(b)      Subject to Section 2.13, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Revolving Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall not be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.14 or 2.16 with respect to such Revolving Loan than that to which the applicable Lender (acting through its domestic branch) was entitled on the date on which such Revolving Loan was 

24

made (or, to the extent provided in such Section, would have been entitled as a result of a Change in Law after the date on which such Revolving Loan was made).
(c)      At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount (i) that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment or (ii) that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(f).  Revolving Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 (or such greater number as may be agreed to by the Paying Agent) Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding.

Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered (or, in the case of any telephonic Borrowing Request, shall be confirmed promptly) by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy to the Paying Agent of an executed written Borrowing Request.  Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and the location and number 

26

of the account of the Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any Swingline Loan requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC Disbursement.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a wire transfer to the account specified in such Borrowing Request or to the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by 1:00 p.m., Pacific time (or, if earlier, one hour after the time of receipt by the Swingline Lender of such Borrowing Request), on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c)      The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Paying Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans in which the Lenders will be required to participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Paying Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, promptly upon receipt of notice as provided above (and in any event, if such notice is received by 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on a Business Day, no later than 2:00 p.m., Pacific time, on such Business Day, and if received after 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, on a Business Day, no later than 7:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to the Paying Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, the Required Lenders shall have notified the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Paying Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Swingline Loan were then made.  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Paying Agent; any such amounts received by the Paying Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Paying Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Paying Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

Notwithstanding anything contained in any letter of credit application or other agreement furnished to any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, (i) all provisions of such letter of credit application or other agreement purporting to grant Liens in favor of the Issuing Bank to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, (ii) in the event that such letter of credit application or other agreement includes representations and warranties, covenants and/or events of default that do not contain the materiality qualifiers, exceptions or thresholds that are applicable to the analogous provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or are otherwise more restrictive, the relevant qualifiers, 

28

exceptions and thresholds contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed incorporated therein or, to the extent more restrictive, shall be deemed for purposes of such letter of credit application or other agreement to be the same as the analogous provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (iii) in the event of any other inconsistency between the terms and conditions of such letter of credit application or other agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b)      Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension.

(c)      Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that (A) any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not, subject to clause (B) below, to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal not later than a day in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and (B) any Letter of Credit may expire after the applicable date referred to in clause (ii) above if such Letter of Credit is, at the time it is issued, renewed or extended, cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped in an amount and manner and pursuant to documentation approved in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Paying Agent (such approval to be at the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Paying 

29

Agent) (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “Backstopped Letter of Credit”).
(d)      Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Paying Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Required Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Paying Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).

30

(e)      Disbursements.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it and shall promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)      Reimbursements.  If an Issuing Bank shall make an LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Paying Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan.  If the Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above, the Paying Agent shall notify each Lender of such failure, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect of the applicable LC Disbursement and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Paying Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Paying Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  If any Lender shall not have paid to the Paying Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from the Borrower as provided in the preceding sentence, such Lender shall pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Paying Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at, for the first such date, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and, for each day thereafter, the Base Rate.  Promptly following receipt by the Paying Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Paying Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for an LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.  

31

(g)      Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h)      Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, Section 2.12(d) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Paying Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.
(i)      Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Paying Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Paying Agent, in the name of the Paying Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII.  The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b) or 2.19(c), but in no event in excess of 100% of the LC Exposure.  Each such deposit shall be held by the Paying Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  The Paying Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made as reasonably agreed by the Paying Agent and the Borrower and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Paying Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to, in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of 

33

an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no excess shall exist under Section 2.10(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.19(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(j)      Designation of Additional Issuing Banks.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by any Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent and which shall set forth the LC Commitment of such new Issuing Bank, executed by the Borrower, the Paying Agent and such new Issuing Bank and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.
(k)      Termination of an Issuing Bank.  The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Paying Agent.  Any such termination shall become effective upon the date set forth in such notice; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.  At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b).  Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.
(l)      Issuing Bank Reports to the Paying Agent.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Paying Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Paying Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by 

34

the Paying Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Paying Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(m)      LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that by its terms provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases (other than any increase consisting of the reinstatement of an amount previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.
SECTION 2.06.  Funding of Borrowings.  (a) Each Lender shall make (i) each Eurodollar Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 9:00 a.m., Pacific time, and (ii) each Base Rate Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Pacific time (or, if earlier, two hours after the time of delivery to the Paying Agent of the applicable Borrowing Request), in each case to the account of the Paying Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04.  The Paying Agent will make Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, promptly (and, in any event, by (i) 9:30 a.m., Pacific time, in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans and (ii) 1:30 p.m., Pacific time, in the case of Base Rate Revolving Loans) to the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that (A) the proceeds of Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall, by such time, be remitted by the Paying Agent to the Issuing Bank specified by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request and (B) the proceeds of Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the repayment or prepayment of a Swingline Loan shall, by such time, be remitted to the Swingline Lender.
(b)      Unless the Paying Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Paying Agent such Lender’s share of such Revolving 

35

Borrowing, the Paying Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing available to the Paying Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Paying Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Paying Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Paying Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Borrowing.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Paying Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Paying Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Paying Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Revolving Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Paying Agent.
SECTION 2.07.  Interest Elections.  (a)Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Revolving Borrowing to a Revolving Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Revolving Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Revolving Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Revolving Borrowing, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Revolving Borrowing.  This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans.
(b)      To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall give notice (which notice may be given by telephone, to be confirmed in writing as set forth below) to the Paying Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made (or, in the case of any telephonic Interest Election Request, shall be confirmed promptly) by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy to the Paying Agent of an executed written Interest Election Request.  Each telephonic and written Interest 

36

Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Revolving Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Revolving Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Revolving Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Revolving Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Revolving Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one week’s duration.
(c)      Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Paying Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Revolving Borrowing.
(d)      If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for an additional Interest Period of one week.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Paying Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, has notified the Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

37

SECTION 2.08.      Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a)Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b)      The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.
(c)      The Borrower shall notify the Paying Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Paying Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Paying Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any reduction resulting from the termination of any Revolving Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 2.18(b)) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.
SECTION 2.09.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Paying Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (A) the Maturity Date and (B) the date that is the 15th Business Day after the date that such Swingline Loan is made.
(b)      The records maintained by the Paying Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the records maintained by the Paying Agent and any Lender, the records maintained by the Paying Agent shall control; provided further that the failure of the Paying Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

38

(c)      Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Paying Agent and the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.10.  Prepayment of Loans.  (a)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.
(b)      In the event and on each occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day of receiving written notice of such excess from the Paying Agent, prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or deposit cash collateral in an account with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
(c)      The Borrower shall give notice (which notice may be given by telephone, to be confirmed in writing by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy) to the Paying Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) of any optional prepayment under paragraph (a) of this Section and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment under paragraph (b) of this Section (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., Pacific time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the date of prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the date of prepayment (which shall be a Business Day).  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each such Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment of any Borrowings pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Paying Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Paying Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing 

39

of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.
(d)      Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and, subject to Section 2.15, shall be without premium or penalty.  
SECTION 2.11.  Fees.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates; provided that if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Exposure after its Revolving Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Exposure from and including the date on which its Revolving Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Exposure.  Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  
(b)      The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Paying Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate as is mutually agreed between the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower on the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall 

40

be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after written demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)      The Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Paying Agent.
(d)      All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Paying Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and Letter of Credit participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).
SECTION 2.12.  Interest.  (a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)      The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at LIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)      Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at (i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate or (ii) such other rate per annum as shall be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion (it being understood that any such other per annum rate agreed by the Borrower and the Swingline Lender in respect of any Swingline Loan shall not be less than the Swingline Lender’s cost of funds for such Swingline Loan).
(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any LC Disbursement or any fee payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other such amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(e)      Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or 

41

prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(f)      All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Base Rate or LIBOR shall be determined by the Paying Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing:
(a)      the Paying Agent determines (which determination shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period; or
(b)      the Paying Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that LIBOR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Paying Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic, by facsimile or by electronic transmission of a “pdf” or similar copy) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable and, until the Paying Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Revolving Borrowing shall be continued as a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, and (ii) any Borrowing Request for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be treated as a request for a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing.
SECTION 2.14.  Increased Costs.  (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or Issuing Bank; 
(ii)    impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) 

42

affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), in each case by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient to be material, then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)      If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)      If, and for so long as, any Lender shall be required pursuant to the requirements of the Board of Governors to maintain reserves with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in 

43

Regulation D of the Board of Governors), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender additional interest on the applicable Eurodollar Revolving Loans of such Lender at a rate per annum determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable LIBOR divided by (B) one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable LIBOR.  
(d)      A certificate of a Lender or other Recipient setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or other Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(e)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(f)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, no Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient shall request, or be entitled to receive, any compensation pursuant to this Section unless it shall be the general policy or practice of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient to seek compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.
SECTION 2.15.  Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any Eurodollar Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than any notice deemed ineffective as contemplated under Section 2.13 and other than any failure to borrow as a result of a failure to make a Loan by any Lender as required hereunder), (d) the failure to prepay any Eurodollar Revolving Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance 

44

with the terms hereof) or (e) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b) (other than in reliance on clause (iii) thereof), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event in accordance with this Section.  Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to consist of an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at LIBOR (determined without regard to any floor set forth in the definition thereof) that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market.  In no event shall such loss, cost or expense include the loss of anticipated profits or loss of any interest rate floor or any administrative, processing or similar fees.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section (which shall set forth the basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any loss, cost or expense shown on such certificate incurred or suffered more than 30 days prior to the date that such Lender delivers such certificate to the Borrower.
SECTION 2.16.  Taxes.  (a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)      Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.  
( c)      Evidence of Payment.  Upon request by the Paying Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental 

45

Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Paying Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent.
(d)      Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, upon written request therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Paying Agent), or by the Paying Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Recipient the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.  If any Recipient becomes entitled to a refund of Indemnified Taxes for which such Recipient has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, such Recipient shall, at the expense of the Borrower, use its reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to obtain such refund. If any Recipient receives a refund or is entitled to claim a tax credit in respect of any Indemnified Taxes for which such Recipient has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, such Recipient shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund or credit and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Borrower (or promptly upon receipt, if the Borrower has requested application for such refund or credit pursuant hereto), repay such refund or amount of credit to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to return such refund or amount of credit (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund or such credit is denied or subsequently determined to be unavailable.  
(e)      Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall, within 10 days after demand therefor, severally indemnify the Borrower and the Paying Agent for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Paying Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Paying Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Paying Agent or the Borrower in good faith, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that, in the 

46

case of the Borrower, such indemnification shall not apply to Indemnified Taxes.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Paying Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Paying Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Paying Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Paying Agent under this paragraph (e). The agreements in this paragraph (e) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Paying Agent, any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations hereunder.
(f)      Status of Lenders.  (i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent (as applicable), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Paying Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.  
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Paying Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Paying Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)      in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed 

47

originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)      executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)      in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4)      to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Paying Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Paying Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

48

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Paying Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Paying 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.
(iii)    Each Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, the making of such a filing or change (A) would eliminate or reduce the amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 in the future and (B) would not be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or require the disclosure of information that such Lender reasonably considers to be confidential. 
(iv)    Each Lender and the Paying Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Paying Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  
(g)      Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(h)      Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Paying Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. Solely for purposes of clause (D) of paragraph (f)(ii) of this Section, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.17.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.  (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior 

49

to 12:00 p.m., Pacific time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Paying Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Paying Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein.  The Paying Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b)      If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Paying Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)      If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Paying Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time), including pursuant to Sections 2.18(b), 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 or any Extension Agreement or Incremental 

50

Facility Agreement, or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)      Unless the Paying Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Paying Agent for the account of the Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Paying Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Paying Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Paying Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Paying Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)      If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, then the Paying Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Paying Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(f), 2.06(b), 2.16(e), 2.17(d) and 9.03(c), in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Paying Agent in its discretion.
SECTION 2.18.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to 

51

Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
(b)      If (i) any Lender (or any Participant in respect of any Lender) requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender (or any Participant in respect of any Lender) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender (or any Participant in respect of any Lender) pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender has failed to accept an Extension Offer made to such Lender and with respect to which all other Lenders of the applicable Class have accepted such Extension Offer or are being (or have been) replaced or whose Commitments are being (or have been) terminated, in each case in accordance with this Section or (v) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, if more than one Class of Lenders shall then exist, in circumstances where Section 9.02 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, a majority in interest of the Lenders of the relevant Class) shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Paying Agent, (A) terminate the Commitments of such Lender and prepay outstanding Loans of such Lender in full (or terminate the Commitment and prepay Loans of the relevant Class), in each case without any obligation to terminate any Commitment, or prepay any Loan, of any other Lender (other than solely pursuant to Section 2.10(b)), or (B) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, but with the processing and recordation fee being waived by the Paying Agent in such instance), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that, in the case of any such assignment and delegation under clause (B) above, (1) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Paying Agent (and, in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 9.04, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) with respect to such Eligible Assignee, in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and 

52

all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of the relevant Class) from the assignee and/or the Borrower, (3) in the case of any such assignment and delegation relating to a request for compensation under Section 2.14, such assignment and delegation will result in a reduction in such compensation and (4) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation, or to have its Commitments and Loans so terminated or repaid, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation, or to cause such termination or repayment, have ceased to apply.  Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.
SECTION 2.19.  Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)      facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
(b)      the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;
(c)      if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    the Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.04(c)) and LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(d) and 2.05(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated disregarding such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures after giving effect to such reallocation would not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ 

53

Revolving Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Paying Agent (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been reallocated and (B) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)    if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and
(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees payable under Section 2.11(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and all participation fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
(d)      so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will be fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any such funded Swingline Loan or in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders 

54

in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and
(e)      payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Paying Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Paying Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(d) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Paying Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Paying Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Paying Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Paying Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

55

In the event that the Paying Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Paying Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Lender (upon consummation of the foregoing) will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.20.  Incremental Commitments.  (a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Paying Agent, establish any Incremental Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments to be established hereunder on any date shall not exceed during the term of this Agreement the sum of (x) $750,000,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of Commitments terminated under Section 2.18(b).  Each such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which date shall not be less than five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Paying Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Paying Agent), (ii) the amount of the Incremental Commitments requested to be established and (iii) the identity of each Person proposed to become an Incremental Lender in connection therewith (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment and (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to be an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must, if such approval would then be required under Section 9.04 for an assignment to such Person of a Commitment, be approved by the Paying Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
(b)      The terms and conditions of any Incremental Commitment and Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder shall be identical to those of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, and shall be treated as a single Class with the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans; provided that the Borrower at its election may pay upfront or closing fees with respect to Incremental Commitments without paying such fees with respect to the other Revolving Commitments.
(c)      The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Paying Agent; provided that no Incremental Commitments shall become 

56

effective unless (i) at the time of effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments and after giving effect thereto (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (B) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article III are true and correct in all material respects, in each case, on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case to the effect that such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects on and as of such prior date, and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Paying Agent (A) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower confirming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) above and (B) such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.01) by the Paying Agent in connection with any such transaction.  Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Paying Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section.  The Paying Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form and substance of any Incremental Facility Agreement, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(d)      Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) such Incremental Commitment shall constitute (or, in the event such Incremental Lender already has a Revolving Commitment, shall increase) the Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Lender and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be increased by the amount of such Incremental Commitment, in each case, subject to further increase or reduction from time to time as set forth in the definition of the term “Revolving Commitment”.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment, the Revolving Exposure of the Incremental Lender holding such Incremental Commitment, and the Applicable Percentage of all the Lenders, shall automatically be adjusted to give effect thereto.
(e)      On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Incremental Lender that shall have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments shall pay to the Paying Agent in same day funds an amount (so long as such amount is greater than zero) 

57

equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each Incremental Lender that shall not have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments shall pay to the Paying Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after the Paying Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Paying Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds (so long as such portion is greater than zero) that is equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments) multiplied by (2) the aggregate amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (and the Borrower shall deliver such Borrowing Request), (vi) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments) and (vii) the Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings.  The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.
(f)      The Paying Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Paying Agent of any notice from the Borrower referred to in Section 2.20(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof and of the Applicable Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect thereto and of the assignments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20(e). 
SECTION 2.21.  Extensions.  (a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time but not more than twice during the term of this Agreement, by written notice 

58

to the Paying Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), given not less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date at any time in effect, request (each, a “Maturity Date Extension Request”) that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional one-year period (each, an “Extension”); provided that after giving effect to any such Extension, the period of time remaining prior to the Maturity Date (as so extended) shall not exceed five years from the effective date of such Extension.  Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Paying Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Paying Agent’s receipt of the Maturity Date Extension Request, advise the Borrower and the Paying Agent whether or not it agrees to the requested Extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested Extension being called an “Extending Lender”, and each Lender declining to agree to a requested Extension being called a “Non-Extending Lender”).  Any Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Paying Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to the requested Extension and shall be a Non-Extending Lender.  If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a Maturity Date Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, solely as to the Extending Lenders, be extended by one year to the anniversary of the Maturity Date theretofore in effect.  The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Date Extension Request shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Revolving Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect to the applicable Extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”).  The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Non-Extending Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of such Non-Extending Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Commitments of, and all payments to, Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (i) no Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. 
(b)      An Extension shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Extending Lender and the Paying Agent; provided that no Extension Agreement shall become effective unless (i) at the time of effectiveness of such Extension and after giving effect thereto (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom and (B) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article III are true and correct in all material respects, in each case, on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case to the effect that such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects on and as of such prior date, and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Paying Agent (A) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower confirming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) above and (B) such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the 

59

documents delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.01) by the Paying Agent in connection therewith.  The Paying Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement.  Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Paying Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments of the Extending Lenders as the same Class as the existing Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments or as a new Class of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting and to enable such new Class of Loans and/or Commitments to be extended under this Section); provided that (i) the borrowing and repayment (except for repayments required upon the maturity and repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of the applicable Commitments) of Loans under the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments, (ii) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments of such new Class and the remaining Revolving Commitments (and the applicable Extension Agreement shall contain reallocation and cash collateralization provisions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent and the Borrower, with respect to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date) and (iii) the Revolving Availability Period and the Maturity Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank or Swingline Loans, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.  The Paying Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form and substance of any Extension Agreement, will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, to the extent such activities, business or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States, or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

SECTION 6.01.  Secured Indebtedness.  (a)The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed (hereinafter in this Section 6.01 referred to as “debt”) if such debt is secured by a deed of trust, mortgage, pledge, security interest or other lien or encumbrance (any deed of trust, mortgage, pledge, security interest or other lien or encumbrance being hereinafter in this Section 6.01(a) referred to as a “mortgage”) upon or with respect to any timber or timberlands of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary located in the States of Washington, Oregon, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, North Carolina, Georgia or Louisiana, or upon or with respect to any principal manufacturing plant (as defined in Section 6.01(b)) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary located anywhere in the United States of America, in either case now owned or hereafter acquired, without in any such case effectively providing, concurrently with the issuance, assumption or guarantee of any such debt, that the Loans and Letters of Credit (together with, if the Borrower shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of or guarantee by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the Loans or Letters of Credit and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such debt for so long as such debt is so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not be applicable to:
(i)    mortgages upon or with respect to any property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary securing debt to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary;
(ii)    mortgages upon or with respect to any property acquired, constructed or improved by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary which are created, incurred or assumed contemporaneously with, or within 180 days 

69

after, such acquisition or the completion of such construction or improvement, to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction or improvement, or mortgages upon or with respect to any property existing at the time of acquisition thereof by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that in the case of any such construction or improvement the mortgage shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary other than any property on which the property so constructed is located (including any related rights) or to which the improvement relates;
(iii)    any mortgage existing on any timber or timberlands of any Person or upon or with respect to any principal manufacturing plant of any Person at the time of acquisition by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person; and
(iv)    any extension, renewal or replacement of any mortgage referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) above; provided that the principal amount of debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and any fees, discount, premium and expenses relating to such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or part of the property subject, or that upon the acquisition thereof would have become subject, to the mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced.

(c)      For purposes of this Section 6.01, (i) the term “principal manufacturing plant” shall not include any manufacturing plant that, in the reasonable opinion of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, is not a principal

SECTION 6.02.  Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.

SECTION 6.03.  Merger, Consolidation and Other Fundamental Changes.  The Borrower will not merge or consolidate with or into any other Person, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its consolidated properties or assets to any Person in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, unless: (a) in the case of a merger or consolidation, the Borrower is the surviving or resulting Person or (b) (i) in the case of a merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting Person is or (ii) in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition, the transferee Person is, in either case, organized in the United States of America or any State thereof and shall expressly assume, pursuant to customary documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Administrative Agents, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whereupon such Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Borrower herein and, in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition, the Borrower shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
SECTION 6.04.  Funded Debt Ratio.  The Borrower will not permit Total Funded Indebtedness as of the last day of any Test Period to exceed 65% of the sum of Total Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity and Total Funded Indebtedness, in each case, as of the last day of such Test Period.

71

ARTICLE VIII
 The Agents
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints each of the entities named as the Paying Agent or a Co-Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve in such capacity under the Loan Documents, and authorizes each of the Agents to execute, deliver and administer the Loan Documents and to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   
The Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent (and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or “Issuing Bank” or “Issuing Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such Agent in its individual capacity), and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or any other Person that may do business with or own Equity Interests in the Borrower as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.
The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and shall not assume, or be deemed to have assumed, any relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent exercise (including in connection with any transaction contemplated by Section 2.20, 2.21 or 6.03) or that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or may expose it to liability, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and no Agent shall be liable for 

75

the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), which consent or request, as applicable, shall be binding upon all Lenders, or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment).  The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default” and stating the nature of the Default) is given to any Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the due execution, legality, sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness  or value of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than, in the case of any Agent, to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to such Agent.  
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof).  Each Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

76

Each Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.  No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
Subject to the terms of this paragraph, each Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such.  In connection with such resignation, such Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the other Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  Upon any such notice of resignation by any Co-Administrative Agent, the retiring Co-Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, without any other further act or deed on the part of such retiring Co-Administrative Agent or any other Person, and all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Co-Administrative Agents or any of them shall be vested solely in the remaining Co-Administrative Agent (or, if both of the Co-Administrative Agents shall have retired, in the Paying Agent).  Upon any such notice of resignation by the Paying Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (other than during the existence of an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII), which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Paying Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor, subject to the consent of the Borrower (other than during the existence of an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII), which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Paying Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Paying Agent, and the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Paying Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Paying Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Paying Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Paying Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the other Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Paying Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, without any other further act or deed on the part of such retiring Paying Agent or any other Person, and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed 

77

to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Paying Agent; provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Paying Agent for the account of any Person other than the Paying Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Paying Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank.  Following the effectiveness of any Co-Administrative Agent’s or the Paying Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub‐agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.
Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, any Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Arranger nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent shall have any duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Paying Agent, a Co-Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
The provisions of this Article (other than provisions of this Article providing the Borrower with a consent right, all of which shall also be for the benefit of the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrower shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

(b)      Notices and other communications to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including email and Internet and intranet websites); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender or Issuing Bank if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Paying Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  Any notices or other communications to the Co-Administrative Agents, the Paying Agent or the Borrower may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the recipient thereof prior thereto; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited or rescinded by any such Person by notice to each other such Person.
(c)      Any party hereto may change its address or email or fax number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
(d)      The Borrower agrees that the Agents may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communication by posting such Communication on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”.  Neither any Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by any Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall any Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmission of the Communications through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment); provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for special, indirect, 

80

consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of the foregoing.
SECTION 9.02.  Waivers; Amendments.  (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)      None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Paying Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents and the Borrower with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:
(i)    increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver, amendment or modification of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or of any covenant or Default shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender);
(ii)    reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that determination of the rate of interest in respect of the Swingline Loans as provided in Section 2.12(c), whether or not such rate as so determined would be less than the rate of interest applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans, shall not constitute a reduction of the rate of interest); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate or to change the amount of the default rate specified in Section 2.12(d);
(iii)    postpone the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount 

81

of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled final expiration date of any Commitment, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver, amendment or modification of any covenant or Default shall not constitute a postponement, waiver or excuse of any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts); provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate or to change the amount of the default rate specified in Section 2.12(d);
(iv)    change Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender; or
(v)    change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b), the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” may be amended to include references to any new Class of Loans or Commitments created under this Agreement (or to Lenders extending such Loans or Commitments) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Revolving Loans, Revolving Commitments or Lenders;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Co-Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Co-Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.
(c)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary:
(i)    any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended, without consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank (except as expressly set forth in such Sections), in the manner provided in Sections 2.05(j), 2.05(k), 2.20 and 2.21 or the definition of the term “LC Commitment”, and each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby expressly authorizes and directs the Paying Agent to enter into any such amendment;
(ii)    any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended (without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank) by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Co-Administrative 

82

Agents to cure any obvious error or any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(iii)    any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Co-Administrative Agents, the Paying Agent and the Borrower (A) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (B) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, provided that no Lender shall be obligated to commit to or hold any part of such credit facilities; and
(iv)    notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of (A) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of paragraph (b) of this Section and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification, or (B) in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in the first proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section, any Lender that receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification.
(d)      The Paying Agent or the Co-Administrative Agents, as the case may be, may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender.  Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.
SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a) Except as provided in Section 5.07, the Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses and travel expenses) incurred by each Co-Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing (which shall be limited to a single firm of primary counsel and, if reasonably determined by the Paying Agent to be reasonably necessary, a single firm 

83

of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any related documentation or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Co-Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing (which shall be limited to a single firm of primary counsel and, if reasonably determined by the Paying Agent to be reasonably necessary, a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, a single additional firm of counsel (or local counsel) for each group of affected parties that is similarly situated), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of‐pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b)      The Borrower shall indemnify each Co-Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Paying Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (which shall be limited to a single firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably determined by the Paying Agent to be reasonably necessary, a single firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole, and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, a single additional firm of counsel (or local counsel) for each group of affected Indemnitees that are similarly situated), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the structuring, arrangement and the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under 

84

a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), (y) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under the Loan Documents (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment) or (z) disputes solely between and among such Indemnitees to the extent such disputes do not arise from any act or omission of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates (other than with respect to a claim against an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as a Co-Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, an Arranger or any other titled role under the Loan Documents unless such claim arose from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under the Loan Documents (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment)).  If any Indemnitee shall have received any payment from the Borrower under this paragraph, such Indemnitee shall (and, in the case of any such Indemnitee that is not a party hereto, the Indemnitees that are party hereto and that are Related Parties thereof shall cause such Indemnitee to) refund all amounts received by it under this paragraph in excess of those to which it shall have been entitled under the terms of this paragraph.  This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
(c)      To the extent that the Borrower fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by it under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to any Co-Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Paying Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Co-Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Paying Agent, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against 

85

such Co-Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), the Paying Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Co-Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Paying Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.  For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposures and unused Commitments at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).
(d)      To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent such claims result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Parties or a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under the Loan Documents (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or other Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party, or any of their Affiliates or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, provided that nothing in this clause (ii) shall diminish obligations of the Borrower under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.
(e)      All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor, together with customary backup documentation in reasonable detail.
SECTION 9.04.  Successors and Assigns.  (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 any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as provided in Section 6.03, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Co-Administrative Agents, the Paying Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), any Arranger and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, 

86

the sub-agents of any Co-Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent and the Related Parties of any Co-Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank and any Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)      (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except that, in the case of any assignment and delegation to any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System, the Borrower may give or withhold its consent in its sole discretion) of:
(A)    the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or (2) if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII  has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment;
(B)    the Paying Agent; 
(C)    each Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of a Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure; and
(D)    the Swingline Lender, in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of a Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its Swingline Exposure.
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment 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 Paying Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Paying Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing;
(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

87

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Paying Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender, provided further that the Paying Agent may at its sole discretion waive such processing and recordation fee; and
(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Paying Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, 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 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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) of this Section.
(iv)    The Paying Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Banks 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 Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

88

(v)    Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an 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) and, if required under clause (C) of paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section, the processing and recordation fee, the Paying Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Paying Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Paying Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section, provides for an assignment and delegation to a Defaulting Lender or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Paying Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.  Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Paying Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Paying Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Paying Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee.  Any assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section shall not in any way constitute a novation, discharge, rescission, extinguishment or substitution of any Indebtedness or other obligation so assigned, and any Indebtedness or other obligation so assigned shall continue to be the same Indebtedness or other obligation and not a new Indebtedness or other obligation.
(c)      (1) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a Defaulting Lender or a natural person) (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) in the case of any participation to any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System, such Lender shall have received prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent to be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower), except that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, (B) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (C) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties 

89

hereto for the performance of such obligations and (D) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Banks 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.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement that requires the consent of each directly affected Lender pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) and directly adversely affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement may exist between such Lender and such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.16(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.  
(ii)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 

90

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 Agents (in each case, in their capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary, any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System that (A) has purchased a participation in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (B) is, by written notice to the Borrower and the Agents (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a Voting Participant hereunder (any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System so designated being called a “Voting Participant”), (C) receives the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent to be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower) to become a Voting Participant, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing and (D) receives the prior written consent of the Paying Agent to become a Voting Participant (to the extent such consent would be required pursuant to Section 9.04(b) if such transfer were an assignment rather than a sale of a participation), shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such Participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action.  To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (1) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and (2) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased.  The Borrower and the Agents shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph.
(d)      Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other 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.  

91

SECTION 9.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time this Agreement or any other Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facility provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Paying Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 9.03) and the other Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(f).  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that on the Maturity Date any Letter of Credit shall be a Backstopped Letter of Credit, then, unless on such date any unreimbursed LC Disbursement shall have been outstanding thereunder, such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 9.03) and the other Loan Documents and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(f).  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreement with respect to fees or the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof 

92

and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including any commitment advices delivered in connection with the credit facility established hereunder.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Co-Administrative Agents and the Co-Administrative Agents shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of all the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank, or by such an Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations the Borrower are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Agents promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 9.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
(b)      Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any 

93

thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and, notwithstanding the foregoing, may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c)      Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)      Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors on a need-to-know basis, it being understood 

94

that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section or be subject to a professional obligation of confidentiality (and such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be responsible for their compliance herewith), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which case (other than in the case of a bank audit), such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof to the extent lawfully permitted to do so and to the extent practicable under the circumstances), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall inform the Borrower promptly thereof to the extent lawfully permitted to do so and, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, prior to such disclosure), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facility provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Related Parties.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Related Parties relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of the Borrower and other than information pertaining to the terms of this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality agreement binding on any Agent or any Arranger, such parties may disclose Information as provided in this Section. 
SECTION 9.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, 

95

charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.14.  USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with such Act.
SECTION 9.15.  No Fiduciary Relationship.  The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.  The Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and  the Subsidiaries, and none of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  
SECTION 9.16.  Non-Public Information.  (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI.  Each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Agents that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

96

(b)      The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by the Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by any Agent through the Platform, (i) such Agent may post any information that the Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, such Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Private Side Lender Representatives.  The Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify all information provided to the Agents by or on behalf of the Borrower that is suitable to be made available to Public Side Lender Representatives, and the Agents shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Borrower without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof. 
SECTION 9.17.  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)      the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
(b)      the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

EXECUTION VERSION

CLAIM AGREEMENT

THIS CLAIM AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of March 6, 2017, and made by WEYERHAEUSER NR COMPANY, a Washington corporation (“WNR”), in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement dated as of March 6, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Weyerhaeuser Company, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-administrative agent and paying agent.

RECITALS

A.    WNR is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  WNR has agreed, as between the Company and WNR, to assume the payment obligations in respect of certain indebtedness of the Company pursuant to that certain Assumption Agreement dated as of January 1, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Assumption Agreement”), made by WNR in favor of the Company, and that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of October 1, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Assumption Agreement” and, together with the First Assumption Agreement and any Additional Assumption Agreement (as defined below), collectively, the “Assumption Agreements”), by and between WNR and the Company.

B.    It is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender to make their respective extensions of credit to the Company under the Credit Agreement that WNR enter into this Agreement with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, WNR hereby agrees with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties, as follows:

		
	SECTION 1.
	Definitions.

(a)    Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2

(b)    The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Additional Assumption Agreement” means any agreement entered into by WNR after the date hereof pursuant to which WNR assumes payment obligations in respect of any indebtedness of the Company.

“Assumed Debt” means any indebtedness of the Company the payment obligations in respect of which shall have been assumed by WNR pursuant to one or more Assumption Agreements.

“Assumed Debt Agreement” means any indenture, credit agreement, note purchase agreement or other agreement, if any, pursuant to which the Company has incurred or will incur Assumed Debt and any note, instrument, agreement or other document evidencing or governing such Assumed Debt.

“Assumed Debt Claims” has the meaning specified in Section 2(a) hereof.

“Assumed Debt Party” means any Person to which Assumed Debt is owed and any trustee for, or other representative of, the holders of such Assumed Debt under any Assumed Debt Agreement.

“Credit Agreement Claims” has the meaning specified in Section 2(a) hereof.

“Credit Agreement Obligations” means the due and punctual payment by the Company of (a) the principal of and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans made to the Company, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (b) each payment required to be made by the Company under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral, and (c) all other monetary obligations of the Company to any of the Credit Agreement Parties under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including obligations to pay fees, expense reimbursement obligations and indemnification obligations, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding).

“Credit Agreement Parties” means (a) the Lenders, (b) the Co-Administrative Agents, (c) the Paying Agent, (d) the Issuing Banks, (e) the Swingline Lender, (f) the beneficiaries of each indemnification obligation undertaken by the Company under the Credit Agreement and (g) the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.

3

“Pro Rata Claim Amount” at any time means, in respect of the Credit Agreement Claim of any Credit Agreement Party, an amount equal to (a) the Credit Agreement Obligations owing to such Credit Agreement Party at such time, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Assumed Debt (including accrued and unpaid interest and any related obligations in respect of premiums, fees and indemnities) owing at such time in respect of which Assumed Debt Claims exist and the denominator of which is the total amount of Assumed Debt (including accrued and unpaid interest and any related obligations in respect of premiums, fees and indemnities) owing at such time.

		
	SECTION 2.
	Credit Agreement Claims.

(a)    WNR hereby agrees with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties, that the Credit Agreement Parties shall have rights and claims enforceable against WNR for payment of all or a portion of the Credit Agreement Obligations to the same extent that the Assumed Debt Parties (as opposed to the Company) have rights and claims, if any, enforceable against WNR for payment of all or any portion of the Assumed Debt (including accrued and unpaid interest and any related obligations in respect of premiums, fees and indemnities) pursuant to or by reason of any Assumption Agreement (such rights and claims of the Assumed Debt Parties, the “Assumed Debt Claims”), as if WNR and the Company had entered into an assumption agreement in respect of the Credit Agreement Obligations on the same terms as such Assumption Agreement that is the subject of the Assumed Debt Claims (such rights and claims of the Credit Agreement Parties, the “Credit Agreement Claims”).  It is understood and agreed that (i) if the Credit Agreement Parties have Credit Agreement Claims by reason of one or more, whether in whole or in part, but less than all, of the Assumed Debt being subject to Assumed Debt Claims, then the Credit Agreement Claims of any Credit Agreement Party shall be limited to its Pro Rata Claim Amount, and (ii) WNR shall be fully liable for any such Credit Agreement Claims subject only to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement.  Any Credit Agreement Claims due and owing by WNR hereunder shall be payable by WNR to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties.

(b)    The determination of whether any Assumed Debt Claim exists shall be based solely upon the successful assertion by the applicable Assumed Debt Parties of such Assumed Debt Claim, and the Credit Agreement Parties shall not be permitted to assert that an Assumed Debt Claim exists unless and until such Assumed Debt Claim is successfully asserted by the applicable Assumed Debt Parties; provided that, if any Assumed Debt Party asserts an Assumed Debt Claim, the foregoing shall not be construed to prevent the assertion that a Credit Agreement Claim exists if such assertion of an Assumed Debt Claim is successful.

For purposes of this Section 2(b), an Assumed Debt Claim shall be considered “successfully asserted” or shall be viewed as the subject to “successful assertion” upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(i)    an express agreement, stipulation, settlement or acknowledgment by WNR that (A) acknowledges liability of WNR directly to any Assumed Debt Party 

4

in respect of such Assumed Debt Claim or (B) provides consideration from WNR to any Assumed Debt Party as a result of such Assumed Debt Claim or in exchange for an agreement, stipulation, settlement or acknowledgment that such Assumed Debt Party has no, or will not assert any, Assumed Debt Claims; 

(ii)    at any time after the commitments under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated as a result of the occurrence of an event of default thereunder and the Credit Agreement Obligations shall have become due and payable, any subsequent action that has the effect of treating such Assumed Debt Claim in a manner, or results in a recovery to the holders of such Assumed Debt Claim in respect of their Assumed Debt Claim, in each case as a result of the applicable Assumed Debt Agreement, that is more favorable than the treatment of, or recovery in respect of, Credit Agreement Claims (unless the holders of such Credit Agreement Claims are offered and decline such treatment or recovery), including, but not limited to payment or grant of securities to any Assumed Debt Party or the assumption of any Assumed Debt by any third party; or 

(iii)    a final adjudication by a court or arbitrator that WNR is liable to any Assumed Debt Party for such Assumed Debt Claim.

(c)    WNR acknowledges and agrees that no occurrence or circumstance occurring after the date of this Agreement shall cause a reduction in WNR’s obligations to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties, under this Agreement, other than (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof or (ii) the payment by WNR in cash of any Credit Agreement Claims due and owing by WNR hereunder.

		
	SECTION 3.
	Obligations Absolute.

WNR’s obligations under this Agreement shall in all respects be continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Credit Agreement Obligations (other than contingent expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations) have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit are outstanding (other than Letters of Credit for which cash collateralization or other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank have been provided) and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated.  WNR agrees that any Credit Agreement Claims due and owing by WNR hereunder will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Company or WNR with respect thereto.  The liability of WNR under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

(a)    any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, the Credit Agreement Obligations, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other extension, compromise or renewal of the Credit Agreement Obligations;

5

(b)    any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of the Credit Agreement Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and WNR hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, the Credit Agreement Obligations;

(c)    any amendment to, rescission, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(d)    any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any guaranty, securing any of the Credit Agreement Obligations; or

(e)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Company or WNR.

		
	SECTION 4.
	Continued Liability.

Notwithstanding the agreements by WNR in respect of the Credit Agreement Claims pursuant to Section 2(a), as between the Company and the holders of any Credit Agreement Obligations, the Company shall continue to be the primary obligor with respect to the Credit Agreement Obligations and the Company shall not be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement Obligations as a result of this Agreement.  In no event shall this Agreement be construed to constitute an assignment or transfer of any of the rights or obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

		
	SECTION 5.
	Representations and Warranties.

WNR represents, warrants and affirms for the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties as follows:

(a)    WNR is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Washington with all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to conduct its business as proposed to be conducted and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)    This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of WNR, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

6

		
	SECTION 6.
	Binding Effect, Etc.

This Agreement shall be binding upon WNR and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Credit Agreement Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that (a) WNR may not assign any of its obligations or rights under this Agreement and (b) only the Paying Agent may enforce the rights of the Credit Agreement Parties hereunder.  Each of the Credit Agreement Parties is an intended beneficiary of the obligations of WNR under this Agreement and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to commence and pursue any action or proceeding against WNR with respect to WNR’s obligations under this Agreement.

		
	SECTION 7.
	Amendments; Termination.

This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, modified or terminated without the prior written consent of the Paying Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), WNR and the Company; provided that this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the payment in full of all Credit Agreement Obligations (other than contingent expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations), the termination of any Letters of Credit then outstanding (other than Letters of Credit for which cash collateralization or other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank have been provided) and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement.

		
	SECTION 8.
	Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

		
	SECTION 9.
	Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7

		
	SECTION 10.
	Reinstatement.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time (a) payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Credit Agreement Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Credit Agreement Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made or (b) (i) Credit Agreement Obligations remain outstanding and (ii) WNR enters into an Assumption Agreement in respect of Assumed Debt after this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

		
	SECTION 11.
	Headings.

Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

		
	SECTION 12.
	No Waiver; Remedies.

No failure on the part of the Paying Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

3.3    Certificates.
(a)    The Company may (but shall not be required to), in the discretion of the Managing Member, issue one or more certificates to the Members to evidence the Units in the forms attached as Annex B (each, a “Membership Certificate”). Each certificate representing a Unit shall (i) be signed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company and (ii) set forth the number of such Units represented thereby. In case the Officer of the Company who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such Membership Certificate shall have ceased to be an Officer of the Company before such Membership Certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such person were an Officer of the Company at the time of its issue. The Membership Certificate shall contain a legend with respect to applicable restrictions on transfer. 
(b)    The Company shall issue a new Membership Certificate in place of any Membership Certificate previously issued if the holder of the Units in the Company represented by such Membership Certificate, as reflected on the books and records of the Company:
(i)    makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such previously issued Membership Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed;

17

(ii)    requests the issuance of a new Membership Certificate before the Company has notice that such previously issued Membership Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;
(iii)    if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with such surety or sureties as the Company may direct, to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the previously issued Membership Certificate; and
(iv)    satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company.
(c)    Each Unit in the Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “PAUCC”) (including Section 8102(a)), and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the PAUCC, such provision of Article 8 of the PAUCC shall be controlling. Any Membership Certificate evidencing Units shall bear the legend referencing Article 8 of the PAUCC set forth on Annex B hereto. No change to this provision or that legend shall be effective until all outstanding Membership Certificates have been surrendered for cancellation and reissuance.

3.4    Adjustments. In the event of a dividend, split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, interest exchange, division, combination, exchange of all or any class of Units of the Company, liquidation, spin-off, or other change in organizational structure affecting the Units (including any conversion of the Company to a corporation, whether by merger, filing of a statement of conversion or otherwise), the number and class of Units shall be appropriately adjusted for the benefit of Members by the Managing Member.

3.5    Authorization and Issuance of Additional Units.
(a)    The Company shall have the authority to issue an unlimited number of Units.
(b)    The Managing Member is authorized to (i) issue additional Units, (ii) create additional classes of Units, (iii) subdivide the Units of any such class into one or more series, (iv) fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the Units of each such class or series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and (v) subject to Article 13, 

18

amend this Agreement to reflect such actions and the resulting designations, powers, and relative preferences and rights of all the classes and series thereafter authorized under this Agreement.
(c)    The authority of the Managing Member with respect to each such class and series created in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall include establishing the following: (i) the number of Units or securities constituting that class or series and the distinctive designation thereof, (ii) whether or not the Units or securities of such class or series shall be redeemable, and if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable and the amount per Unit or security payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates, (iii) the rights and preferences of the Units or securities of that class or series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, (iv) the relative rights of priority, if any, of allocations of income or loss or of payment with respect to Units or securities of that class or series and (v) any other relative rights, preferences and limitation of that class or series.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, however: following the IPO and the consummation of the transactions described above in Section 3.2, no additional Class B Units or Class C Units shall be issued by the Company, except in connection with issuances permitted by Sections 3.4 and 3.7 below, and Class A Units may be issued only to HLI in accordance with Sections 3.5(e) and (f).
(e)    If, following the IPO, HLI issues shares of Class A Common Stock (other than an issuance of the type covered by Section 3.5(f) or pursuant to the Exchange Agreement), unless such net proceeds are used to purchase Units from Members, HLI shall promptly contribute to the Company all the net proceeds and property (if any) received by HLI with respect to such Class A Common Stock. Upon the contribution by HLI to the Company of all (but not less than all) of such net proceeds and property (if any) so received by HLI, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to issue a number of Class A Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issued, registered in the name of HLI, such that, at all times, the number of Class A Units held by HLI equals the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. 
(f)    At any time that HLI issues one or more shares of Class A Common Stock under the Equity Incentive Plan or any other equity incentive program, whether such share or shares are issued upon exercise (including cashless exercise) of an option, settlement of a restricted stock unit, as restricted stock or otherwise, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to issue to HLI an equal number of Class A Units, registered in the name of HLI; provided that HLI shall be required to contribute all (but not less than all) the net proceeds and property (if any) received by HLI from or otherwise in connection with such issuance of one or more shares of Class A Common Stock, including the exercise price of any option exercised, to 

19

the Company. If any such shares of Class A Common Stock so issued by HLI in connection with an equity incentive program are subject to vesting or forfeiture provisions, then the Class A Units that are issued by the Company to HLI in connection therewith in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 3.5(f) shall be subject to vesting or forfeiture on the same basis; if any of such shares of Class A Common Stock vest or are forfeited, then an equal number of Units issued by the Company in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 3.5(f) shall automatically vest or be forfeited. Any cash or property held by either HLI or the Company or on either’s behalf in respect of dividends paid on restricted Class A Common Stock that fail to vest shall be returned to the Company upon the forfeiture of such restricted Class A Common Stock.

3.6    Repurchase of Class A Common Stock. If, at any time, any shares of Class A Common Stock are repurchased (whether by exercise of a put or call, pursuant to an open market purchase, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by HLI for cash or other consideration and subsequently cancelled or retired, then the Managing Member shall cause the Company, immediately prior to such repurchase of Class A Common Stock, to redeem an equal number of Class A Units held by HLI, at an aggregate redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Class A Common Stock being repurchased by HLI (plus any expenses related thereto) and upon such other terms as are the same for the Class A Common Stock being cancelled or retired by HLI.

3.7    Changes in Common Stock. Any subdivision (by stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of (a) Class A Common Stock shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Units to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class A Units owned by HLI and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or (b) Class B Common Stock shall be accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class B Units to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class B Units and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. Any corrective action to maintain such ratios shall not be subject to a corresponding adjustment that would render the corrective action ineffective.

ARTICLE 4.      CAPITAL; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

4.1    Capital Contributions. Except as expressly provided in Section 3.5(d) and Section 3.5(f) with respect to the Managing Member and in the Exchange Agreement, no Member shall be required to make any Capital Contributions without such Member’s consent.

4.2    No Interest on Capital Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to interest on or with respect to any Capital Contribution.

20

4.3    Withdrawal and Return of Capital Contributions. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Contribution or to receive distributions from the Company.

4.4    Capital Accounts.
(a)    A separate Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member on the books of the Company, and adjustments to such Capital Accounts shall be made as follows:
(i)    A Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with any amounts of cash contributed by the Member to the Company, the Fair Market Value of any other property contributed to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code section 752), the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by the Member (other than liabilities that are secured by any Company property distributed to such Member), and the Member’s allocable share of any Net Income and items of income or gain allocated to that Member; and
(ii)    A Member’s Capital Account shall be debited with the amount of cash distributed to the Member, the Fair Market Value of other Company property distributed to the Member (net of liabilities secured by such property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code section 752), the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company (other than liabilities that are secured by property contributed by such Members), and the Member’s allocable share of Net Losses and items of loss, expense, or deduction allocated to that Member.
(b)    In connection with the issuance of Units to HLI in exchange for cash as of the Effective Date, the Capital Accounts of the existing Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).
(c)    The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 and Section 5.1 through Section 5.2 are intended to comply with section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. If the Managing Member, with the advice of the Company’s tax advisors, shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are computed in order to comply with section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations, the Managing Member may make such modification to the minimum extent necessary; provided that the Members are notified in writing of such modification prior to its effective date; provided, further, that the Managing Member shall have no liability to any Member for any exercise of or failure to exercise any such discretion to make any modifications permitted under this Section 4.4.

21

ARTICLE 5.      ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME AND NET LOSS

5.1    Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, the Net Income or Net Loss (and items thereof) for each Taxable Year (or other applicable period) shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the amount of the distribution that would be made to such Member if, as of the close of business on the final day of such Taxable Year (or other applicable period), (i) the Company were dissolved and terminated, (ii) its affairs were wound-up and each asset of the Company were sold for cash equal to its Gross Asset Value, (iii) all Company liabilities are satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the book value of the asset(s) securing such liability), and (iv) the net assets of the Company were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 6.1.

5.2    Special Allocations.
(a)    Losses, deduction and expenditures attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated in the manner required by Regulations section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Taxable Year in Member Minimum Gain, income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as is determined according to Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4). The preceding sentence is intended to be a “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(a), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be allocated income and gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Taxable Years) in the amounts and of such character as is determined according to Regulations section 1.704-2(f). This Section 5.2(b) is intended to be a “minimum gain chargeback” provision that complies with the requirements of Regulations section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
(c)    If any Member that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) has a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the application of Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b) but before the application of any other provision of Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, then income and gain for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such deficit balance. This Section 5.2(c) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

22

(d)    “Nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Regulation sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and (c)) shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(e)    No Net Loss (or items thereof) shall be allocated to a Member to the extent such allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of such Member. Instead, such Net Loss (and items thereof) shall be allocated among the other Members that have positive account balances in the same ratios that such other Members are allocated Net Loss for such year under Section 5.1 until all such positive balances have been reduced to zero.
(f)    The adjustments described in clause (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
(g)    The allocations set forth in Section 5.2(a) through Section 5.2(f) inclusive (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of section 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to allocate Net Income and Net Loss of the Company or to make Distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, items of Net Income and Net Loss of the Company shall be allocated among the Members so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Account balances of the Members to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Net Income and Net Loss had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Members anticipate that this shall be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Income and Net Loss among the Members so that the net amount of Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero.

5.3    Allocations for Income Tax Purposes. The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company for any Taxable Year shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as Net Income and Net Loss were allocated to the Members for such Taxable Year pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2; provided, however, that solely for Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and not for book or Capital Account purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company asset with a Gross Asset Value other than the tax basis of such Company asset (other than a Company asset that is a partnership interest for Federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated for Federal, state and local income tax purposes in accordance with the “traditional method with curative allocations” described in section 1.704-3(c) of the Regulations, but with curative allocations limited to curative allocations of gain from the sale or other disposition of each such asset; and provided, further, that, with respect to each Company asset that is a partnership interest for Federal income tax purposes, the method 

23

applied upon a disposition of such partnership interest shall, in the discretion of the Managing Member, be the “remedial allocation method” described in section 1.704-3(d) of the Regulations. 

5.4    Tax Withholding and Entity-Level Taxes. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment or distribution to a Member will be treated as amounts distributed to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement.  In the event that the Company incurs any withholding tax or other liability for tax, interest or penalties with respect to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit allocated to any Member (including, but not limited to, any amount payable by the Company pursuant to an adjustment under Code section 6225), such Member shall be required promptly to reimburse the Company for such amount to the extent that the Company does not recoup the amount by offsetting it against amounts otherwise distributable to such Member; the obligations of any Person under this sentence with respect to any Taxable Year during which such Person is a Member shall survive any withdrawal of such Person from being a Member in the Company, any Transfer of such Person’s Units and any termination, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.

5.5    Allocations to Transferred Interests. 
(a)    If any Units in the Company are Transferred, increased or decreased during a Taxable Year, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for such Taxable Year shall be allocated among the Members to take into account their varying interests during the Taxable Year in any manner approved by the Managing Member, as then permitted by the Code.
(b)    Solely for purposes of allocating income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company as set forth in Section 5.5(a) and for the purposes of accruing and making tax distributions pursuant to Section 6.4, the Company shall recognize the Transfer of such Unit as of the date on which the Transfer was legally effective, except that, if the Transferor has not advised the Company in writing of and provided all such documentation regarding the Transfer as the Company may reasonably require, then all of such items shall be allocated, and all distributions shall be made, to the Person who, according to the books and records of the Company on the last day of the accounting period during which the Transfer occurs, was the owner of the Unit. The Managing Member shall incur no liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5(b), whether or not the Managing Member or the Company has knowledge of any Transfer of ownership of any Unit. Should the Company receive the requisite written notice and documentation after a Transfer has occurred, all such allocations and distributions shall be made as of the last day of the month in which the receipt occurred.

24

ARTICLE 6.      DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1    Distributions. Distributions shall be made to the Members, as and when determined by the Managing Member, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Except (i) for pro rata distributions to its Members in accordance with Section 6.1 through Section 6.3, (ii) for tax distributions in accordance with Section 6.4 or (iii) as authorized by written consent of each Member, the Company shall not make, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to make, any distributions (in cash or in kind), dividend payments or asset transfers to any Member or any direct or indirect equity holder of any Member.

6.2    Successors. For purposes of determining the amount of Distributions, each Member shall be treated as having made the Capital Contributions and as having received the Distributions made to or received by its predecessors in respect of any of such Member’s Units.

6.3    Distributions In-Kind. To the extent that the Company makes pro rata distributions of property in-kind to the Members, the Company shall be treated as making a Distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for purposes of Section 6.1 and such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value. Any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in accordance with Article 5.

6.4    Tax Distributions.
 (a)      Subject to the limitations set forth in any indenture or other credit, or other financing and warehousing or similar agreement governing indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as soon as practicable following the end of each Quarterly Estimated Tax Period of each Taxable Year, the Company shall, to the extent of available cash of the Company, make a distribution in cash (each, a “ Tax Distribution ”), pro rata in accordance with the Percentage Interests in effect on the date of such Tax Distribution, in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the excess of (i) the product of (x) the taxable income of the Company attributable to such period and all prior Quarterly Estimated Tax Periods in such Taxable Year, based upon (I) the information returns filed by the Company, as amended or adjusted to date, and (II) estimated amounts, in the case of periods for which the Company has not yet filed information returns (determined by disregarding any adjustment to the taxable income of any Member that arises under Code section 743(b) and is attributable to the acquisition by such Member of an interest in the Company in a transaction described in Code section 743(a)), multiplied by (y) the Assumed Tax Rate, over (ii) the aggregate amount of distributions made by the Company with respect to such Taxable Year (treating any Tax Distribution made with respect to income for such Taxable Year, regardless of when made, and any distribution other than a Tax  

25

 Distribution made during such Taxable Year, as being made with respect to such Taxable Year) or (2) the amount necessary when paid to all the Members pro rata that will result in a payment to HLI sufficient to enable HLI to pay its actual tax liabilities (including estimated taxes) and all its other expenses and liabilities (including, but not limited to, its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement).  In the case of the second and third Quarterly Estimated Tax Periods of each Taxable Year, the amount otherwise distributable under this  Section 6.4(a)  shall be adjusted upwards to the extent necessary to take into account the applicable formula for calculating estimated tax payments required with respect thereto. 
(b)    If, at any time after the end of a U.S. federal income tax year of the Company, the Company has a positive True-Up Amount, then subject to the limitations set forth in any indenture or other credit, or other financing and warehousing or similar agreement governing indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company shall, to the extent of available cash of the Company, make a Tax Distribution in an amount equal to the True-Up Amount pro rata in accordance with the Percentage Interests in effect on the date of such Tax Distribution.  Any negative True-Up Amount for a Taxable Year shall be treated as a Tax Distribution for the following Taxable Year.

ARTICLE 7.      BOOKS OF ACCOUNT, RECORDS AND REPORTS, TAXABLE YEAR, TAX MATTERS

7.1    Books and Records. 
(a)    Records and books of account shall be kept by the Company in which shall be entered fully and accurately all transactions and other matters relative to the Company’s business as are customarily entered into records and books of account maintained by Persons engaged in businesses of a like character, including the Capital Account established for each Member. The Company’s books and records shall be kept in a manner determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion. The books and records shall at all times be maintained at the principal office of the Company and shall be open to the inspection and examination of the Members or their duly authorized representatives for a proper purpose during reasonable business hours and at the sole cost and expense of the inspecting or examining Member.
(b)    In addition to and not in limitation of Section 7.1(a), the Company shall maintain at its principal place of business the following:
(i)    a current list of the full names and last known business address of each Member;
(ii)    a copy of the Company’s certificate of organization and all amendments thereto;

26

(iii)    a copy of this Operating Agreement and all amendments hereto;
(iv)    copies of any federal, state and local income tax returns and reports of the Company for the three most recent years; and
(v)    copies of all financial statements of the Company for the three most recent years.
(c)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Member shall have the right, exercisable upon written demand, to examine the items described in Section 7.1(b) during ordinary business hours and for any purpose reasonably related to the Member’s Interest in the Company (which purpose must be stated in the written demand), and shall have the right, at its own expense, to make copies of all such items.

7.2    Annual Reports. The Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Federal, state and local tax returns that the Company is required to file. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send to each Person who was a Member at any time during each Taxable Year a copy of Schedule K-1 to Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 (or any successor form) indicating such Member’s share of the Company’s income, loss, gain, expense and other items relevant for Federal income tax purposes and corresponding analogous state and local tax forms as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such Taxable Year.

7.3    Tax Elections. The Company shall make on the first U.S. federal income tax return due after the date hereof, and keep in effect, a valid election under Code section 754. The Managing Member shall have the authority to make any and all other tax elections and other decisions relating to tax matters for Federal, state and local purposes.

7.4    Taxable Year. The taxable year of the Company (the “Taxable Year”) shall be the calendar year (unless a different year-end becomes required for federal income tax purposes); provided, however, that the last Taxable Year of the Company shall end on the date on which the Company is terminated.

7.5    Tax Matters Partner. For purposes of Code section 6231(a)(7) as in effect prior to the enactment of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 and Code section 6223(a) as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, the Company and each Member hereby designate HLI as the “tax matters partner” and the “partnership representative,” respectively (collectively, the “Tax Matters Partner”). The Managing Member may remove or replace the Tax Matters Partner at any time and from time to time. The Tax Matters Partner is specifically directed and authorized to take whatever steps may be necessary or desirable to perfect such designation, including filing any forms or documents with the Internal Revenue Service and taking such other action as may from time to time be required under the Regulations. The Company shall indemnify and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Tax Matters Partner for all expenses (including legal and 

27

accounting fees) incurred as Tax Matters Partner while acting in good faith pursuant to this Section 7.5.

ARTICLE 8.      POWERS, RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE MEMBERS

8.1    Limitations. 
(a)    Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, (i) no Member (except for the Managing Member acting in his, her, or its capacity as such) shall participate in or have any control over the management, operations, or business of the Company; (ii) the ownership of Units, other Capital Stock in the Company, or the fact of a Member’s admission as a Member of the Company shall not confer any rights to participate in the management of the affairs of the Company; (iii) no Member other than the Managing Member shall have any right to approve or otherwise consent to any matter involving the Company, including with respect to any merger, consolidation, combination, division or conversion of the Company, or any other matter that a Member might otherwise have the ability to vote or consent with respect to under the Act, at law, in equity or otherwise; (iv) no Member other than the Managing Member (acting in his, her, or its capacity as such) shall have the power to transact business for the Company, any right, authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Company or assume any obligation or responsibility of the Company or of any other Member; and (v) no Member other than the Managing Member (acting in his, her or its capacity as such) shall hold himself out as a general agent of the Company or the other Members in any business, activity or enterprise other than that of the Company.

8.2    Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member.

ARTICLE 9.      MANAGEMENT

9.1    The Managing Member; Delegation of Authority and Duties.
(a)    Managing Member. HLI shall be and is hereby designated as the Managing Member.
(b)    Authority of Managing Member. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the sole, absolute and exclusive direction of the Managing Member, the conduct, control and management of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Managing Member, and in all matters relating to or arising out of the conduct of the operation of the Company, the decision of the Managing Member shall be the decision of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1(a) and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member shall have the sole power to manage or cause the management of the Company, including, without limitation, the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, but not limited to, the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the division, conversion or domestication of the Company, or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity.

The Managing Member may file or cause to be filed for recordation in the office of the appropriate authorities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and in the proper office or offices in each other jurisdiction in which the Company is formed or qualified, such certificates or as are required to reflect the authority of the 

29

Managing Member, the identity of the Members and the amounts of their respective capital contributions.
(d)    Investment Company Act. The Managing Member shall use its best efforts to assure that the Company shall not be subject to registration as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(e)    Fiduciary Obligations. Each Member acknowledges that the Company is a subsidiary of the Managing Member and that each Member holding Class B Units or Class C Units has the right pursuant to the Exchange Agreement to exchange those Units for Class A Common Stock of the Managing Member.  Therefore, it is expressly intended by the Members (i) that none of the Managing Member, its directors or officers, or the officers of the Company shall have fiduciary or other duties to the Company or any of its Members that are separate and apart or different from those duties that it, she or he may have to the Managing Member and its stockholders; (ii) that any duty of care that any of them may have to the Company or its Members shall be deemed fulfilled if that duty has been fulfilled with respect to the Managing Member and its stockholders; (iii) that the Managing Member shall not be obligated to (x) present any particular business opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of a character that could be undertaken by the Company or is within the purposes of the Company, or (y) refrain from entering into any transaction with the Company, even if such a transaction is not on arms-length terms or otherwise fair to the Company considered in isolation; and (iv) that all actions taken or not taken by the Managing Member, any of its directors or officers, or any officer of the Company shall be presumed to have been taken in good faith unless it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that, at the time of taking or not taking such action, the action or inaction, was not believed by the Managing Member, or the relevant director or officer, as the case may be, to be not in the best interest of the Managing Member and its stockholders.
(f)    None of the Managing Member, any of its directors or officers, any officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company or the Members for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as the Managing Member, except for liability (A) under criminal laws and under federal, state, and local laws, if any, imposing liability on the Managing Member for payment of taxes or (B) for any action or inaction that constitutes fraud, willful misconduct or recklessness.
(g)    No amendment or repeal of this Section shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Person who is or was a Managing Member (or a director or officer of either the Managing Member or the Company) for or with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment or repeal.  If the Act is amended to permit a Pennsylvania limited liability company to provide greater protection from personal liability for its managing member, than the express terms of this Section, this Section shall be construed to provide for such greater protection.

30

(h)    This Section 9.1 shall constitute an election, from and after February 21, 2017, to vary the standards of conduct otherwise applicable to the Managing Member of a Pennsylvania limited liability company, pursuant to Sections 8815 and 8849.2 of the Act.

9.2    Officers.
(a)    Delegation by Managing Member. The Managing Member shall have the power and authority to delegate to one or more other Persons the Managing Member’s rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company, including to delegate to agents and employees of the Managing Member or the Company, and to delegate by a management agreement or another agreement with, or otherwise to, other Persons. The Managing Member may authorize any Person (including any Member or Officer of the Company or the Managing Member) to enter into and perform any agreement on behalf of the Company.
(b)    Designation and Appointment. The Managing Member may, from time to time, employ and retain Persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business, including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Member) who may be designated as officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and, collectively, “Officers”), with such titles as and to the extent authorized by the Managing Member. Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. In its discretion, the Managing Member may choose not to fill any office for any period as it may deem advisable. Officers need not be residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or Members. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Managing Member may from time to time delegate to them. The Managing Member may assign titles to particular Officers. Each Officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Managing Member. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create any contractual or employment rights.
(c)    Resignation and Removal. Any Officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Managing Member. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause at any time by the Managing Member.

9.3    Indemnification of the Managing Member, Officers and Agents.
(a)    The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Managing Member, its Affiliates, its directors and officers, the officers of the Company, and the former and 

31

current directors, officers, agents, consultants, and employees of the Company, (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any loss, claim, demand, dispute, controversy, expense, damage or injury, judgment or liability suffered or sustained by them, by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of their activities on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company, including any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of, or participation as a witness in, any actual or threatened action, proceeding, investigation or claim, including an action by or in the right of the Company, if the acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions upon which such actual or threatened action, proceeding or claims are based were not a result of fraud, recklessness or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Party. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall only be from the assets of the Company and the proceeds of insurance maintained by or for the benefit of the Company.
(b)    Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Party in a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided that if an Indemnified Party is advanced such expenses and it is later determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, then such Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Company for such advances.
(c)    No amendment, modification or deletion of this Section 9.3 shall apply to or have any effect on the right of any Indemnified Party to indemnification for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party occurring prior to such amendment, modification or deletion.

9.4    Certain Costs and Expenses. The Company shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of the Company (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals and the compensation of all personnel providing services to the Company) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, the activities of the Company and (ii) the Company shall pay or reimburse the Managing Member for (A) all costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Managing Member in connection with the IPO, other than the payment obligations of the Managing Member under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the income, franchise (except as provided in this Section 9.4) or similar tax obligations of the Managing Member, and (B) all costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Managing Member in connection with serving as the Managing Member. To the extent that the Managing Member determines in good faith that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and that also relate to other activities of the Managing Member), the Managing Member may cause the Company to pay or bear all expenses of the Managing Member, including costs of securities offerings not borne directly by Members, 

32

compensation and meeting costs of the board of directors of the Managing Member, costs relating to periodic reports to stockholders of the Managing Member, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs incurred by the Managing Member and franchise taxes arising from the existing or business activities of the Managing Member, provided that the Company shall not pay or bear any income or similar tax obligations of the Managing Member.

9.5    Insurance.  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance with such limits or coverages as the Managing Member reasonably deems appropriate, at the expense of the Company and to the extent available, for the protection of any officer, director, employee, agent, or representative of the Managing Member or the Company against any liability incurred by such Person in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify such Person against such liability.  Any amounts payable by the Company to any Person indemnified pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.3 above shall be payable first from the proceeds of any insurance recovery pursuant to policies purchased by or on behalf of the Company and then from the other assets of the Company; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the Company’s obligation to advance expenses pursuant to Section 9.3(b) hereof in circumstances in which the insurance company issuing any policy purchased by the Company will not advance such expenses.  

ARTICLE 10.      TRANSFERS OF INTEREST BY MEMBERS

10.1    Restrictions on Transfers of Interests by Members. No Member may sell, assign, pledge or in any manner dispose of or create or suffer the creation of a security interest in or any encumbrance (it being agreed that no provision under the Exchange Agreement shall constitute an encumbrance for purposes hereof) on all or a portion of its Interest in the Company (the commission of any such act being referred to as a “Transfer,” any Person who effects a Transfer being referred to as a “Transferor” and any Person to whom a Transfer is effected being referred to as a “Transferee”) except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 10. No Transfer of an Interest in the Company shall be effective until such time as all requirements of this Article 10 in respect thereof have been satisfied and, if consents, approvals or waivers are required under this Agreement by the Managing Member, all of the same shall have been confirmed in writing by the Managing Member. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of an Interest in the Company not made in accordance with this Agreement (a “Void Transfer”) shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. Any amounts otherwise distributable under Article 6 in respect of an Interest in the Company that has been the subject of a Void Transfer may be withheld by the Company until the Void Transfer has been rescinded, whereupon the amount withheld (after reduction by any damages suffered by the Company attributable to such Void Transfer) shall be distributed without interest to the rightful holder of such Interest.

33

10.2    Transfer of Interest of Members.
(a)    A Member may not Transfer all or any portion of its Interest in the Company to any Person without the consent of the Managing Member (which consent shall be given or withheld on the sole discretion of the Managing Member); provided that, subject to Section 10.3, a Member may, without the consent of the Managing Member or any other Member, Transfer all or a portion of its Interest in the Company (i) in a Permitted Transfer or (ii) pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.
(b)    For purposes of this Agreement, a “Permitted Transfer” means the following:
(i)    for any Member that is a natural person, a Transfer, whether inter vivos or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, of all or any portion of his or her Interest to (A) his or her spouse, (B) his or her lineal descendants (including adopted children and the children of such spouse), (C) any trust for the benefit of the Member or any Person listed in (A) or (B), or (D) any grantor-controlled family charity, provided that, in each case (A) through (D), the Member or the Member’s personal representative provides prior written notice describing such Transfer to the Company;
(ii)    for any Member that is not a natural person, a Transfer of all or any portion of its Interest to an Affiliate of, or owner of an equity interest in, such Member (including any distribution by such Member to its members, partners or shareholders (the “Member’s Owners”) or any redemption of the interests in such Member held by one or more of the Member’s Owners, and any related distributions or redemptions by the Member’s Owners to their respective members, partners or shareholders), provided that, in each case, the Member provides prior written notice describing such Transfer to the Company. For clarity, the Management LLC Members are the Member’s Owners of Management LLC; or
(iii)    a Transfer permitted under Section 10.4.
(c)    The Transferee of a Member’s Interest in the Company may be admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member upon the prior written consent of the Managing Member (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No Transferee of a Member’s Interest shall become a Substituted Member unless such Transfer shall be made in compliance with Sections 10.2(a) and 10.3. Unless a Transferee of a Member’s Interest in the Company is admitted as a Substituted Member under this Section 10.2(b), it shall have none of the powers of a Member hereunder and shall have only such rights of an assignee under the Act as are consistent with this Agreement. 

34

(d)    Upon the Transfer of the entire Interest in the Company of a Member and effective upon the admission of its Transferee as a Substituted Member, the Transferor shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the Company as a Member.
(e)    Upon the death, dissolution, resignation or withdrawal in contravention of Section 11.1, or the bankruptcy of a Member (the “Withdrawing Member”), the Company shall have the right to treat such Member’s successor(s)-in-interest as assignee(s) of such Member’s Interest in the Company, with none of the powers of a Member hereunder and with only such rights of an assignee under the Act as are consistent with this Agreement. 
(f)    Upon request of the Company, each Member agrees to provide to the Company information regarding its adjusted tax basis in its Interests along with documentation substantiating such amount, and any other information, documentation and certification necessary for the Company to comply with Code section 743 and the Regulations thereunder.
(g)    The Company shall reflect each Transfer and admission of a Member authorized under this Article 10 by amending the Schedule of Members maintained pursuant to Section 3.1.
(h)    To the extent that any Class B Units are Transferred in accordance with this Article 10 by any Member (other than the Managing Member), the Transferor shall Transfer to the Transferee an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock. No Member shall make any other Transfer of Class B Common Stock.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no admission (or purported admission) of a Member, and no Transfer (or purported Transfer) of all or any part of a Member’s interest in the Company (or any economic interest therein) whether to another Member or to a Person who is not a Member, shall be effective, and any such admission or Transfer (or purported admission or Transfer) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Member if after such admission or Transfer (or purported admission or Transfer) the Company would have more than one hundred Members, unless the Managing Member determines in its sole discretion that the Company will meet the requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(j)(1) for the Taxable Year of such Transfer and all subsequent Taxable Years. In determining whether the Company will have more than one hundred Members for purposes of this Section 10.2, each Person indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a grantor trust or an S corporation (each such entity, a “flow-through entity”) shall be treated as a Member unless the Managing Member determines in its sole discretion, after consulting with qualified tax counsel, that less than substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest in the flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Company.

35

10.3    Further Requirements. In addition to the other requirements of Sections 10.2 and 10.4, and unless waived in whole or in part by the Managing Member, no Transfer of all or any portion of an Interest in the Company may be made unless the following conditions are met:
(a)    The Transferor or Transferee shall have paid all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the cost of the preparation, filing and publishing of any joinder or amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate, incurred by the Company in connection with the Transfer;
(b)    The Transferor shall have delivered to the Company a fully executed copy of all documents relating to the Transfer, executed by both the Transferor and the Transferee, and the agreement of the Transferee in writing and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member to:
(i)    be bound by the terms imposed upon such Transfer by the terms of this Agreement; and
(ii)    assume all obligations of the Transferor under this Agreement and such other agreements as the Managing Member may specify relating to the Interest in the Company that is the subject of such Transfer;
(c)    The Managing Member shall have been reasonably satisfied, including, at its option, having received an opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member, that:
(i)    the Transfer will not cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes;
(ii)    the Transfer will not cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Code section 7704; and
(iii)    the Transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act or any rules or regulations thereunder or cause the Company to be required to register as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any rules or regulations thereunder.
Any waivers from the Managing Member under this Section 10.3 shall be given or denied as determined by the Managing Member.

10.4    Exchange; Take-Along, Tag-Along Rights.
(a)    The Members and the Company have entered into an Exchange Agreement contemplating the exchange of Class B Units and shares of Class B Common Stock 

36

or Class C Units, as the case may be, for shares of Class A Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement.
(b)    Take-Along Rights.
(i)    If there should be a Qualified Sale Transaction, HLI may, in its capacity as Managing Member and in its sole discretion, require (“take-along right”) each Member to (A) sell all (but not less than all) of the Units (together with the associated shares of Class B Common Stock, if any) then held by that Member to the purchaser in accordance with this Section 10.4(b) or (B) require that Member to surrender those Units (together with the associated shares of Class B Common Stock, if applicable) for redemption by the Company, as the transaction may require, subject to all applicable provisions of this Section 10.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member may allow any Person owning Units of record or beneficially that is employed by HLI, the Company or their Subsidiaries to retain, and exclude from a Qualified Sale Transaction, a portion of those Units in connection with any Qualified Sale Transaction.
(ii)    The Managing Member shall give notice to each other Member, not fewer than 30 days prior to the consummation of any contemplated Qualified Sale Transaction, setting forth the principal terms of the Qualified Sale Transaction (including the proposed closing date) in reasonable detail and advising as to whether its take-along rights are exercised or waived.
(iii)    If the Managing Member elects to exercise its take-along rights in connection with a Qualified Sale Transaction, it shall provide to each other Member and to each beneficial owner of that Members’ Units all documents required to be executed by each of them to consummate the Qualified Sale Transaction, not fewer than ten days prior to the closing date. Each other Member shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Managing Member, at least five days before the proposed closing date, all such documents. If any Member fails to deliver (or cause to be delivered) these documents and the Qualified Sale Transaction is subsequently consummated, the Company shall cause its books and records to show that the Units owned of record or beneficially by the defaulting Member or beneficial owner, as applicable, are bound by the provisions of this Section and that they may be Transferred only to the Qualified Purchaser who purchased the Units in the Qualified Sale Transaction or, in the case of a Qualified Sale Transaction that is structured as a redemption of Units, to the Company for redemption.
(c)    Tag-Along Rights.
(i)In the event of any Qualified Sale Transaction to a bona fide unaffiliated third party pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Qualified Sale Transaction, each Member shall have the right to require the Managing Member to (A) include, or cause to be 

37

included, all or any of the Units (together with the associated shares of Class B Common Stock, if applicable) held by that Member in the Qualified Sale Transaction, (B) alternatively, at the sole discretion of the Managing Member, redeem such Units and associated shares, or (C) further alternatively, and also in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, Exchange such Units and associated shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock of HLI, plus, in all applicable cases, payment of the par value of the associated shares of Class B Common Stock, subject to all applicable provisions of this Section 10.4.
(ii)If a Member wishes to participate in the Qualified Sale Transaction pursuant to this Section 10.4(c), that Member shall give notice to the Managing Member within ten days after its receipt of notice of the transaction pursuant to Section 10.4(b)(ii).  On receipt of the Member’s notification, and in any event at least ten days prior to the contemplated closing of the Qualified Sale Transaction, the Managing Member shall provide to each Member electing to participate the documents required for execution in connection with the Qualified Sale Transaction.  To participate in the Qualified Sale Transaction, the Member shall deliver to the Managing Member, at least five days before the proposed closing date, all such documents.  If any Member fails to deliver these documents, its rights to participate in that (but not any other) Qualified Sale Transaction shall lapse.
(d)    The consideration for any Units included in a Qualified Sale Transaction shall be the same as the price per share of Class A Common Stock that is paid in that transaction; provided, however, that if for any reason, Units of limited liability company interest in the Company or HLAI are included in the transaction at a higher price, that higher price shall be the price of Company Units included pursuant to these Sections 10.4(b) and 10.4(c).  The form of consideration for any transaction pursuant to an exercise by the Managing Member of its take-along rights shall be cash; the form of consideration for Units included in a Qualified Sale Transaction pursuant to an exercise by a Member of its tag-along rights shall be the same as that paid for all other Units and shares of Common Stock included in the transaction.
(e)    If the Qualified Sale Transaction is consummated, promptly after such consummation, the Managing Member shall notify the Company and each other Member to that effect and furnish such evidence of the sale and of the terms thereof as any other Member may reasonably request.  The Managing Member shall also cause to be remitted to each other Member that has complied with its obligations hereunder or who is deemed to have sold its Units pursuant hereto the proceeds of the sale attributable to the sale of such Member’s Units (subject to any agreed holdbacks or escrows in connection with such sale which will be paid to such Members as promptly as practicable after the Managing Members’ receipt of same, and net of such Member’s pro rata portion of all costs and expenses incurred by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company and the Members in connection therewith. Likewise, upon its receipt of any deferred consideration (such as pursuant to the release of an escrow or holdback, the 

38

payment of an earnout, or the receipt of a tax refund, for example), the Managing Member or the Company, as applicable, shall cause to be remitted to each other Member its pro rata portion of that amount. For the purposes of this Section 3.04, each Member’s “pro rata” portion of any amount shall be the amount that is equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the number of Company Units held by that Member and included, redeemed, or exchanged in the Qualified Sale Transaction by the aggregate number of Company Units of all Members that are included in or redeemed in the transaction. If a Qualified Sale Transaction is not consummated by the Managing Member, it shall return to each other Member all documents previously delivered by them to it in connection with the Qualified Sale Transaction.
(f)    In connection with any Qualified Sale Transaction, each Member shall use its or his commercially reasonable best efforts to aid the Company and HLI in the consummation of the transaction and shall take all actions necessary, proper or advisable in connection therewith as are requested by the Managing Member, including casting votes or providing written consents in favor of the transaction if required by applicable law or requested by the Managing Member. As part of this cooperation, each Member shall: execute and deliver the definitive transaction documents and all related documentation and take such other action in support of the sale as shall be reasonably requested by the Managing Member, and make such representations and warranties and provide such indemnification as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser, provided that the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Member shall not exceed the amount of consideration actually paid to such Member. No Member shall have any liability for any representation or warranty made by another Member, and the terms and conditions of any Member’s participation in a Qualified Sale Transaction shall be substantially identical to the terms applicable to all other Persons selling securities in that transaction.
 (g)     Change in Control of HLI .  Should there occur a Change in Control of HLI, each of the Members other than the Managing Member shall have the right to require the Managing Member to effect an Exchange of any or all of the Units (together with the associated shares of Class B Common Stock, if applicable) then held by that Member effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control of HLI and notwithstanding any restrictions or limitations on the timing of Exchanges that may be in effect under the Exchange Agreement or HLI policies at the time. In the event of a Change in Control of HLI, the Managing Member shall give to each Member the lesser of 30 days advance notice of the occurrence of that Change in Control of HLI, or, the longest notice that is reasonably practicable in light of the circumstances attending the Change in Control of HLI. A Member wishing to exercise its rights pursuant to this  Section 10.4(g)  shall give notice to the Managing Member of the exercise of those rights as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five business days after the date of the Managing Member’s notice. Thereafter, the Managing Member, the Company, and the Member exercising Exchange rights pursuant to this   Section 10.4(g)  shall each use their reasonable best efforts to cause the requested Exchanges to be effected as and when provided herein. 

39

 (h)    Notwithstanding anything in this  Section 10.4  to the contrary, (i) there shall be no liability on the part of the Managing Member or any other Person to any Member if any sale, redemption or Exchange of Units pursuant to this  Section 10.4  is not consummated due to a failure of a Qualified Sale Transaction or Change in Control of HLI to occur. 
 (i)     Expenses .  All expenses of the Company and of the Members occasioned by a Transfer of a Member’s Units permitted under  Section 10.4(b) ,  10.4(c)  and  10.4(d)  shall be borne by the Member effecting such Transfer. Shared costs and expenses shall be borne by the Members and beneficial owners transferring or exchanging in the transaction pro rata or in such other proportion as the Managing Member may in good faith determine to be equitable. 

10.5    Automatic Conversion.  Upon the termination of employment with the Company (and HLI, if applicable) of any Management LLC Member (a) who is a Major Management Holder (for Cause) or (b) who is not a Major Management Holder (for any reason, with or without Cause), then in either case (a) or (b), the Company shall automatically effect a conversion of all Class B Units beneficially owned by such Management LLC Member and his or her successors-in-interest (whether or not held through Management LLC) to an equal number of Class C Units. In connection with such conversion, the Managing Member shall redeem all shares of Class B Common Stock held by such Management LLC Member for a cash payment of the aggregate par value of such Class B Common Stock.  This provision will cease to have effect after a Sunset (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of HLI). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the termination of employment of a Major Management Holder without Cause shall not result in an automatic conversion hereunder.

10.6    Consequences of Transfers Generally.
(a)    In the event of any Transfer or Transfers permitted under this Article 10, the Transferor and the Interest in the Company that is the subject of such Transfer shall remain subject to this Agreement, and the Transferee shall hold such Interest in the Company subject to all unperformed obligations of the Transferor. Any successor or Transferee hereunder shall be subject to and bound by this Agreement as if originally a party to this Agreement.
(b)    Unless a Transferee of a Member’s Interest becomes a Substituted Member, such Transferee shall have no right to obtain or require any information or account of Company transactions, or to inspect the Company’s books or to exercise any rights of approval reserved only to admitted Members of the Company with respect to Company matters. Such a Transfer shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 10.1, merely entitle the Transferee to receive the share of distributions, Net Income, Net Loss and items of income, gain, deduction and loss to which the Transferor otherwise would have been entitled. Each Member agrees that such Member will, upon request of the Managing Member, execute such certificates or other documents and perform such acts as the Managing Member deems appropriate after a Transfer of 

40

such Member’s Interest in the Company (whether or not the Transferee becomes a Substituted Member) to preserve the limited liability of the Members under the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Company is doing business.
(c)    The Transfer of a Member’s Interest in the Company and the admission of a Substituted Member shall not be cause for dissolution of the Company.

10.7    Capital Account; Percentage Interest. Any Transferee of a Member under this Article 10 shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 10.1, succeed to the portion of the Capital Account and Percentage Interest so Transferred to such Transferee.

10.8    Additional Filings. Upon the admission of a Substituted Member under Section 10.2, the Company shall cause to be executed, filed and recorded with the appropriate governmental agencies such documents (including amendments to this Agreement) as are required to accomplish such substitution.

ARTICLE 11.      RESIGNATION OF MEMBERS; TERMINATION OF COMPANY; LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

11.1    Resignation of Members. Except as otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement, a Member may not resign or withdraw from the Company unless unanimously agreed to in writing by all other Members or in connection with the Transfer of all of such Member’s Units in accordance with the provisions of Article 10. The Managing Member shall reflect any such resignation or withdrawal by amending the Schedule of Members maintained pursuant to Section 3.1(c), dated as of the date of such resignation or withdrawal, and the resigning or withdrawing Member (or such Member’s successors-in-interest) shall have none of the powers of a Member hereunder and shall only have such rights of an assignee of a limited liability company interest under the Act as are consistent with the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and with no other rights under this Agreement. The remaining Members may, in their sole discretion, cause the Company to distribute to the resigning or withdrawing Member the balance in its Capital Account on the date of such resignation or withdrawal. Upon the distribution to the resigning or withdrawing Member of the balance in his Capital Account, the resigning or withdrawing Member shall have no further rights with respect to the Company. Any Member resigning or withdrawing in contravention of this Section 11.1 shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Managing Member and all other Members from and against any losses, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements or damages suffered or incurred by the Company or any such other Member arising out of or resulting from such resignation or withdrawal.

41

11.2    Dissolution of the Company. 
(a)    The Company shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of any of the following events:
(i)    the determination of the Managing Member to dissolve the Company;
(ii)    an order by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Company be dissolved; or
(iii)    the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
(b)    Except as expressly provided herein or as otherwise required by the Act, the Members shall have no power to dissolve the Company. Absent any of the events set out in Section 11.2(a) above, the Company shall not be dissolved upon any Member becoming bankrupt or executing an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the death, retirement, insanity, resignation, expulsion or dissolution of any Member, or any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company. 
(c)    In the event of the dissolution of the Company for any reason, the Managing Member or a liquidating agent or committee appointed by the Managing Member shall act as a liquidating agent (the Managing Member or such liquidating agent or committee, in such capacity, is hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidator”) and shall commence to wind up the affairs of the Company and to liquidate the Company assets. The Members shall continue to share all income, losses and distributions during the period of liquidation in accordance with Article 5 and Article 6. The Liquidator shall have full right and unlimited discretion to determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Company assets pursuant to such liquidation, giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.
(d)    The Liquidator shall have all of the rights and powers with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Company in connection with the liquidation and termination of the Company that the Managing Member would have with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Company during the term of the Company, and the Liquidator is hereby expressly authorized and empowered to execute any and all documents necessary or desirable to effectuate the liquidation and termination of the Company and the transfer of any Company assets.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Liquidator which is not a Member shall not be deemed a Member and shall not have any of the economic interests in the Company of a Member; and such Liquidator shall be compensated for its services to the Company at normal, 

42

customary and competitive rates for its services to the Company, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member.

11.3    Distribution in Liquidation. The Company’s assets shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(a)    first, to pay the costs and expenses of the winding-up, liquidation and termination of the Company;
(b)    second, to creditors of the Company, in the order of priority provided by law, including fees, indemnification payments and reimbursements payable to the Members or their Affiliates, but not including those liabilities (other than liabilities to the Members for any expenses of the Company paid by the Members or their Affiliates, to the extent the Members are entitled to reimbursement hereunder) to the Members in their capacity as Members;
(c)    third, to establish reserves reasonably adequate to meet any and all contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; provided, however, that at the expiration of such period of time as the Liquidator may deem advisable, the balance of such reserves remaining after the payment of such contingencies or liabilities shall be distributed as hereinafter provided; and
(d)    fourth, the remainder to the Members in accordance with Section 6.1.
If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, determines that Company assets other than cash are to be distributed, then the Liquidator shall cause the Fair Market Value of the assets not so liquidated to be determined (with any such determination normally made by the Managing Member in accordance with the definition of “Fair Market Value” being made instead by the Liquidator). Such assets shall be retained or distributed by the Liquidator as follows:
(i)    the Liquidator shall retain assets having a value, net of any liability related thereto, equal to the amount by which the cash net proceeds of liquidated assets are insufficient to satisfy the requirements of clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 11.3; and
(ii)    the remaining assets shall be distributed to the Members in the manner specified in clause (d) of this Section 11.3.
(e)    If the Liquidator, in its sole discretion, deems it not feasible or desirable to distribute to each Member its allocable share of each asset, the Liquidator may allocate and distribute specific assets to one or more Members as the Liquidator shall reasonably determine to be fair and equitable, taking into consideration, inter alia, the Fair Market Value of such assets and the tax consequences of the proposed distribution upon each of the Members (including both distributees and others, if any). Any distributions in-kind shall be subject to such conditions 

43

relating to the disposition and management thereof as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable.

11.4    Final Reports. Within a reasonable time following the completion of the liquidation of the Company’s assets, the Liquidator shall deliver to each of the Members a statement which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation and each Member’s portion of distributions pursuant to Section 11.3.

11.5    Rights of Members. Each Member shall look solely to the Company’s assets for all distributions with respect to the Company and such Member’s Capital Contribution (including return thereof), and such Member’s share of profits or losses thereon, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member or the Managing Member.

11.6    Deficit Restoration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon liquidation of a Member’s Interest in the Company (whether or not in connection with a liquidation of the Company), no Member shall have any liability to restore any deficit in its Capital Account. In addition, no allocation to any Member of any loss, whether attributable to depreciation or otherwise, shall create any asset of or obligation to the Company, even if such allocation reduces the Capital Account of any Member or creates or increases a deficit in such Capital Account; it is also the intent of the Members that no Member shall be obligated to pay any such amount to or for the account of the Company or any creditor of the Company. No creditor of the Company is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement nor shall any such creditor have any rights hereunder.

11.7    Termination. The Company shall terminate when all property owned by the Company shall have been disposed of and the assets shall have been distributed as provided in Section 11.3. The Liquidator shall then execute and cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Company.

13.2    Amendment of Certificate.

This power-of-attorney is a special power-of-attorney and is coupled with an interest in favor of the Managing Member and, as such: (A) shall be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any party granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of whether the Company or the Managing Member shall have had notice thereof; (B) may be exercised for a Member by facsimile 

45

signature of the Managing Member or, after listing all of the Members, including such Member, by a single signature of the Managing Member acting as attorney-in-fact for all of them; and (C) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by a Member of the whole or any portion of its Interest in the Company, except that where the assignee thereof has been approved by the Managing Member for admission to the Company as a Substituted Member, this power-of-attorney given by the assignor shall survive the delivery of such assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the Managing Member to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.

ARTICLE 14.      MISCELLANEOUS

14.1    Agreement for Further Execution.  The Members agree to sign, swear or acknowledge any certificates or filings required by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any other state, to sign, swear or acknowledge any amendment or cancellation of such certificate or filings, whether or not such amendment or cancellation is required by law, to sign, swear or acknowledge such other certificates, filings, documents or affidavits of assumed name, trade name or the like (and any amendments or cancellations thereof) that may be required for conduct of the Company’s business and to cause the filing of any of the same for record wherever such filing shall be required by law.

14.2    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

14.3    Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Member or the Company. Upon determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Members shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the intent of the Members (as of the date of the this Agreement) as closely as possible in an acceptable manner and in order that the 

46

transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as contemplated (as of the date of this Agreement) to the greatest extent possible.

14.4    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Exchange Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement or understandings among them with respect to the subject matter hereof (including the Third A&R Operating Agreement), and it may not be modified or amended in any manner other than as set forth herein.

14.5    Indulgences, Etc.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same; nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

14.6    Binding Nature of Agreement; Assignment.  This  Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Members and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except in accordance with Article 10. All references in this Agreement to any Member shall be deemed to include its, his or her heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

14.7    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

14.8    Headings.  All headings, titles or captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.9    Number of Days.  Any reference in this Agreement to a “day” or number of “days” (without the explicit qualification of “Business”) shall be interpreted as a reference to a calendar day or number of calendar days.

14.10    Interpretation.  No provision of this Agreement is to be interpreted for or against any party because that party or that party’s representative drafted such provision.

47

14.11    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of the Company or of any subsidiary) other than the Members any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.

14.12    Waiver of Partition.  The Members hereby agree that the Company assets are not and will not be suitable for partition. Accordingly, each of the Members hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights (if any) that such Member may have to maintain any action for partition of any of such assets.

14.13    Waiver of Judicial Dissolution.  Each Member agrees that irreparable damage would occur if any Member should bring or have brought on its behalf an action for judicial dissolution of the Company. Accordingly, each Member accepts the provisions under this Agreement as such Member’s sole entitlement on dissolution of the Company and waives and renounces all rights to seek or have sought for such Member a court decree of dissolution or to seek the appointment by a court of a liquidator for the Company.

14.14    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.

14.15    Non-Occurrence of IPO.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 13.1), in the event that the IPO is not consummated prior to the date that is 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall automatically, with no action required by any Member, on such date be amended and restated in its entirety back to the Third A&R Operating Agreement and, upon such automatic amendment and restatement of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be of no force and effect.
