invoking Party shall promptly notify the other Party.
