			(a)        Authorization.  Buyer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Colorado and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted.  Buyer has full organizational power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes the valid and binding agreements of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity.
		

		
			(b)        Non-Contravention.  The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not:  (i) violate or result in a violation of, conflict with or constitute or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any material Permit or Contract to which Buyer is a party or by which it or its respective assets are bound, (ii) violate or result in a violation of, conflict
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			11

		

 

		

		
			with or constitute or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, or accelerate any obligation under, any provision of Buyer’s organizational documents; (iii) violate or result in a violation of, or constitute a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by, any court or governmental agency applicable to Buyer; or (iv) require from Buyer any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority or other third party.
		

		
			(c)        Brokerage.  There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary whom has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Buyer who is entitled to any fee or commission from Buyer or Founder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
		

		
			SECTION 5.  SALE AND PURCHASE OF STOCK; CLOSING OF SHA TRANSACTIONS.
		

		
			5.1       Sale and Purchase of Stock.
		

		
			(a)        Upon the earliest to occur of any of the following events:
		

		
			(i)         a mutually agreed date on or between March 31, 2020 and May 29, 2020; provided, however, if the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon a date, on May 29, 2020 (“Event 1”);
		

		
			(ii)        the consummation of a Change in Control (“Event 2”);
		

		
			(iii)       For Cause Termination of any Founder (which shall mean either “Event 3A” or “Event 3B” and collectively, “Event 3”); or
		

		
			(iv)       Founder Exit (“Event 4”);
		

		
			each Founder shall sell, assign, transfer, convey, and deliver to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase from each Founder, the entire right, title, and interest in and to each of the outstanding Founder Shares, as set forth in Exhibit A, free and clear of any Encumbrance, in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 5.1(b) below; provided that if Event 3A occurs, then Buyer may elect (in its sole discretion) to close under Event 3 as to all or none of the Founder Shares held by all Founders (and if no such Closing occurs, then Buyer shall subsequently close for any remaining Founder Shares under Event 1 or Event 2 as they occur).
		

		
			(b)        Consideration. On the Closing Date, in consideration of the purchase of the Founder Shares from Founders, and upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions in Section 5.2(a) (Buyer’s Conditions to Closing of SHA Transactions) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer will pay to Founders in the aggregate an amount (the “Purchase Price”) calculated as follows:
		

		
			(i)         In the case of Event 1, Consideration = $5 million + 1.95*FY20 Adjusted Normalized EBITDA + 0.3* Excess Cash;
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			12

		

 

		

		
			(ii)        In the case of Event 2, Consideration = $5 million + 2.25*Adjusted Normalized EBITDA for the Trailing Twelve Months (calculated from the available most recently completed full monthly period ending prior to the date of the Event 2 occurrence) + 0.3 * Excess Cash;
		

		
			(iii)       In the case of Event 3, Consideration = $5 million + 1.95*Adjusted Normalized EBITDA for the Trailing Twelve Months (calculated from the most recently completed full monthly period ending prior to the date of the Event 3 occurrence) + 0.3 * Excess Cash; and
		

		
			(iv)       In the case of Event 4, Consideration = $5 million + 1.95*Adjusted Normalized EBITDA for the Trailing Twelve Months (calculated from the most recently completed full monthly period ending prior to the date of the Event 4 occurrence) + 0.3 * Excess Cash.
		

		
			In the event Buyer purchases the Founders Shares in connection with Event 1, and if there has been an extraordinary, one-time event (including, but not limited to war, hurricanes, earthquakes and other uncontrollable natural disasters) which materially adversely affects Company EBITDA in FY20, then at Founders’ request, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, extend Event 1 by twelve months.
		

		
			(c)        Withholdings.  Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Founders such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld, (i) such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Founders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, and (ii) Buyer shall provide to Founders written notice of the amounts so deducted or withheld.
		

		
			(d)        Indemnification for Unrecovered Losses for Company Breaches under Stock Purchase Agreement.  In the event that (A) any Losses are incurred by Buyer, TTH or their respective Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii) through (vi)  of the Stock Purchase Agreement and (B) such Losses are not recovered by them under the Stock Purchase Agreement other than for reason of a non-Founder Seller not paying its Pro Rata Share of such Loss under the Stock Purchase Agreement (and, for purposes of clarity, the Founders shall not be liable to the extent that a non-Founder Seller does not pay its Pro Rata Share of a Loss under the Stock Purchase Agreement) (an “Unrecovered Loss”), then the Founders shall indemnify Buyer fully for such Unrecovered Losses unless the Company paid the Unrecovered Loss while the Founders still owned all of the Founder Shares (except if the Company was required to take out a loan to pay such Unrecovered Loss, in which event the Founders shall indemnify Buyer fully for such Unrecovered Loss).  For example, if an Indemnified Party incurs Losses of $1,000,000 under Section 9.2(b)(ii) of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties pay or otherwise cover $700,000 of those Losses under Section 9.2(c)(iii) of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Company did not pay any portion of the Unrecovered Loss while the Founders owned the Founder Shares, then the Founders shall, on a pro rata basis, indemnify the Buyer and pay Buyer the $300,000 of Unrecovered Losses. In the event that the
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			13

		

 

		

		
			Company is required to make a payment for such Unrecovered Losses, the Company shall only do so with cash and shall not take out a loan unless it is commercially reasonable to do so.
		

		
			5.2       Conditions to Closing of SHA Transactions.
		

		
			(a)        Conditions to Buyer’s Obligations for the Closing of SHA Transactions.  The obligation of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the fulfillment on or prior to Closing of SHA Transactions of all of the conditions, covenants and agreements to be performed by Founders hereunder and that the Founders’ representations and warranties hereunder are true and correct in all respects as of Closing of SHA Transactions.
		

		
			(b)        Closing Deliveries for the Closing.  Founders shall deliver the following to Buyer at the Closing of SHA Transactions:
		

		
			(i)         Closing Certificate.  Each of the Founders will deliver to Buyer a certificate, dated as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, certifying that all of the conditions, covenants and agreements to be performed by the Founders on or prior to Closing of SHA Transactions have been satisfied and that the Founders’ representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects as of Closing of SHA Transactions.
		

		
			(ii)        Stock Certificates.  The Founders will deliver to Buyer a stock certificate or certificates representing the Founder Shares, duly endorsed for transfer to Buyer, and accompanied by duly executed stock power and a completed letter of transmittal.
		

		
			(iii)       Release.  Each Founder will deliver to Buyer an executed Release in the form of Exhibit E at and effective as of Closing of SHA Transactions.
		

		
			(iv)       Other Deliverables.  Each Founder will deliver to Buyer such other tax or legal deliverables as reasonably requested by Buyer in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereunder.
		

		
			5.3       Closing of SHA Transactions.
		

		
			(a)        The Closing of SHA Transactions of the transactions contemplated by Section 5.1(a)(i) shall take place by no later than May 29, 2020, unless there is a dispute in the calculation of Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, in which case the Founders can elect to either (i) have the Closing of SHA Transactions take place within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute; or (ii) have the Closing of SHA Transactions still occur on May 29, 2020 (or such earlier date agreed by the Parties) and Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price that it calculated, but the dispute shall remain open and shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, and such adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute.
		

		
			(b)        The Closing of SHA Transactions contemplated by Section 5.1(a)(ii) shall take place on the closing of the Change in Control.  If there is a dispute in the calculation of Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, the Closing of SHA Transactions shall still occur on the date of closing of the Change in Control and Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price that it calculated, but the dispute
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			14

		

 

		

		
			shall remain open and shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, and such adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute.
		

		
			(c)        The Closing of SHA Transactions contemplated by Section 5.1(a)(iii) shall take place within sixty (60) days of such termination, unless there is a dispute in the calculation of Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, in which case the Founders can elect to either (i) have the Closing of SHA Transactions take place within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute; or (ii) have the Closing of SHA Transactions still occur within sixty (60) days of such termination and Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price that it calculated, but the dispute shall remain open and shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, and such adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute.
		

		
			(d)        The Closing of SHA Transactions contemplated by Section 5.1(a)(iv) shall take place within sixty (60) days of the date of the Event 4 occurrence, unless there is a dispute in the calculation of Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, which shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, in which case the Founders can elect to either (i) have the Closing of SHA Transactions take place within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute; or (ii) have the Closing of SHA Transactions still occur within sixty (60) days of the date of the Event 4 occurrence and Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price that it calculated, but the dispute shall remain open and shall be resolved in accordance with Section 5.4 below, and such adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of resolution of such dispute.
		

		
			5.4       Disputes.  In the event the Parties do not agree on the calculation of Adjusted Normalized EBIDTA, they shall try and resolve their disagreement for at least 15 days after the start of the disagreement; provided that such 15-day period can be extended by another 15 days by either Party (the “Resolution Period”).  In the event the Parties do not agree within the Resolution Period, then Buyer and Founders shall mutually agree to engage one of the Big Four accounting firms, provided such firm has no conflicts, and if all Big Four accounting firms have conflicts which prevent them from being engaged, then Buyer and Founders shall mutually agree on an appropriate tier-2 national independent accounting firm to determine solely the disputed calculations based on the definitive transaction documents (the “Independent Accountants”).  The Independent Accountants shall be requested to render a written determination of the applicable dispute (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) within forty five (45) days after referral of the matter to such Independent Accountants, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor and must be based solely on (x) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, (y) a single presentation (which “Presentations” shall be limited to the remaining items in dispute submitted by each of Buyer and Founders to the Independent Accountants within fifteen (15) days after the engagement thereof (which the Independent Accountants shall forward to the other Party (Buyer or Founders) upon receipt of both such presentations) and (z) one written response submitted to the Independent Accountants within five (5) Business Days after receipt of each such presentation (which the Independent Accountants shall forward to the other Party upon receipt of both such responses), and not on independent review, which such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.  The terms of appointment and engagement of the Independent Accountants shall be as reasonably agreed upon between Founders and Buyer.  Founders shall
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			15

		

 

		

		
			pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of disputed amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Buyer (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and Founders’ determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of disputed amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which Buyer’s determination and Founders’ determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants).  Buyer shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that Founders are not required to pay hereunder.  The Independent Accountants shall resolve each disputed item by choosing a value not in excess of, nor less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, set forth in the Presentations.  Such determination of the Independent Accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or manifest error.  Buyer and Founders agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 5.4 for resolving such disputes shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to, any such disputes; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either Party from instituting litigation to enforce any final determination by the Independent Accountants hereunder or to compel any Party to submit any dispute arising in connection with this Section 5.4 to the Independent Accountants pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.4, in each case, in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 6.12.  The substance of the Independent Accountants’ determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud or manifest error.
		

		
			SECTION 6.  MISCELLANEOUS.
		

		
			6.1       Amendments; Consents.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the holders of a majority of the Founder Shares and Company or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 6.2.  For purposes of clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) except for Kaushal Mehta and Parul Mehta, no Founder shall have any management, consent or similar rights under this Agreement, and (ii) whenever the consent, vote, waiver or similar act is held by or required of the Founders, (A) Kaushal Mehta shall have authority to act on behalf of and bind all Founders until he is deceased or has a Disability (a “Disabling Event”), and (b) after a Disabling Event, Parul Mehta shall have authority to act on behalf of and bind all Founders until she is deceased or has a Disability.
		

		
			6.2       Waiver.  Any Party to this Agreement may waive compliance or performance of any provision of this Agreement that is intended for the benefit of such waiving Party.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing executed by the Party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition or as a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.  The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Section 6.2 shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.  No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			16

		

 

		

		
			6.3       Specific Performance.  The Founders, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each agree that the other Party shall each have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and such other Party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance.  If any such action is brought by a Party to enforce this Agreement, the other Party hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law or the requirement for the posting of any bond or similar security.
		

		
			6.4       Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Parties hereto shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby.
		

		
			6.5       Notices.  All notices, claims, demands and other communications given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, mailed by first class mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by reputable express courier service to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 6.5):

			17

		

 

		

		
			6.6       Binding Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Founders and Buyer.  Company and TTH (and its acquirors) are intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
		

		
			6.7       Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
		

		
			6.8       Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith with sophisticated counsel.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.  If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.  The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation” regardless of whether such words are included in some contexts but not others. The use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in reference to a party hereto shall be deemed to include the feminine or neuter, as the context may require.
		

		
			6.9       Captions.  The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.
		

		
			6.10      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Schedules identified in this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
		

		
			6.11      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

			6.12      Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
		

		
			(a)        This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, whether arising in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware (including in respect of the statute of limitations or other limitations period applicable to any such claim controversy or dispute), without regard to any applicable principles of conflicts of Law that might require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.
		

		
			(b)        Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by any other party or its successors or assigns may be brought and determined by the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction or declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), or by any court or Governmental Authority located in India, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid court for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts).  Each of the parties further agrees to accept service of process in any manner permitted by such court.  Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure lawfully to serve process, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such court (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.  In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party of the prevailing party’s reasonable legal fees and expenses.
		

		
			(c)        EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
		

		
			6.13      Further Assurances.  The Parties covenant and agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to do all acts and things as may be required to carry out their obligations hereunder and to consummate this Agreement, including executing, sealing and delivering all such other instruments and other
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			19

		

 

		

		
			documents, and to assist Buyer in exercising all rights with respect thereto and to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
		

		
			6.14      Survival of Warranties and Covenants.  Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties of the Parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing of SHA Transactions and shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Parties.

			EXHIBIT B
		

		
			NORMALIZED EBITDA
		

		
			The parties agree that the following principles will govern the definition of Normalized EBITDA:
		

		
			1.      Each party pays for its own non-operations overhead resources and the Delivery Party pays for the other party’s temporary operations personnel travelling to its delivery site to provide any support (if approved by the Delivery Party)
		

		
			For purposes of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the term “Normalized EBITDA” shall include the following:
		

		
			Type #1 Services (Motif Delivery of Unique Services for Any Client from Motif location):  All EBITDA attributable to Unique Services (as defined in Exhibit D) delivered by the Company from any existing or new Company location, on behalf of a client of either of Company, Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate.  Company shall bear all expense and investments including capital expenditures for technology, real estate and facilities related to such Type #1 Services.
		

		
			Type #2 Services (Motif Delivery of Other Services for TTEC Client from Motif location):  All EBITDA attributable to services that are not Unique Services delivered by the Company from a Company location, on behalf of a client of Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate; provided that Company was directly involved in pitching the services (to include showcasing its capabilities, selling, support for proposal preparation, etc.), solutioning the services, pricing the services or implementing the services (transitioning, training, quality assurance or operations) for the client engagement.  Company shall bear all expense and investments including capital expenditures for technology, real estate and facilities related to such Type #2 Services.
		

		
			Type #3 Services (Motif Delivery of Services within Motif Excusive Verticals for Any Client from India):  All EBITDA attributable to services directly associated with the Motif Excusive Verticals (as defined) and delivered by the Company from an India site only, on behalf of a client of either of Company, Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate. Company shall bear all expense and investments for capital expenditures for technology, real estate and facilities related to such Type #3 Services.
		

		
			Type #4 Services (TeleTech Delivery of Unique Services for TTEC Client from TTEC location):  All EBITDA attributable to Unique Services delivered by Buyer or any Affiliate from any existing or new Buyer or Buyer Affiliate location, with full Enterprise Services (as defined) cost burden on behalf of any new or existing client of Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate. Buyer or Buyer Affiliate (as applicable) shall bear all capital expenditures for technology, real estate and facilities related to such Type #4 Services.
		

		
			Type #5 Services (TeleTech Delivery of Other Services for Motif Client from TTEC location):  All EBITDA attributable to new services that are not Unique Services delivered by Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate from any existing or new Buyer or Buyer
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

		
			Affiliate location, with full Enterprise Services cost burden, on behalf of any new or existing client of Company that was not directly pitched, sourced nor sold by Buyer or its Affiliate.  Buyer or Buyer Affiliate (as applicable) shall bear all capital expenditures for technology, real estate and facilities related to such Type #5 Services.
		

		
			TeleTech Site Selection Discretion:  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, neither Buyer or nor any Buyer Affiliate shall be restricted in any manner should it decide to deliver services to a client of Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate in India (or anywhere else in the world); provided the services are not Unique Services and are not services in a Motif Exclusive Vertical, and under such circumstances, no EBITDA attributable to the delivery of such services by Buyer or any Buyer Affiliate shall be included in the calculation of Normalized EBITDA.
		

		
			Training, Work Force Management, QA, etc.:  In the case of Type #1 Services, Type #2 Services and Type #3 Services where Company is the delivery party, Company shall provide all support services related to the applicable Type #1-3 Services, including but not limited to talent acquisition, recruitment, quality assurance, workforce management, human capital and project management support for project launch (collectively, “Delivery Support Services”), and in the case of Type #4 Services and Type #5 Services where Buyer or its Affiliate is the delivery party, Buyer or its applicable Affiliate shall provide all Delivery Support Services related to the applicable Type #4 and 5 Services.
		

		
			TeleTech Customer Management Services: For purposes of clarity, any references to the EBITDA of Buyer or its Affiliate, and any references to the clients of Buyer or its Affiliate, or references to costs, locations, etc., are in each case limited to the EBITDA associated with TeleTech Customer Management Services (CMS) business unit, the clients of TeleTech’s CMS business unit and the costs, locations, etc. of TeleTech’s CMS.  Nothing stated in this exhibit or in the Shareholders’ Agreement shall be deemed to incorporate any matters relative to the business of TeleTech’s other business units (e.g., TeleTech Customer Technology Services (CTS), TeleTech Customer Growth Services (CGS) and TeleTech Customer Strategy Services (CSS), Humanify or any other business unit beyond TeleTech CMS).
		

		
			Costs:  If operations personnel of Buyer (or its Affiliate) travel to India to support a program ramp for a client of Buyer (or its Affiliate) where Company will deliver the services, and get EBITDA credit related thereto, which EBITDA will include and reflect all costs associated with Buyer’s (or its Affiliate’s) operations personnel compensation, travel, lodging and stay as long as the travel is pre-approved by a Founder and the Buyer.
		

		
			Likewise, if operations personnel of Company travel to a Buyer (or its Affiliate) site to support a program ramp for a client of Buyer (or its Affiliate) or the Company where the Buyer (or its Affiliate) will deliver the services, and the Company will receive EBITDA credit related thereto (Type #4 and #5 above), which EBITDA will include and reflect all costs associated with Company’s operations personnel compensation, travel, lodging, and stay as long as the travel is pre-approved by the Buyer (or its Affiliate) and a Founder.
		

		
			For purposes of Exhibit B, Company shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of Buyer.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

		
			For purposes of Exhibits B and C, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that credit will be given to the Company to the extent Buyer, including any Affiliate of Buyer, uses Motif to pitch, source, sell services (to include showcasing its capabilities, selling, support for proposal preparation, etc.), for solutioning the services, for pricing the services, or for implementing the services (transitioning, training, quality assurance or operations) for the client engagement, with respect to any new or existing client of the Buyer (or its Affiliate) or the Company; otherwise, EBITDA attributable to services performed by Buyer, including any Affiliate of Buyer, shall not be included in the calculation of Normalized EBITDA hereunder.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

		
			EXHIBIT C
		

		
			ADJUSTED NORMALIZED EBITDA
		

		
			For purposes of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the term “Adjusted Normalized EBITDA” shall mean:
		

		
			All Normalized EBITDA excluding:
		

		
			(a)    costs of Enterprise Services (as defined) to the extent that they reduce EBITDA and not provide a direct and measurable, positive impact upon performance of the Company’s operational delivery metrics;
		

		
			(b)    costs of software licenses imposed by Buyer to the extent that they reduce EBITDA and do not provide a direct and measurable, positive impact upon performance of the Company’s operational delivery metrics; and
		

		
			(c)    integration-related costs imposed by Buyer to the extent that they reduce EBITDA and do not provide a direct and measurable, positive impact upon performance of the Company’s operational delivery metrics (e.g., costs associated with a new Oracle financial accounting software requirement, costs of a Salesforce implementation, costs of integration of Company’s proprietary Confluence platform with Buyer’s other operations); and
		

		
			(d)    any gain in Normalized EBITDA due to the conversion of the same from US GAAP to IFRS as of the Signing Date hereof; provided however that if there is actually a loss in Normalized EBITDA due to the conversion of the same from US GAAP to IFRS as of the Signing Date, then such amount shall be included in the calculation of Adjusted Normalized EBITDA; and
		

		
			(e)    any one-time transaction expenses and costs directly related to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided however that, this exclusion shall only be applicable in the event of any Closing of SHA Transactions occurring as a result of Event 2 or Event 4, if such Event 2 or Event 4 occurs on or before the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Signing Date of this Agreement; and
		

		
			(f)    any costs or damages that arise from the unilateral actions or inactions of Buyer (or Affiliate of Buyer), which have not been approved by a Founder; and
		

		
			(g)    any incremental fees, costs and expenses for annual financial statement audits of the Company required by the Buyer (or its Affiliate) that are in excess, of the fees, costs and expenses that are required from a regulatory perspective and for the operational delivery of the Company’s services.
		

		
			Merger or Combination:  The parties acknowledge that Buyer (or its Affiliates) cannot merge or otherwise combine the Company with an entity that the Buyer (or its Affiliate) has acquired or otherwise controls.  Furthermore, in the event that Buyer (or its Affiliate)
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

		
			acquires an entity that at the time of the acquisition has a client that is also a Company client (e.g., eBay), if Buyer (or its Affiliate) determines it desires to combine the services performed by Company for such client in the same master agreement with the services performed by the acquired entity for the same client, then Buyer (or its Affiliate) and Founders shall cooperate to reasonably determine how to track the EBITDA directly related to the Company client post-contractual combination. However, if the Company is no longer providing services as a result of Buyer moving the services from the Company to an entity of the Buyer or Buyer’s acquisition, the Adjusted Normalized EBITDA would be adjusted to compensate for the lost EBITDA.
		

		
			Merger of Combination of a TeleTech client and a Motif client: The parties also acknowledge that in the event that any client of Buyer (or its Affiliates) acquire/merge with a client of Motif (for example, Google acquires eBay or Facebook merges with eBay), Motif will continue to receive EBITDA credit for its client’s (eBay’s) business.
		

		
			For purposes of Exhibit C, Company shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of Buyer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

		
			EXHIBIT D

			EXHIBIT F
		

		
			Motif and TeleTech
		

		
			Governance Plan
		

		
			A.     Background
		

		
			On November __, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), TeleTech, through its subsidiary TeleTech Services Corporation (hereinafter, “TeleTech”), acquired a seventy percent (70%) interest in Motif, Inc., and the remaining thirty percent (30%) interest in Motif, Inc. is held, directly or indirectly by Kaushal Mehta and Parul Mehta (each a “Founder” and collectively, the “Founders”) each Founder holding equal ownership interests.
		

		
			From the execution of the Shareholders’ Agreement until the Closing of SHA Transactions (as such term is defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Interim Period”), the Founders and TeleTech desire to have this Governance Plan set forth the primary guiding principles relative to how the Motif, Inc. business (hereinafter “Motif”) will be operated as a part of TeleTech’s Customer Management Solutions (CMS) business unit.
		

		
			B.    Primary Governance Principles
		

		
			TeleTech and the Founders desire to set forth the primary governance principles that will guide the parties’ operation of the Motif business within the TeleTech family of companies during the Interim Period.  The Primary Governance Principles are, collectively, as follows:
		

		
			1.     TeleTech and the Founders shall approach the operation of the Motif business and the other TeleTech businesses with a focus on collaboration to achieve maximum synergies.
		

		
			2.     Although TeleTech is the primary shareholder in the Motif business, TeleTech expects that the Founders will (a) operate the Motif business in a manner that will optimize the businesses’ customers and customer relationships, employees and other resources, revenue, EBITDA and cash flow, (b) comply with all applicable laws and the reasonable policies and procedures of TeleTech and (c) act in the best interests of Motif and TeleTech since Founders will be officers of (and one Founder will serve as a director of) Motif and owe fiduciary duties to Motif and its shareholder, TeleTech.
		

		
			3.     TeleTech acknowledges that Kaushal Mehta is and will remain the primary client relationship manager with respect to all current and new Motif clients through the Interim Period, however the Founders agree that for proper succession planning purposes, following the Effective Date, Kaushal Mehta shall (a) commence introducing Arthur Nowak (and/or Marty DeGhetto and others, as determined by
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			1

		

 

		

		
			TeleTech) to all of Motif’s clients, and (b) facilitate the establishment of TeleTech personnel as additional client relationship points-of-contact, both in preparation for a seamless handover of the role as primary client relationship manager to TeleTech by the Closing Date or Kaushal Mehta’s departure from Motif (whichever first occurs).   During the Interim Period, Kaushal Mehta shall be involved or copied to the extent reasonably practicable in any TeleTech initiated communications (in any form including, without limitation emails, calls, and meetings) between a TeleTech representative and a current or new Motif client; provided that, nothing in this Governance Plan shall prohibit TeleTech from responding to communications from a current or new Motif client for any reason.
		

		
			4.     TeleTech and the Founders shall make reasonable and good faith decisions with respect to the operation of Motif’s and TeleTech’s non-Motif CMS businesses, as well as with respect to their respective clients and employees.
		

		
			5.     TeleTech may under certain circumstances require Founders to take actions on behalf of Motif, which result in an adverse impact on Adjusted Normalized EBITDA (as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement); provided that if TeleTech in good faith does require Founders to take such action, it shall do so with the understanding that Founders shall be entitled to a reversal of the equivalent amount of such adverse impact upon Adjusted Normalized EBITDA in connection with a Closing under the Shareholders’ Agreement.
		

		
			6.     TeleTech and Founders shall jointly make determinations on the placement of new business in TeleTech’s or Motif’s locations based on TeleTech’s cost information and available seat capacity, and other relevant fees and costs; provided that Founders are authorized to make reasonable and good faith decisions with respect to delivery decisions regarding the Motif current and new clients in the Philippines; and further provided that such decisions of Founders shall at all times be subject to Founders’ compliance with TeleTech policies and procedures for budget and procurement approvals for operating and capital expenses. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, TeleTech shall not be restricted in any manner should it decide to deliver services to a TeleTech client in India; provided the services are not Unique Services and are not services in a Motif Exclusive Vertical.
		

		
			7.     The parties desire to encourage (not inhibit) cross-selling (whether cross-selling Motif services to TeleTech clients, or cross-selling TeleTech services to Motif clients).
		

		
			8.     It is a TeleTech core value and the parties agree to encourage employee mobility, career development and overall engagement globally, so long as it is not materially disruptive to the business.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			2

		

 

		

		
			9.     As senior leaders of TeleTech subsidiary, the Founders shall always act in a manner necessary and desirable to protect and advance the best interests of TeleTech, acting, in all instances, in accordance with TeleTech Corporate Policies and Procedures which are incorporated in this Governance Plan by reference, including but not limited to the requirement to follow TeleTech’s client contract approval escalation protocols and its best practices in contracting (e.g. legal, pricing and contract management review and approval).
		

		
			C.    Client Relationship Engagement
		

		
			Access to Motif Clients (as defined below) by TeleTech shall start with a discussion between TeleTech and Founders.  Subject to the succession planning Primary Governance Principle set forth above, Kaushal Mehta shall be the primary point-of-contact (but not sole POC) for Motif Clients.  Any TeleTech activities regarding engagement with Motif Clients, including cross-selling activities, shall be coordinated through Kaushal Mehta in advance, and the parties shall work cooperatively with each other in these activities.
		

		
			Access to clients of TeleTech by Motif, Inc. shall start with a discussion between TeleTech and Founders. Any Founders’ activities regarding cross-selling to TeleTech clients shall be coordinated through Arthur Nowak (with respect to clients located in APAC), Judi Hand, TeleTech’s Chief Revenue Officer, for clients elsewhere, or other authorized TeleTech personnel (as appropriate) in advance, and Founders shall work cooperatively with TeleTech in these activities.
		

		
			As of the Effective Date, the clients of the Motif business are those third-parties identified on Appendix 1 attached hereto (collectively, “Motif Clients”). TeleTech will not solicit or otherwise interfere with the current business relationships between Motif and the Motif clients without the consent of the Founders, and if such interference shall have occurred, then TeleTech shall reverse any material adverse impact upon the Adjusted Normalized EBITDA of Motif resulting from such action by TeleTech.
		

		
			For all new clients (new logos) that are consummated during the Interim Period as a direct result of a referral to the Founders or Motif’s sales efforts (other than from TeleTech or its Affiliates), such new clients shall be deemed Motif Clients for all purposes hereunder.  Otherwise, for all new clients (new logos) that are consummated during the Interim Period as a direct result of TeleTech’s lead generation such new client shall be deemed TeleTech clients for all purposes hereunder.
		

		
			As of the Effective Date, the parties acknowledge the following overlapping client relationships:
		

		
			     TeleTech’s client is Rakuten Kobo, which is also a Company client;
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			3

		

 

		

		
			     TeleTech’s client is Booking.com, which is a subsidiary of Company’s client Priceline.com; and
		

		
			     TeleTech’s client is Experian, which acquired Company’s client, 41st Parameter.
		

		
			D.    Employee Recruitment
		

		
			Each of TeleTech and Motif has employees in the Philippines, and during the Interim Period, neither TeleTech nor Motif shall solicit, recruit or otherwise interfere in the employee/employer relationship of the other party.  Exceptions to the prohibition on solicitation shall be addressed by the Delegates (as defined below) if the underlying issue cannot be resolved by the applicable Motif and TeleTech management.
		

		
			Notwithstanding the foregoing, TeleTech and Founders agree to establish and encourage policies and platforms that promote employee mobility and thereby enhance employee engagement.  TeleTech and Founders acknowledge that from time-to-time during the Interim Period there may be a need for TeleTech to recruit employees from Motif locations to work in roles in non-Motif locations in TeleTech’s CMS business unit, and the same may be true that there may be a need for Motif to recruit employees from TeleTech locations to work in roles in Motif locations.  In either case, if the respective TeleTech and Motif managers cannot resolve such personnel issues, then the issues shall be addressed by the Delegates and otherwise subject to the dispute provisions stated herein.
		

		
			E.     Integration Activities
		

		
			As of the Effective Date, TeleTech shall commence, in collaboration with the Founders, the integration of the Motif operations into TeleTech. Certain support functions such as Finance and Accounting (F&A) personnel within Motif may be replaced by similar functions within TeleTech’s F&A organization to take advantage of centers of excellence and economies of scale.  TeleTech will make reasonable efforts to evaluate whether there are roles within the TeleTech organization for any displaced Motif employees resulting from such integration and reorganization.  All costs to support Motif F&A, when such F&A functions are moved to TeleTech F&A personnel will be charged back to Motif as appropriate without adversely impacting its Adjusted Normalized EBITDA (for clarity, this means that upon a Closing of SHA Transactions under the Shareholders’ Agreement, Adjusted Normalized EBITDA shall be increased by removal of all such charged back costs).
		

		
			F.     Effect of TeleTech’s Noncompliance
		

		
			Consistent with the Shareholders’ Agreement, if TeleTech violates or does not comply with this Plan, the sole remedy of Founders shall be an adjustment to Adjusted Normalized EBITDA for purposes of determining the Purchase Price under the Shareholders’ Agreement, but the adjustment shall be solely to the extent of the damages that are directly caused by TeleTech’s breach or violation of this Plan (but excluding all consequential and indirect damages).
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			4

		

 

		

		
			G.     Dispute Resolution
		

		
			In the event of a dispute arising between TeleTech and the Founders relating to, or arising from, this Governance Plan that cannot be resolved by the applicable management of the personnel involved, the dispute shall be escalated to the Delegates as follows:
		

		
			The Delegate(s) of the party claiming a dispute or a default (the “Initiating Party”) shall provide written notice (email is acceptable) to the Delegate(s) of the other party (the “Responding Party”) reasonably describing the claimed dispute and the nature of the remedial act or conduct requested of the Responding Party to correct, alleviate or cure the dispute.
		

		
			Within five (5) business days after receipt of the written dispute notice by the Responding Party, both parties shall use their reasonable efforts to co-operatively resolve the dispute in a manner that is consistent with the Primary Governance Principles (set forth above), and if necessary a meeting shall be held by phone (or in person when possible) between the Delegates of both the Initiating Party and Responding Party.
		

		
			If the dispute is not resolved by the Delegates within five (5) business days after receipt of the dispute notice, then the dispute shall be referred to the Governance Panel for resolution.  The Governance Panel shall determine its own procedures for the resolution of the dispute.       Decisions of the Governance Panel may only be made by majority agreement of the members of the Governance Panel.  Any decision of the Governance Panel shall be binding on the TeleTech and Founders.  If the decision of the Governance Panel has a material adverse impact upon the Adjusted Normalized EBITDA, Founders’ remedy is the reversal of such adverse impact by TeleTech.
		

		
			H.     Delegates and Governance Panel
		

		
			For purposes of this Governance Plan, the “Delegates” shall be comprised of the following:
		

		
			     Arthur Nowak
		

		
			     Kaushal Mehta
		

		
			     Parul Mehta
		

		
			For purposes of this Governance Plan, the “Governance Panel” shall be initially comprised of the following:
		

		
			     Kaushal Mehta, Motif’s President;
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			5

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04 and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Loans in Dollars may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein. Revolving Loans in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans.
(a)    Each Revolving Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Revolving Loans as the same Type shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x) 12:00 noon, New York time, three Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of the initial Credit Extension on the Closing Date) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, (y) 12:00 noon, New York time, four Business Days prior to the requested date of each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in a Foreign Currency or (z) 12:00 noon, New York time, on the requested date of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available applicable Commitments). Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, an aggregate amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitments).

-36-

(b)    Each Revolving Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i)    whether the Borrower is requesting a new Borrowing, a conversion of existing Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or the continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period;
(ii)    the principal of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued;
(iii)    the applicable Agreed Currency;
(iv)    the Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed or as to which existing Revolving Loans are to be converted, and if applicable the Revolving Loan from which the requested Revolving Loan will be converted or continued;
(v)    the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, which shall be a Business Day;
(vi)    if the Borrower is requesting a new Borrowing, the location and number of the bank account of the Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed;
(vii)    in the case of a Borrowing in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 
(viii)    in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Revolving Loan in a Revolving Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made or continued as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans (after converting, if necessary, the Borrowing into Dollars using the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on such date). Any such automatic conversion shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Revolving Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(c)    Following receipt of a Revolving Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (or 2:00 p.m. with respect to Base Rate Loans), New York time, on 

-37-

the Business Day specified in the applicable Revolving Loan Notice. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect in any manner the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (or 4:00 p.m. with respect to Base Rate Loans), New York time, make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of SunTrust Bank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.  
(d)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the respective Interest Periods related to such Loans.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in SunTrust Bank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(f)    After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
2.01    Letters of Credit.
(a)    The Letter of Credit Commitment.
(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension after giving effect to such L/C Credit Extension, (1) the aggregate Revolving Credit 

-38-

Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Commitment, or (3) the L/C Exposure would exceed the L/C Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(ii)    No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
(B)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(C)    the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date, unless all Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(D)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer; or
(E)    such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of any other type of Letter of Credit, or is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.
(iii)    No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

-39-

(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.
(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the name of the account party (which shall be the Borrower) and the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require.
(ii)    Promptly after its receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, but in any event no later than two Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date (or such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion), the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the applicable L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount 

-40-

of such Letter of Credit. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, on the Closing Date, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Existing Letter of Credit.
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, any L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer and/or the Borrower to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued and have a final expiry date that is not later than the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date.  Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the seventh (7th) Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no L/C Issuer shall have any obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.
(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)    Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor 

-41-

Date”), the L/C Account Party shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If such L/C Account Party or the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date for which the L/C Account Party shall be the Borrower and in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Loan Notice). Any notice given by any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)    Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the L/C Account Party in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the L/C Account Party shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate that would be applicable to Base Rate Loans. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)    Until a Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse any L/C Issuer for any amount 

-42-

drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
(v)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse any L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition including, without limitation, the existence (or alleged existence) of any Material Adverse Effect, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the L/C Account Party or the Borrower to reimburse any L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of such L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s funding in respect of the Base Rate Loan or an L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the L/C Account Party, the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative 

-43-

Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the L/C Account Party or the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

-44-

(f)    Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Agent-Related Person nor any L/C Issuer or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to the use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any L/C Issuer or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)    Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been converted into a Borrowing under the terms hereof or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Exposure (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount).
(h)    Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, performance under Letters of Credit by such L/C Issuer, its correspondents, and the beneficiaries thereof will be governed by the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) (or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued), and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law of this Agreement set forth in Section 10.16.

-45-

(i)    Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Rate for Letters of Credit multiplied by the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit. Such fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date. If there is any change in such Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount of each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(j)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower and the respective L/C Account Party under a Letter of Credit jointly and severally shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee in an amount (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, a per annum rate equal to 0.125% (or such lower fee as may be agreed by such L/C Issuer) of the amount of such Letter of Credit, due and payable upon the issuance thereof, and (ii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, a per annum rate equal to 0.125% (or such lower fee as may be agreed by such L/C Issuer) on the daily maximum amount available to be drawn thereunder, due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Subfacility Expiration Date. In addition, the Borrower and the respective L/C Account Party under a Letter of Credit jointly and severally shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the applicable L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k)    Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
2.02    Prepayments.
(a)    The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (A) not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (B) not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining outstanding amount of such Loan); (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining outstanding amount of such Loan); and (iv) any prepayment of Swingline Loans shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.14, or, in the case of (ii), (iii) and (iv) if a lesser amount, the remaining principal amount of the applicable 

-46-

Loans in any outstanding Borrowing. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(b)    If at any time (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, other than as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, or (ii) if, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the sum of the Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure denominated in Foreign Currency as of the most recent Calculation Date exceeds 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall immediately repay their respective Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Article III.
2.03    Optional Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments to an amount not less than the Revolving Credit Exposure; provided that (a) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amount as a penalty in connection with any such reduction or termination of the Commitments, except as required by Section 3.05 due to any repayment of Loans arising from such reduction or termination, (b) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, and (c) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of reduction or termination of the Commitments. Once reduced or terminated in accordance with this Section 2.05, the Commitments may not be increased except in accordance with Section 2.15. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Any such reduction in the Commitments below the Swingline Sublimit, the L/C Sublimit and the Foreign Currency Sublimit shall result in a dollar for dollar reduction in the Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Sublimit, the L/C Sublimit and the Foreign Currency Sublimit, as appropriate. The Commitment of a Lender may also be terminated under the provisions of Section 10.15.
2.04    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Loans then outstanding.
(b)    The Borrower shall repay each Swingline Borrowing on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Borrowing and (ii) the Swingline Termination Date.

-47-

2.05    Interest.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans, or such other rate as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower shall agree to, with respect thereto.
(b)    If any Event of Default exists under clause (a) of Article VIII or after acceleration, the Borrower shall, and for all other Events of Default shall at the option of the Required Lenders, pay interest on the principal amount of all of its outstanding Obligations (including, without limitation, an increase in the fees under Section 2.03(i) with respect to Letters of Credit) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate applicable thereto to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)    Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the maturity date of such Loan, which shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and on the Swingline Termination Date.
(d)    Interest on each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.06    Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:
(a)    Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of all Commitments, an unused commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate set forth under the column “Applicable Rate for Commitment Fee” multiplied by the actual daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender during the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date. For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure, but not Swingline Exposure, of such Lender. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on January 31, 2018 and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met.

-48-

(b)    Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, for their own account in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.
(c)    Lenders’ Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the upfront fees agreed upon in writing by the Borrower and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as contemplated by the Fee Letter. The upfront fee paid to each Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.
(d)    Defaulting Lender Commitment Fees.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to commitment fees accruing with respect to its Commitment during such period pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section or letter of credit fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.03(i) (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (x) to the extent that a portion of the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 3.10, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such L/C Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable L/C Issuer. The pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.12 shall automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this subsection.
2.07    Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans and commitment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all other types of fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, except where market practice is on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
2.08    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Revolving Credit Exposure. The accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be treated as part of the Register.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the records as in the Register shall govern absent manifest error.

-49-

(b)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. The accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be treated as part of the Register.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the records as in the Register shall govern absent manifest error.
(c)    This Agreement evidences the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and is being executed as a “noteless” credit agreement. However, at the request of any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note for each Commitment of such Lender payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment permitted hereunder) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.
2.09    Payments Generally.
(a)    All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made in the applicable Agreed Currency without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If the Borrower does not, or is unable for any reason to, effect payment of a Loan to the Lenders in the Agreed Currency or if the Borrower shall default in the payment when due of any payment in such Agreed Currency, the Lenders may, at their option, require such payment to be made to the Lenders in the Dollar Equivalent of such Agreed Currency determined in accordance with Section 10.22. With respect to any amount due and payable in Agreed Currency other than Dollars, the Borrower shall hold the Lenders harmless from any losses, if any, that are incurred by the Lenders arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to such Agreed Currency between the date such payment became due and the date of payment thereof (other than losses incurred by any Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order).
(b)    Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to the Administrative Agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses (including Attorney Costs and 

-50-

amounts payable under Article III) then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; (ii) second, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders and all fees and reimbursable expenses of the L/C Issuers then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers based on their respective pro rata shares of such fees and expenses; (iii) third, to interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; and (iv) fourth, to the payment of principal of the Loans, unreimbursed L/C Borrowings and obligations under Hedging Arrangements with a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender then due hereunder or thereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Borrowings and obligations under such Hedging Arrangements then due to such parties.
(d)    Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
(i)    if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in the applicable Agreed Currency in immediately available funds, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate as in effect from time to time or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the greater of the Base Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of loans denominated in a Foreign Currency; and 
(ii)    if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in the applicable Agreed Currency in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate as in effect from time to time or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, including, without limitation, the Overnight 

-51-

Foreign Currency Rate in the case of loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, until the second Business Day after such demand and thereafter at the greater of the Base Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation including, without limitation, the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of loans denominated in a Foreign Currency. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount within two Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(e)    If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(f)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Loan or purchase its participation.
(g)    Subject to Section 3.09, nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.10    Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of any Revolving Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Exposure or Swingline Exposure held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Exposure or Swingline Exposure held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess 

-52-

payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.12 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
2.11    Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower, from time to time from the Closing Date to the Swingline Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the lesser of (a) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (b) the difference between the Aggregate Commitments and the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure; provided, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.12    Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Etc.
(a)    The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Swingline Notice”) prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the requested date of each Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the principal amount of such Swingline Loan, (ii) the date of such Swingline Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loan should be credited. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of each Swingline Notice. Each Swingline Loan shall accrue interest at the Base Rate or any other interest rate as agreed between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender and shall have an Interest Period (which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”) as agreed between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender. The aggregate principal amount of each Swingline Loan shall be not less than $100,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars in immediately 

-53-

available funds at the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Swingline Notice not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(b)    The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), give a Revolving Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) to make Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.02, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan.
(c)    If for any reason a Base Rate Loan may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof on the date that such Base Rate Loan should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. If such Swingline Loan bears interest at a rate other than the Base Rate, such Swingline Loan shall automatically become a Base Rate Loan on the effective date of any such participation and interest shall become payable on demand.
(d)    Each Lender’s obligation to make a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.14(b) or to purchase the participating interests pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever including, without limitation, the existence (or alleged existence) of any Material Adverse Effect, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof (i) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (ii) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Lender’s participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to fund pursuant to this Section, until such amount has been purchased in full.
2.13    Increase in Commitments; Additional Lenders.
(a)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the 

-54-

Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), propose to increase the Aggregate Commitments by an amount not to exceed $350,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Additional Commitment Amount”), provided, however, that at no time shall the Aggregate Commitments exceed $1,650,000,000. Each Lender shall have the right for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount up to its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Commitment Amount. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender. Any Lender that fails to respond to such notice shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
(b)    If any Lender shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Borrower may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Additional Commitment Amount.
(c)    An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a supplement or joinder in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrower, and by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, a certificate of the Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, certifying that (x) at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, any such proposed increase, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (y) all representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V (but excluding the representation set forth in Section 5.05(b)) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (z) since October 31, 2016, there has been no change which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitment and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
(d)    Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, each Additional Lender shall automatically be deemed a Lender for all purposes hereunder, the Aggregate Commitments shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Commitments added 

-55-

through such agreement and Schedule 2.01 shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Commitments.
(e)    Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 that is not pro rata among all Lenders, (i) within five Business Days, in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay its Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article IV, the Borrower shall reborrow Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Loans are held by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase and (ii) effective upon such increase, the amount of the participations held by each Lender in each Letter of Credit then outstanding shall automatically be adjusted such that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Lenders shall hold participations in each such Letter of Credit in proportion to their respective Commitments.
2.14    Extension of Commitment Termination Date.
(a)    Subject to subclause (c), from time to time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but at least 45 days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date then in effect, the Borrower may, by written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, request that the scheduled Maturity Date then in effect be extended by one calendar year, effective as of a date selected by the Borrower (the “Extension Effective Date”); provided, that (i) the Borrower may make only one such request in any calendar year and no more than two such requests during the term of this Agreement and (ii) the Extension Effective Date shall be at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, after the date such extension request is received by the Administrative Agent (the “Extension Request Date”).   Upon receipt of the extension request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request.  If a Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to so extend the Maturity Date applicable to its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no later than 15 days after the Extension Request Date (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend the Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender’s Commitment and Revolving Loans (and such agreement shall be irrevocable until the Extension Effective Date).  Subject to Section 2.16(b), the Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Maturity Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Maturity Date then in effect for such Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Maturity Date the Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all accrued and unpaid fees owing to such Declining Lender under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders.  Upon receipt by the Extending Lenders of notice of the Declining Lenders (the “Increase Request Date”), each Extending Lender may offer 

-56-

to increase its respective Commitment by an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments, and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of its offer to so increase its Commitment no later than 15 days after the Increase Request Date (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree), and such offer shall be irrevocable until the Extension Effective Date.  To the extent the aggregate amount of additional Commitments that the Extending Lenders offer pursuant to the preceding sentence exceeds the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments, such additional Commitments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.  To the extent the aggregate amount of Commitments that the Extending Lenders have so offered to extend is less than the aggregate amount of Commitments that the Borrower has so requested to be extended, the Borrower shall have the right to seek additional Commitments from other Persons.  Once the Borrower has obtained offers to provide the full amount of any Declining Lender’s Commitments (whether from Extending Lenders or other Persons), the Borrower shall have the right but not the obligation to require any Declining Lender to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations (including all Commitments and Revolving Loans) under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the Extending Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an Extending Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “New Lender”) become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 10.07, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment shall be effective on the date on or before such Extension Effective Date as may be specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the respective New Lenders and Extending Lenders, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent.
(c)    If, but only if, Extending Lenders and New Lenders, as the case may be, have agreed to provide Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such Extension Effective Date and the conditions precedent in Section 4.01(a)(v) and Section 4.01(a)(x) are met as of the Extension Effective Date, the Maturity Date in effect with respect to the Commitments of such Extending Lenders and New Lenders (but not other Lenders that do not elect to extend) shall be extended by one calendar year.
(d)    This Section 2.16 shall supersede any conflicting provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 10.01.

ARTICLE III.     
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01    Taxes.
(a)    For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and 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 making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
(c)    In addition, without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section but without duplication, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)    The Borrower shall, without duplication, indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any (i) Indemnified Taxes paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and (ii) 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. In the event that such Indemnified Taxes referred to in clause (i) shall exceed $100,000, the Recipient subject to such Indemnified Taxes shall (x) notify the Borrower of such imposition or assertion and (y) the Borrower, solely at its own expense, may cause such Recipient to contest the imposition or assertion of such Indemnified Taxes as to which there exists no reasonable basis. The Borrower shall fully indemnify such Recipient for all costs (including any liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses) incurred by such Recipient in connection with any such contest to the extent necessary to preserve such Recipient’s after-tax yield. Nothing contained in this subsection (A) obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates) to disclose to the Borrower any of its tax records or materials relating thereto, (B) shall interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates) to arrange its taxation and financial affairs in whatever manner it deems appropriate, or (C) obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates) to claim relief from taxation on its corporate profits or, subject to clause (y) above, to claim any credits, deductions or other relief otherwise available to it with respect to its tax affairs. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the applicable Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case 

-58-

of a Recipient other than the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(e)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)    Tax Forms.
(i)    Any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Recipient is legally entitled to do so, that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
(ii)    Any Recipient that is a Foreign Person and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Recipient that is a Foreign Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (w) on or prior to the date such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection, and (z) from time to time upon the reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)    if such Recipient is claiming eligibility for 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, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any successor form thereto, 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, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any successor form thereto, establishing 

-59-

an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(B)    duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received by such Recipient are effectively connected with such Recipient’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States;
(C)    if such Recipient is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any successor form thereto, together with a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) upon which such Recipient certifies that (1) such Recipient is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) such Recipient is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (3) such Recipient is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (4) the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by such Recipient; or
(D)    if such Recipient is not the beneficial owner of any amount payable to such Recipient pursuant to any Loan Document, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or any successor form thereto, accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any successor form thereto, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
(iii)    Each Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law or form instructions to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iv)    Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect and such Recipient is not legally entitled to provide 

-60-

an updated form or certification, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to update such form or certification.
(g)    If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA, and (if applicable) to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
3.02    Illegality. If any Change in Law shall, after the date hereof, make it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to fund any Loans in any Foreign Currency, or if any such circumstance materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore Dollar market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to affected Eurocurrency Rate 

-61-

Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans in Dollars, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
3.03    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore Dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly, but in any event not later than the first day of the Interest Period related to such Loan (or the conversion or continuation thereof, as the case may be), notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Revolving Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a)    If any Lender determines that as a result of a Change in Law there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding, converting, continuing into or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern) or changes in the Eurocurrency Reserve Rate), (ii) Excluded Taxes, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(b)    If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Parent Company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has the effect of reducing the 

-62-

rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Parent Company, if any, as a consequence of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Parent Company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s Parent Company for any such reduction suffered with respect to its Obligations.
(c)    Without duplication of any payment required under Section 3.07, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required pursuant to regulations issued by any central bank, monetary authority, the Board, the European Central Bank or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or of the jurisdiction of such currency or any jurisdiction in which Loans in such currency are made to which banks in such jurisdiction are subject for any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund loans in such currency or by reference to which interest rates applicable to loans in such currency are determined to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any emergency, supplemental, special or other marginal reserves) with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan to the Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive) (but excluding any such costs arising from changes in the Eurocurrency Reserve Rate), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
3.05    Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual cost or expense (other than lost profits) incurred by it in connection with the Borrower’s Loans as a result of:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b)    any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c)    any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16(b) or Section 10.15; 

-63-

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained as well as foreign exchange losses, based on customary funding and foreign exchange hedging arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any Lender any amount arising under subsection (a) to the extent that such amount exceeds the amount, if any, by which (i) the present value of the additional interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the applicable Loan had not been prematurely continued, converted, paid or prepaid exceeds (ii) the present value of the interest which would have been receivable by such Lender as a result of placing the amount so received by such Lender as a consequence of the continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of such Loan on deposit in the applicable offshore Dollar interbank market for a term equal to the number of days remaining in the Interest Period related to such Loan. For purposes of calculating the present value of any interest payments referred in the immediately preceding sentence, such interest payments shall be discounted at a rate equal to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate in effect on the date two Business Days prior to the date the Borrower continues, converts, pays or prepays any Loan in the manner described in subsection (a), and (y) the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any special, incidental or consequential damages.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore Dollar (or other Agreed Currency, as applicable) interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06    Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.
(a)    A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for computing the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be provided to the Borrower and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b)    Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.07, the Borrower may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.15.
3.07    Additional Interest Costs.
(a)    Additional Interest. If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve asset ratios, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the Bank of England or the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Eurocurrency Reserve Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any currency other than Dollars, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans subject to such requirements (but without duplication of any payment required under Section 3.04(c)), additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum 

-64-

specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.
(b)    Determination of Amounts Due. Any additional interest owed pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender and notified to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a certificate setting forth such additional interest at least 15 days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
(c)    Limitation on Amounts Due. Subject to Section 3.09(b), failure or delay on the part of any Lender on any occasion to demand additional interest pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such additional interest on any subsequent occasion.
3.08    Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations (and each Lenders’ and the Administrative Agent’s obligation of notice) under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the other Obligations.
3.09    Change in Lending Office; Limitation on Increased Costs.
(a)    Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.07 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion; provided that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in such Sections.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 3.04, Section 3.06 or Section 3.07, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate the Lenders for amounts arising under Section 3.04, Section 3.06 or Section 3.07 to the extent such amounts arose during (i) any time or period commencing not more than 6 months prior to the date on which such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such Lender proposes to demand compensation under Section 3.04, Section 3.06 or Section 3.07 and (ii) any time or period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of any statute, regulation or other basis, such Lender could not have known that such amount might arise or accrue.
3.10    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
(i)    the L/C Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, 

-65-

automatically be reallocated (effective no later than one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that such Lender has become a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders; provided that (x) such reallocation does not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation; and 
(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the L/C Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of any Defaulting Lender cannot be reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above for any reason, the Borrower will, not later than two (2) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the L/C Issuers and/or the Swingline Lender), (x) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender in respect of such L/C Exposure or such Swingline Exposure, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of the L/C Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender, (y) in the case of such Swingline Exposure, prepay and/or Cash Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (z) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; 
provided that neither any such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto nor any such Cash Collateralization or reduction will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender.
(b)    If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that any Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions set forth therein, the L/C Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and such Lender will purchase at par such portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing). If the L/C Exposure or the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender has been Cash Collateralized, the Administrative Agent will promptly return such cash collateral to the Borrower; 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; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting 

-66-

Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer will be required to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, and the Swingline Lender will not be required to fund any Swingline Loans, as applicable, unless it is satisfied that 100% of the related L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure after giving effect thereto is fully covered or eliminated by application of the following provisions in order:
(i)    first, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Exposure and the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as provided in subsection (a)(i) of this Section (and to the full extent permitted by such subsection);
(ii)    second, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, without limiting the provisions of subsection (a)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower Cash Collateralizes its reimbursement obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit or such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or such Swingline Loan, or the Borrower makes other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and 
(iii)    third, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower agrees that the face amount of such requested Letter of Credit or the principal amount of such requested Swingline Loan will be reduced by an amount equal to the unreallocated, non-Cash Collateralized portion thereof as to which such Defaulting Lender would otherwise be liable, in which case the obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such Letter of Credit or such Swingline Loan will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, be on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.12 will be deemed adjusted to reflect this provision; provided that the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reduction.

ARTICLE V.     
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
5.01    Existence, Qualification. (a) The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and (b) the Borrower is in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the failure to be in good standing would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.02    Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and each Guarantor of each Loan Document (a) are within its corporate or analogous powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or analogous action, and (c) do not contravene (i) the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s Organization Documents, (ii) any 

-70-

applicable Laws or (iii) any material contractual restriction binding on the Borrower or such Guarantor.
5.03    Governmental Authorization. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any Loan Document.
5.04    Binding Effect. This Agreement is, and each other Loan Document when delivered hereunder will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and any Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms except that such enforcement may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws.
5.05    Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change.
(a)    The Audited Financial Statements, copies of which have been furnished to the Lenders, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2016 and the results of the operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
(b)    Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no change in such conditions or operations that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.06    Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.06, on the date of this Agreement there is no pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened action, investigation or proceeding affecting the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries before any court, Governmental Authority or arbitrator which if adversely determined could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.07    ERISA Compliance. No Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Single Employer Plan has, during this five-year period, complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. There is no outstanding Lien under ERISA or the Code with respect to any Single Employer Plan. The ratio of the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund the Plan as determined by the Plan’s actuary) to the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits is not higher than such ratio as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan with respect to which there is an outstanding liability, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the events, acts or failures to act described in this Section 5.07 shall be 

-71-

deemed to result in a breach of a representation or warranty unless it could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.08    Real Property. To the Borrower’s knowledge, each of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this Section 5.08 is true and correct with respect to each parcel or real property owned or operated by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Properties”), except to the extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so true and correct would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:
(a)    The Properties do not contain, and have not previously contained, in, on, or under such Properties, including without limitation, the soil and groundwater thereunder, any Hazardous Materials in concentrations which violate Environmental Laws.
(b)    The Properties and all operations and facilities at the Properties are in compliance with all Environmental Laws, and there is no Hazardous Materials contamination or violation of any Environmental Law which could interfere with the continued operation of any of the Properties or impair the fair saleable value of any thereof other than Hazardous Materials found in properties of similar age and type (e.g. the potential for asbestos containing material or lead paint present in compliance with Environmental Laws).
(c)    Neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has received any complaint, notice of violation, alleged violation, investigation or advisory action or of potential liability or of potential responsibility regarding environmental protection matters or permit compliance with regard to the Properties, nor is the Borrower aware that any Governmental Authority is contemplating delivery to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of any such notice.
(d)    Hazardous Materials have not been generated, treated, stored, disposed of, at, on or under any of the Properties, nor have any Hazardous Materials been transferred from the Properties to any other location, in either case, in a manner that violates any Environmental Law.
(e)    There are no governmental, administrative actions or judicial proceedings pending or contemplated under any Environmental Laws to which the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements, outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to any of the Properties.
5.09    Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.
(a)    Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is generally engaged in the business of extending credit or in the business of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and the Borrowings hereunder will not be used for the purpose of carrying Margin Stock in a manner which (i) would violate or result in a violation of Regulations T, U or X, or (ii) would constitute a Hostile Acquisition involving Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter of Credit, not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the assets of either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a 

-72-

consolidated basis will be Margin Stock, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness.
(b)    None of the Borrower, any Person controlling the Borrower, or any Restricted Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
5.10    Outstanding Loans. The aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and other tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state and other taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except (a) those the failure to so file or pay would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, and (b) those required, levied or imposed by foreign governments if, in the opinion of the chief financial officer of the Borrower, the filing or payment thereof shall no longer be advantageous to the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries in the conduct of their business and the failure to so file or pay would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed tax assessment against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.12    Intellectual Property; License, Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed, or otherwise has the right, to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and other intellectual property necessary to its business, and, except as set forth on Schedule 5.06, the use thereof by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any other Person, except in each case where a failure to have such rights or such infringement would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.13    Disclosure. No statement, information, report, representation, or warranty made by the Borrower or any Guarantor in any Loan Document or furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with any Loan Document when made contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect. This representation does not apply to estimates or projections of future performance, which the Borrower represents were or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation.
5.14    Solvency. Immediately following the making of each Borrowing and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Borrowing, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will be Solvent.
5.15    Anti-Money Laundering Laws/Patriot Act. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) have conducted and will continue to conduct their business operations in

(g)    Judgments. A final judgment or order known to the Borrower for the payment of money in excess of $75,000,000, or its equivalent in another applicable currency (exclusive of the amount thereof covered by insurance, provided that the insurance carrier has acknowledged coverage), or any other final non-monetary judgment otherwise having a Material Adverse Effect, shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and not paid and either (i) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced upon such judgment or order and such proceedings are not being contested in good faith or (ii) a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order or similar relief, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect with respect to such judgment or order for any period of 30 consecutive days; provided that the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above, as to such a judgment or order which is rendered by any foreign Governmental Authority in an amount not exceeding the Dollar Equivalent of $75,000,000 and which has not been confirmed in any way by any Governmental Authority in the United States shall not give rise to any Event of Default under this subsection (g) if the Lenders shall have been furnished (promptly after the Borrower shall have knowledge of the commencement of any such proceedings or any such 30 day period and promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any material change in such circumstances) with a copy (certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) of a resolution adopted by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors of the Borrower to the effect that, having considered the advice of counsel, it has been determined to be in the best interests of the Borrower to permit such circumstances to exist and directing the appropriate officers of the Borrower to notify the Lenders of all material developments relating to such judgment or order (including any significant modification of such determination); or
(h)    ERISA.

-90-

expected to subject the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any tax, penalty or other liabilities in the aggregate in excess of $50,000,000; or
(i)    Invalidity of Loan Documents. Any material provision of this Agreement or any material provision of any other Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than the agreement of all the Lenders or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect, or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; or the Borrower or any Guarantor denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any Loan Document; or

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary described in subsection (f) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) declare the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be terminated; (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; (iii) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and (iv) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in subsection (f) above with respect to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary, the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
ARTICLE IX.     
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
9.01    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9.09) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship 

-91-

with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b)    Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuers with respect thereto; provided, however, that each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken, omissions of or suffered by any L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
9.02    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.03    Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
9.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, 

-92-

certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders if applicable and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders or all the Lenders if applicable otherwise determine, the Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of the Lenders.
(b)    For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
9.05    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
9.06    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that neither any L/C Issuer nor any Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative 

-93-

Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, neither any L/C Issuer nor the Administrative Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
9.07    Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and each Agent-Related Person while acting for or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in such capacity (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata based on the applicable Pro Rata Shares (at the time the claim was asserted), and hold harmless the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and each Agent-Related Person while acting for or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in such capacity from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Administrative Agent or any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction); provided, further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders if applicable shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.
9.08    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. SunTrust Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting 

-94-

or other business with the Borrower and its Affiliates as though SunTrust Bank were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, SunTrust Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or any such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, SunTrust Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include SunTrust Bank in its individual capacity.
9.09    Successor Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders, with a copy to Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, the appointment of which successor administrative agent shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders.
(b)    Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.03 and 10.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(c)    In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and if any Default has arisen from a failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 3.10(a), then any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as an L/C Issuer or as Swingline Lender, as the case may be, effective at the close of business New York, New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice).
9.10    Other Agents, Lead Arrangers. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Joint Book Manager”, “Joint Lead Arranger” or “Co-Syndication Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty 

-95-

under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
9.11    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.
9.12    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
(a)    In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Outstanding Amount shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or Outstanding Amounts and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.
(b)    Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the 

-96-

Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.04 and Section 10.05.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and amounts payable to such Lender hereunder may not be permanently reduced, without the consent of such Lender (other than reductions in fees and interest in which such reduction does not disproportionately affect such Lender). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
10.03    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial 

-99-

exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
10.04    Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such non-duplicative costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Borrower shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender under clause (b) of this section unless there is a reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest or the employment of separate counsel has been authorized by the Borrower (such authorization not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed beyond a period of three (3) Business Days). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.
10.05    Indemnification by the Borrower.
(a)    Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, advisors, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers or directors; (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent or the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or imposed by the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any other Person against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, the Commitments or the use or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Credit Extension; (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in subsection (a) or (b) above; (d) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, 

-100-

demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not arising out of the negligence of an Indemnitee, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding; and (e) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof, by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower (i) for any claim caused by its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or that of any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, advisors, agents, or attorneys-in-fact; as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment, or (ii) for any loss or Indemnified Liabilities asserted against it by another Indemnitee, so long as such loss or Indemnified Liability does not involve an act or omission by either the Borrower or any of its affiliates and are not brought against such Indemnitee in such capacities as an agent, arranger, or similar role under this Agreement.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. In no case shall the Borrower be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in respect of any indirect or special or consequential damages, except to the extent any such damages are paid or payable by an Indemnitee.
(b)    The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if any investigation, litigation, suit, action, or proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against it or any other Indemnitee, or any remedial, removal or response action is requested of it or any other Indemnitee for which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall, to the extent permitted or practicable, promptly notify the Borrower thereof in writing; provided that any failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to provide such notice shall not be deemed a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender to seek indemnity from the Borrower in respect of any such investigation, litigation, suit, proceeding or action.   The Borrower shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Indemnitees in respect of any single action, suit or proceeding unless any Indemnitee is advised by its counsel that there may be defenses available to it which are not available to the other Indemnitees or that there is a reasonable likelihood of a conflict between its interests and those of the other Indemnitees, or unless the employment of separate counsel has been authorized by the Borrower (such authorization not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed beyond a period of three (3) Business Days); provided that no such authorization shall be required upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default to the extent the retainage of such separate counsel is otherwise reasonable under the circumstances.
10.06    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment 

-101-

had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
10.07    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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Exposure or Swingline Loans at the time owing to it)); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and in minimum increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) in the case of any assignment of a Commitment unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 10.04 and 10.05); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not 

-102-

comply with this subsection (b) of 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 subsection (d) of this Section. Upon its receipt of a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date thereof.
(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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 any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities that are in the business of making and/or investing in commercial loans (other than to Disqualified Institutions) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Exposure owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant or (ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant (other than interest accruing hereunder at the “Default Rate”). Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations 

-103-

under any Loan Document) except (i) 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 or (ii) to the Borrower upon its request. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Agreement than the Lenders would have been entitled to receive under similar circumstances, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Person if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 3.01(f) and 3.09 as though it were a Lender.
(g)    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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)    If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in Section 10.07(b)), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such tenth Business Day (except that there shall be no deemed consent with respect to assignment to a Disqualified Institution).
(i)    As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Eligible Assignee” means (a) a Lender; (b) an Affiliate of a Lender; (c) an Approved Fund; and (d) any other Person (other than a natural Person) approved by (1) the Administrative Agent, (2) the L/C Issuers, and (3) unless an Event of Default specified in clauses (a) or (f) of Article VIII has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however, that no Disqualified Institution and none of any Defaulting Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be an Eligible Assignee.
“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural Person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.
“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

-104-

(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time SunTrust Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, SunTrust Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of SunTrust Bank as L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender. SunTrust Bank shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).
10.08    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) as is required in the good faith view of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower; (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates, (j) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, or (k) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Lender or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Information may not be disclosed in violation of any applicable Law. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or its representatives relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 

-105-

any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that no party hereto (nor any employee, representative or other agent of any party) may disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other information to the extent that such disclosure would result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws; and provided, further, that, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.
10.09    Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding payroll deposits and deposits held in a bona fide custodial or fiduciary capacity for Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
10.10    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart signature page via facsimile or electronic transmission (including by electronic mail in pdf form) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
10.12    Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and 

-106-

thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
10.13    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
10.14    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.15    Removal and Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.01, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained or (iii) under any other circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrower shall have the right to remove or replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (1) remove such Lender by terminating (on a non-ratable basis) such Lender’s Commitment or (2) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment (without payment of any assignment fee) pursuant to Section 10.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrower; provided, however, that (w) if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.06(b), it shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.07, (x) if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Non-Consenting Lender, it shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all other Lenders whose consent was required but not obtained with respect to the applicable amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent  and (y) the Borrower shall, or shall cause the assignee Lender to, as a condition to such replacement or removal, (1) pay in full all principal, accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of termination or assignment (including any amounts 

-107-

payable pursuant to Section 3.05), (2) provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to each L/C Issuer as it may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Exposure then outstanding, and (3) release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Credit Extensions. The Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule 2.01, which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect changes in the identities of the Lenders and adjustments of their respective Commitments and Pro Rata Shares resulting from any such removal or replacement.
(b)    In order to make all the Lenders’ interests in any outstanding Credit Extensions ratable in accordance with any revised Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to the removal or replacement of a Lender, the Borrower shall pay or prepay, if necessary, on the effective date thereof, all outstanding Revolving Loans of all Lenders, together with any amounts due under Section 3.05. The Borrower may then request Revolving Loans from the Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares. The Borrower may net any payments required hereunder against any funds being provided by any Lender or Eligible Assignee replacing a terminating Lender. The effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect thereto.
(c)    This Section shall supersede any provision in Section 10.01 to the contrary.
10.16    Governing Law.

THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

(a)    Except as specifically permitted pursuant to Section 10.05, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party to this Agreement shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.
(b)    Neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Syndtrak, Intralinks or any other Internet or intranet website or other information platform, except as a result of the Borrower’s or such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.
10.19    ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR 

-109-

SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
10.20    Patriot Act Notice. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act.  The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, provide to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.
10.21    Location of Closing. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has delivered, with the intent to be bound, its executed counterparts of this Agreement to the Administrative Agent, c/o King & Spalding LLP, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has delivered, with the intent to be bound, its executed counterparts of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, together with all other documents, instruments, opinions, certificates and other items required under Section 4.01, to the Administrative Agent, c/o King & Spalding LLP, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. All parties agree that closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has occurred in New York.
10.22    Currency Conversion. All payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, except for Loans funded in any Foreign Currency, which shall be repaid, including interest thereon, in such Foreign Currency. If any payment by the Borrower or the proceeds of any collateral shall be made in a currency other than the currency required hereunder, such amount shall be converted into the currency required hereunder at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, as the rate quoted by it in accordance with methods customarily used by such Person for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of the required currency with the currency of actual payment through its principal foreign exchange trading office (including, in the case of the Administrative Agent, any Affiliate) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (local time at such office) two Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion, provided that the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution actively engaged in foreign currency exchange if the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, does not then have a spot rate for the required currency. The parties hereto hereby agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary to convert from any currency other than the currency required hereunder into the currency required hereunder any amount in connection with the Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (b) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will pay to the Borrower such 

-110-

excess amounts (if any) as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such other currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in the currency required hereunder, and (c) any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 10.22 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due.
10.23    Exchange Rates.
(a)    Determination of Exchange Rates. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) on each Calculation Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if any Loans are outstanding on such date in any Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Foreign Currencies and (ii) give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 10.22 or any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in determining the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts of Foreign Currencies.
(b)    Notice of Foreign Currency Loans and Letters of Credit. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) on each Reset Date and each date on which Loans denominated in any Foreign Currencies are made or issued, if any such Loans are outstanding on such date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amounts of the Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies and (ii) notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the results of such determination.
10.24    Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II, Article III and Article IV with respect to any Borrowing in any Foreign Currency, if (a) there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Borrowing any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it impossible for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower or (b) the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Agreed Currency is not readily calculable, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders and such Borrowing shall not be denominated in such Foreign Currency, but shall be made on the date of such requested Borrowing in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent specified in the Revolving Loan Notices as Base Rate Loans.
10.25    Unrestricted Subsidiaries. After the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right to designate any Subsidiary from time to time as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement, by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving pro forma effect thereto, would result therefrom (including, without limitation, under Section 7.04 and Section 7.07).  The Borrower may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom.  The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary subsequent to the date of this Agreement shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower and the other Restricted Subsidiaries therein at the date of designation 

-111-

in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s Investment in such Subsidiary.  Upon a redesignation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that was designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date as a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to continue to have an Investment in the Equity Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount (if positive) equal to (i) the lesser of (A) the fair market value of the Investments of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation and (B) the fair market value of Investments of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries made in connection with the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, minus (ii) the portion (proportionate to the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the Net Worth of such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence or making, as applicable, at the time of designation of any Investments, Debt or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. 
10.26    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding that (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person, and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
10.27    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 any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

-112-

a.the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
b.the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

GUARANTEE
GUARANTEE dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guarantee”) among the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof and the Additional Guarantors (as defined in Section 7) (such Persons so listed and the Additional Guarantors being, collectively, the “Guarantors” and, individually, a “Guarantor”) in favor of SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent (in such capacity together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”) for the benefit of the Lenders (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Reference is hereby made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect on the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), among HEICO Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent. Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, it is a requirement under certain circumstances set forth in Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee and the Lenders would not have provided the Loans without such requirement.

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans by the Borrower and, accordingly, desires  to execute this Guarantee in  order to satisfy the  requirements described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to make Loans from time to time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

SECTION 1.    Guarantee; Limitation of Liability

(a)Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the full and punctual payment when due and performance, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all obligations of the Borrower and any other Guarantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, increases, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), including any obligations with respect to Hedging Arrangements (“Hedging Obligations”), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,  and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee or any other Loan Document, to the extent reimbursable under Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, Guaranteed Obligations, with respect to any Guarantor, shall exclude any Hedging Obligations if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Hedging Obligations (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official 

-154-

interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee of such Guarantor becomes effective with respect to such Hedging Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower or any other Guarantor to any Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Guarantor.

(b)Each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to such Guarantor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, by acceptance of the benefits of this Guarantee, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or subject to avoidance under Debtor Relief Laws or any similar foreign, federal or state law, in each case applicable to such Guarantor.

(c)Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Lender under this Guarantee, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 2. Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of collection, which will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guarantee are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Borrower or any other Guarantor under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or any Guarantor or whether any Borrower or any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than a defense of payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding contingent obligations as to which no claim has been made) or the release of this Guarantee in accordance with any relevant release provisions in the Loan Documents) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a)any lack of validity or enforceability, at any time, of any Loan Document (including this Guarantee) or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Borrower or any Guarantor under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or otherwise;

-155-

(c)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

(d)any failure of any Lender to disclose to the Borrower any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter known to such Lender;

(e)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guarantee, any Guarantee Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guarantee or agreement or the release or
reduction of liability of any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;

(f)any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Guarantee;

(g)any invalidity, rescission, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h)any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations), any act or omission, or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

		
	(e)
	This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization (or any analogous proceeding in any jurisdiction) of the Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. For the avoidance of doubt this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Guarantee.

(b)Each Guarantor’s right of contribution under this Section 14 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.
