Jeremy Delinsky

Dear Jeremy,

Congratulations! Welcome to Wayfair! We are pleased to offer you the position of Chief Technology Officer at Wayfair LLC commencing on July 13, 2015. The purpose of this letter is to describe the general terms and conditions of your employment with Wayfair. Wayfair is a high-growth company in a dynamic industry; therefore, the position, responsibilities and duties assigned to you by the Company may change from time-to-time.

On your first day, be sure to bring two valid forms of identification. Original forms are required, not photocopies (if you are bringing a license please be sure to have a valid List C document http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf with you as well) and report to 4 Copley Place, Boston, MA 02116. Please arrive at 9:00 AM and go straight to the 7th floor, where a member of the Learning & Development team will meet you.

Base Salary:

Your starting annual salary shall be $250,000 per year, less applicable tax and other withholdings in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedure. Your salary may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time, by the Company’s Compensation Committee.  The Company will pay your salary in its regularly scheduled payroll cycle.

Performance Bonus:

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s bonus plan on substantially the same terms as the Company’s other executive officers.  Your bonus will be between 0-25% of your annual salary, and based on your performance against personal performance objectives established upon commencement of your employment and, thereafter, no later than the beginning of each calendar year, or on criteria substantially similar to the Company’s other executive officers. All bonus amounts will be pro-rated for the portion of the calendar year that you were an employee.  Bonuses are paid in the first quarter of the year for the calendar year that just ended and you must be an employee at time of payment to receive the bonus. 

Equity:

As a benefit to our employees, Wayfair provides employees with an equity interest in the Company pursuant to a formal equity plan.  We will provide you with an initial equity award of 350,000 Restricted Stock Units, at no cost to you (except applicable taxes), which will be issued to you under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan pending quarterly board approval and which will vest over a five 

year period of time, beginning on the first day of the month after your start date, on the following schedule: 20% 1-year cliff, followed by 1/60th vesting each month for the next 48 months until fully vested 5 years from the date of grant.  You will receive the documentation relating to the Wayfair equity plan after board approval of your grant.  Your equity interest in the Company may be reviewed and increased from time to time.

In the event your employment terminates for any reason other than for Cause (as such term is defined below) in the 12 months following a Change in Control (as defined in our 2014 Incentive Award Plan), your unvested restricted stock units, stock options, restricted stock awards, or any other compensatory stock-based award (“Awards”) units will immediately vest on such termination as follows:
		
	•
	100% of your Awards will accelerate and vest if the Change in Control occurs within 18 months of your start date; or

		
	•
	50% of your Awards will accelerate and vest if the Change in Control occurs after 18 months of your start date.

Joining Bonus:

You will also be awarded a one-time joining bonus in the amount of $150,000, payable in one installment on the date of your first paycheck following your start date.  Should you voluntarily resign without Good Reason or are terminated from Wayfair for Cause within the first 12 months of your employment you will be required to reimburse the company the full amount of the joining bonus. Such amount is to be repaid to Wayfair within 90 days of resignation or termination.

Fringe Benefits:

You will be entitled to receive the fringe benefits generally available to the Company's employees. The Company, of course, may amend, terminate, or enhance the benefits provided to you and our other employees from time to time as it deems appropriate.

Internal Policies:

During your employment with the Company, you will be required to follow all of the Company's internal policies and to conduct your business activities at all times in accordance with the highest legal, ethical and professional standards.

Full-Time Employment:

Your employment with the Company will be on a full-time basis.  You will devote your full time and effort during normal business hours to the business of the Company.  This obligation does not preclude you from engaging in appropriate civic, charitable or religious activities or, with the consent of the Board, from service on the boards of directors of companies that are not competitors to the Wayfair, as long as the activities do not materially interfere or conflict with your responsibilities to or your ability to perform your duties of employment at Wayfair.

Employment at Will:

Your employment with the Company shall be at will.  As such, your employment is for no definite period of time, and you or the Company may terminate your employment relationship with or without notice at any time and for any reason, or without a reason or cause.  The Company is not bound to 

follow any policy, procedure, or process in connection with employee discipline, employment termination or otherwise.

Indemnification and Director’s and Officer’s Insurance.  In your capacity as an officer of the Company, you will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and under the Company’s Director and Officer liability insurance policies.

Severance:

In the event that, within the first year after your start date, either your employment is terminated without “Cause”, or if you terminate your employment for “Good Reason”, other than as a result of a Change in Control, then the Company agrees to the following separation terms:

		
	i.
	6 months of severance pay, paid at the rate of your regular base salary, on the Company’s usual payroll schedule;

		
	ii.
	100% acceleration of your 1st year’s equity vesting (which is 20% of the total initial grant amount);

		
	iii.
	No repayment of our joining bonus.

For purposes of the employment agreement, “Cause” means your (1) act involving fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation during your employment; (2) material default in the performance of any of your obligations to us; (3) adjudication as guilty by, or entry of a plea of guilty or no contest before, a court of competent jurisdiction in regard to a felony; (4) being found by a court to have engaged in one or more wrongful acts that individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us, our prospects, earnings, or financial condition; or (5) death or physical or mental incapacity

For purposes of the employment agreement “Good Reason” means (1) a material diminution by the Company to your base salary and bonus, without your express agreement; (2) a materially adverse change by the Company to your authorities or responsibilities;  or (3) the Company requires a change of more than 50 miles in the principal location at which you provide services to the Company.

Section 409A: 
It is intended that this agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance thereunder (collectively referred to as “Section 409A”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent possible, be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section 409A.  If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, no payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of termination of your employment shall be made unless and until you have a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  In the case of any amounts payable under this agreement that may be treated as payable in the form of “a series of installment payments,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), the right to receive such payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments for purposes of such Treasury Regulation.  If you are a “specified employee” as determined pursuant to Section 409A as of the date of  termination of employment and if any payment or benefit provided for in this agreement or otherwise both (x) constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and (y) cannot be paid or provided in the manner otherwise provided without subjecting you to additional tax, interest, or penalties under Section 409A, then any such payment or benefit shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) the date which is 6 months after your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of your death.  Any payment or benefit otherwise payable or to be 

provided to you upon or in the 6 month period following “separation from service” that is not so paid or provided by reason of this section shall be accumulated and paid or provided to you in a single lump sum, as soon as practicable (and in all events within 15 days) after the date that is 6 months after your “separation from service” (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within 15 days, after the date your death). All subsequent payments or benefits, if any, shall be payable or provided in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  It is the intent of this agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder shall be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so comply.  The Company and you agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this agreement and to take such reasonable actions that are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to you under Section 409A.
No Conflicting Obligation/Conflicts of Interest: 

You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that you are not presently under and will not hereafter become subject to any obligation to any person or entity which is inconsistent or in conflict with this agreement or which would prevent, limit or impair in any way your performance of your duties to the Company as described herein.  Specifically you represent and warrant that you have not brought with you any confidential or proprietary information of any former employer, and you are not subject to any agreement or obligation with a former employer which would prohibit your employment by the Company.  Further, during the term of your employment, you will not engage in any activity on behalf of, nor accept any salary, commissions, fee or compensation of any kind (other than investment income) from any person, firm or corporation competing with the Company.

Inventions, Confidentiality, Non Solicitation and Non-Compete Agreement:
    
To protect its business, Wayfair requires all employees to enter into a standard "Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Non-Disclosure and Invention Assignment Agreement."  Among other things, the Agreement will provide that the Company owns your work product and all developments made by you related to the Company’s business; that you shall hold all non-public information regarding the Company confidential; and that you will not solicit, hire, divert or take away any employee, contractor, customer or supplier of the Company. If you would like to review this document before commencing work, please let me know.

Conditions of Employment:

This offer is contingent upon your providing satisfactory documentation to the Company concerning your employment eligibility as required by Congress under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.  This documentation must be received and accepted by the Company within three (3) business days of your date of hire.  Your employment is also contingent upon the Company’s completion of a satisfactory investigation of your background.  You agree to release the Company, its employees and agents and any individuals who may provide the Company with information regarding your background from any liability in connection with this background check.

Governing Law:

This letter shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts, without regard to principles of choice or conflicts of law.

Successors and Assignment:

The Company shall require any successor via a Change in Control (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon you and the Company, and each of your respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Entire Understanding:

This letter contains our entire understanding regarding the terms and conditions of your employment and supersedes any prior statements regarding your employment made to you at any time by any representative of the Company.  Your signature below acknowledges your understanding that your employment with Wayfair is at-will, as described above, and that neither this letter, Wayfair practice, or other oral or written policies or statements of Wayfair or its agents shall create an employment contract, guarantee a definite term of employment, or otherwise modify in any way the agreement and understanding that employment with Wayfair is at-will.  No representative of Wayfair, except Wayfair’ President in writing signed by the President and you, has any authority to enter into any agreement contrary to the foregoing.  

If the foregoing offer is acceptable to you, please acknowledge your acceptance by signing below and returning one copy of this letter the Talent Acquisition team.

Unless otherwise specified, all accounting terms used herein or in any other Loan Document shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations and computations hereunder or thereunder (including under Section 8.4) shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to the re-characterization of leases that would have been characterized as operating leases on the Effective Date as Capitalized Leases.  In the event that any Accounting Change other than the foregoing shall occur that results 

34

in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition and performance of the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made.  Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. 
Section 1.5    Certain Calculations and Tests.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when determining compliance with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom) in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, a “LCA Election”), the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) may be used as the applicable date of determination.  If such provisions are measured after giving effect to such LCA Election and the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with.    
Section 1.6    Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up if there is no nearest number).
ARTICLE II

35

more standby or commercial letters of credit (relative to such L/C Issuer, its “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower in support of any obligations of the Parent or a Subsidiary of the Parent subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.7.  The commitment of each L/C Issuer to issue, and each Lender to participate in, each Letter of Credit described in this Section is herein referred to as the “Letter of Credit Commitment”.

From time to time on any Business Day occurring prior to the Maturity Date, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.8, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans (relative to such Lender, its “Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrower equal to the aggregate amount of the Borrowing of the Swing Line Loans requested by the Borrower to be made on such day not to exceed at any time the Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount.

(a)    the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings, (i) of all the Lenders and the Swing Line Lender would exceed  the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or (ii) of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount;

Section 2.3    Reduction of the Commitment Amounts.  
2.3.1    Voluntary Reduction.  The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day after the Effective Date, terminate the Commitments hereunder or permanently reduce the unused amount of any remaining Commitment Amount without premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i) all such terminations or reductions shall be made on not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, (ii) any partial reduction of the unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in an

Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount which reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount below the then current amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount or the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount shall result in an automatic and corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Loan Commitment Amount and Letter of Credit Commitment Amount, as the case may be, to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as reduced, without any further action on the part of any Lender or otherwise.  A notice of termination or reduction delivered by the Borrower hereunder may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of another transaction, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay any outstanding Loans, in which case such termination or reduction may be conditional upon the effectiveness of such other credit facilities or the closing of such other transaction; provided that the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent irrevocable confirmation of such termination or reduction no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such termination or reduction specified in a notice that is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of another transaction.

Section 2.4    Borrowing Procedures.
(a)    Borrowing Requests.  By delivering a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on a Business Day occurring prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request that (i) a Base Rate Loan be made not less than one (1) nor more than five (5) Business Days thereafter or that (ii) a Eurodollar Rate Loan be made not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days thereafter; provided, however, that (A) no Revolving Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the day that is one (1) month prior to the Maturity Date and (B) any request for a Base Rate Loan all the proceeds of which are used to finance any Reimbursement Obligation may be made on or before 8:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the day of the proposed Borrowing.

On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be made on the Business Day specified 

37

in such Borrowing Request.  On or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day each Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the requested Borrowing.  Such deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders.  To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request.
Section 2.5    Continuation and Conversion Elections.  By delivering a Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect on not less than one (1) nor more than five (5) Business Days’ notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and not less than three (3) Business Days (but not more than five (5) Business Days’) notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 be, in the case of Base Rate Loans, converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans (for the Interest Period specified in such Continuation/Conversion Notice) or be, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, converted into Base Rate Loans or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days (but not more than five (5) Business Days) before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month); provided, however, that (a) each such conversion or continuation shall be prorated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders, (b) no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, Eurodollar Rate Loans when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, and (c) no Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, Eurodollar Rate Loans after the day that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.
Section 2.6    Funding.  Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.7    Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may request, in accordance with the terms hereof, the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account and in support of any obligations of the Parent or a Subsidiary of the Parent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Loan Commitment remains in effect.
2.7.1    Issuance Procedures.  
(a)    By delivering to the relevant L/C Issuer, and, if the L/C Issuer is not Citibank, the Administrative Agent, a duly completed and executed Issuance Request, together with a duly completed application and agreement for such Letter of Credit as such L/C Issuer may specify, 

38

on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the L/C Issuer), that such L/C Issuer issue a Letter of Credit in such form as may be requested by the Borrower and approved by such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit to be used solely for the purposes described in Section 4.11.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of issuance and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that a Letter of Credit may, if requested by the Borrower, provide on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer, for automatic renewal for successive periods of one year or less (but not beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date), unless the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer shall have delivered to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit a notice of non-renewal at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Stated Expiry Date of such Letter of Credit.  The relevant L/C Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues hereunder.  Unless notified in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that a Default or Event of Default exists or that the conditions precedent for issuing the same have not been established, the relevant L/C Issuer may issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s customary practices.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit application and agreement of the Borrower conflicts with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
(b)    No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of request of such issuance any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any requirement of Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive 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 Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it.  No L/C Issuer shall be required to amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit if at the time of the request therefor it would not be required to issue a Letter of Credit as provided in this clause.
(c)    If the Administrative Agent is an L/C Issuer, it will notify the Lenders, within three (3) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, of all issuance, renewal and amendment to Letters of Credit during the preceding calendar month.  Each L/C Issuer that is not the Administrative Agent will notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days following the occurrence thereof) of the issuance, renewal and amendment of all Letters of Credit issued by it.
2.7.2    Other Lenders’ Participation.  

39

(a)    Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Lender (other than each L/C Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased (without recourse, representation or warranty), to the extent of its Percentage, a participation interest in each such Letter of Credit, including all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto.
(b)    If either (i) any L/C Issuer makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower has not, in accordance with Section 2.7.3, reimbursed in full the applicable L/C Issuer with respect thereto or (ii) any reimbursement received by any L/C Issuer from the Borrower is returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, each Lender shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay to each applicable L/C Issuer its Percentage of such payment or disbursement; provided that no such payment by the Lenders shall diminish the Obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.7.3 to repay such disbursements and payments in full.  Each Lender agrees to make its required reimbursement payment not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day that it receives a notice of payment or disbursement by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (or, if any Lender receives such notice after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next following Business Day), together with interest thereon from the date of requested prepayment until the date of such reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first three Business Days following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.  Any Lender’s failure to make available to the applicable L/C Issuer its Percentage of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available such other Lender’s Percentage of such payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available such other Lender’s Percentage of any such payment or disbursement.
(c)    Each Lender (i) that has complied with its obligations under this Section shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata share of Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.3 with respect to each relevant Letter of Credit and (ii) if such Lender has funded a reimbursement payment as provided in clause (b) with respect to a particular Letter of Credit, its Pro Rata share of all reimbursement payments paid by the Borrower with respect thereto.
2.7.3    Disbursements.  Each L/C Issuer will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, together with notice of the date (the “Disbursement Date”) such payment shall be made (each such payment, a “Disbursement”).  Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit.  Not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day that each relevant L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has made a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit (or, if the Borrower receives such notice after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next following Business Day), the Borrower will reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the 

40

account of the relevant L/C Issuer and each such Lender that has made a reimbursement payment to such L/C Issuer with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.7.2(b), for all amounts which such L/C Issuer and each such Lender have disbursed under such Letter of Credit, together with interest thereon from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement at a rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans (subject to Section 3.2.2 with respect to late payments); provided, however, that the Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.4 that such payment be financed with Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such reimbursement payments shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Loans.
2.7.4    Reimbursement.  The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of the Borrower under Section 2.7.3 to reimburse each L/C Issuer with respect to each Disbursement and, upon the failure of the Borrower to reimburse each such L/C Issuer (or if any reimbursement by the Borrower must be returned or disgorged by any such L/C Issuer for any reason), each Lender’s obligation under Section 2.7.2(b) to reimburse each such L/C Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or each such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit, or the existence of any Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Borrower or each such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against any L/C Issuer in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2.7.6.
2.7.5    Deemed Disbursements.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.1.9 or, with notice from the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all the Letters of Credit Outstandings in an amount equal to 105% thereof.  Such Cash Collateral shall be held in a Controlled Account.  Moneys in such Controlled Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each L/C Issuer for Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower for the Letters of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, shall be applied to satisfy other Obligations.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
2.7.6    Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  The Borrower and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.7.2, each Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.  No L/C Issuer shall be responsible for, nor shall any of the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit be affected by, any of the following:

41

(a)    the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(b)    the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
(c)    the failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;
(d)    errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise;
(e)    any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(f)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the L/C Issuers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or
(g)    the existence of any Default or Event of Default, or the termination of the Commitments.
None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any L/C Issuer or Lender shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of, or in connection with, the form, validity issuance, transfer, payment, non-payment or any other transaction related to any Letter of Credit, provided the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower or the Lenders to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and the Lenders to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise reasonable care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in each such determination.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

42

2.7.7    Uniform Customs and Practice.  The (a) Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as published by the International Chamber of Commerce most recently at the time of issuance of any commercial Letter of Credit shall apply to each such commercial Letter of Credit and (b) the International Standby Practices 1998 ISP 98 published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice most recently at the time of issuance of any standby Letter of Credit shall apply to each such standby Letter of Credit.
2.7.8    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit in support of obligations of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the business of the Parent and such Subsidiaries of the Parent.  
Section 2.8    Swing Line Loans. 
(a)    Borrowing Requests.  By utilizing a form of electronic communication that has been approved by the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 11.2, the Borrower may irrevocably request, on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day a proposed Swing Line Loan is to be made, that Swing Line Loans be made by the Swing Line Lender in any minimum amount.  All Swing Line Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Promptly following confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender that all the conditions for making a Swing Line Loan have been satisfied, the proceeds of each Swing Line Loan shall be made available by the Swing Line Lender, by its close of business on the Business Day in which it receives such confirmation from the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower, by wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided to the Swing Line Lender by the Borrower.   Upon the making of any Swing Line Loan, and without further action, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased (without recourse, representation or warranty), to the extent of its Percentage, a participation interest in each such Swing Line Loan.
(b)    Refinancing Swing Line Loans.  
(i)    If:
(1)    requested at any time by the Swing Line Lender (as communicated to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in its sole discretion; 
(2)    any Swing Line Loan is or will be outstanding on a date when the Borrower requests that a Revolving Loan be made; or
(3)    any Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing;

43

then in each case, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) irrevocably agrees that it will, promptly following notice from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in the preceding clauses (1) through (3) (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to provide promptly for and on behalf of the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower), make a Revolving Loan (which shall initially be funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swing Line Loans then outstanding (such outstanding Swing Line Loans hereinafter referred to as the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”).  On or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day following the occurrence of one of the foregoing (provided that if any Lender shall receive such notice at or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day such funding shall be made by such Lender on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day), each such Lender shall deposit in an account specified by the Swing Line Lender the amount so requested in same day funds and such funds shall be applied by the Swing Line Lender to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  At the time the aforementioned Lenders make the above referenced Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have made, in consideration of the making of the Refunded Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  Upon the making (or deemed making, in the case of the Swing Line Lender) of any Revolving Loans pursuant to this clause, the amount so funded shall become outstanding under such Lender’s Revolving Note and shall no longer be owed under the Swing Line Note.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in order to immediately pay the Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Loan deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans.
(ii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by a Refunded Swing Line Loan in accordance with clause (i), the request for any such Refunded Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to clause (i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)    In the event any Lender fails to fund when due as herein provided its Refunded Swing Line Loan or participation in any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.  Each Lender’s obligation to make Refunded Swing Line Loans and fund its participation in any Swing Line Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence  

44

or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) the acceleration or maturity of any Loans or the termination of any Commitment after the making of any Swing Line Loan; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(c)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If any payment that is received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned or disgorged by the Swing Line Lender for any reason, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Percentage thereof promptly following a demand therefor by the Administrative Agent (which demand the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly make upon the request of the Swing Line Lender), plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned to the Swing Line Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of such notice, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.
Section 2.9    Notes.  Each Lender’s Loans under a Commitment shall, if requested by such Lender, be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the original Commitment Amount.  Each Lender shall record in its records the outstanding amount owing pursuant to its Notes; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.  Such notations shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.
Section 2.10    Cashless Settlement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.
Section 2.11    Increase in Commitment.
2.11.1    Request for Increase.  The Borrower may, from time to time, request (each an “Incremental Commitment Request”) by delivering a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders of the substance thereof) that the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount be increased by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $25,000,000 (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”); provided that (i) each such Incremental 

45

Commitment Request shall request an increase in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining portion of such of total amount) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower may not submit more than three (3) Incremental Commitment Requests during the term of this Agreement.  The notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders describing each Incremental Commitment Request shall specify the time period (to be determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent but in no event to be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery by the Borrower of the applicable Incremental Commitment Request to the Administrative Agent) within which each Lender is required to inform the Administrative Agent whether such Lender intends to provide any portion of the applicable Incremental Commitment.
2.11.2    Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within the required time period whether or not it agrees to provide any portion of the applicable Incremental Commitment and, if so, shall specify the amount of such Incremental Commitment it desires to be allocated to it.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment Amount.  Each determination by a Lender to provide a portion of an Incremental Commitment shall be made by it in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.11.3    Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each Incremental Commitment Request.  To achieve the full amount of the Incremental Commitment specified in the applicable Incremental Commitment Request, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Borrower may obtain the agreement of additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to an Incremental Commitment Joinder Agreement.  Each such Eligible Assignee shall, as a condition to participating in any Incremental Commitment, be required to deliver all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Eligible Assignee pursuant Section 4.7(g) and any other information that the Administrative Agent requires from Lenders as a condition to becoming a party to this Agreement.
2.11.4    Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Commitment Amount is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date of each such increase (each an “Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of each Incremental Commitment.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the applicable Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date.
2.11.5    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  In connection with the occurrence of each Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall (a) pay all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including any upfront fees and reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel) of the Lenders providing such Incremental Commitment and Citibank, in its capacity as Administrative Agent on or prior to the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent such invoices have been delivered at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date and (b) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of such Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date and signed by a 

46

Financial Officer (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving the applicable Incremental Commitment and (ii) certifying that: 
(A)    immediately prior to and after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitment, the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date; provided that such representations and warranties (x) that relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (y) shall be true and correct in all respects if they are qualified by a materiality standard; provided, further, that if the Incremental Commitment is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, on the date of the initial Credit Extension under the Incremental Commitment (or the date the Incremental Commitment is provided), the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects shall be the Specified Representations;
(B)    subject to the Limited Condition Acquisition provisions set forth in the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” and Section 1.5, if applicable, immediately prior to and after giving effect to the applicable Incremental Commitment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
(C)    subject to the Limited Condition Acquisition provisions set forth in the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” and Section 1.5, if applicable, for the most recently completed Rolling Period prior to the applicable Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 8.4 before and after giving pro forma effect to the Credit Extensions to be made on the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date (to the extent the Borrower is requesting a Credit Extension on the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date); provided, however, that in the event the initial Credit Extension hereunder is requested after the Incremental Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall be required to provide a certificate for the most recently completed Rolling Period prior to the date of such Credit Extension with respect to an Incremental Commitment that the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 8.4 (before and after giving pro forma effect to such Credit Extension).
2.11.6    Terms of Incremental Commitment.  The terms and provisions of the incremental Loans comprising each Incremental Commitment shall be documented solely as an increase to the Commitments without any change of terms to this Agreement (other than with respect to Effective Yield as provided in clause (iii) below) and shall (i) rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with, and shall have the same guarantees as the existing Loans; (ii) have a maturity date that is not earlier than the Maturity Date; (iii) have a rate of interest as set forth in each applicable Incremental Commitment Joinder Agreement; provided that, if the Effective Yield for the 

47

Incremental Commitments is greater than the Effective Yield for the existing Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Effective Yield for the existing Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for the Incremental Commitments is not more than 50 basis points higher than the Effective Yield for the existing Loans; and (iv) otherwise be treated the same as, and not be entitled to any additional benefits than or impose any more obligations than, the existing Loans.
2.11.7    Notes.  Any existing Lender that has a Note and participates in any Incremental Commitment shall, substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of its Note to be replaced to the Borrower, receive a replacement Note that evidences the aggregate principal amount of its Loans outstanding hereunder.  Any new Lender requesting a Note shall receive such a Note in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Commitment it is required to fund pursuant to the terms of this Section.
2.11.8    Percentage Adjustment.  The Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to ratably adjust the Percentage of each Lender in order to give effect to any Incremental Commitment with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitment.  Upon a Lender providing any Incremental Commitment, each other Lender that does not participate in such Incremental Commitment shall have its Percentage reduced on a pro rata basis such that the total Percentage of all Lenders shall remain 100%.
2.11.9    Incremental Revolver Prepayment.  If the Borrower shall increase the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section it shall prepay any Revolving Loans that are outstanding on the date of such increase (and pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loan ratable with any revised Percentages as provided in Section 2.11.2 that arise from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.
ARTICLE III     
PAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

(a)    any such prepayments shall be made Pro Rata among Loans having the same Interest Period of all the applicable Lenders;
(b)    all such voluntary prepayments shall require (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of any prepayment thereof, and (ii) in the case of 

48

(d)    each such notice delivered pursuant to clause (b) hereof shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  The Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of another transaction, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay any outstanding Loans, in which case such prepayment may be conditional upon the effectiveness of such other credit facilities or the closing of such other transaction; provided, further that the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent irrevocable confirmation of such prepayment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment specified in the notice delivered pursuant to clause (b). 
3.1.2    Mandatory Repayments and Prepayments.

(b)    Mandatory Prepayment from Permitted Convertible Indebtedness.  Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Parent of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 8.2(h), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Parent to, promptly prepay the principal amount of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to 100% of principal amount of such Indebtedness in the manner set forth in Section 3.1.3.   
(c)    [Reserved].  
(d)    Acceleration.  The Borrower shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Maturity Date of any Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, (i) repay all (or if only a portion is accelerated thereunder, such portion of) the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and (ii) Cash Collateralize all other Letter of Credit Outstandings in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings, on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer.
3.1.3    Application of Prepayments, etc.  

49

(a)    Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment, first, to the payment of all the Swing Line Loans until they have been paid in full, second, to the payment of the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations until they have been paid in full, third, to the payment of the Revolving Loans until they have been paid in full, fourth, to Cash Collateralize all remaining Letters of Credit Outstandings in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings, on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer.

(a)    on that portion maintained from time to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; and
(b)    on that portion maintained from time to time as a Eurodollar Rate Loan  (except in the case of Swing Line Loans), during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
3.2.2    Post Default Rates.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default occurring under Section 9.1.1 or Section 9.1.9 or (b) for any other Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on the Loans and the Letter of Credit Outstandings, the rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Loan plus 2.00% per annum until such Event of Default is cured or waived; provided that no interest at such default rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
3.2.3    Payment Dates.  Interest accrued on each Loan shall be paid as follows:
(a)    on the Maturity Date;
(b)    on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;
(c)    with respect to Base Rate Loans, on each Monthly Payment Date; and
(d)    with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the last day of each applicable Interest Period; provided, however, that if an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan exceeds three (3) months, the respective dates that fall every three (3) months after the beginning of such Interest Period shall also be an interest payment date. 

50

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.
3.2.4    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 hereunder. 
Section 3.3    Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section.  All such fees shall be non-refundable.
3.3.1    Upfront Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay on the Effective Date an upfront fee equal to 0.25% of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount as of the Effective Date, such fee to be fully earned and payable to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata account of each Lender. 
3.3.2    Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), for the period (including any portion thereof when the Revolving Loan Commitment is suspended by reason of the Borrower’s inability to satisfy any condition of Section 5.2) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Maturity Date, an unused commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Unused Commitment Fee Rate on such Lender’s Percentage of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.  Such unused commitment fees shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date.  The unused commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Unused Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Unused Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Unused Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.  For purposes of calculating the unused commitment fee the making of Swing Line Loans by the Swing Line Lender shall not constitute the usage of the Revolving Loan Commitment.
3.3.3    Letter of Credit Fee.  
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata account of each Lender, a Letter of Credit fee in an amount equal to (i) the greater of (x) the then Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether or not Eurodollar Rate Loans are actually outstanding) minus 0.75% and (y) 1.00%, multiplied by (ii) the average aggregate daily principal amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings of each such 

51

Letter of Credit.  Such fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears and shall be paid by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date (commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the first issuance of such Letter of Credit), on the Maturity Date and on the expiry date of each such Letter of Credit.  
(b)    The Borrower further agrees to pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account with respect to each of its outstanding Letters of Credit (i) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum times the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all of its Letters of Credit and (ii) all customary related costs, expenses and processing charges, calculated quarterly in arrears and paid by the Borrower on each Quarterly Payment Date (commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the first issuance of such Letter of Credit), on the Maturity Date and on the expiry date of each such Letter of Credit.  
Section 3.4    Administrative Agent’s Fees, etc.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, and without duplication of any fees paid hereunder, fees in the amounts, on the dates and in the manner set forth in the Fee Letter.
ARTICLE IV     
YIELD PROTECTION, TAXES AND RELATED PROVISIONS
Section 4.1    Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful.  If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert any such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. All outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender shall (a) automatically convert into Base Rate Loans or (b) be prepaid by the Borrower, in each case, at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such Law or assertion.  With respect to any determination of the Alternate Base Rate for Base Rate Loans incurred pursuant to this Section, the Alternate Base Rate will be determined without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate. 
Section 4.2    Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Administrative Agent shall have determined or been instructed by the Required Lenders that adequate means do not exist for adequately and fairly determining the cost to the Lenders or do not adequately cover the costs of such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.  With respect to any determination of the Alternate Base Rate for Base Rate Loans incurred pursuant to this Section, the Alternate Base Rate will be determined without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate.

52

Section 4.3    Increased Costs, Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(a)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement) or any L/C Issuer;
(b)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its Credit Extensions or Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(c)    impose on any Recipient or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement (other than Taxes), any Loan or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  A certificate of such Recipient delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to such additional amount or amounts that are necessary to compensate such Recipient as aforesaid shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and shall be payable within 10 days after receipt thereof by the Borrower.  Failure or delay on the part of any Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Recipient notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 4.4    Funding Losses.  In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan) as a result of:
(a)    any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 2.5, Section 3.1, Section 4.1, Article IX or otherwise;

53

(b)    any Loans not being made as Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor;
(c)    any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor; or
(d)    any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of the operation of Section 4.14; 
then, upon the notice of such Lender to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice) pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  For the purpose of calculating the amount or amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of the amount or amounts payable under this Section.
Section 4.5    Increased Capital Requirements.  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 holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the 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 holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or L/C Issuer or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender or L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s  holding company could 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 holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  
Section 4.6    Certificates for Reimbursement; Delay in Request. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to any such additional amount or amounts or reduced returns as specified in Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, and shall be payable within 10 days after the receipt thereof.  In determining such amount, each Lender and each L/C Issuer may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered 

54

more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 4.7    Taxes.
(a)    Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)    Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 

55

Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)    Status of Lenders.  
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation 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.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.7(g)(ii)(A), Section 4.7(g)(ii)(B) and Section 4.7(g)(ii)(4)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person: 
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

56

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

57

completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; 
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and
(E)    Any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, with the effect that the Borrower make payments to the Administrative Agent, to the extent such payments are received by the Administrative Agent as an intermediary, without deduction of any Taxes imposed by the United States. 
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 clause (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 clause, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause the payment of which would place the indemnified 

58

party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 4.8    Payments, Interest Calculations, etc.  
(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the Pro Rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment, provided, however, that all payments with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be made only to the Swing Line Lender.  All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender (in the case of the Swing Line Loans), as the case may be, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower.  Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (in the case of the Swing Line Loans) on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue thereon.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit (and, in any event, on the same Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent is so received on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)) in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.
(b)    All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days).  If a Loan is repaid on the same day it is made one day’s interest shall be charged.  Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.
Section 4.9    Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its Pro Rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion 

59

shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 4.10    Setoff.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or L/C Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the 

60

Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 4.11    Use of Proceeds.  
(a)    The proceeds from all Credit Extensions shall be used (i) to finance working capital and other lawful general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties, (ii) for Permitted Acquisitions pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) for repurchases of Equity Interests, (iv) to refinance the Existing Indebtedness and (v) pay all fees, commissions and expenses related to the foregoing. 
(b)    Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries will directly or, to the Borrower’s knowledge indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loans or Letters of Credit, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture, partner or other Person: (i) to fund or facilitate any activities or business with (x) any Sanctioned Person or (y) in any Sanctioned Country, or (ii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, or Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in transactions contemplated hereby or thereby).  
Section 4.12    Funding and Payment Reliance, etc.  
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at: 
(i)    in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (A) for the first three (3) Business Days after such payment was due, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) thereafter, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; and 
(ii)    in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the 

61

Administrative Agent.  Nothing in this Section or otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to advance funds on behalf of any other Lender, relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of its failure to advance such funds.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate or (y) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rates on interbank compensation, for the first Business Day following such Lender’s receipt of such demand, and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans.
Section 4.13    Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.7, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.5 or Section 4.7, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 4.14    Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.7, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 4.13, of if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by Section 11.10), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.5 or Section 4.7) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

62

(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.10(b);
(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and
(e)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 4.15    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9.6 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.10 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.16; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; 

63

fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees.  
(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 3.3.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 3.3.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.16.
(C)    With respect to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such 

64

fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.  Subject to Section 11.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, (A) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (B) second, Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.16.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to clause (a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Non-Defaulting Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans 

65

unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 4.16    Cash Collateral by the Borrower.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 4.15(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(a)    Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Outstandings, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person, other than the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers as herein provided (other than Liens permitted by Section 8.3(l)), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or Section 4.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Outstandings (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)    Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 4.15, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and, provided, further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

71

entitlements and accreditations, from Governmental Authorities or otherwise, to (i) enter into and perform its Obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party and (ii) own and hold under lease its property and to conduct its business substantially as currently conducted by it, except in the case of this clause (b)(ii), where the failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a)    contravene any such Loan Party’s Organizational Documents;
(b)    contravene any Law binding on any such Loan Party that has or could reasonably be expected to have a or result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(c)    conflict with, result in a material breach of, or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default or event of default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under, any material indenture, agreement, document or other instrument;
(d)    violate, conflict with, result in a material breach of, or result in the impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of, any material permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or accreditation of any Governmental Authority; or

Section 6.3    Required Approvals.  Except as duly obtained and in full force and effect prior to (or, in the case of clause (c), substantially concurrently with the occurrence of) the Effective Date, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required for:
(a)    the due execution, delivery or performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement or each other Loan Document to which it is a party;

(b)    If any property or asset forming a part of the Collateral is acquired or leased by any Loan Party after the Effective Date, the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof; provided, however, that such notice shall not be required if (i) the Administrative Agent has a valid first priority perfected security interest in such property or asset by virtue of any actions previously taken by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and (ii) such actions are not required by the terms of Security Agreement, and will cause such property or asset to be subjected to a first priority security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (subject, in the case of non-possessory security interests, to the Liens permitted by Section 8.3) and the Loan 

86

Parties will take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, (including the actions described in Section 7.7 and Section 7.8(a)) and obtaining Landlord Waivers and Bailee Waivers, to the extent such waivers are required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.5    Appointment of Administrative Agent as Attorney in Fact.  The Parent and the Borrower hereby constitute and appoint the Administrative Agent as their attorney in fact 

101

with full authority in the place and stead of them and in the name of each of them, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion while any Event of Default is continuing, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including to:  (a) ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (b) enforce the obligations of any account debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral and enforce the rights of any Loan Party with respect to such obligations and to any property that secures such obligations; (c) file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of or to preserve the value of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to any of the Collateral; (d) pay or discharge Taxes or Liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral in amounts necessary to discharge the same as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (all of such payments made by the Administrative Agent shall become Obligations, due and payable immediately without demand); (e) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with the Accounts, chattel paper or general intangibles and other documents relating to the Collateral; (f) take any act required of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (g) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral.  The Parent and the Borrower hereby ratify and approve all acts of the Administrative Agent made or taken pursuant to this Section, agree to cooperate with the exercise by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section and shall not, either directly or indirectly, take or fail to take any action which could impair, in any respect, any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section.  The appointment pursuant to this Section of the Administrative Agent as the Parent’s and the Borrower’s attorney and the Administrative Agent’s rights and powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable, so long as any of the Commitments hereunder shall be in effect and until payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification liabilities).
Section 9.6    Payments Upon Acceleration.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral to the Obligations in the following order:
(a)    first, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, fees and expenses referred to in Section 3.3, Section 11.3 and Section 11.4), whether or not the same is allowed in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party;
(b)    second, to pay Obligations (other than Swap Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities) in respect of any fees, expenses or indemnities then due to the Lenders 

102

and the L/C Issuers, whether or not the same is allowed in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party;
(c)    third, to pay interest due in respect of the Loans and Letters of Credit (whether or not the same is allowed in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party);
(d)    fourth, to (i) pay the principal outstanding with respect to the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and (ii) Cash Collateralize all other Letter of Credit Outstandings (in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings) on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer;
(e)    fifth, to pay all other Obligations (including Cash Management Liabilities and Swap Liabilities arising from any Swap Agreement that at the time of entering into was between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, on the other hand); and
(f)    sixth, to pay who may be lawfully entitled thereto.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order of each category and shall only be applied to the next succeeding category after all amounts in the preceding category have been paid in full in cash and (ii) amounts owing to each relevant Lender Party in clauses (b) through (e) shall be allocated to the payment of the relevant Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of each Lender Party’s (or, in the case of Cash Management Liabilities and Swap Liabilities that are referred to above, each such Lender Party’s Affiliates) interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in each such relevant clause.
Section 9.7    Swap Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any Guaranty or any Collateral Document, no Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that obtains the benefits of Section 9.6 as a result of holding Swap Liabilities or Cash Management Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any Guaranty or any Collateral Document by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement, of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Liabilities or Cash Management Liabilities unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender or Affiliate of such Lender, as the case may be.

ARTICLE X     
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 10.1    Appointment; Lender Indemnification.  
(a)    Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender and L/C Issuer under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Administrative Agent (with respect to which the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.  In performing its duties hereunder the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and shall not have any fiduciary, trust or similar relationship with any Loan Party.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that the duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature.  Except for the Borrower’s consultation and notification rights provided in Section 10.5, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation arising under any agency doctrine or any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction.  If any indemnity in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be or become, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, inadequate, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.
Section 10.2    Exculpation.  
(a)    Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its Related Parties, shall be liable to any Lender or L/C Issuer for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except as determined by a final non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or his own willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Under no circumstances shall the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties be responsible for, incur any liability with respect to, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into:  (i) any representations or warranties or statements made by any Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document; (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of any Loan Document; (iii) the creation, perfection or 

104

priority of any Liens purported to be created by any Collateral Document or any other Loan Documents; (iv) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of, or taking any action with respect to the care, protection or preservation of, any Collateral; (v) the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any covenants or agreements or other terms or conditions contained in the Loan Documents; (vi) the contents of any certificate, report or document delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document; (vii) the satisfaction of any conditions (including any conditions set forth in Article V) set forth in the Loan Documents; (viii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default; (ix) the financial condition of any Loan Party or (x) compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (A) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (B) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. 
(b)    The Administrative Agent (i) is not required to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Loan Party of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent), and any such inquiry which may be made by the Administrative Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action; (ii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates; (iii) shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the existence of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from an Authorized Officer or a Lender that specifically refers to and describes the same; (iv) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (v) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not, in any event, be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not in any event be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.1).
Section 10.3    Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, 

105

Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 10.4    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise any and all of its rights under the Loan Documents by or through any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, sub-agents or Related Parties thereof, and the exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to each such Person or when acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Person appointed by it to act on its behalf, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of any such Person.
Section 10.5    Resignation of Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  
(a)    Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent 

106

shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue in effect, for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents and Related Parties thereof, in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
(b)    Resignation as L/C Issuer.  Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  After the resignation of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit. 
(c)    Resignation of Swing Line Lender.  Any Swing Line Lender may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  After the resignation of a Swing Line Lender hereunder, the retiring Swing Line Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all of the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to made any additional Swing Line Loans. 
Section 10.6    Rights as a Lender.  Citibank shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Credit Extensions made by it or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender, and may exercise such rights and powers to the same extent as if it were not the Administrative Agent.  Citibank and each of its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as a financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  Citibank shall have no duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Loan Party to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as Administrative Agent.
Section 10.7    Non Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties, and based on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s review of the financial information of the Loan Parties and each of their Subsidiaries and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender and L/C Issuer has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to extend its Commitments and make its Credit Extensions.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties, and based on other documents, information and investigations as it from time to time shall deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions as to exercising or not 

107

exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 10.8    Copies, etc.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent or the Borrower and required to be delivered to the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Parent or the Borrower).  The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from the Parent or the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 10.9    Certain Collateral Matters.  
(a)    The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents.
(b)    Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees that none of them shall have any right individually to seek to realize upon the Collateral, it being agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents.
(c)    Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any security interest or Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral and under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full in cash or cash collateralization of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations) payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or disposition permitted hereunder, (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries own no interest at the time the security interest and/or Lien is requested to be released, (iv) constituting property leased to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary to be, renewed or extended, (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full, or (vi) if approved by the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 11.1, each Lender and L/C Issuer, if applicable.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Outstandings shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.3, Section 11.3 and Section 11.4.

No failure, delay or course of dealing on the part of any Lender Party in exercising any power, right or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or privilege.  No notice to or demand on the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any state or rule of Law or in any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 11.2    Notices.  
(a)    Notices Generally.  Except in the case of notices and communications expressly permitted to be as provided in clause (b), all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing, shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, and addressed to such party at its address or facsimile number set forth on Schedule III hereto, in an Assignment and Assumption or at such other address or facsimile number as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties given in accordance with this Section.  Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient).  Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in clause (b), shall be effective as provided therein.
(b)    Electronic Communication.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders and L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent, the Parent, the Borrower and any other Loan Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient 

111

(such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e mail or other written acknowledgement), 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; provided, that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e mail 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.
(c)    Platform. 
(i)    The Parent and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications available to the Lender Parties by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
(ii)    The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to any Loan Party, any other Lender Party or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform.  
Section 11.3    Payment of Costs and Expenses.

(i)    the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including with respect to due diligence matters, the preparation of additional Loan Documents, the review and 

112

preparation of agreements, instruments or documents pursuant to Section 7.8 and Section 10.9), and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may from time to time hereafter be required, and the Administrative Agent’s consideration of their rights and remedies hereunder or in connection herewith from time to time whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated;
(ii)    the filing, recording, refiling or rerecording of the Collateral Documents executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(iii)    costs of appraisals, field exams, inspections and verification of the Collateral, including, without limitation, travel, lodging, meals and other charges, including the costs, fees and expenses of independent auditors and appraisers (subject to the limitations otherwise set forth herein).
(b)    The Parent and the Borrower further agree to reimburse each Lender Party for all fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel and consultants to each Lender Party who may be retained by each such Lender Party; provided that the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel shall be limited to one primary counsel, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (for each reasonably necessary specialty) in each case for the Lender Parties taken as a whole, and in the case of a conflict of interest of any of the foregoing counsel, one additional local and/or special counsel (as applicable)) incurred by each Lender Party in connection with (i) the negotiation of any restructuring or “work out”, whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (ii) the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, any Collateral Document or any other Loan Document.
(c)    To the extent that the Parent or the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under clause (a) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Related Party, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Related Party, such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or payment is sought) of such unpaid amount.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause are several and not joint.
(d)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and, in any event, not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of a notice in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 11.2.
(e)    Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder. 
Section 11.4    Indemnification by the Borrower.  
(a)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Party and each of their Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, 

113

charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Indemnified Parties; provided that such fees, charges and disbursements of counsel are limited to one primary counsel, one local counsel (in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction) and one special counsel (for each reasonably necessary specialty) in each case, for all Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and in the case of a conflict of interest of any of the foregoing counsel, one additional local and/or special counsel (as applicable)), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person, other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  This clause shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b)    To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under clause (a) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (or any Related Party thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer (or any Related Party thereof), such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause are several and not joint.
(c)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and, in any event, not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of a notice in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 11.2.
(d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the obligations hereunder. 

114

Section 11.5    Survival.  All representations and warranties made by each Loan Party in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Credit Extension, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder.  The terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect to the matters covered thereby, provided that the Fee Letter shall continue to control the matters covered thereby.
Section 11.6    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.7    Headings.  The various headings of this Agreement and of each other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or any provisions hereof or thereof.
Section 11.8    Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 11.9    Governing Law.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, 

115

arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall each be governed by, and each be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.  
Section 11.10    Assignments and Participations.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally.  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 neither the Parent nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that  any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.  
(A)    In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in this Section 11.10(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned.
(B)    In any case not described in Section 11.10(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no 

116

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans. 
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.10(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C)    the consent of each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause.
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii)    Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment 

117

shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer, each Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.  
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at an office specified from time to time a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

118

(d)    Participations.  
(i)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, or the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each other Lender Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.4 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participants.
(ii)    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, modification or waiver that requires the consent of all the Lenders or any affected Lender (if it is the same Lender selling the participation to the Participant) that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 4.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.7(g), (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.7(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.13 and Section 4.14 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.3 or Section 4.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.14 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.9 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, 

119

loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)    Certain Pledges.  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.
(f)    Disqualified Institutions. 
(i)    No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation).  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and  (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution.  Any assignment in violation of this clause (f) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (f) shall apply.
(ii)    If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Credit Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.10), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire 

120

such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter.
Section 11.11    Press Releases and Related Matters.  The Parent and the Borrower agree that neither it nor any other Loan Party will issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or its Affiliates (other than the filing of the Loan Documents and related required filings with the SEC or any public disclosure in connection therewith) without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent or each such Lender.  The Parent and the Borrower consent to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall provide a draft of any such tombstone or similar advertising material to the Borrower for review and reasonable comment prior to the publication thereof.  In addition, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations customary information for inclusion in league table measurements.
Section 11.12    Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.  The 

121

Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in this Section 11.12.

ARTICLE XII     
GUARANTY
Section 12.1    Guaranty.  For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make extensions of credit to the Borrower hereunder, the Parent hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations.  Any term or provision of this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate maximum amount of the Obligations for which the Parent shall be liable under this Article XII shall not exceed the maximum amount for which the Parent can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as it relates to the Parent, void or voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.  
Section 12.2    Waivers.  The Parent hereby waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Obligations or any part thereof.  The Parent further waives diligence, presentment, protest, notice or demand or action or delinquency in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person obligated with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise to enforce payment thereof against any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof.  The Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Parent their assessments of the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
Section 12.3    Guaranty Absolute.  This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and not of collection, is a primary obligation of the Parent and not merely one of surety, and the validity and enforceability of this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by, any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitution for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (d) any release, surrender, 

125

compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral, any other Guaranty with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of obligations other than the Obligations, any part thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Article XII even though the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Article XII; (g) any change in the ownership of the Borrower or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the Borrower; (h) change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (i) the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Obligations or this Article XII, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this Article XII; (j) the existence of any claim, defense, deduction, recoupment, setoff or other rights which the Parent may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in connection herewith or an unrelated transaction; or (k) any other circumstance, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, which could constitute a defense to a guarantor (including all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral); all whether or not the Parent shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (k) of this Section.  It is agreed that the Parent’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other Guaranty or other obligations not arising under this Article XII at any time in effect with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof and that the Parent’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other Guaranty or other obligations not arising under this Article XII or any provision of any applicable Law purporting to prohibit payment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Obligations in the manner agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party.  The Parent hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future transaction giving rise to any Obligation.
Section 12.4    Acceleration.  The Parent agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between the Parent on the one hand, and the Lender Parties on the other hand, the Obligations guaranteed under this Article XII may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, or may be deemed automatically to have been accelerated, as provided in Section 9.2, for purposes of this Article XII, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise) preventing such declaration as against the Borrower or any other Loan Party and that, in the event of such declaration or automatic acceleration, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent for purposes of this Article XII.
Section 12.5    Delay of Subrogation, etc.  Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of the Guarantor pursuant to this Article XII, the Parent shall not be subrogated to any 

126

right of any Lender Party, or have any right to obtain reimbursement or indemnification from the Borrower, until such time as this Guaranty is terminated in accordance with Section 12.8.  
Section 12.6    Subordination of Indebtedness.  Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter owed to the Parent is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the payment of the Obligations, and if a default in the payment of any Obligations shall have occurred and be continuing, any such Indebtedness of any Loan Party owed to the Parent, if collected or received by the Parent, shall be held in trust by the Parent for the holders of the Obligations and be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with this Agreement. 
Section 12.7    Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations; provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 12.7 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 12.7, or otherwise under its Guaranty, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification liabilities).  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 12.8    Termination; Reinstatement.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification liabilities) and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are paid in full in cash (or, in the case of Letter of Credit Outstandings not then due and owing, have been Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings, on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer) and the Commitments and this Agreement with respect to the Obligations are terminated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Parent or any other Loan Party is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of the Parent under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

127

Section 12.9    Condition of Borrower.  The Parent acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as the Parent requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and the Parent is not relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to the Parent any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (the Parent waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the grant of the security interests pursuant hereto, (i) are within such Grantor’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, (ii) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (1) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (2) filings and recordings in respect of the security interests created pursuant hereto and (3) such 

Page 4

other consent, approval, registration, filing or action the failure to obtain or perform which would not adversely affect the Liens created hereunder and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) will not violate any applicable Law or the Organizational Documents of such Grantor or any order of any Governmental Authority binding upon such Grantor or its property, (iv) will not conflict with or result in a material default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon such Grantor or any of its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, and (v) except for the security interests created pursuant hereto, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of such Grantor.
(b)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Grantor and constitutes, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against such Grantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 2.1.2    Title.  Such Grantor is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral and no Lien exists upon the Collateral (and no right or option to acquire the same exists in favor of any other Person) other than (a) the security interest created or provided for herein, which security interest constitutes a valid first and prior perfected Lien on the Collateral, and (b) the Liens expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.  
Section 2.1.3    Names; Filing Details; Etc.  The full and correct legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and mailing address of such Grantor as of the date hereof are correctly set forth in Annex I.  The U.C.C. financing statements containing the description of the Collateral that have been prepared for filing in the office specified in Annex I hereto constitute all the filings, recordings and registrations (except with respect to Intellectual Property) that are, as of the Effective Date, necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing such financing statements.

Such Grantor has not (a) within the period of four months prior to the date hereof, changed its location (as defined in Section 9‐307 of the NYUCC), (b) within the period of five years prior to the date hereof, except as specified in Annex I, heretofore changed its name, or (c) within five years prior to the date hereof, except as specified in Annex II, heretofore become a “new debtor” (as defined in Section 9‐102(a)(56) of the NYUCC) with respect to a currently effective security agreement previously entered into by any other Person.
Section 2.1.5    Pledged Shares.
(a)    The Initial Pledged Shares constitute (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Shares of each Issuer other than an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary beneficially owned by a Grantor on the date hereof , whether or not registered in the name of such Grantor and (ii) in the case of each Issuer that is an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, (A) 65% of the issued and outstanding shares 

Page 5

of voting stock of such Issuer and (B) 100% of all other issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of whatever class of such Issuer beneficially owned by such Grantor on the date hereof, in each case whether or not registered in the name of such Grantor.

Section 4.2    Other Financing Statements or Control.  Except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents, each Grantor shall not (a) file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to any of the Collateral in which the Administrative Agent is not named as the sole secured party, except for any filing or instrument made in connection with any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents or (b) cause or permit any Person other than the Administrative Agent to have “control” (as defined in Section 9‐104, 9‐105, 9‐106 or 9‐107 of the NYUCC) of any Deposit Account, Electronic Chattel Paper, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Right constituting part of the Collateral.
Section 4.3    Preservation of Rights.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.
Section 4.4    Special Provisions Relating to Certain Collateral.

(i)    Each Grantor will cause the Pledged Shares to constitute at all times (1) 100% of the total number of Shares of each Issuer other than an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary then outstanding owned by such Grantor and (2) in the case of any Issuer that is an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, 65% of the total number of shares of voting stock of such Issuer and 100% of the total number of shares of all other classes of capital stock of such Issuer then issued and outstanding owned by such Grantor.
(ii)    So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Shares for all purposes not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein; and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Grantor or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the rights and powers that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.4(a)(ii).
(iii)    Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends, distributions or proceeds on the Pledged Shares paid in cash out of earned surplus.

Page 11

relating to such Secured Obligation, all dividends and other distributions on the Pledged Shares shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and retained by it in the Collateral Account as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, each Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of such Grantor (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Obligations), be returned by the Administrative Agent to such Grantor.
(b)    Intellectual Property.
(i)    For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 4.5 at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non‐exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to any provision of the Loan Documents that limit the rights of any Grantor to dispose of its property, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of such Grantor.  In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of a Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate in its judgment to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to clause (i) immediately above as to any specific Intellectual Property).  Further, upon the payment in full of all of the Obligations and the expiration and termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement, or earlier expiration of this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall grant back to each Grantor the license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above.  The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 4.5 by the Administrative Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by any Grantor in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (ii).
(iii)    No Grantor shall do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any of the Patent Collateral may lapse or become abandoned, dedicated to the public or unenforceable unless such Grantor has either (x) reasonably determined in good faith that 

Page 12

such Patent Collateral is of immaterial economic value or (y) has a valid business purpose to do so. 
(iv)    No Grantor shall, and no Grantor shall permit any of its licensees to, unless such Grantor has either (x) reasonably determined in good faith that the applicable Trademark Collateral is of immaterial economic value or (y) has a valid business purpose to do otherwise: (A) fail to continue to use any of the Trademark Collateral in order to maintain all of the Trademark Collateral in full force and effect free from any claim of abandonment for non-use; (B) fail to maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under all of the Trademark Collateral; (C) fail to employ all of the Trademark Collateral registered with any Federal, state or foreign authority with an appropriate notice of such registration or (D) do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of the Trademark Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable. 
(v)    No Grantor shall, unless such Grantor has either (x) reasonably determined in good faith that any of the Copyright Collateral or any of the Trade Secrets Collateral is of immaterial value or (y) has a valid business purpose to do otherwise, do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of the Copyright Collateral or any of the Trade Secrets Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain expect upon expiration of the end of an unrenewable term of a registration thereof. 
(vi)    Each Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material item of the Intellectual Property could reasonably be expected to become abandoned, dedicated to the public, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse final, unappealable determinations (including the institution of, or any final determination in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any foreign counterpart thereof or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any material item of the Intellectual Property, its right to register the same or to keep, maintain and enforce the same. 
(vii)    Each Grantor shall take necessary steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office to maintain and pursue any application (and to obtain the relevant registration) filed with respect to, and to maintain any registration of, the Intellectual Property, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and the payment of fees and taxes (except to the extent that the dedication, abandonment, or invalidation is permitted under the foregoing clauses (iii), (iv) and (v)). 
(c)    Chattel Paper.  Each Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent each original of each item of Tangible Chattel Paper at any time constituting part of the Collateral in excess of $100,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate.
Section 4.5    Remedies.

Page 13

(a)    Rights and Remedies Generally upon an Event of Default.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the NYUCC (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Administrative Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Grantor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); and without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may, in each case, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i)    in its name or in the name of any Grantor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or other property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
(ii)    make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
(iii)    require each Grantor to notify (and such Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent so to notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account, Chattel Paper or General Intangible, and each obligor on any Instrument, constituting part of the Collateral that such Collateral has been assigned to the Administrative Agent hereunder, and to instruct that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent or as it may direct (and if any such payments, or any other Proceeds of Collateral, are received by such Grantor they shall be held in trust by such Grantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and as promptly as possible remitted or delivered to the Administrative Agent for application as provided herein);
(iv)    require each Grantor to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, reasonably convenient to the Administrative Agent and such Grantor, as the Administrative Agent may direct;
(v)    apply the Collateral Account and any money or other property therein to payment of the Obligations;
(vi)    require each Grantor to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to such Grantor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to such Pledged Shares); and

Page 14

(vii)    sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as the Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Administrative Agent or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of any Grantor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released.  In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the Trademark Collateral, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to such disposition shall be included.  The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.
The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.5, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to the Administrative Agent in Section 4.4(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.9.
(b)    Certain Securities Act Limitations.  Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Secured Parties than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
(c)    Notice.  Each Grantor agrees that to the extent the Administrative Agent is required by applicable law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten (10) Business Days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.
Section 4.6    Deficiency.  If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.5 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
Section 4.7    Locations; Names, Etc.  Without at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, no Grantor shall (i) change its location (as defined in Section 9‐307 of the NYUCC) or (ii) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Annex I.

Page 15

Section 4.8    Private Sale.  The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.5 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
Section 4.9    Application of Proceeds.  Except as otherwise herein expressly provided and except as provided below in this Section 4.9, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Administrative Agent this Section 4, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith;
Next, to the payment in full of the Obligations (or, in the case of any Contingent Secured Obligations, to the provision of cover as provided below), in such order as the Administrative Agent, shall determine; and
Finally, to the payment to the relevant Grantor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
For purposes hereof, whenever this Agreement contemplates that cover shall be provided for Contingent Secured Obligations, such cover shall be effected by the payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount that will be deposited into a Collateral Account to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the payment of such Contingent Secured Obligations as and when they become due and payable.
Section 4.10    Attorney-in-Fact.  Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed the attorney‐in‐fact of each Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Administrative Agent may, deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney‐in‐fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

Page 16

Section 4.11    Perfection and Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and fixtures” or words of similar effect of such Grantor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3).
Section 4.12    Termination and Release.  
(a)    When all Commitments shall have expired or terminated and all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification liabilities) have been paid in full (or, in the case of Letter of Credit Outstandings not then due and owing, have been Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings, on terms and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer), this Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens granted hereunder and the other Loan Documents without further action by any Person.  The Administrative Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of each  Grantor and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.4(b).  The Administrative Agent shall also, at the expense of each Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by such Grantor to effect the termination and release of the liens on the Collateral as required by this Section 4.12.
(b)    Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor and upon the release of any Grantor from its obligations under its Guaranty, in each case permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor upon such release or termination such Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements or termination statements, as the case may be and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by such Grantor to effect the release of the liens on such item of Collateral or Grantor and return all such Collateral in its possession to the applicable Grantor.

In case any provision in or obligation hereunder shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or such provisions or obligations in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdictions).

Section 5.11    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Secured Party with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Section 5.12    No Fiduciary Relationship.  The Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent may have economic interests that conflict with those of any Grantor, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates.  Each Grantor agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed 

Page 20

Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions and (B) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto (i) no Secured Party nor the Administrative Agent has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Grantor, its stockholder or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Grantor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Grantor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary for any Grantor, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that such Grantor has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each Grantor agrees that it will not claim that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes any fiduciary or similar duty to such Grantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
Section 5.13    Set-Off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 5.13 include the Issuing Bank) and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized by each Grantor at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Grantor or to any other Person (other than the Collateral Agent Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (time or demand, provisional or final, general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article II of the Credit Agreement and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

Each Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary) after that date hereof (a) is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.7 and Section 7.8 of the Credit Agreement and (b) shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Person of a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit I hereto.

[FORM OF]
PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT
This PATENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [__], 20[__], made by each of the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto (each a “Grantor” and collectively, the “Grantors”), in favor of Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2017 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement), the Grantors have granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors , and have agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement, for recording with national, federal and state government authorities, including, but not limited to, the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees with the Administrative Agent as follows:
Section 1.    Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby unconditionally pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and to all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in or to the following assets and properties whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located or in which such Grantor now has or at any time hereafter acquires any right, title or interest in (collectively, the “Patent Collateral”):
(a)    the patents and patent applications set forth in Schedule 1 hereto and all reissues, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, renewals, extensions and reexaminations thereof and amendments thereto (the "Patents");
(b)    all rights of any kind whatsoever of such Grantor accruing under any of the foregoing provided by applicable law of any jurisdiction, by international treaties and conventions and otherwise throughout the world; and
(c)    all proceeds of and revenues from the foregoing, including, without limitation, all proceeds of and revenues from any claim by such Grantor against third parties for past, present or future unfair competition with, or violation of intellectual property rights in connection with or injury to, or infringement or dilution of, any Patent owned by such Grantor (including, without limitation, any United States Patent identified in Schedule I hereto).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Patent Collateral does not and shall not include any Excluded Collateral. 

 

Section 2.    Security for Obligations. The grant of a security interest in the Patent Collateral by each Grantor under this Agreement secures the payment and performance of all of the Obligations of the Secured Parties now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and is not to be construed as an assignment of any Patent Collateral. 
Section 3.    Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes the Commissioner for Patents and any other government officials to record and register this Agreement upon request by the Administrative Agent.  
Section 4.    Loan Documents. This Agreement has been entered into pursuant to and in conjunction with the Security Agreement, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The provisions of the Security Agreement shall supersede and control over any conflicting or inconsistent provision herein. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Patent Collateral are as provided by the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement and related documents, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit such rights and remedies.  
Section 5.    Authorization to Supplement. Grantor shall comply with the obligations set forth in Section 4.4(b) of the Security Agreement in connection with obtaining rights to any new patent application or issued patent or become entitled to the benefit of any patent application or patent for any divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue, or reexamination of any existing patent or patent application. Without limiting Grantors’ obligations under this Section, Grantors hereby authorize the Administrative Agent unilaterally to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule I to include any such new patent rights of each Grantor identified on the schedules delivered by Grantors to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Security Agreement and which become part of the Collateral under the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure to so modify this Agreement or amend Schedule I shall in any way affect, invalidate or detract from the Administrative Agent’s continuing security interest in all Collateral, whether or not listed on Schedule I.
Section 6.    Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by different parties hereto in different counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., "pdf" or "tif" format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  
Section 7.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 8.    Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

 

Section 9.    No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto 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.
Section 10.    Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

TRADEMARK SECURITY AGREEMENT
This TRADEMARK SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [__], 20[__], made by each of the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto (each a “Grantor” and collectively, the “Grantors”), in favor of Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2017 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement), the Grantors have granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and have agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement, for recording with national, federal and state government authorities, including, but not limited to, the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees with the Administrative Agent as follows:
Section 1.    Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby unconditionally pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and to all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in or to the following assets and properties whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located or in which such Grantor now has or at any time hereafter acquires any right, title or interest in (collectively, the “Trademark Collateral”):

W I T N E S S E T H:

Section 1.2    Credit Agreement Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Guaranty, including its preamble and recitals, have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE II 
GUARANTY
Section 2.1    Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including, without limitation, all amounts which would have become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 362(a)) of the Obligations.
This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collection and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising. Each Guarantor hereby specifically, unconditionally jointly and severally agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Secured Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Collateral before or as a condition to the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.  Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, (a) the aggregate maximum amount of the Obligations for which any Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, void or voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer; and (b) the Obligations, as to any Guarantor, shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations.
Section 2.2    Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that, if any Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Section 9.1.9 of the Credit Agreement shall occur or the Credit Extensions are declared due and payable, each Guarantor will, automatically and without the requirement that any demand for payment be made, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties forthwith the full amount of the Obligations that are then due and payable and for purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition (whether in a bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Borrower or otherwise) preventing such declaration as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration or automatic acceleration, such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for purposes of this Guaranty. 

Page 2

Section 2.3    Guaranty Absolute. This Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment and shall remain in full force and effect until (i) all the Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) have been paid in full in cash (or, in the case of Letter of Credit Outstandings not then due and owing, have been Cash Collateralized, in each case in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter of Credit Outstandings) and (ii) all Commitments shall have expired or irrevocably terminated (the occurrence of clauses (i) and (ii), the “Discharge of Obligations”).  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the agreement under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty and the validity and enforceability of this Guaranty, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: 
(a)    any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any thereof; 
(b)    the failure of any Secured Party: 
(i)    to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or 
(ii)    to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any of the Obligations; 
(c)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any compromise, renewal, extension, acceleration or release with respect thereto, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document; 
(d)    any addition, exchange, release, impairment or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; 
(e)    any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Secured Party; 
(f)    any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of the Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, the Obligations or otherwise; or 

Page 3

(g)    any other circumstances (other than the Discharge of Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor, including as a result of any proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 9.1.9 of the Credit Agreement;
all whether or not any Guarantor shall have had any notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (g). It is agreed that each Guarantor’s liability hereunder is several and independent of any other guarantees or other obligations not arising under this Guaranty at any time in effect with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof and that each Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guarantees or other obligations not arising under this Guaranty or any provision of any applicable Law purporting to prohibit payment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Obligations in the manner agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any other holder of Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to any future transaction giving rise to any Obligation
Section 2.4    Reinstatement, etc. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 2.4 shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.
Section 2.5    Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, presentment, protest, promptness, diligence, demand, action, delinquency, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty, including but not limited to the extension or continuation of the Obligations or any part thereof, and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien on any property or exhaust any right or take any action against the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor of the Obligations) or any collateral securing the Obligations. 
Section 2.6    Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by applicable Law, until the Discharge of Obligations, any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy 

Page 4

of any Secured Party against the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any collateral which any Secured Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract or Law. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 2.6 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
Section 2.7    Payments; Payments Free of Taxes. All payments made by the Guarantors hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim to an account designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall be shall be free and clear of all Taxes except as provided in Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other guarantor (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
Section 2.9    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed by such other Guarantor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Guaranty  in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Guaranty voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 2.9 shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Obligations.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section 2.9 to constitute, and this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each other Guarantor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
ARTICLE III  
REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

Section 4.2    Amendments; Additional Guarantors; Successors and Assigns. 
(a)    No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor affected thereby, the Administrative Agent and the percentage of the Lenders as required by Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.
(b)    Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Guaranty Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall be and become a Guarantor, and each reference in this Guaranty to “Guarantor” shall also mean and refer to such Additional Guarantor. 
(c)    Any Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary or is sold or disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement after the date hereof shall, promptly following a written notification by such Guarantor or the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, be automatically released from the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents. Promptly following such notice by such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole cost of the Guarantor, sign any releases or similar documentation reasonably requested by such Guarantor in order to evidence such release.

Section 4.4    No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall have all remedies available at law or equity, including without limitation, the remedy of specific performance for any breach of any provision hereof. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or equity. 
Section 4.5    Right to Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or any such Secured Party, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Guaranty. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) after any such set-off and application made by the Administrative Agent or any such Secured Party, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section 4.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties may have.
