NORTHWEST PIPE COMPANY

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 16, 2022 (“Effective Date”) by and between Northwest Pipe Company (the “Company”), and XXX (the “Employee”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

 

RECITALS

 

The Company has determined that it would like to provide certain financial incentives to the Employee, in order to encourage continued employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT

 

The Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.           Restricted Stock Unit Grant. The Employee is granted an award of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) on the following terms:

 

1.1          Grant. The Company hereby grants Employee an award of XXX Restricted Stock Units, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Company’s stockholder approved 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), including but not limited to the provisions of the Plan governing awards of Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. The grant of Restricted Stock Units obligates the Company, upon vesting in accordance with this Agreement, to deliver to the Employee one share of common stock of the Company (a “Share”) for each Restricted Stock Unit.

 

1.2           Company’s Obligation to Pay. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units have vested in the manner set forth in Sections 1.3 through 1.5, the Employee will have no right to be issued Shares (as defined below) as payment of such Restricted Stock Units. Prior to actual issuance of Shares as payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation. Payment of any vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made in only whole shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) only, rounding down to the nearest whole Share.

 

1.3           Vesting Schedule/Period of Restriction. Except as provided in subsections 1.4 and 1.5, and subject to Section 1.7, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule attached hereto as Appendix A. Restricted Stock Units shall not vest in the Employee unless the Employee shall have been continuously employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date until the date the Restricted Stock Units vest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

1.4           Change of Control. In the event a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in Appendix B) occurs at any time prior to the last vesting date, unless the Administrator of the Plan has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or this Agreement would otherwise continue in accordance with its terms in the circumstances, a pro-rata number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated based on time elapsed between the most recently achieved vesting date and the next succeeding vesting date as of the date of the Change of Control, and those Restricted Stock Units will be immediately vested.

1.5           Committee Discretion. The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee with respect to the number of Shares designated by the Committee.

 

1.6           Payment after Vesting. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest in accordance with Sections 3 through 5 will be paid to the Employee through issuance of Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to Section 1.10 and the provisions of Section 10.b(iii) of the Plan.

 

1.7           Clawback provision. If the Company’s financial statements are the subject of a restatement due to misconduct, to the extent permitted by governing law, in all appropriate cases, the Company will seek reimbursement of excess share compensation granted to Employee per this Agreement. “Excess share compensation” means the positive difference, if any, between (i) the award paid to Employee and (ii) the award that would have been paid to Employee had the award been calculated based on the Company’s financial statements as restated.

 

1.8           Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Restricted Stock Units that have not vested pursuant to Sections 1.3 through 1.5 at the time of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (for any reason, including but not limited to death or Disability and with or without cause) will be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company.

 

1.9           Death of Employee. Any distribution of Shares that vested during Employee’s lifetime which is to be made to the Employee under this Agreement after the Employee is deceased shall be made to the duly appointed administrator or personal representative of the Employee’s estate. Any such administrator or personal representative must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

 

1.10           Withholding of Taxes. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) may withhold a portion of the Shares that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay federal, state, local and foreign income, social insurance, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company or the employing Subsidiary with respect to the Shares, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, either requires or otherwise permits the Employee to make alternate arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such withholdings in advance of the arising of any withholding obligations. The number of Shares withheld pursuant to the prior sentence will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with no refund for any value of the Shares withheld in excess of the tax obligation as a result of such rounding. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no Shares will be issued unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by the Employee with respect to the payment of any income and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld or collected with respect to such Shares. In addition and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company (or the employing Subsidiary) has the right to retain without notice from salary or other amounts payable to the Employee, cash having a sufficient value to satisfy any tax withholding obligations that the Company determines cannot be satisfied through the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares. All income and other taxes related to the Restricted Stock Units award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Employee. By accepting this award, the Employee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and to any additional cash withholding as provided for in this Section 1.10.

1.11           Rights as Shareholder. Neither the Employee nor any person claiming under or through the Employee will have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Employee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Employee will have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

 

1.12           Grant is Not Transferable. This grant of Restricted Stock Units and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process, until the Employee has been issued Shares in payment of the Restricted Stock Units. Upon any attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

 

1.13           Restrictions on Sale of Securities. The Shares issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement will be registered under U.S. federal securities laws and will be freely tradable upon receipt. However, an Employee’s subsequent sale of the Shares may be subject to any market blackout-period that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company’s insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws.

 

1.14           Additional Conditions to Issuance of Certificates for Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date of vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience, but not to exceed the maximum time limit set forth in Section 10.b(iii) of the Plan.

1.15           Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement, the 2022 LTI Grant and the Plan collectively constitute the entire understanding of the Parties on the subjects covered. The Employee expressly warrants that Employee is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement can be made only in an express written contract executed by the Parties; provided, however that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Employee, to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant to this award of Restricted Stock Units.

 

1.16           Adjustments Upon Changes in Capital. The aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units covered by this Agreement will be proportionally adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from a stock split-up or consolidation of Shares or any like capital adjustments, or the payment of any stock dividend, as set forth in the Plan.

 

2.          No Contract of Employment. Subject to any employment contract with the Employee, the terms of such employment will be determined from time to time by the Company, or one of its Subsidiaries employing the Employee, as the case may be, and the Company, or the Subsidiary employing the Employee, as the case may be, will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. The transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth in Appendix A of this Agreement do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period of time. A leave of absence or an interruption in employment (including an interruption during military service) authorized or acknowledged by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries employing the Employee, as the case may be, shall not be deemed a termination of employment for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

3.          Miscellaneous.

 

3.1           Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company, in care of its Corporate Secretary, at 201 NE Park Plaza Drive, Suite 100, Vancouver WA 98684, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. Any notice to be given to the Employee under the terms of this Agreement or the Plan will be addressed to the Employee at his or her address of record with the Company.

 

3.2           Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.

 

Page 4 - RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

 

3.3           Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. A copy of the Plan has been delivered to the Employee, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Employee.

 

3.4           Committee Authority. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon the Employee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

 

3.5           Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

 

3.6           Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

3.7           Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Restricted Stock Units award, the Employee expressly warrants that he or she has received a contingent right to potentially receive Shares under the Plan, and has received, read and understood the Plan. The Employee understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time.

 

3.8           Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

 

3.9           Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. To facilitate efficient resolution of all disputes arising out of or related in any way to the interpretation or application of this Agreement or to the Employee’s employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, the Parties agree all such disputes shall be resolved exclusively, fully, and finally by binding arbitration. The Parties understand and agree that pursuant to this Agreement they are waiving the right to have disputes resolved in court by a judge or jury and instead to have such disputes resolved by a neutral arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings pursuant to this provision shall occur in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in effect at the time a demand for arbitration is made. Those rules are available on the Internet at http://www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-559-3222.

 

3.10           No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party.

 

3.11           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. Counterpart signature pages may be delivered via email.

Appendix B

Definition of Change in Control and Related Terms

 

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the date any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, ownership of the capital stock of the Company that constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, (ii) the date any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, (iii) the date any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, or (iv) the date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not occur unless such transaction constitutes a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets or a change in the effective control of the Company under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.Document

Not later than 10:00 A.M., Toronto time, on such date each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2, and subject to the Applicable Lending Office of each Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender of the applicable Class making Acceptance Equivalent Loans pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 2.10, (A) (A) on the basis of the information supplied by the Administrative Agent, as aforesaid, complete a Draft or Drafts of the relevant Canadian Borrower by filling in the Class, amount, date and maturity date thereof in accordance with the applicable Drawing Notice, (B) (B) duly accept such Draft or Drafts, (C) (C) offer to purchase such Acceptance or Acceptances at the applicable Discount Rate, (D) (D) give the Administrative Agent facsimile or telex notice of such Applicable Lending Office’s acceptance of such Draft or Drafts and confirming the Discount Rate at which it discounted the Acceptance or Acceptances and the amount paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Canadian Borrower and (E) (E) remit to the Administrative Agent in Canadian Dollars in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Discount Proceeds.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such sums from the Applicable Lending Offices of the applicable Canadian Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make the aggregate amount thereof available to such Canadian Borrower.
(iv)Each extension of credit hereunder through the acceptance of Drafts shall be made simultaneously and pro rata by the Applicable Lending Office of each of the Canadian Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective Canadian Revolving Commitments of such Class.
(d)Sale of Acceptances.  A Canadian Borrower shall agree to sell, and the Applicable Lending Offices of the Canadian Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall purchase or arrange for the purchase of, all of the Acceptances in the market and each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of such Canadian Borrower.  The Acceptance Fee in respect of such Acceptances may, at the option of the Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender of the applicable Class, be set off against the Discount 
58

Proceeds payable by such Applicable Lending Office of such Canadian Revolving Lender hereunder.
(e)Acceptance Obligation.  The relevant Canadian Borrower is obligated, and hereby unconditionally agrees, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Applicable Lending Office of each Canadian Revolving Lender of the applicable Class the face amount of each Acceptance created by such Applicable Lending Office in accordance with a Drawing Notice on the maturity date thereof, or on such earlier date as may be required pursuant to provisions of this Agreement.  With respect to each Acceptance which is outstanding hereunder, the relevant Canadian Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Toronto time, two Business Days prior to the maturity date of such Acceptance (which notice shall be irrevocable) of its intention to either (x) issue Acceptances on such maturity date to provide for the payment of such maturing Acceptance and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Drawing Notice with respect thereto or (y) repay the maturing Acceptances on the maturity date.  Any repayment of an Acceptance must be made at or before 2:00 P.M. (Toronto time) on the maturity date of such Acceptance.  If the relevant Canadian Borrower fails to provide such notice to the Administrative Agent or fails to repay the maturing Acceptances, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such maturity date, the relevant Canadian Borrower’s obligations in respect of the maturing Acceptances shall be deemed to have been converted on the maturity date thereof into a Canadian Base Rate Loan of the applicable Class in an amount equal to the face amount of the maturing Acceptances.  Each Canadian Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to the Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender in respect of any Acceptances of such Canadian Borrower accepted by such Applicable Lending Office under this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of those Acceptances being held, at the maturity thereof, by that Applicable Lending Office in its own right and each Canadian Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if that Applicable Lending Office, as holder, sues such Canadian Borrower on those Acceptances for payment of the amounts payable by such Canadian Borrower thereunder.
(f)Supply of Drafts and Power of Attorney.  To enable the Applicable Lending Offices of the Canadian Revolving Lenders to accept Drafts in the manner specified in this Section 2.10, each Canadian Borrower hereby appoints the Applicable Lending Office of each Canadian Revolving Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Applicable Lending Office, blank forms of its Acceptances.  In this respect, it is each Canadian Revolving Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Acceptances for acceptance under this Agreement.  Each Canadian Borrower recognizes and agrees that all Acceptances signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by the Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender shall bind such Canadian Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of such Canadian Borrower; provided, that such acts in each case are to be undertaken in accordance with such Canadian Revolving Lender’s obligations under this Agreement.  Each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to issue such Acceptances endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Applicable Lending Office; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of Acceptances required to be accepted by such Applicable Lending Office.  Drafts drawn by a Canadian Borrower to be accepted as Acceptances shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of such Canadian Borrower or by its attorney-in-fact including any attorney in fact appointed pursuant to this Section 2.10(f).  Each Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes and requests each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender in accordance with each Drawing Notice received from such Canadian Borrower to take the measures with respect to a Draft or Drafts of such Canadian Borrower then in possession of such Applicable Lending Office specified in paragraph (c)(iii) of 
59

this Section 2.10.  In case any authorized signatory of such Canadian Borrower whose signature shall appear on any Draft shall cease to have such authority before the acceptance of a Draft with respect to such Draft, the obligations of a Canadian Borrower hereunder and under such Acceptance shall nevertheless be valid for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force until such creation.  The Administrative Agent and each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be fully protected in relying upon any instructions received from a Canadian Borrower (orally or otherwise) without any duty to make inquiry as to the genuineness of such instructions.  The Administrative Agent and each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be entitled to rely on instructions received from any Person identifying himself (orally or otherwise) as a duly authorized officer of a Canadian Borrower and shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, delays or interruptions in the transmission of such instructions.
(g)Exculpation.  No Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender shall be responsible or liable for its failure to accept a Draft if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of a Canadian Borrower to provide the Drafts or the power of attorney described in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.10 to such Applicable Lending Office on a timely basis nor shall any Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such Draft except loss or improper use arising by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Applicable Lending Office.
(h)Rights of Canadian Revolving Lender as to Acceptances.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender shall have any responsibility as to the application of the proceeds by a Canadian Borrower of any discount of any Acceptances.  For greater certainty, each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender may, at any time, purchase Acceptances issued by a Canadian Borrower and may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Acceptances accepted and/or purchased by it.
(i)Acceptance Equivalent Loans.  Whenever a Canadian Borrower delivers a Drawing Notice to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement requesting the Canadian Revolving Lenders of any Class to accept Drafts, an Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender of such Class which cannot or does not as a matter of policy accept Drafts (a “Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender”) shall, in lieu of accepting Drafts, make an Acceptance Equivalent Loan.  On each date on which Drafts are to be accepted, subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the acceptance of Drafts, any Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender of the applicable Class that makes an Acceptance Equivalent Loan, upon delivery by a Canadian Borrower of an executed Discount Note payable to the order of such Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender, will remit to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of such Canadian Borrower the Acceptance equivalent discount proceeds in respect of the Discount Notes issued by such Canadian Borrower to the Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender.  Each Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender may agree, in lieu of receiving any Discount Notes, that such Discount Notes may be uncertificated and the applicable Acceptance Equivalent Loan shall be evidenced by a loan account which such Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender shall maintain in its name, and reference to such uncertificated Discount Notes elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to include reference to the relevant Acceptance Equivalent Loan or loan account, as applicable.
(j)Terms Applicable to Discount Notes.  The term “Acceptance” when used in this Agreement shall be construed to include Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Acceptances shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing Acceptance Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary (except that no Discount 
60

Note may be sold, rediscounted or otherwise disposed of by the Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender making Acceptance Equivalent Loans).  For greater certainty:
(A)a Discount Note shall mature and be due and payable on the same date as the maturity date for Acceptances specified in the applicable Drawing Notice;
(B)an Acceptance Fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of an Acceptance;
(C)a discount applicable to a Discount Note shall be calculated in the same manner and at the Discount Rate that would be applicable to Acceptances accepted by a Schedule II/ III Reference Lender pursuant to the applicable Drawing Notice;
(D)an Acceptance Equivalent Loan made by a Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender will be considered to be part of a Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender’s outstanding Acceptances for all purposes of this Agreement; and
(E)a Canadian Borrower shall deliver Discount Notes to each Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender and grants to each Non-Acceptance Canadian Lender a power of attorney in respect of the completion and execution of Discount Notes, each in accordance with Section 2.10(f).
(k)Prepayment of Acceptances and Discount Notes.  No Acceptance or Discount Note may be repaid or prepaid prior to the maturity date of such Acceptance or Discount Note, except in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(d) or Section 8.
(l)Depository Bills and Notes Act.  At the option of the Canadian Borrowers and any Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender, Acceptances and Discount Notes under this Agreement to be accepted by such Applicable Lending Office may be issued in the form of depository bills and depository notes, respectively, for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada).  All depository bills and depository notes so issued shall be governed by the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada) and the provisions of this Section 2.10.
(m)Acceptance Fee.  Each Canadian Borrower agrees to pay to each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender a fee (the “Acceptance Fee”) in advance and in Canadian Dollars, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans which are Eurocurrency Loans, on the date of acceptance of each Acceptance.  All Acceptance Fees shall be calculated on the face amount of the Acceptance issued and computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the term thereof and a year of 365 days.  The Acceptance Fee shall be in addition to any other fees payable to each Applicable Lending Office of a Canadian Revolving Lender in connection with the issuance or discounting of such Acceptance.  The discount rate for Acceptance Fees shall be calculated under terms customary to the practice of the Applicable Lending Offices of Canadian Revolving Lenders and shall be based upon a year of 365 days and the term of such Acceptance. 
2.11Swingline Commitment.    (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swingline Lender of any Class agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Company and any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower under the Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class from time to time during the applicable Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) in 
61

Dollars to the Company and any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower; provided that (i) after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of any Class made by such Swingline Lender that are then outstanding shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment of such Class of such Swingline Lender then in effect (notwithstanding that the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans of the applicable Class of such Swingline Lender outstanding at any time, when aggregated with such Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Class, may exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment of such Class then in effect), (ii) after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of any Class made by such Swingline Lender that are then outstanding, when aggregated with its Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit (other than Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit under clause (c) of the definition thereof in respect of Swingline Loans of such Class of such Swingline Lender) of such Class that are then outstanding, shall not exceed the Domestic Revolving Commitment of such Class of such Swingline Lender then in effect, (iii) the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall not request any Swingline Loan of any Class if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan and the use of proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of the Available Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class would be less than zero and (iv) after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, (A) [Reserved], (B) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments at such time, (C) (1) the Total 20245 Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total 20245 Revolving Commitments then in effect and (2) the Total 20267 Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total 20267 Revolving Commitments then in effect and (D) the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit. During the Revolving Commitment Period in respect of any Class, the Company and any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment in respect of such Class by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b)The Swingline Loans may from time to time be (i) (i) ABR Loans, (ii) (ii) Money Market Rate Loans or (iii) (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Company and notified to and, in the case of any Money Market Rate Loan, consented to by the relevant Swingline Lender in accordance herewith.
(c)The Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall repay to the relevant Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan advanced by such Swingline Lender on the earliest of (i) (i) the date that is ten Business Days after the date of such advance, (ii) (ii) the applicable Revolving Termination Date then in effect and (iii) (iii) the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.
2.12Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.    (a) Whenever the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower desires that a Swingline Lender of any Class make Swingline Loans of such Class it shall give such Swingline Lender telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by such Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) (i) the amount, Class and Type of Swingline Loan to be borrowed, (ii) (ii) with respect to any Money Market Rate Loan, the length of the Interest Period therefor and (iii) (iii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the applicable Revolving Commitment Period).  Prior to any such notice, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower may request a quote from the relevant Swingline Lender as to the Money Market Rate that would apply 
62

to such Swingline Loan if it were to be a Money Market Rate Loan for the Interest Period specified by the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower, and such Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower whether it is willing to make a Money Market Rate Loan and, if applicable, provide such a quote for such Interest Period.  If the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower accepts such rate, such Swingline Loan shall be a Money Market Rate Loan for such Interest Period bearing interest at such rate.  The relevant Swingline Lender shall promptly confirm such quote with respect to the Money Market Rate Loan to be made in writing.  Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment of any Class shall be in an amount equal to $25,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by such Swingline Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower with the Administrative Agent or such other account as the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower may specify to the Administrative Agent in writing on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.  Such Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.2 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied.  The Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Swingline Lender upon becoming aware that such conditions in Section 5.2 are thereafter satisfied. Such Swingline Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swingline Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any Swingline Lender may at any time and from time to time enter into agreements which provide for procedures for soliciting, extending and funding Swingline Loans to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower which differ from those specified herein.
(b)Each Swingline Lender of any Class, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably directs each Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by such Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Domestic Revolving Lender of such Class to make, and each Domestic Revolving Lender of such Class hereby agrees to make, a Domestic Revolving Loan of such Class, in an amount equal to such Domestic Revolving Lender’s 20245 Domestic Revolving Percentage or 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage, as the case may be, of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans of the applicable Class advanced by such Swingline Lender (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay such Swingline Lender.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall make the amount of such Domestic Revolving Loan of the applicable Class available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice.  The proceeds of such Domestic Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Swingline Lender for application by such Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.
(c)If prior to the time a Domestic Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.12(b), one of the events described in  Section 8(f) shall have occurred and 
63

be continuing with respect to the Company or if for any other reason, as determined by a Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Domestic Revolving Loans of the applicable Class may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.12(b), each   Domestic Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall, on the date such Domestic Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.12(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans of the applicable Class by paying to the relevant Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) (i) such Domestic Revolving Lender’s 20245 Domestic Revolving Percentage or 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage, as the case may be, times (ii) (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of the applicable Class advanced by such Swingline Lender(s) then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Domestic Revolving Loans, and any Swingline Loans that are Money Market Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on such date.
(d)Whenever, at any time after a Swingline Lender has received from any Domestic Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the applicable Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans advanced by such Swingline Lender(s) then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by a Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Domestic Revolving Lender will return to such Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by such Swingline Lender.
(e)Each Domestic Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.12(b)  and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Domestic Revolving Lender or the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, (iv) (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
2.13New or Successor Swingline Lender; Swingline Commitments.  The Company may  terminate the Swingline Commitment of any Swingline Lender for any reason upon not less than three Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Swingline Lender,  add additional Swingline Lenders (with the consent of such Lenders) and  increase (with the consent of such Lender) or decrease the Swingline Commitment of any existing Swingline Lender at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13.  If the Company shall decide to add a new Swingline Lender under this Agreement, then the Company may appoint from among the Domestic Revolving Lenders a new Swingline Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such Lender shall become a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the rights, powers and duties of a Swingline Lender hereunder.  Upon the termination of the Swingline Commitments of a Swingline Lender, the Company shall pay to the terminated Swingline Lender all principal 
64

and accrued interest on outstanding Swingline Loans owing to such terminated Swingline Lender.  The acceptance of any appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or the increase of the Swingline Commitment of any existing Swingline Lender, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such Swingline Lender in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor lender of Swingline Loans shall become a “Swingline Lender” hereunder or such increased Swingline Commitment shall become effective.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of any addition of a Swingline Lender, or any increased Swingline Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.13.
2.14Competitive Bid Procedure.    (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in respect of any Class of Domestic Revolving Commitments the Company may request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any obligation to) accept Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans of the applicable Class in Dollars; provided that, after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) (i) [Reserved], (ii) (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect and (iii) (A) (iii) (A) the Total 20245 Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total 20245 Revolving Commitments then in effect and (B) the Total 20267 Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total 20267 Revolving Commitments at such time.  To request Competitive Bids, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) by delivery of a Competitive Bid Request not later than 12:00 Noon New York City time (A) four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of any RFR Competitive Loans, or (B) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Fixed Rate Loans.  Each such Competitive Bid Request shall specify (1) (1) the amount (which shall be a minimum of $50,000,000) and Type and Class of the requested Competitive Loans and (2) (2) the requested Borrowing Date; provided that the Company may request offers to make Competitive Loans for multiple Types and Classes of Competitive Loans in a single Competitive Bid Request.
(b)Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid Request conforming to the requirements of this Section (but, in any event, no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date of receipt thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class of the details thereof, inviting the Revolving Lenders of such Class to submit Competitive Bids.
(c)Each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class (or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender) may (but shall not have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids to the Company in response to a Competitive Bid Request.

65

or Loans that the Lender is willing to make and (ii) (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four decimal places).

(e)Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, the Company may accept or reject any Competitive Bid.

(g)If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the Company at least one half of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section.

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Facility or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Facility; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective 
67

date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, the Total 20245 Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total 20245 Revolving Commitments, the Total 20267 Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total 20267 Revolving Commitments, or the Revolving Extensions of Credit under any Revolving Facility would exceed the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility.

Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice to terminate any Revolving Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change of Control, in which case, such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a termination notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.27 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof.
(b)The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to require Revolving Lenders under either Canadian Revolving Facility and/or either Multicurrency Revolving Facility to reallocate their Revolving Commitments thereunder to the Domestic Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class; provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reallocation, the aggregate Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Canadian Revolving Commitments of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments of such Class and the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of such Class and (y) no Revolving Lender under a Canadian Revolving Facility shall be required to reallocate any of its Revolving Commitments thereunder to the Domestic Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class unless either (A) prior to such reallocation, such Revolving Lender was a Domestic Revolving Lender or (B) such Revolving Lender has consented to such reallocation in writing (a Lender excluded from such reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.16(b)2.16(b)(y), an “Excluded Canadian Revolving Lender”).  Any such reallocation shall be in an amount equal to $25,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Any such reallocation shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of Lenders under the applicable Canadian Revolving Facility (other than any Excluded Canadian Revolving Lender) or the applicable Multicurrency Revolving Facility, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with their existing Revolving Commitment under such Facility at such time and increase each such Revolving Lender’s Domestic Revolving Commitment of the corresponding Class by such amount; provided that if such reallocation would result in amounts being payable by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower to any Lender under Section 2.25 2.25 or Section 2.262.26, such Lender shall change its Applicable Lending Office to avoid such result. On the date of any such reallocation, (i) each relevant Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Domestic Revolving Commitments and reduced Canadian Revolving Commitments and/or Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class and the application of such amounts to prepay Domestic Revolving Loans and/or Canadian Revolving Loans and/or Multicurrency Revolving Loans of such Class of other 
68

relevant Domestic Revolving Lenders and/or Canadian Revolving Lenders and/or Multicurrency Revolving Lenders of such Class, the Domestic Revolving Loans and/or Canadian Revolving Loans and/or Multicurrency Revolving Loans of such Class to be held ratably by all Domestic Revolving Lenders and/or Canadian Revolving Lenders and/or Multicurrency Revolving Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Domestic Revolving Commitments and/or Canadian Revolving Commitments and/or Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such increase, (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans and/or Canadian Revolving Loans and/or Multicurrency Revolving Loans of such Class and (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Domestic Revolving Lenders and/or Canadian Revolving Lenders and/or Multicurrency Revolving Lenders of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.27 2.27 as a result of such prepayment.
(c)The Company may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, any other relevant Applicable Agent and the relevant Revolving Lenders, request that one or more of the Revolving Lenders under either Domestic Revolving Facility reallocate a portion of their respective Domestic Revolving Commitments under such Domestic Revolving Facility to the Canadian Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class, the Brazilian Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class, the Unconverted RMB Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class or the Multicurrency Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class, as the case may be; provided that, after giving effect to any such reallocation and any prepayment of the Domestic Revolving Loans of the applicable Class (which may include a non pro rata prepayment of the Domestic Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class agreeing to such reallocation), the Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Domestic Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class shall not exceed the Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class.  Each notice from the Company pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall set forth the requested amount and Class of such reallocation and date of such reallocation (which shall be at least three Business Days after the date of such request) and shall also set forth the agreement of the relevant Domestic Revolving Lenders to such reallocation.  Domestic Revolving Lenders of any Class agreeing to reallocate a portion of their Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class to such other Revolving Facility of such Class shall have such portion of their Domestic Revolving Commitment of such Class reallocated as provided in such notice.  On the date of any such reallocation, (i) (i) each relevant Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine is necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such reallocation and the application of such amounts to prepay Revolving Loans under the relevant Revolving Facility or Facilities, the Revolving Loans under each Revolving Facility to be held ratably by all Revolving Lenders under such Facility in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility after giving effect to such reallocation, (ii) (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans under the relevant Facility or Facilities and (iii) (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Revolving Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.27 as a result of such prepayment(s).  Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (c) to the contrary, no Domestic Revolving Lender shall be obligated to transfer any portion of its Domestic Revolving Commitments to a Canadian Revolving Facility, a Brazilian Revolving Facility, an Unconverted RMB Revolving Facility or a Multicurrency Revolving Facility unless such Revolving Lender agrees.  The initial amount in Brazilian Reais of any Brazilian Revolving Commitments of any Class resulting from any such reallocation of Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class shall be equal to the amount in Dollars of the Domestic Revolving Commitments so reallocated multiplied by the Brazilian Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to the date of such reallocation and shall thereafter be adjusted pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of 
69

“20245 Brazilian Revolving Commitment” or “20267 Brazilian Revolving Commitment”, as applicable.  
(d)The Company may at any time or from time to time after the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, the RMB Administrative Agent and the relevant Revolving Lenders, request that all of the Revolving Lenders under any RMB Revolving Facility reallocate a portion of their respective RMB Revolving Commitments under such RMB Revolving Facility to the Domestic Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class; provided that, after giving effect to any such reallocation and any prepayment of the RMB Revolving Loans under such RMB Revolving Facility of the applicable Class (which may include a non pro rata prepayment of the RMB Revolving Lenders under such RMB Revolving Facility of the applicable Class agreeing to such reallocation), the RMB Revolving Extensions of Credit under the RMB Revolving Commitments under such RMB Revolving Facility of the applicable Class shall not exceed the RMB Revolving Commitments under such RMB Revolving Facility of such Class.  Each notice from the Company pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall set forth the requested aggregate amount (the “RMB Commitment Reallocation Request Amount”), the RMB Revolving Facility and Class of such reallocation and the proposed date of such reallocation (which shall be at least ten Business Days after the date of such request) and the date by which RMB Revolving Lenders must provide the RMB Commitment Reallocation Response (the “RMB Commitment Reallocation Response Deadline”).  RMB Revolving Lenders under any RMB Revolving Facility of any Class agreeing to reallocate a portion of their RMB Revolving Commitments under such RMB Revolving Facility of such Class to the Domestic Revolving Facility of such Class shall, prior to the RMB Commitment Reallocation Response Deadline, deliver a written response (“RMB Commitment Reallocation Response”) to the Company, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the RMB Administrative Agent, which shall contain (x) each RMB Revolving Lender’s agreement to such reallocation and (y) the amount of such RMB Revolving Lender’s RMB Revolving Commitment under such RMB Revolving Facility of such Class that such RMB Revolving Lender is agreeing to reallocate.  Any RMB Revolving Lender that does not deliver an RMB Commitment Reallocation Response to the Company prior to the RMB Commitment Reallocation Response Deadline shall be deemed not to agree to any such reallocation. If the aggregate amount of RMB Revolving Commitments under such RMB Revolving Facility of such Class offered to be reallocated pursuant to all RMB Commitment Reallocation Responses exceeds the RMB Commitment Reallocation Request Amount, each applicable RMB Revolving Lender shall have a pro rata portion (based on the respective amounts included in all RMB Commitment Reallocation Responses) of the amount set forth in its RMB Commitment Reallocation Response reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.16(d).  On the date of any such reallocation, (i) (i) each relevant Revolving Lender shall make available to the Applicable Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Applicable Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such reallocation and the application of such amounts to prepay Revolving Loans of the applicable Class under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or RMB Revolving Facility of such Class, the Revolving Loans under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or RMB Revolving Facility of such Class to be held ratably by all Revolving Lenders under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or RMB Revolving Facility of such Class in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or RMB Revolving Facility of such Class after giving effect to such reallocation, (ii) (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or RMB Revolving Facility of such Class and (iii) (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Revolving Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.27 as a result of such prepayment(s).  Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (d) to the contrary, no RMB Revolving Lender of any Class shall be obligated to transfer any portion of its RMB Revolving Commitments of such 
70

Class to the Domestic Revolving Facility of such Class unless such RMB Revolving Lender agrees.  The amount, in Dollars, of any Domestic Revolving Commitments of any Class resulting from any such reallocation of Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of such Class shall be calculated on the basis of the RMB Exchange Rate in effect on the Business Day prior to the date that such reallocation is effective.
(e)The Company may at any time or from time to time after the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, the Brazilian Administrative Agent and the relevant Revolving Lenders, request that all of the Revolving Lenders under a Brazilian Revolving Facility of any Class reallocate a portion of their respective Revolving Commitments under such Brazilian Revolving Facility to the Domestic Revolving Facility of the corresponding Class; provided that, after giving effect to any such reallocation and any prepayment of the Brazilian Revolving Loans of the applicable Class (which may include a non pro rata prepayment of the Brazilian Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class agreeing to such reallocation), the Brazilian Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Brazilian Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class shall not exceed the Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class.  Each notice from the Company pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall set forth the requested aggregate amount (the “Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Request Amount”) and Class of such reallocation and the proposed date of such reallocation (which shall be at least three Business Days after the date of such request) and the date by which the Brazilian Revolving Lenders must provide the Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response (the “Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response Deadline”).  Brazilian Revolving Lenders of any Class agreeing to reallocate a portion of their Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class to the Domestic Revolving Facility of such Class shall, prior to the Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response Deadline, deliver a written response (the “Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response”) to the Company, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Brazilian Administrative Agent, which shall contain (x) each Brazilian Revolving Lender’s agreement to such reallocation and (y) the amount of such Brazilian Revolving Lender’s Brazilian Revolving Commitment of such Class that such Brazilian Revolving Lender is agreeing to reallocate.  Any Brazilian Revolving Lender who does not deliver a Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response to the Company on or prior to the Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response Deadline shall be deemed not to agree to any such reallocation.  If the aggregate amount of Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class offered to be reallocated pursuant to all Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Responses exceeds the Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Request Amount, each applicable Brazilian Revolving Lender shall have a pro rata portion (based on the respective amounts included in all Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Responses) of the amount set forth in its Brazilian Commitment Reallocation Response reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.16(e).  On the date of any such reallocation, (i) (i) each relevant Revolving Lender shall make available to the Applicable Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Applicable Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such reallocation and the application of such amounts to prepay Revolving Loans under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or Brazilian Revolving Facility of the applicable Class, the Revolving Loans under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or Brazilian Revolving Facility of such Class to be held ratably by all Revolving Lenders under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or Brazilian Revolving Facility of such Class in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or Brazilian Revolving Facility of such Class after giving effect to such reallocation, (ii) (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans under the Domestic Revolving Facility and/or Brazilian Revolving Facility of such Class and (iii) (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Revolving Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.27 as a result of such prepayment(s).  Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (e) to

The amount, in Dollars, of any Domestic Revolving Commitments of any Class resulting from any such reallocation of Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class shall be calculated on the basis of the Applicable Brazilian Reais Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such reallocation is effective.
2.17Optional Prepayments.  The Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans (other than Brazilian Revolving Loans), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or RFR Loans (or the RMB Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., Hong Kong time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of CNHHIBOR Loans), and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the day of such prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the applicable Facility and the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or RFR Loans (or CNHHIBOR Loans), ABR Loans, or Canadian Base Rate Loans; provided, that  if a Eurocurrency Loan (or a CNHHIBOR Loan) is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.27 and  no Competitive Loan may be prepaid without the consent of the Lender thereof except for any prepayment in connection with a Change of Control or in order to cure an Event of Default; provided, further, that such notice to prepay the Loans delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change of Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by further notice to the Administrative Agent  (or in the case of a CNHHIBOR Loan, the RMB Administrative Agent) on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a prepayment notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.27 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a CNHHIBOR Loan, the RMB Administrative Agent) shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

If, as of any Brazilian Revolving 
72

Commitment Recalculation Date, the aggregate outstanding Brazilian Revolving Extensions of Credit under either Brazilian Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate Brazilian Revolving Commitments under such Brazilian Revolving Facility as of such Brazilian Revolving Commitment Recalculation Date by 5% or more, then the Brazilian Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Brazilian Subsidiary Borrowers and, within five Business Days of such notice, the Brazilian Subsidiary Borrowers shall prepay Brazilian Revolving Loans under such Brazilian Revolving Facility in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess; provided that the failure of the Brazilian Administrative Agent to determine the aggregate outstanding Brazilian Revolving Extensions of Credit under each Brazilian Revolving Facility as provided in this Section 2.18(a) shall not subject the Brazilian Administrative Agent to any liability hereunder.
(b)On each Fee Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit under each Multicurrency Revolving Facility as of the last day of the related Fee Payment Period.  If, as of the last day of any Fee Payment Period, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit under either Multicurrency Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments under such Multicurrency Revolving Facility then in effect by 5% or more, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and, within five Business Days of such notice, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay Multicurrency Revolving Loans under such Multicurrency Revolving Facility in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit under each Multicurrency Revolving Facility as provided in this Section 2.18(a)2.18(b) shall not subject the Administrative Agent to any liability hereunder.

If, as of the last day of any Fee Payment Period, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit under either Domestic Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments under such Domestic Revolving Facility then in effect by 5% or more, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and, within five Business Days of such notice, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans under such Domestic Revolving Facility in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to, or Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount such that the Domestic Revolving Credit Exposures under the applicable Domestic Revolving Facility attributable to Letters of Credit is Collateralized in an amount equal to, such excess; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit under each Domestic Revolving Facility as provided in this Section 2.18(c) shall not subject the Administrative Agent to any liability hereunder. 
(d)On each Fee Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit under each Canadian Revolving Facility as of the last day of the related Fee Payment Period.  If, as of the last day of any Fee Payment Period, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit under either Canadian Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments under such Canadian Revolving Facility then in effect by 5% or more, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and, within five Business Days 
73

of such notice, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay Canadian Revolving Loans under such Canadian Revolving Facility in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such excess; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit under each Canadian Revolving Facility as provided in this Section 2.18(d) shall not subject the Administrative Agent to any liability hereunder.

For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 day year in respect of Loans denominated in Dollars and a 365 day year in respect of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent to the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable, or such other period of time, respectively.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate or an RFR.  The RMB Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the relevant Converted RMB Revolving Lenders of each determination of CNHHIBOR.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR, Canadian Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b)Each determination of an interest rate by the Applicable Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Applicable Agent shall, at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, deliver to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Applicable Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.22(a).
2.23Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Illegality.    (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period (or, in the case of any Brazilian Revolving Loan or RFR Loan, on any Business Day):
(i)the Applicable Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower) that (A) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate (or, in the case of the Converted RMB Revolving Facility or Brazilian Revolving Facility, CNHHIBOR or CDI, respectively) (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple RFR or RFR for the relevant Currency, or
(ii)the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that (A) the Eurocurrency Rate (or, in the case of the Converted RMB Revolving Facility or Brazilian Revolving Facility, CNHHIBOR or CDI, respectively) determined or to be determined for such Interest 
76

Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period or (B) the applicable Daily Simple RFR or RFR, as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their affected Loans as a result of adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date, or
(iii)the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower) that deposits in the applicable Currency or RMB are not generally available in the applicable market (any Optional Currency or RMB affected by the circumstances described in clause (i)(i), (ii)(ii) or (iii)(iii) above, or Brazilian Reais affected by the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above, is referred to as an “Affected Foreign Currency”);
the Applicable Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice (followed promptly by written notice) thereof to the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (A) (A) pursuant to clause (i)(i) or (ii)(ii) of this Section 2.23(a) in respect of RFR Loans denominated in Dollars, then (1) (1) any RFR Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested to be made shall be made as ABR Loans, (2) (2) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted to RFR Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be continued as ABR Loans and (3) (3) any outstanding RFR Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be converted to ABR Loans, (B) (B) pursuant to clause (i)(i) or (ii)(ii) of this Section 2.23(a) in respect of any Multicurrency Revolving Loans denominated in Euros, then such Multicurrency Revolving Loans denominated in Euros shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate plus the Applicable Margin, (C) (C) pursuant to clause (i)(i) or (ii)(ii) of this Section 2.23(a) in respect of any Multicurrency Revolving Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, then such Multicurrency Revolving Loans in Pounds Sterling shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate plus the Applicable Margin, (D) (D) in respect of CNHHIBOR Loans, (1) pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.23(a)2.23(a), then CNHHIBOR applicable to such CNHHIBOR Loans shall be deemed to be the rate, determined by the RMB Administrative Agent, equal to the arithmetic mean of the rates (rounded upwards to four decimal places) as supplied to the RMB Administrative Agent at its request by three banks selected by the RMB Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in relation to CNHHIBOR, as the rate at which such banks could borrow funds in the Hong Kong interbank market in RMB and for the relevant period, were it to do so by asking for and then accepting interbank offers for deposits in reasonable market size in RMB and for that period and (2) pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 2.23(a)2.23(a), then (x) any CNHHIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as RFR Loans denominated in Dollars  and (y) any outstanding CNHHIBOR Loans shall be converted into RFR Loans denominated in Dollars (with the amount of any such Loans in RMB being calculated on the basis of the Applicable RMB Conversion Rate then in effect) and (E) (E) pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.23(a) 2.23(a) in respect of CDI Loans, then (1) CDI applicable to such CDI Loans shall be the substitute rate as determined by law to replace CDI, (2) if such substitute rate is not announced or if such substitute rate shall cease to be made available, the rate applicable to such CDI Loans shall be the adjusted average rate of the daily financings ascertained in the Special Settlement and Custody System for federal bonds (the “SELIC Rate”), published by ANBIMA – Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Markets Entities, (3) if the SELIC Rate is not available, the rate applicable to such CDI Loans shall be the rate determined by mutual agreement among the Brazilian Subsidiary Borrowers and the Brazilian Revolving Lenders, and (4) if no mutual agreement is reached among the Brazilian Subsidiary Borrowers 
77

and the Brazilian Revolving Lenders, the rate applicable to such CDI Loans shall be the rate of the last CDI published.  Until such relevant notice has been withdrawn by the Applicable Agent, (i) no further RFR Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans under the relevant Facility to RFR Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) in the case of clauses (B) and (C) above, the rates applicable to any Multicurrency Revolving Loans denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling shall be determined as set forth in such clause; provided, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Currency and provides telecopy or telephonic notice (followed promptly by written notice) thereof to the Company (such notice, the “CBR Cessation Notice”), at the Company’s election, shall either (A) absent a notice from the Company that it intends to prepay such Loans based on clause (B) below, be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Currency) or (B) at the Company’s option be prepaid in full within three Business Days from the Company’s receipt of such CBR Cessation Notice, (iii) in the case of clause (D)(1) above, CNHHIBOR shall be determined as set forth in such clause, (iv) in the case of clause (D)(2) above, Loans under any Converted RMB Revolving Facility shall be made as RFR Loans denominated in Dollars and (v) in the case of clause (E) above, CDI shall be determined as set forth in such clause.
(b)If prior to a borrowing by way of the issuance of Acceptances, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the relevant Canadian Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant money market, there is no market for Acceptances, then: 
(i)the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice (followed promptly by written notice) thereof to the Company and each Canadian Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter, 
(ii)the right of a Canadian Borrower to request an issuance of Acceptances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Canadian Borrowers and the affected Lenders, and
(iii)any Acceptances requested to be issued at such time shall not be issued and any notice relating to such Acceptances shall be deemed to be a notice requesting a borrowing by way of Canadian Base Rate Loans (as if such notice were given pursuant to Section 2.9).  Until such relevant notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Acceptances will be issued, nor shall the Company or any Canadian Borrower have the right to convert Canadian Base Rate Loans to Acceptances.
(c)If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, RFR Loans or CNHHIBOR Loans or to accept and purchase Acceptances as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Applicable Agent, the Company and any affected Subsidiary Borrower describing the relevant provisions of such Requirement of Law (and, if the Company shall so request, provide the Company with a memorandum or opinion of counsel of recognized standing (as selected by such Lender) as to such illegality), following which, (i) (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or RFR Loans, (A) (A) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans or RFR Loans and continue such Eurocurrency Loans or RFR Loans as such shall forthwith be cancelled, (B) (B) 
78

such Lender’s outstanding RFR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans, (C) (C) such Lender’s outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Optional Currency shall be paid in full on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (or within such earlier period as shall be required by law) and (D) such Lender’s outstanding RFR Loans denominated in any Optional Currency, at the Company’s election, shall either (x) absent a notice from the Company that it intends to prepay such Loans based on clause (y) below, be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Currency) or (y) at the Company’s option be prepaid in full within three Business Days from the Company’s receipt of such notice from such Lender, (ii) (ii) in respect of Acceptances, (A) (A) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to issue or accept Acceptances shall forthwith be cancelled and (B) (B) the full face amount of such Lender’s outstanding Acceptances shall be repaid in full on the then current maturity dates with respect to such Acceptances (or within such earlier period as shall be required by law) or, if not so repaid, then the full face amount thereof shall be converted to Canadian Base Rate Loans and (iii) (iii) in the case of CNHHIBOR Loans, (A) (A) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make CNHHIBOR Loans shall forthwith be converted to a Domestic Revolving Commitment of the applicable Class (with the Dollar amount of such Domestic Revolving Commitment to be calculated on the basis of the Applicable RMB Conversion Rate then in effect) (and such Lender shall be permitted to assign such commitments to any of its affiliates in connection with such conversion; provided that (x) any such assignment to an affiliate that would result in amounts being payable to such affiliate under Section 2.25 or Section 2.26 under applicable laws, rules and regulations in effect at the time of such assignment may only be made with the consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in its own discretion) and (y) no such assignment shall be permitted if Section 2.23(c) would apply at the time of such assignment) and the antepenultimate sentence of Section 2.16(d) 2.16(d) shall apply as if such conversion were a reallocation of Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class to Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class and (B) (B) such Lender’s outstanding CNHHIBOR Loans shall be paid in full on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (or within such earlier period as shall be required by law).
If any such conversion or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan or CNHHIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower whose Loan is converted or prepaid shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.27.
(d)If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest with respect to any of the Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit or other amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Canadian Revolving Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any Requirement of Law or would result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Canadian Revolving Lender of interest with respect to the Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under any applicable law, including the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by any applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Canadian Revolving Lender of interest with respect to the Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:
(i)first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the affected Canadian Revolving Lender under Section 2.212.21; and 
79

(ii)thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the affected Canadian Revolving Lender which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit for purposes of any applicable law, including Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the Administrative Agent or any Canadian Revolving Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, including section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) and the Interest Act (Canada), then the applicable Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent or the affected Canadian Revolving Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Administrative Agent or such Canadian Revolving Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the Administrative Agent or such Canadian Revolving Lender to such Canadian Borrower.  Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.23(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Revolving Commitment remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in or construed by any applicable law, including the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the applicable Revolving Termination Date and for the purpose of the Criminal Code (Canada), in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
(e)If at any time the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company has determined or the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i)(A) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i)(B) or (a)(ii)(B) have arisen or (iii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the relevant Benchmark (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include a positive or negative adjustment that may enable the parties hereto to mitigate some of the differences between the relevant Benchmark, as applicable, and the alternate rate of interest) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention and/or any selection or recommendation by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto, in each case, for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a change in the Applicable Margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.110.1, such amendment shall become effective, with respect to any relevant Facility, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such proposed amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility stating that such Majority Facility Lenders object to such amendment.  
80

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of the replacement of any relevant Benchmark), (i) (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including EURIBOR or CDOR) and either (A) (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on the applicable screen rate or other information service that publishes such screen rate from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (B) (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) (A) is subsequently displayed on the applicable screen rate or information service for a Benchmark or (B) (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark, then the Administrative Agent shall modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g)Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.23 2.23 (but taking into account any then Available Tenors), (x) any interest election request pursuant to Section 2.19 2.19 that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurocurrency Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, shall be ineffective and (y) if any request for a Loan constitutes a request for an RFR Loan denominated in Dollars, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan.
2.24Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Evidence of Debt.    (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Loans under any Facility by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower from the Lenders under such Facility hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders under any Facility  shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders in such Facility except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.14, 2.16(b), 2.16(c), 2.16(d), 2.16(e)2.16(d), 2.16(e), 2.29. 2.30 and 2.33.
(b)[Reserved.]
(c)Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans under such Revolving Facility then held by the Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.16(b), 2.16(c), 2.16(d), 2.16(e)2.16(d), 2.16(e), 2.29, 2.30 and 2.33.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, each such payment shall be paid in the relevant currency in which such Revolving Loan was made.
(d)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made (i) in the case of payments in respect of Converted RMB Revolving Loans or Converted RMB Revolving Commitments, prior to 3:00 P.M. Hong Kong time and (ii) in all other cases (other than in the case of payments in respect of Brazilian Revolving Loans and Brazilian Revolving Commitments), prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, at the Funding Office or RMB Funding Office, as applicable, in the applicable Currency or RMB and in immediately available funds, except that (i) payment of fronting fees owing to any Issuing Lender shall be made directly to the relevant Issuing Lender and (ii) all payments in 
81

respect of Brazilian Revolving Facilities shall be made at the times and in accordance with the Master Brazilian Facilities Agreement and the Brazilian Borrowing Instruments.  The Applicable Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans, RFR Loans (including any RFR Competitive Loans), CDI Loans and CNHHIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan, RFR Loan (including any RFR Competitive Loans) or a CNHHIBOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.  If any payment on a CDI Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, payment thereof shall be made in accordance with the Brazilian Master Facilities Agreement and the applicable Brazilian Borrowing Instruments.  
(e)Unless the Applicable Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing (other than a borrowing of Brazilian Revolving Loans) that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Applicable Agent, and the Applicable Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Applicable Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Applicable Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, (A) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at a rate up to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (B) in the case of amounts denominated in any other Currency or RMB, at a rate determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Applicable Agent.  A certificate of the Applicable Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Applicable Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Applicable Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon (A) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, (B) in the case of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the rate per annum applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility or (C) in the case of amounts denominated in any other Currency or RMB, at a rate determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, on demand, from the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower.
(f)Unless the Applicable Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower prior to the date of any payment (other than a payment in respect of any Brazilian Revolving Loans or any Brazilian Revolving Facility) due to be made by the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder that the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower will not make such payment to the Applicable Agent, the Applicable Agent may assume that the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower is making such payment, and the Applicable Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Applicable Agent by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Applicable Agent shall be entitled to recover, 
82

on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, (A) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) in the case of amounts denominated in other Currencies or RMB, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of any Applicable Agent or any Lender against the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower.
(g)[Reserved.]
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24, while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, all payments and distributions by any Applicable Agent on account of Obligations shall be applied (except as otherwise agreed to by the Applicable Agent and the Majority Facility Lenders under each Facility adversely effected thereby and, in the case of clause (vi)(vi), the Company) in the following order:
(i)first, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Applicable Agents;
(ii)second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and Issuing Lenders;
(iii)third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of all Obligations;
(iv)fourth, to pay or prepay principal payments (and, when applicable, to provide cash collateral) for all Obligations;
(v)fifth, to pay all other Obligations; and
(vi)sixth, as directed by the Company.
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations set forth in any of clauses (i)(i) through (v)(v) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Applicable Agent’s, each Lender’s and each Issuing Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses.
(i)Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit U-2 (a “Revolving Note”), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.
2.25Requirements of Law.  Except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.26 of this Agreement and except with respect to Competitive Loans to which this Section 2.25 shall be inapplicable:
(a)If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive 
83

(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:
(i)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or
(ii)shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or CNHHIBOR Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay such Lender, within 15 Business Days of receipt of notice from the relevant Lender as described below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and if applicable, the RMB Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (including a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts).
(b)If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (together with a reasonably detailed description and calculation of such amounts), the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c)A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Company and the relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
84

2.26Taxes.    (a) All payments made by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement (other than in respect of any Competitive Loans as to which this Section 2.26(a) shall not apply) shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (a) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Applicable Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Applicable Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Applicable Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and (b) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other Governmental Authority.  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Applicable Agent or any Lender hereunder, (i) (i) the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (as applicable) shall make such deductions and shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws and (ii) (ii) the amounts so payable to such Applicable Agent or such Lender hereunder shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Applicable Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Applicable Agent or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes except to the extent that any change in applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or governmental authorization after the time such Lender (including any new or successor Swingline Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent) becomes a party to this Agreement (“Change in Tax Law”), shall result in an increase in the rate of any deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, in respect of payments to such Lender hereunder, but only to the extent of such increase.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to increase any amounts payable to any Applicable Agent or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are (i) attributable to such Person’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d)(d) or (e)(e) of this Section 2.26 except as such failure relates to a Change in Tax Law rendering such Person legally unable to comply or (ii) are Taxes imposed under FATCA.
(b)In addition, the Company or any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes over to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower shall send to the Applicable Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower showing payment thereof.  If the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Applicable Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower shall indemnify the Applicable Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest, additions to tax, expenses or penalties that may become payable by the Applicable Agents or any Lender as a 
85

result of any such failure; provided, however, no such indemnification obligation shall arise if the failure to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due arose solely from or was caused solely by, directly or indirectly, any breach of any representation or covenant in this Agreement by the applicable Lender or the Applicable Agent.  The indemnification payment under this Section 2.26(c) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Applicable Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) makes a written demand therefor (together with a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts).
(d) (i) Each Lender (or Transferee) (A) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Applicable Agents two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of a Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) that is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Applicable Agents (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation).  Thereafter, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender at any other time prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Company.  If any Commitment is reallocated in accordance with Section 2.16(b), (c), (d) or (e) then the relevant Revolving Lender (to whom such Commitment has been reallocated) shall deliver, on the effective date of such reallocation, all such forms that it is legally able to deliver.  In the event of a Change in Tax Law, each Lender shall deliver all such forms that it is legally able to deliver, including any form claiming a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Company at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (and any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). 
(ii)(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower and the Applicable Agent on or before the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or the Applicable 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 Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or the Applicable Agent as may be necessary for the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower and the Applicable Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of 
86

this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date.
(iii)(iii)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date, the Company, the Subsidiary Borrowers and the Applicable Agents shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Applicable Agents to treat) the Commitments and the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).”
(e)With respect to each Subsidiary Borrower, a Lender or Transferee shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), prior to the first date any payment is due to be paid from or by such Subsidiary Borrower to it hereunder, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to such Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on such payment under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated or organized.  If any Commitment is reallocated in accordance with Section 2.16(b), (c), (d) or (e), then the relevant Revolving Lender (to whom such Commitment has been reallocated) shall deliver on the effective date of such reallocation, all such forms that it is legally able to deliver, including any form claiming a reduced rate of non-U.S. withholding tax on payments made by the relevant Subsidiary Borrower to such Revolving Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In the event of a Change in Tax Law after the date such Subsidiary Borrower makes the first payment, a Lender or Transferee shall deliver all such required forms that it is legally able to deliver, including any form claiming a reduced rate of non-U.S. withholding tax on payments by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(f)[Reserved.]
(g)If any Applicable Agent, any Transferee or any Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.26, it shall pay over such refund to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower under this Section 2.26 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Applicable Agent, such Transferee or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower, upon the request of such Applicable Agent, such Transferee or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Applicable Agent, such Transferee or such Lender in the event such Applicable Agent, such Transferee or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to (i) (i) interfere with the right of any Applicable Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it sees fit, (ii) (ii) obligate any Applicable Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to claim any tax refund, (iii) (iii) require any Applicable Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes or any computation in respect thereof which it deems in its sole discretion to be confidential) to the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) require any Applicable Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to do anything that would in 
87

its sole discretion prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(h)Each Assignee shall be bound by this Section 2.26.
(i)The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.27Indemnity.  The Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any actual loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of  default by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or CNHHIBOR Loans after the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,  default by the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans or CNHHIBOR Loans after the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,  the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or CNHHIBOR Loans (or the conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan into a Loan of a different Type) on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or  the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or CNHHIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.29.  Such indemnification may include an amount up to the excess, if any, of (i) (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the relevant interbank market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Company and the relevant Subsidiary Borrower by any Lender (together with a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and shall be payable within 30 days of receipt of any such notice.  The agreements in this Section 2.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans hereunder.
2.28Change of Applicable Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.25 or 2.26(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, do not cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer any material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.25 or 2.26(a).
88

2.29Replacement/Termination of Lenders.    (a) The Company shall be permitted to replace with a replacement financial institution or terminate the Commitments and repay any outstanding Loans of any Lender that (i) (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.25 or 2.26(a), (ii) (ii) fails to give its consent for any amendment or waiver requiring the consent of 100% of the Lenders or all affected Lenders (and such Lender is an affected Lender) or 100% of the Lenders under a particular Facility and for which Lenders holding at least 66 2/3% of the Loans and/or Commitments required for such vote have consented or (iii) (iii) fails to give its consent to an extension of any Revolving Termination Date to which the Majority Facility Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility have consented; provided that (A) (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (B) (B) the replacement financial institution or the Company, as applicable, shall purchase or repay, at par plus accrued interest and accrued fees thereon, all Loans owing to such replaced or terminated Lender on or prior to the date of replacement or termination, (C) (C) the Company shall be liable to such replaced or terminated Lender under Section 2.27 if any Eurocurrency Loan, CDI Loan or CNHHIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased or repaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (D) (D) any replacement financial institution, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Applicable Agents, (E) (E) any replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Company shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (F) (F) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Company shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.25 or 2.26(a), as the case may be and (G) (G) any such replacement, termination and/or repayment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Company, the relevant Applicable Agents or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
(b)(i) (i) The unfunded amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender shall be automatically terminated (and the facility fees payable thereon pursuant to Section 2.15(a), (b) (b) and (c) (c) shall cease to accrue) on the date that is 30 days after such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, unless the Company has waived the termination of all of such Revolving Commitments, or any part of such Revolving Commitments to the extent such Defaulting Lender has sold participations therein pursuant to Section 10.6(c), in each case prior to such date (such date of termination, the “Termination Date”), and (ii) (ii) any funded amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender shall be terminated and repaid on the Termination Date or from time to time as the Company determines to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, which it shall be permitted to do on a non-pro rata basis, notwithstanding Section 2.242.24; provided that to the extent that any termination under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.29(b) would cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Lender under any Facility to exceed the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender under such Facility, the Company shall repay Revolving Loans of such Lender under such Facility, so as to eliminate such excess.  In the case of either clause (i) or (ii), the Company may, at its option, replace, in whole or in part, any such Revolving Lender with one or more replacement financial institutions (which agree to act as such) with aggregate Revolving Commitments not to exceed the Revolving Commitment that was terminated; provided that (A) (A) if such Revolving Lender is being replaced or terminated pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.29(b), the replacement financial institution or the Company, as applicable, shall purchase or repay, at par plus accrued interest and accrued fees thereon, those Loans owing to such replaced or terminated Lender that the Company elects to purchase or repay (or cause to be purchased or repaid, as applicable) on the date of such replacement or termination, and the Company shall be liable to such replaced or terminated Lender under Section 2.27 if any 
89

2.30New Local Facilities.   (a) The Company may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, request the Revolving Lenders to designate a portion of their respective Revolving Commitments under any Revolving Facility to make Revolving Extensions of Credit denominated in one or more of Dollars, Brazilian Reais, Chinese Renminbi and any Optional Currency pursuant to a newly established sub-facility or sub-facilities under any Revolving Facility or a separate revolving facility (each, a “New Local Facility”); provided that (i) (i) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Local Facility Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided further that no Lender shall be required to make Revolving Extensions of Credit in excess of its Revolving Commitment, and (ii) (ii) after giving effect to any such New Local Facility, the Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Class shall not exceed the Domestic Revolving Commitments of such Class, the Canadian Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Class shall not exceed the Canadian Revolving Commitments of such Class, the Brazilian Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Class shall not exceed the Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class, the Unconverted RMB Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Class shall not exceed the Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of such Class, the Converted RMB Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Class shall not exceed the Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of such Class and the Multicurrency Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Class shall not exceed the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of such Class.

Each notice from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.30 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant New Local Facility and the Revolving Facility or Facilities designated by the Company to be reduced as a result of the establishment of such New Local Facility.  Revolving Lenders wishing to designate a portion of their Revolving Commitments under a designated Facility to a New Local Facility (each, a “New Local Facility Lender”) shall have such portion of their Revolving Commitment under such Facility designated to such New Local Facility on a pro rata basis in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the other New Local Facility Lenders; provided that no Lender may so reallocate its Revolving Commitments to a New Local Facility if such reallocation would result in amounts being payable by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower under Section 2.25 or Section 2.26 unless such Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office to avoid such a result or the Company otherwise consents.  The designation of Revolving Commitments to any New Local Facility shall be made pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Local Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each New Local Facility Lender.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.30 to the contrary, no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to transfer any portion of its Revolving Commitments to a New Local Facility unless it so agrees.  
90

(b)Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.1(a), any Local Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to implement the provisions of this Section, a copy of which shall be made available to each Lender.  
2.31[Reserved.] 
2.32Incremental Revolving Commitments/Facilities.    (a) The Company may from time to time notify the Administrative Agent that certain of the Lenders designated by the Company and/or that additional lenders shall be added to this Agreement as Incremental Lenders with Commitments for the purpose of either increasing the existing Revolving Commitments under any 20245 Revolving Facility or 20267 Revolving Facility (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or establishing an Incremental Revolving Facility by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and any other relevant Applicable Agent an Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice signed by such Lenders or such additional lenders and specifying (i) (i) the respective Incremental Revolving Commitments of such Incremental Lenders, (ii) (ii) the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Closing Date or Revolving Commitment Increase Date, and (iii) (iii) with respect to any Incremental Revolving Facility (A) (A) the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (B) (B) the Currency or Currencies or Brazilian Reais or Chinese Renminbi available under such Incremental Revolving Facility, (C) (C) the borrower(s) thereunder (which may be the Company and any Subsidiary Borrowers), (D) (D) the Applicable Margin and other fees applicable to Incremental Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit to be made available under such Incremental Revolving Facility, and (E) (E) any additional terms applicable to such Incremental Revolving Facility, including the borrowing procedures related thereto (in each case, as agreed between the Company and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loans), and otherwise duly completed; provided that (1) (1) after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase or Incremental Revolving Facility (including the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Loans on the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase Date or Incremental Revolving Facility Closing Date and use of proceeds thereof), (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, (y) [Reserved] and (z) the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $18,000,000,000, (2) (2) the Incremental Revolving Loan Maturity Date applicable to such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be no earlier than the Revolving Termination Date for the 20245 Revolving Commitments then in effect, and (3) (3) if any terms added to such Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to the foregoing clause (E)(E) (other than in respect of interest rates, fees, call features or premiums) are less favorable to the Company and its Subsidiaries than the terms of this Agreement at such time, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have entered into amendments to this Agreement to include such additional terms for the benefit of all Lenders hereunder.
(b)Each Incremental Lender that is a signatory to an Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving credit loans (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) to the Company and/or the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time on or after the Incremental Revolving Loan Closing Date or Revolving Commitment Increase Date specified in such Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Lender specified in such Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice.  Nothing in this 
91

Section 2.32 shall be construed to obligate any Lender to execute an Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice.
(c)On any Revolving Commitment Increase Date with respect to any Revolving Facility of any Class, in the event any Revolving Loans of such Class under the relevant Facility of such Class are then outstanding, (i) (i) each relevant Incremental Revolving Lender shall make available to the Applicable Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Applicable Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Revolving Commitments and the application of such amounts to prepay Revolving Loans of such Class under the relevant Facility of such Class of other relevant Revolving Lenders under the relevant Facility of such Class, the Revolving Loans of such Class under the relevant Facility of such Class to be held ratably by Revolving Lenders of such Class under the relevant Facility of such Class in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the relevant Facility of such Class after giving effect to such increase, (ii) (ii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans of such Class under the relevant Facility of such Class and (iii) (iii) the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to the relevant Revolving Lenders of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.27 as a result of such prepayment.
(d)Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.1(a), the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enter into any amendments to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent believes are necessary to appropriately include, or provide for the integration of, any Revolving Commitment Increase or any Incremental Revolving Facility under this Agreement and matters required by clause (3)(3) of the proviso to Section 2.32(a).
(e)For purposes of this Agreement (including Section 1.3(d) hereof) all Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of any Class added pursuant to any Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed  to have been converted (automatically and without requiring delivery of a RMB Commitment Conversion Notice) from Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments at the RMB Exchange Rate as of the Business Day prior to the date of the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Activation Notice.
2.33Revolving Termination Date Extension.    (a) The Company may at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request a one-year or two-year extension of the Revolving Termination Date with respect to the 20245 Revolving Facilities or the 20267 Revolving Facilities, as the case may be, and, at the Company’s option, amend the Applicable Margins for the applicable Revolving Facilities in connection with such request; provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such request.   Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facilities thereof.  Each Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facilities shall respond to such request in writing within 30 calendar days after such request and any failure of a Revolving Lender to respond shall be deemed to be a denial of such request.  If the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to such Revolving Facilities agree to such extension, the Revolving Termination Date with respect to such Revolving Facilities shall be extended to the date specified in the Company’s extension request and with the amended Applicable Margin, if any, specified in such extension request subject, with respect to each Non-Extending Lender, to the provisions of Section 2.33(b).
(b)If any Revolving Lender under the 20245 Revolving Facilities or the 20267 Revolving Facilities, as the case may be, does not consent to any extension request pursuant to Section 2.33(a) (a “Non-Extending Lender”) but the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to 
92

such Revolving Facilities agree to such extension (each such Lender, an “Extending Lender”), then (i) (i) the Revolving Termination Date for each Extending Lender in respect of such Revolving Facilities shall be extended to the date specified in the Company’s extension request and, if applicable, the Applicable Margins amended with respect to the Extending Lenders only and (ii) (ii) the Revolving Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender and the existing Applicable Margins shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.29, continue until the Revolving Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender in effect prior to such extension.
(c)Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.1(a), the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enter into any amendments to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent believes are necessary to appropriately reflect, or provide for the integration of, any extension of a Revolving Termination Date or change in Applicable Margins pursuant to this Section 2.33. 
2.34Brazilian Revolving Commitments.    (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Brazilian Revolving Lender of any Class severally agrees to make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) revolving credit loans (“Brazilian Revolving Loans”) of such Class in Brazilian Reais to any Brazilian Subsidiary Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period applicable to such Class pursuant to, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Master Brazilian Facilities Agreement and an applicable Brazilian Borrowing Instrument; provided that, after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) (i) such Lender’s Brazilian Revolving Extensions of Credit of the applicable Class do not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class, (ii) (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect, (iii) (iii) the Total 20245 Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total 20245 Revolving Commitments then in effect and (iv) the Total 20267 Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total 20267 Revolving Commitments then in effect.  During the Revolving Commitment Period in respect of any Class any Brazilian Subsidiary Borrower may use the Brazilian Revolving Commitments of such Class by borrowing, prepaying the Brazilian Revolving Loans of such Class in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and of the Master Brazilian Facilities Agreement and the applicable Brazilian Borrowing Instrument.  The Brazilian Revolving Loans shall be CDI Loans.
(b)The relevant Brazilian Subsidiary Borrower shall repay all outstanding Brazilian Revolving Loans of any Class of a Lender on the Revolving Termination Date for such Lender applicable to such Class.
(c)On the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date and each Brazilian Revolving Commitment Recalculation Date, the Brazilian Administrative Agent shall determine the amount, in Brazilian Reais, of the Brazilian Revolving Commitments of each Class of each Brazilian Revolving Lender and shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Brazilian Subsidiary Borrowers and the respective Brazilian Revolving Lenders of the amounts thereof.  Any such determination by the Brazilian Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.35Brazilian Reporting.  Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, the Brazilian Administrative Agent shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i)  on the last Business Day of each month, the amount in Brazilian Reais of all Brazilian Revolving Loans of each Class outstanding, (ii)  on each Business Day on which the Brazilian Administrative Agent expects Brazilian Revolving Loans to 
93

If no election as to the Type of an Unconverted RMB Revolving Loan is specified in any such notice, then the requested borrowing shall be an ABR Loan.  Each borrowing under the Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount equal to $50,000,000 (or, if(i) the then aggregate Available Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments in respect of such Class are less thanor (ii) $50,000,000, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof.  Upon receipt of any such notice from any RMB Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Unconverted RMB Revolving Lender holding Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class of such notice.  Each Unconverted RMB Revolving Lender holding Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable RMB Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by such RMB Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

(b)Any RMB Borrower may borrow under any Class of Converted RMB Revolving Commitments during the applicable Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that such RMB Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the RMB Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 11:00 A.M., Hong Kong time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date specifying (A) (A) the amount and Class of Converted RMB Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (B) (B) the requested Borrowing Date and (C) (C) the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period(s) therefor.  If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice, then the applicable RMB Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Each borrowing under the Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is not less than 50,000,000 RMB and an integral multiple of 10,000,000 RMB (or, if the then aggregate Available Converted RMB Revolving Commitments in respect of such Class are less than 50,000,000 RMB, such lesser amount.  Upon receipt of any such notice from an RMB Borrower, the RMB Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Converted RMB Revolving Lender holding Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class of such notice.  Each Converted RMB Revolving Lender holding Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class will make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the RMB Administrative Agent for the account of such RMB Borrower at the RMB Funding Office prior to 11:00 A.M., Hong Kong time, on the Borrowing Date requested by such RMB Borrower in funds immediately available to the RMB Administrative Agent.

2.38Conversion of RMB Revolving Commitments.    (a) The Company shall have the right, by delivery of an RMB Commitment Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent, the RMB Administrative Agent and the RMB Revolving Lenders, 
95

to require the Unconverted RMB Revolving Lenders under the Unconverted RMB Revolving Facility of each Class to convert (an “RMB Commitment Conversion”), on the RMB Commitment Conversion Date set forth in such RMB Commitment Conversion Notice, all or pro rata portions, of their respective Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of such Class to Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of the corresponding Class pro rata between each Class of Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments in accordance with the percentage of Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments under each Class of the Unconverted RMB Revolving Facility existing at such time (and, in each case, such RMB Revolving Lenders shall be permitted to assign such Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments to any of its affiliates in connection with such reallocation; provided that (x) any such assignment to an affiliate that would result in amounts being payable to such affiliate under Section 2.25 2.25 or Section 2.26 2.26 under applicable laws, rules or regulations in effect at the time of such assignment may only be made with the consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion) and (y) no such assignment shall be permitted if Section 2.23(c) 2.23(c) would apply at the time of such assignment); provided that, after giving effect to any such conversion (and any simultaneous repayment of Unconverted RMB Revolving Loans), the aggregate Unconverted RMB Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of any Class shall not exceed the aggregate Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of such Class.  Each RMB Commitment Conversion Notice from the Company pursuant to this paragraph (a)(a) shall set forth the amount and Class of the Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments of each Class to be converted and the RMB Commitment Conversion Date for such RMB Commitment Conversion (which date shall comply with the definition of “RMB Commitment Conversion Date”).  Any such conversion shall be in an amount equal to $250,000,000, or a whole multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the aggregate amount of Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments then outstanding.  Any such conversion shall reduce the Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitment of each Class of each Unconverted RMB Revolving Lender of such Class pro rata in accordance with its existing Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments under such Facility at such time and increase each such RMB Revolving Lender’s Converted RMB Revolving Commitment of the corresponding Class by an amount, in RMB, determined pursuant to Section 2.38(b).  On the date of any such conversion, (i) each relevant RMB Revolving Lender shall make available to the RMB Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the RMB Administrative Agent shall determine are necessary in order to cause, after giving effect to such increased Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class and the application of such amounts to prepay Converted RMB Revolving Loans of such Class of other relevant RMB Revolving Lenders of such Class, the Converted RMB Revolving Loans of such Class to be held ratably by all RMB Revolving Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Converted RMB Revolving Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such increase, (ii) the relevant RMB Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Converted RMB Revolving Loans of such Class and (iii) the relevant RMB Borrower shall pay to the relevant Converted RMB Revolving Lenders of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.27 2.27 as a result of such prepayment.
(b)The aggregate principal amount, in RMB, of Unconverted RMB Revolving Commitments reallocated to Converted RMB Revolving Commitments pursuant to clause (a) (a) above on the applicable RMB Commitment Conversion Date shall be calculated based on the RMB Exchange Rate on the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable RMB Commitment Conversion Notice Date for such reallocation.    
96

(c)Each payment (including any payment of interest, principal, fees and other obligations) in respect of Converted RMB Revolving Commitments and any Converted RMB Revolving Loans shall be made in RMB.  
2.39Sustainability Adjustments.
(a)(a)(i) Each of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be effective on the Sustainability Adjustment Date and (ii) each change in the Applicable Margin and the Facility Fee Rate resulting from a Sustainability Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Adjustment Date.
(b)(b)For the avoidance of doubt, the Sustainability Pricing Certificate may be delivered only once (as to any given Key Performance Indicator) in respect of any calendar year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin will never be reduced by more than [Redacted] or increased by more than [Redacted] and the Facility Fee Rate will never be reduced or increased by more than [Redacted], in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, as applicable, during any calendar year (the “Maximum Adjustment”). For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin due to a Sustainability Margin Adjustment or any adjustment to the Facility Fee Rate due to a Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment in any calendar year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.
(c)(c)If the Company fails to provide the Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent with the Sustainability Pricing Certificate or one or more of the KPI Metrics for any calendar year within the timeframe indicated in Section 6.26.2, the Applicable Margin shall be increased by [Redacted] and the Facility Fee Rate shall be increased by [Redacted] for each applicable Key Performance Indicator for which a KPI Metric has not been submitted, commencing on the Sustainability Adjustment Date and continuing until five Business Days following the date on which the Company submits another Sustainability Pricing Certificate for such Key Performance Indicator (or if no such Sustainability Pricing Certificate is provided, for the subsequent calendar year); provided, that it is understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin and the Facility Fee Rate, as applicable, will never be increased by more than the Maximum Adjustment.
(d)(d)Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Structuring Agents shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Company of any Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any KPI Metrics Report or any Sustainability Pricing Certificate (and the Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).
(e)(e)In the event of a Regulatory Change in relation to any Key Performance Indicator, the Company and the Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent shall negotiate in good faith, by no later than 60 days following the effective date of such Regulatory Change any necessary amendment, modification or other supplement to Schedule 6.2 (Sustainability Performance Thresholds) (and /or any component definitions thereof) solely to reasonably accommodate the effect of such Regulatory Change on the Sustainability Performance Thresholds. Such amendment, modification or other supplement, shall require the consent a
97

nd approval of the Company, the Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent and will take effect so long as Lenders constituting Required Lenders do not object to such changes within five Business Days after receiving written notice of such proposed amendment, modification or other supplement. If the Company, the Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent do not agree to any such amendment, modification or supplement following the 60 day period, then, upon the written agreement among the Company, the Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent, which will take effect so long as Lenders constituting Required Lenders do not object to such agreement within five Business Days after the Lenders’ receipt of written notice of such proposed agreement, the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment shall cease to apply for the relevant Key Performance Indicator and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for all purposes hereunder, the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment for such Key Performance Indicator shall be deemed to be zero. In the case such Key Performance Indicator no longer applies, (i) the Company will then cease to refer to the applicable Key Performance Indicator in the Sustainability Pricing Certificate, (ii) the Maximum Adjustment shall be automatically updated to exclude any adjustments for such Key Performance Indicator and (iii) the Bonus Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be automatically adjusted to exclude any performance requirement with respect to such Key Performance Indicator; provided that if no Key Performance Indicator applies, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for all purposes hereunder the Bonus Sustainability Margin Adjustment shall be deemed to be zero.
SECTION 3.    LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1L/C Commitment.    (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Applicable Domestic Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit and, with the consent of such Issuing Lender, letters of guarantee (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Company, any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower or any other Subsidiary on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in respect of the 20267 Domestic Revolving Commitments in such form as may be reasonable and customary for the purpose thereof; provided that (i) (i) no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (A) (A) the Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment then in effect, (B) (B) the aggregate amount of the Applicable Available Domestic Revolving Commitments would be less than zero, (C) (C) the Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit then in effect, (D) (D) [Reserved], (E) (E) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect or (F) (F) the Total 20267 Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total 20267 Revolving Commitments and (ii) (ii) the Company shall be a co-applicant, and jointly and severally liable with respect to, each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Borrower.  Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars or, if agreed by the Issuing Lender, any Optional Currency and (y) expire no later than the date that is one year after the latest Revolving Termination Date in effect at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (or such later date as the relevant Issuing Lender shall agree).
(b)(b)No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
3.2Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.  The Company or any Subsidiary Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter 
98

of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request.  Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the relevant Issuing Lender and the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower.  The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof.  The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).  No Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.2 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied.  The Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Issuing Lenders upon becoming aware that such conditions in Section 5.2 are thereafter satisfied.  The Issuing Lenders shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit.
3.3Fees and Other Charges.  The Company will pay a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the account of each L/C Participant with respect to its 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage of the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit during each Fee Payment Period at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin (without giving effect to any Credit Adjustment Spread) then in effect with respect to RFR Loans under the applicable Domestic Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the 20267 Domestic Revolving Lenders, payable in arrears for each Fee Payment Period on the related Fee Payment Date.  In addition, the Company shall pay a fronting fee in an amount agreed separately with each Issuing Lender on the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (other than any Existing Letter of Credit) during each Fee Payment Period, payable in arrears for each Fee Payment Period on the related Fee Payment Date.  For the purposes of the foregoing calculations, the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency for any Fee Payment Period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) (i) the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit (expressed in the Optional Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated) by (ii) (ii) the Exchange Rate for each such Optional Currency in effect on the first Business Day of the related Fee Payment Period or by such other method that the Administrative Agent and the Company may agree.
3.4L/C Participations.    (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued, and the amount 
99

of each draft paid, by such Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company or other applicant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage, in each case of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (calculated, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, as of the Reimbursement Date therefor).  Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, (iv) (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b)If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to any Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to any Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) (i) such amount, times (ii) (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the 20267 Domestic Revolving Facility.  A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c)Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or other applicant or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
(d)Each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees that, on the EighNineteenth Amendment Effective Date, such L/C Participant’s undivided interest in respect of Letters of Credit then outstanding, and unreimbursed drafts paid under any Letter of Credit, shall be redetermined as if such outstanding Letters of Credit had been issued as of such date and shall be equal to such L/C 
100

Participant’s 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit as of such date.  If a draft is paid on any date thereafter under any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company or other applicant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s 20267 Domestic Revolving Percentage then in effect of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed; provided, however, that at no time shall such L/C Participant’s Domestic Revolving Extensions of Credit in respect of the 20267 Domestic Revolving Facility exceed its 20267 Domestic Revolving Commitments.  For the avoidance of doubt, the redetermination provided for in this Section 3.4(d) shall not be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2.
3.5Reimbursement Obligation of the Company.  If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Company or other applicant shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the draft so paid, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives notice of payment of such draft (such date, the “Reimbursement Date”).  Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency and in immediately available funds; provided that, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, if such payment, or obligation to make such payment, in an Optional Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or any Domestic Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or any similar tax that would not be payable if such payment were paid or required to be paid in Dollars, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall, at its option, (A) pay the amount of such tax to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or the relevant Lender or (B) pay the Dollar Equivalent of such draft (calculated as of the Reimbursement Date); provided, further that if such payment is not made on the applicable Reimbursement Date the obligation to pay such draft shall be permanently converted into an obligation to pay the Dollar Equivalent amount of such draft (calculated as of such Reimbursement Date).  Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the Reimbursement Date until payment in full at the rate set forth in Section 2.21(h)2.21(h).
3.6Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Company and each relevant Subsidiary Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 of the Company and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of 
101

such Issuing Lender.  The Company and each relevant Subsidiary Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower.
3.7Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lenders to the Company or relevant Subsidiary Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8Applications.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9Existing Letters of Credit.  On and as of the Closing Date the letters of credit and letters of guarantee set forth on Schedule 3.9 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) will constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement and for the purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued for the account of the Company on the Closing Date and each issuer thereof shall be deemed to be an Issuing Lender hereunder solely for the purposes of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10 (whether or not such issuer is otherwise an Issuing Lender hereunder).  
3.10Collateral.  The Company may at its option at any time and from time to time Collateralize any Letter of Credit (with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender).  In addition, on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date in respect of 20267 Domestic Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Company shall (or shall cause the relevant Subsidiary to) Collateralize any Letter of Credit with an expiration date occurring after such Revolving Termination Date.  Any Letter of Credit that is Collateralized as provided in this Section 3.10 shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder effective on the date of such Collateralization and, accordingly, the rights and obligations of Domestic Revolving Lenders in respect thereof (including pursuant to Section 3.4) shall terminate. 
3.11New Issuing Lenders; L/C Commitments.    (a) The Company may from time to time (i) (i) terminate any Issuing Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder (on a prospective basis only) for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender, (ii) (ii) add additional Issuing Lenders hereunder and (iii) (iii) increase or decrease the L/C Commitment of any existing Issuing Lender.  If the Company shall decide to add a new Issuing Lender under this Agreement, then the Company may appoint from among the 20267 Revolving Lenders (or an Applicable Lending Office thereof) a new Issuing Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder, and the term “Issuing Lender” shall mean such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment.  The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder in 
102

accordance with this Agreement or an increase of the L/C Commitment of any existing Issuing Lender, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new issuer of Letters of Credit or existing Issuing Lender, as applicable, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, the Company and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall become an “Issuing Lender” hereunder or such increased L/C Commitment shall become effective.

SECTION 9.    THE AGENTS
9.1Appointment.    (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Applicable Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Applicable Agents, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Applicable Agents by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Applicable Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Applicable Agent.
(b)[Reserved.]
9.2Delegation of Duties.  The Applicable Agents may execute any of their duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Applicable Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by any of them with reasonable care.
9.3Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations 
114

hereunder or thereunder.  The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4Reliance by Applicable Agents.  The Applicable Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, e-mail, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by any of them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by any Applicable Agent.  The Applicable Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Applicable Agent.  The Applicable Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified in this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Applicable Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified in this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5Notice of Default.  The Applicable Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the other Applicable Agents.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified in this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its 
115

own decision to make its Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Applicable Agent hereunder, the Applicable Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of any Applicable Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it and any other extension of credit made by it hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9Successor Agent.  An Applicable Agent may resign as such Applicable Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company.  If an Applicable Agent shall resign as such Applicable Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Company shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be 
116

unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Applicable Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent”, “Brazilian Administrative Agent”, “RMB Administrative Agent”, “Lead Sustainability Structuring Agent” or “Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent”, as the case may be, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Applicable Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Applicable Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Applicable Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Applicable Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Applicable Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Applicable Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and, which consent, shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Company shall have occurred and be continuing), appoint a successor Applicable Agent, which (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, (ii) in the case of the Brazilian Administrative Agent, shall be a bank that is a Lender, or an affiliate of a Lender, and is authorized to conduct commercial banking business in Brazil or (iii) in the case of the RMB Administrative Agent, shall be a bank that is a Lender, or an affiliate of a Lender.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Applicable Agent hereunder by a successor Applicable Agent, such successor Applicable Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Applicable Agent, and the retiring Applicable Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Applicable Agent’s resignation as an Applicable Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Applicable Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.10Bookrunners, Lead Arrangers, Documentation Agents and Syndication Agents.  None of the Syndication Agents or any of the bookrunners, lead arrangers, documentation agents or the agent identified on the cover page to this Agreement shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in their respective capacities as such.

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries 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 unless the same shall have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee, any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons or trustees.  All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 30 Business Days after the party to whom such amount is owed has provided a statement or invoice therefor, setting forth in reasonable detail, the amount due and the relevant provision of this Section 10.5 under which such amount is payable by the Company.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that the Company may ask for reasonable supporting documentation to support any request to reimburse or pay out of pocket expenses, legal fees and disbursements and that the grace period to pay any such amounts shall not commence until such supporting documentation has been received by the Company. Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Company at the address of the Company set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.  The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.6Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.    (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) (i) other than pursuant to Section 7.7, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) (ii) no Lender may assign 
127

or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
(b)(i)(i)    Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii)(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and/or Acceptances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A)with respect to any Revolving Facility:
(1)the Company; 
(2)the Administrative Agent;
(3)each Material Issuing Lender at such time; and
(4)each Material Swingline Lender at such time;
provided, that none of the foregoing consents in relation to any Revolving Facility shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Revolving Lender, (y) in the case of the Company only, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or (z) except as expressly set forth in Section 2.382.38, in respect of any assignment of any RMB Revolving Commitments or RMB Revolving Loans from any RMB Revolving Lender to any of its affiliates in connection with any RMB Commitment Conversion.
(B)[Reserved.]
(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
(B)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in respect of any assignment of any RMB Revolving Commitments or RMB Revolving Loans from any RMB Revolving Lender to any of its affiliates in connection with any RMB Commitment Conversion); 
(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and
(D)any assignment of any RMB Revolving Commitments or RMB Revolving Loans of any Class shall consist of a pro rata portion of the Unconverted RMB Revolving 
128

Commitments and Converted RMB Revolving Commitments and the Unconverted RMB Revolving Loans and Converted RMB Revolving Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender. 
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.25, 2.26, 2.27 and 10.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(c) of this Section.
(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Applicable Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Issuing Lender and any Swingline Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Applicable Agents, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans and/or Acceptances owing to it); provided that (A) (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) (B) such 
129

Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) (C) the Company, each Applicable Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) (D) no later than January 31 of each year, such Lender shall provide the Company with a written description of each participation of Loans, Acceptances and/or Commitments by such Lender during the prior year (it being understood that any failure to provide notice shall not render the participation invalid).  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1(a) and (2) (2) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii)(c)(ii) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.25, 2.26 and 2.27 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)(b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, and subject to paragraph (c)(ii)(c)(ii) of this Section, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Loans, Commitments or other Obligations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements.
(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.25 or 2.26 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any funds directly from the Company in respect of Sections 2.25, 2.26, 2.27 or 10.7 unless such Participant shall have provided to Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, such information as is required to be recorded in the Register pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) above as if such Participant were a Lender.  Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.26 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.26(d) and (e) as though it were a Lender.
(iii)Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent required pursuant to Section 10.6(c) or to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
130

(d)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)The Company, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.
(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b).  Each of the Company, each Subsidiary Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.
10.7Adjustments; Set-off; Revolver Allocation.    (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash in Dollars from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b)In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon all amounts owing hereunder becoming due and payable (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 
131

the account of the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company 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.
(c)In the case of the Revolving Lenders of any Class, at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.24, each payment received by any Lender or any Applicable Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations of each Loan Party owing to any Revolving Lender of such Class or, in the case of any 20267 Revolving Lenders, any Issuing Lender (as to the Revolving Lenders of any Class, the “Revolving Obligations” of such Class), and each distribution made by any Applicable Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of Revolving Obligations of such Class, shall be distributed to the Revolving Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages of such Class.  Any direct payment received by a Revolving Lender of any Class at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, including by way of set-off, in respect of the Revolving Obligations of such Class shall be paid over to the Applicable Agent for distribution to the Revolving Lenders of such Class in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing sentence.  In furtherance of the forgoing and in order to effect the allocation of payments and distributions provided for in this paragraph (c), on the date of each such payment or distribution, each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall be deemed to have sold and purchased participations in the Revolving Obligations of such Class and the unfunded Revolving Commitments of such Class under each Revolving Facility of such Class such that, following such deemed exchange, each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class holds, directly or through its Applicable Lending Office, an interest in each one of the Revolving Loans of such Class and other extensions of credit under any Revolving Facility of such Class (including, in the case of 20267 Revolving Lenders, L/C Obligations), and in the unfunded Revolving Commitments of such Class under each Revolving Facility of such Class, equal to such Revolving Lender’s CAM Percentage of such Class on such date (the “CAM Exchange”). For purposes of calculating the appropriate amount to be exchanged in connection with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to this paragraph, the interest in the Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and other extensions of credit denominated in any currency other than Dollars shall be converted into the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of exchange.  Each Revolving Lender of any Class consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange in respect of such Class, and each Revolving Lender of any Class agrees that the CAM Exchange in respect of such Class shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any Person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and other extensions of credit under any Revolving Facility, or in any Revolving Commitment hereunder.
10.8Counterparts.  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 Company and the Administrative Agent.
10.9Severability.  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.
132

10.10Integration.

10.11GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
