Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, when the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.
Section 1.05    Times of Day.  Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

The Credits
Section 2.01    Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:
(a)    each Term B Lender with a Term B Loan Commitment severally agrees to make in Dollars Closing Date Term B Loans to the Term Facility Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Term B Loan Commitment in respect of such Closing Date Term B Loans;
(b)    each Revolving Facility Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment in respect of the applicable Class severally agrees to make in Dollars Revolving Facility Loans (including Incremental Revolving Loans) of such Class in Dollars to any Revolving Facility Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment of such Class or (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Facility Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Facility Loans;
(c)    each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment with respect to any Class severally agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Loans of such Class to the Term Facility Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment with respect to such Class; 
(d)    each Lender having a commitment to make Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Replacement Revolving Loans, in each case, of any Class, severally agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make such Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Replacement Revolving Loans; and
(e)    amounts of Term Loans borrowed under this Section 2.01 that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 
Section 2.02    Loans and Borrowings.  (%3) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans under the same Facility and of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments under the applicable Facility (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, in accordance with their respective Swingline Commitments); provided, however, that Revolving Facility Loans of any Class shall be made by the Revolving Facility Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages on the date such Loans are made hereunder.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided further that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.  The Term Facility Obligations and the Revolving Facility Obligations shall be several but not joint obligations of the Term Facility Borrower and the Revolving Facility Borrowers, respectively. The Revolving Facility Obligations shall be joint and several obligations of the Revolving Facility Borrowers.
(b)    Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing) shall be composed entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as a Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  Each Swingline Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.
(c)    At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum.  At the time that each ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused available balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e).  Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum.  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than (i) 8 Eurocurrency Borrowings relating to the Term Loans at any time and (ii) 8 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility at any time.  For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing of any Class if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date for such Class, as applicable.
Section 2.03    Requests for Borrowings.  To request a Revolving Facility Borrowing and/or a Term Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m. Local Time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing; provided that, (i) to request a Eurodollar or ABR Borrowing on the Closing Date, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 5:00 p.m., Local Time, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree) and (ii) any such notice of an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic means to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by such Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Term B Loans, Other Term Loans (and specifying a particular Class of such Other Term Loans), Initial Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Loans (and specifying a particular Class of such Other Revolving Loans), as applicable;
(ii)    the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(iii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv)    whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
(v)    in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
(vi)    the location and number of such Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04    Swingline Loans.  (%3) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to any Revolving Facility Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of the applicable Class exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Borrowing.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Facility Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(a)    To request a Swingline Borrowing, a Revolving Facility Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by electronic means), not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing.  Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing.  The Swingline Lender shall consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Swingline Lender funding such Swingline Loan.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of such Revolving Facility Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank). 
(b)    The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Facility Lenders of the applicable Class to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by it.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Facility Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Facility Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Revolving Facility Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Revolving Facility Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Revolving Facility Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.
(c)    The Revolving Facility Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Swingline Lenders one or more Revolving Facility Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by a Revolving Facility Lender of an appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Borrowers, executed by the Revolving Facility Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such designated Swingline Lender, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Facility Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Facility Lender in its capacity as a lender of Swingline Loans hereunder.
Section 2.05    Letters of Credit.  (%3) General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Revolving Facility Borrower may request the issuance of one or more letters of credit or bank guarantees in Dollars or any Alternate Currency in the form of (x) trade letters of credit in support of trade obligations of such Revolving Facility Borrower and its Affiliates incurred in the ordinary course of business (such letters of credit issued for such purposes, “Trade Letters of Credit”) and (y) standby letters of credit or bank guarantees issued for any other lawful purposes of such Revolving Facility Borrower and its Affiliates (such letters of credit or bank guarantees issued for such purposes, “Standby Letters of Credit”; each such letter of credit or bank guarantee, issued hereunder, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for its own account or for the account of any Group Member in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the applicable Availability Period and prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the applicable Maturity Date.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by such Revolving Facility Borrower to, or entered into by such Revolving Facility Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(a)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic extension in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), a Revolving Facility Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency (which may be Dollars or any Alternate Currency) of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit constitutes a Standby Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Facility Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank does not otherwise issue letters of credit in such Alternate Currency. 
(b)    Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the applicable Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one year tenor may provide for automatic renewal or extension thereof for additional one year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)) so long as such Letter of Credit permits the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued; provided further that, if the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent consent in their sole discretion, the expiration date on any Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above, provided that, if any such Letter of Credit is outstanding or is issued under the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class after the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date for such Class such Revolving Facility Borrower shall provide Letter of Credit Support pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 103% of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to such Maturity Date or, if later, such date of issuance.  
(c)    Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) under the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender under such Class, and each such Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (calculated, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof).  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason (calculated, in the case of any Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof).  Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments or the fact that, as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at any time might exceed its Revolving Facility Commitment at such time (in which case Section 2.11(c) would apply), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(d)    Reimbursement.  If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Disbursement (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the first Business Day after the Revolving Facility Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement (or the second Business Day, if such notice is received after 12:00 noon, Local Time), together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such L/C Disbursement at the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class; provided that such Revolving Facility Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Revolving Facility Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing.  If such Revolving Facility Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other applicable Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from such Revolving Facility Borrower in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment of the applicable Class shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Revolving Facility Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.
(e)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of each applicable Revolving Facility Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) 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, or provide a right of setoff against, such Revolving Facility Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to such Revolving Facility Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Revolving Facility Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Revolving Facility Borrower that are determined by final and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(f)    Disbursement Procedures.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) of any such demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Revolving Facility Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.
(g)    Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans of the applicable Class; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by such Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment.
(h)    Replacement of an Issuing Bank.  An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Revolving Facility Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Revolving Facility Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(i)    Letter of Credit Support Following Certain Events.  If and when the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower is required to provide Letter of Credit Support with respect to any Revolving L/C Exposure relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to any of Section 2.05(c), 2.08(b), 2.11(b), 2.11(c), 2.11(d), 2.22(a)(v) or 7.01, such Revolving Facility Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Minimum Letter of Credit Support Amount with respect to such Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date (or, in the case of Sections 2.05(c), 2.08(b), 2.11(b), 2.11(c) and 2.22(a)(v), the portion thereof required by such sections).  Each deposit of Letter of Credit Support (x) made pursuant to this paragraph or (y) delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(ii), in each case, shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of such Revolving Facility Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, such  Revolving Facility Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of such Revolving Facility Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of such Revolving Facility Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Revolving Facility Borrower under this Agreement.  If a Revolving Facility Borrower is required to provide Letter of Credit Support hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender or the occurrence of a limit under Section 2.11(b) or (c) being exceeded, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Revolving Facility Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the termination of the Defaulting Lender status or the limits under Sections 2.11(b) and (c) no longer being exceeded, as applicable.
(j)    Letter of Credit Support Following Termination of the Revolving Facility.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and the termination of all Revolving Facility Commitments in connection with which the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower notifies any one or more Issuing Banks that it intends to maintain one or more Letters of Credit initially issued under this Agreement in effect after the date of such termination event (each, a “Continuing Letter of Credit”), such Revolving Facility Borrower shall provide Letter of Credit Support with respect to such Continuing Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to the Minimum Letter of Credit Support Amount, which shall be deposited with or at the direction of each such Issuing Bank. 
(k)    Additional Issuing Banks.  From time to time, the Revolving Facility Borrowers may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate any Lender (in addition to the initial Issuing Bank) that agrees (in its sole discretion) to act as an Issuing Bank and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank.  Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.
(l)    Reporting.  Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from any Revolving Facility Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and such Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised such Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
Section 2.06    Funding of Borrowings.  (%3)   Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such 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, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time.  If such 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 such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(b)    The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Lenders (including by means of Swingline Loans to the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower).  In such event, the applicable Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Revolving Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested.  The entire amount of interest attributable to such Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Revolving Facility Loan was made on such Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Revolving Facility Loan by such Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.
Section 2.07    Interest Elections.  (%3)   Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  Such Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted into or continued as Eurocurrency Borrowings.
(a)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic means to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request and signed by such Borrower.
(b)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  If less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall be in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and satisfy the limitations specified in Section 2.02(c) regarding the maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type.
(c)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(d)    If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.08    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (%3) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments of each Class shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date for such Class.  On the Closing Date (after the funding of the Closing Date Term B Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(a)), the Term B Loan Commitments of each Lender in effect on the Closing Date will terminate.
(a)    The Revolving Facility Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class) and (ii) the Revolving Facility Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 and provision of any Letter of Credit Support in accordance with Section 2.05(j) or (k), the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class (excluding any Letter of Credit for which Letter of Credit Support has been provided) would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class. 
(b)    The Revolving Facility Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Revolving Facility Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class delivered by the Revolving Facility Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Revolving Facility Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Revolving Facility Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
Section 2.09    Evidence of Debt.  (%3)   Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(b)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”).  In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to such Borrower.  Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if requested by such payee, to such payee and its registered assigns).
Section 2.10    Repayment of Loans.  (%3)   Subject to the other clauses of this Section, 
(i)    each Revolving Facility Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of its Revolving Facility Loan on the Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Facility Loan and (B) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan applicable to any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments on the earlier of the Maturity Date for such Class and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that, on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by a Revolving Facility Borrower, such Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding; 
(ii)    the Term Facility Borrower shall repay the Term B Loans on the applicable Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the then unpaid principal amount of the Term B Loans outstanding;
(iii)    in the event that any Other Term Loans are made, the Term Facility Borrower shall repay such Other Term Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement (each such date being referred to as an “Other Term Loan Installment Date”); and
(iv)    to the extent not previously paid, outstanding Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date.
(b)    Any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to the remaining installments (if any) of the Term Loans under the applicable Class or Classes as the Term Facility Borrower may in each case direct.
(c)    Prior to any prepayment of any Loan under any Facility hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Facility to be prepaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, at least one Business Day before the scheduled date of such prepayment (or in the case of a Swingline Loan, on the scheduled date of such prepayment) and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, at least three Business Days before the scheduled date of such prepayment (or, in each case such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Each repayment and prepayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility of any Class, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders of such Class at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing.  All repayments of Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid to the extent required by Section 2.13(d).
Section 2.11    Optional Prepayment of Loans; Cash Collateralization; Letter of Credit Support.  (%3)   Any applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(c).
(a)    In the event that the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall Cash Collateralize or prepay Revolving Facility Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings of such Class (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, provide Letter of Credit Support in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(b)    In the event that the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall provide Letter of Credit Support pursuant to Section 2.05(j) in an amount equal to such excess.
(c)    If as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, on any Revaluation Date, (i) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class or (ii) the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of such Revaluation Date (A) prepay Revolving Facility Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings or (B) provide Letter of Credit Support pursuant to Section 2.05(j), in an aggregate amount such that the applicable exposure does not exceed the applicable commitment, sublimit or amount set forth above.
Section 2.12    Fees.  (%3)   Each applicable Revolving Facility Borrower agrees to pay to each applicable Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the date that is three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year (beginning in March 2014) and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the applicable Available Unused Commitment of such Revolving Facility Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee.  All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.  For the purpose of calculating any Revolving Facility Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Revolving Facility Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero.  The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.
(a)    Each applicable Revolving Facility Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each applicable Revolving Facility Lender of each Class (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the date that is three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Revolving Facility Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee in Dollars (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) of such Class, during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the applicable Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings of such Class effective for each day in such period, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account (x) on the date that is three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Revolving Facility Lenders shall be terminated, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum of the daily stated amount of such Letter of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”).  All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
(b)    The Term Facility Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the agency fees as set forth in the Fee Letter, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).
(c)    All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks.  Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.13    Interest.  (%3) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(a)    The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.13 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in clause (a) of this Section; provided that this clause (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.
(c)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, on the applicable Maturity Date; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Facility Loan that is an ABR Loan that is not made in conjunction with a permanent commitment reduction), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(d)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.14    Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies such Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
Section 2.15    Increased Costs.  (%3)   If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; 
(ii)    subject any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Tax with respect to any Loan Document or any Loan made by it (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 or (ii) Excluded Taxes); or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time each applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of “Change in Law” shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to such Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions.  Such Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower thereof.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that such Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16    Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.17    Taxes.  (%3)   Any and all payments made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law.  If a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as determined in the good faith discretion of  the applicable withholding agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.17, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(b)    The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate setting forth the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c)    Each Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding of Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, any such withholding of Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation or other information requested by the Borrower if such Lender is not legally eligible to do so. 
(d)    Without limiting the generality of Section 2.17(d), each Foreign Lender with respect to any Loan made to the applicable Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so:
(i)    deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the date on which the first payment to the Foreign Lender is due under any Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two copies of (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any applicable successor form) together with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, such certificate, the “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”) certifying that such Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a “10-percent shareholder” (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of such Borrower and is not a CFC related to such Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and that the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business within the United States of America, (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by such Borrower under any Loan Document, (C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A) and (B) above, provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more of the partners is claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such partners) or (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(ii)    deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) promptly after any such form or certification previously delivered by it expires or becomes obsolete, inaccurate or invalid, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
Any Foreign Lender that becomes legally ineligible to update any form or certification previously delivered shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such Foreign Lender’s inability to do so.
In addition, the Administrative Agent that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code shall deliver to the applicable Borrower that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code (x) prior to the date on which the first payment by such Borrower is due hereunder, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying its exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding, and (y) promptly after any such previously delivered form expires or becomes obsolete, inaccurate or invalid two further copies of such documentation.
(e)    If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by a Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Loan Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Loan Party for such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax giving rise to such refund had not been imposed in the first instance; provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event the Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  In such event, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the applicable Borrower’s request, provide such Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund to the extent such notice or evidence has been received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential).  A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim.  No Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 2.17.
(f)    If any Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts or indemnification payments, each affected Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower as such Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax.  Such Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person in connection with any request made by such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(g).  Nothing in this Section 2.14(g) shall obligate any Lender or the Administrative Agent to take any action that such person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such person.
(g)    Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to each applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent two Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding (i) prior to the date on which the first payment to the such U.S. Lender is due under any Loan Document, (ii) as soon as practicable after such form expires or becomes obsolete, inaccurate or invalid, and (iii) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
(h)    If a payment made to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such 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 such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(i)    The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.
For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable Requirement of Law” includes FATCA.
Section 2.18    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs; Subordination Terms.  (%3) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  Except with respect to Alternate Currency Letters of Credit (to the extent payments thereunder are required to be provided in any Alternate Currency), all payments made under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars.  Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
(a)    Subject to Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from any applicable Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Swingline Loans and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(b)    Subject to the Subordination Terms, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled to receive the same proportion of such payment, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of such other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the principal amount of each such Lender’s respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon; 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 clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or 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 L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant.  Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any  Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(d)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06, or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
(e)    The provisions of this Section 2.18(f) (these “Subordination Terms”) shall apply to any Subordinated Obligations.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Subordinated Obligations are subordinated and subject in right of payment to the Senior Obligations such that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of the amounts constituting the Senior Obligations and, in that connection, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, until the date that is the earlier to occur of (x) such time as there are no Events of Default continuing and (y) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the principal of and interest on, and all other amounts in respect of, all Senior Obligations:
(1)    subject to paragraphs (f)(ii) and (f)(iii) below, all payments on account of the principal of or interest on, or any other amount in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations shall not be made to the Affiliate Lenders and shall instead be held by the Administrative Agent in trust for the benefit of, the Senior Creditors, ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full in cash; and 

(2)    no Affiliate Lender shall (A) ask, demand, sue for, accelerate or take or receive from any Loan Party, by set-off or in any other manner, any payment on account of Subordinated Obligations or (B) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity against any Loan Party for breach of such Loan Party’s obligations thereunder.

(ii)    In the event of any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party (other than any such transaction not then constituting a continuing Default), whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, then upon any payment or distribution of assets (including, without limitation, debt or equity interests issued by such Loan Party or any successor thereto) of such Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to any of its creditors (including any Affiliate Lender) of any amounts (including interest, indemnities and fees) due or to become due, all Senior Obligations shall first be paid in full in cash before any Affiliate Lender shall be entitled to retain any assets so paid or distributed in respect of the Subordinated Obligations (for principal, premium, interest or otherwise) and, to that end, the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities that would, but for these Subordination Terms, be paid or delivered to an Affiliate Lender.  If an Affiliate Lender shall have failed to file claims or proofs of claim with respect to the Subordinated Obligations at least 30 days prior to the deadline for any such filing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Creditors, is hereby irrevocably authorized to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension and file proofs of claim and otherwise to act with respect to the Subordinated Obligations as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate using its reasonable discretion under the circumstances.  Each Affiliate Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Creditors, all information and documents necessary to present claims or seek enforcement as aforesaid and will duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may request to collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Senior Creditors and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim with respect thereto.  No Affiliate Lender shall take any action or vote in any way so as to contest (A) the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, (B) the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Senior Creditors established in any of the Loan Documents or (C) the validity or enforceability of the subordination provisions set forth in this Section 2.18(f).
(iii)    If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of the Subordinated Obligations shall be received by an Affiliate Lender in contravention of these Subordination Terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Obligations in full in cash.  
(iv)    So long as any Senior Obligation is outstanding, no Affiliate Lender shall commence in its capacity as a creditor, or join with any creditor (other than any Senior Creditor) in commencing, or directly or indirectly cause any Loan Party to commence, or assist any Loan Party in commencing, any proceeding referred to clause (ii) above.
(v)    The provisions of these Subordination Terms constitute a continuing agreement and shall (A) remain in full force and effect until all Senior Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (B) be binding upon each Affiliate Lender and the Loan Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assignees, and (C) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Senior Creditors.
(vi)    These Subordination Terms shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Senior Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
(vii)    Each of the Affiliate Lenders hereby waives any and all rights to be subrogated to the rights of any Senior Creditor under or with respect to the Senior Obligations.
(viii)    No right of the Senior Creditors to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Loan Parties or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by the Senior Creditors, or by any noncompliance by the Loan Parties with the terms of the Senior Obligations or the Subordinated Obligations, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such Senior Creditor may have or be otherwise charged with.  The Senior Creditors may extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of the Senior Obligations or any security thereof and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with the Loan Parties, all without affecting the rights of the Senior Creditors hereunder.
(ix)    All rights and interests hereunder or under the other Loan Documents of the Senior Creditors, and all agreements and obligations of any Affiliate Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or of any provision of any thereof, or (B) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Loan Parties in respect of, any of the Obligations.
The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 2.18(f) set forth a contractual agreement of the type contemplated by Section 510(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”.  The provisions of this Section 2.18(f) are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Creditors on the one hand, and the Affiliate Lenders on the other hand, and nothing in this Section 2.18(f) shall impair, as between the Loan Parties and the Affiliate Lenders, the obligation of the Loan Parties to pay to the Affiliate Lenders the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, nor shall anything in this Section 2.18(f) prevent the Affiliate Lenders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law in respect hereof, subject to the rights under this Section 2.18(f) of the Senior Creditors.
(f)    Each prepayment by a Borrower on account of principal of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be made pro rata, first, to the Term Loans that are Senior Obligations according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans that are Senior Obligations then held by the Senior Creditors, and upon indefeasible payment in full in cash of the principal of and interest on, and all other amounts in respect of, all Term Loans that are Senior Obligations, each prepayment by a Borrower on account of principal of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be made pro rata to the Term Loans that are Subordinated Obligations according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Affiliate Lenders.  Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (%3)   If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.  Such Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.  Nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(a).
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank), which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that such Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.  No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price.  In connection with any such assignment, such Borrower, Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04, provided that if such removed Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after such Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.
(b)    If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the applicable Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to (and any such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon such Borrower’s request) assign its Loans and its Commitments (or, at such Borrower’s option, the Loans and Commitments under the Facility that is the subject of the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination) hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to (i) the Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of an assignment of Term Loans, such assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and (ii) if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Facility Loan, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank; provided that: (a) all Loan Obligations of such Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the replacement Lender or such Borrower shall pay any amount required by Section 2.11 as if such assignment constituted a prepayment of the assigning Lender’s Loans and (c) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination.  No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price.  In connection with any such assignment, such Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided that, if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after such Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.
Section 2.20    Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, such Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
(a)    The applicable Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender.  Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that:
(iii)    any commitments to make the Incremental Term B Loans and/or additional Initial Revolving Loans shall have the same terms as the Closing Date Term B Loans or Initial Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect on the Closing Date, respectively,
(iv)    the Other Incremental Term Loans shall be unsecured (or secured by cash collateral on substantially the same terms as those set forth herein) and (unless such Other Incremental Term Loans constitute Subordinated Obligations (in which case such Loans shall be subject to the Subordination Terms)) shall rank pari passu with or, at the option of the Term Facility Borrower, junior in right of payment to the Term B Loans that are Senior Obligations,
(v)    the final maturity date of any Other Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the Term B Loans and, except as to pricing, amortization, final maturity date and participation in prepayments, shall have (x) substantially identical terms as the Term B Loans or (y) such other terms (including as to guarantees) as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
(vi)    the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Other Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans,
(vii)    the Other Incremental Revolving Loans shall be unsecured (or secured by cash collateral on substantially the same terms as those set forth herein) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Initial Revolving Loans,
(viii)    the final maturity date of any Other Incremental Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Revolving Loans and, except as to pricing, final maturity date, participation in prepayments and commitment reductions, shall have (x) substantially identical terms as the Initial Revolving Loans or (y) such other terms (including as to guarantees) as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, 
(ix)    (A) the Other Incremental Revolving Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Initial Revolving Loans in (x) any prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder and (y) any Borrowing at the time such Borrowing is made and (B) the Other Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Term B Loans in any prepayment hereunder, 
(x)    there shall be no obligor in respect of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments that is not a Loan Party, and
(xi)    no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment as a result of any such request by any Borrower, and, until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.21, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Loans.
Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e).  Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the applicable Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement, the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower or (in the case of any Borrower that is a limited partnership) of its general partner, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 and such additional customary documents and filings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assure that the Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are secured by the Collateral, to the extent applicable, ratably with one or more Classes of then-existing Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans.
(c)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Incremental Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and (ii) all Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (other than Other Incremental Revolving Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis.  Each Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (e) through (i) of this Section 2.21), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Term Facility Borrower and/or a Revolving Facility Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitments, respectively, on a pro rata basis (based, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, on the aggregate outstanding Term Loans of such Class and, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility, as applicable) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Term Facility Borrower and/or such Revolving Facility Borrower, respectively, is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans).  For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, (i) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, that all of the Term Loans of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same and (ii) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, that all of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Facility are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same.  Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the applicable Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing a Term Loan for such Lender if such Lender is extending an existing Term Loan (such extended Term Loan, an “Extended Term Loan”) or a Revolving Facility Commitment for such Lender if such Lender is extending an existing Revolving Facility Commitment (such extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Facility Commitment”, and the Loans thereunder, the “Extended Revolving Loans”).  Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the Extended Term Loan shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than five Business Days after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). 
(e)    The applicable Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of such Extending Lender.  Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, amortization, final maturity date and participation in prepayments and commitment reductions (which shall, subject to clauses (ii), (iii) and (vi) of this proviso, be determined by the Term Facility Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Term Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Maturity Date in effect for the Term Loans on the date of incurrence, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms (which interest rates, fees and other pricing terms shall not be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.21(b)(iii)), participation in prepayments and commitment reductions and final maturity (which shall, subject to clause (v) of this proviso, be determined by the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments or (y) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) than the Initial Revolving Loans in any prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) than the Term B Loans in any repayment or prepayment hereunder and (vii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments as a result of any such request by any Borrower, and, until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.21, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Extended Term Loans and/or provide or fund any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments.  Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e).  Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the applicable Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.  If provided in any Incremental Assumption Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments, and with the consent of each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in the manner specified in such Incremental Assumption Agreement, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.
(f)    Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Term Loan (or applicable portion thereof) will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment (or applicable portion thereof) will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Facility Commitment.  For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) if such Extending Lender is extending a Term Loan, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have a Term Loan having the terms of such Extended Term Loan and (ii) if such Extending Lender is extending a Revolving Facility Commitment, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have a Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment), (iv) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment implemented thereby, (v) no consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate an Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans and/or Commitments (or a portion thereof), which consent will be in each Lender’s sole discretion, (vi) all Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be unsecured (or secured by cash collateral on substantially the same terms as those set forth herein) and (unless constituting Subordinated Obligations (in which case such Loans or commitments shall be subject to the Subordination Terms)) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loan Obligations of the Senior Creditors, (vii) no Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be obligated to provide Swingline Loans or issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto, and (viii) there shall be no obligor in respect of any such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments that is not a Loan Party.
(h)    Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the applicable Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (j) through (o) of this Section 2.21), the Term Facility Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), the net proceeds of which are used to Refinance in whole or in part any Class of Term Loans.  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Term Facility Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that:
(i)    before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans;
(ii)    the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the refinanced Term Loans;
(iii)    the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Term Loans;
(iv)    the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Term Loans plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith;
(v)    all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates or any other pricing terms and prepayment terms, which, subject to clause (iii) above and clause (viii) below, shall be as agreed between the Term Facility Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Group Members than the terms, taken as a whole, applicable to the Term B Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the Term Loans or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as determined by the Term Facility Borrower in good faith.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Facility Borrower may establish Refinancing Term Loans to refinance and/or replace all or any portion of a Revolving Facility Commitment (regardless of whether Revolving Facility Loans are outstanding under such Revolving Facility Commitments at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans), so long as (i) the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loans does not exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments terminated at the time of incurrence thereof, (ii) if the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure outstanding on the Refinancing Effective Date would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments outstanding in each case after giving effect to the termination of such Revolving Facility Commitments, the Term Facility Borrower shall take one or more actions such that such Revolving Facility Credit Exposure does not exceed such aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments in effect on the Refinancing Effective Date after giving effect to the termination of such Revolving Facility Commitments (it being understood that such Refinancing Term Loans may be provided by the Lenders holding the Revolving Facility Commitments being terminated and/or by any other person that would be a permitted Assignee hereunder, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining life to termination of the terminated Revolving Facility Commitments, (iv) the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the termination date of the terminated Revolving Facility Commitments, (v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates or any other pricing terms and prepayment terms, which, subject to subclause (iii) above and clause (viii) below, shall be as agreed between the Term Facility Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Group Members than the terms, taken as a whole, applicable to the Term B Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Maturity Date in effect with respect to the Term B Loans or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as determined by the Term Facility Borrower in good faith and (vi) before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans;
(vi)    Refinancing Term Loans shall be unsecured (or secured by cash collateral on substantially the same terms as those set forth herein) and (unless constituting Subordinated Obligations (in which case such Refinancing Term Loans shall be subject to the Subordination Terms)) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loan Obligations of the Senior Creditors; 
(vii)    there shall be no obligor in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans that is not a Loan Party; 
(viii)    the Refinancing Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Term B Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder; and
(ix)    no Lender shall be obligated to provide Refinancing Term Loans as a result of any such request by any Borrower, and, until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide Refinancing Term Loans and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement as provided in clause (j) of this Section 2.21, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Refinancing Term Loans. 
(j)    The Term Facility Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted Assignee pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan.  Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided further that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Refinancing Term Loans, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans made to the Term Facility Borrower.
(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clause (l) through (o) of this Section 2.21), any Revolving Facility Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional Facilities providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments under this Agreement.  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date”) on which such Revolving Facility Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that: (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the aggregate amount of any other Revolving Facility Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence for the Revolving Facility Commitments being replaced; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which, subject to clause (iii) above and clause (vi) below, shall be as agreed between such Revolving Facility Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit and swingline commitment under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between such Revolving Facility Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank and replacement swingline lender, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially more favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments than those, taken as a whole, applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); (v) there shall be no obligor in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility that is not a Loan Party; (vi) the Replacement Revolving Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) than the Initial Revolving Loans in (x) any prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder and (y) any Borrowing at the time such Borrowing is made and (vii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment as a result of any such request by any Borrower, and, until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement as provided in clause (l) of this Section 2.21, such Lender shall not be obligated to provide or fund any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments.  In addition, any Revolving Facility Borrower may establish Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments to refinance and/or replace all or any portion of a Term Loan hereunder (regardless of whether such Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of Replacement Revolving Loans or with other amounts), so long as the aggregate amount of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of Term Loans repaid at the time of establishment thereof (it being understood that such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment may be provided by the Lenders holding the Term Loans being repaid and/or by any other person that would be a permitted Assignee hereunder) so long as (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant agreement governing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, (ii) the weighted average life to termination of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall be not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity then applicable to the refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the final termination date of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date of the refinanced Term Loans, (iv)  Replacement Revolving Loans shall be unsecured (or secured by cash collateral on substantially the same terms as those set forth herein) and (unless constituting Subordinated Obligations (in which case such Replacement Revolving Loans shall be subject to the Subordination Terms)) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loan Obligations of the Senior Creditors and (v) the requirement of clause (v) in the preceding sentence shall be satisfied mutatis mutandis.
(l)    Any Revolving Facility Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted Assignee of a Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment.  Any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment made on any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.
(m)    On any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each of the Lenders with Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class shall purchase from each of the other Lenders with Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof and in the applicable currencies, such interests in the Replacement Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class then outstanding on such Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Replacement Revolving Loans and participations of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class will be held by the Lenders thereunder ratably in accordance with their Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments.
(n)    For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have a Term Loan having the terms of such Refinancing Term Loan and (ii) if a Lender is providing a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment, such Lender will be deemed to have an Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.21), (i) the aggregate amount of Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) no Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (iii) there shall be no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clauses (j) or (l) above, as applicable, and (iv) all Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be unsecured (or secured by cash collateral on substantially the same terms as those set forth herein) and (except to the extent constituting Subordinated Obligations, in which case they shall be subject to the Subordination Terms) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Loan Obligations.
(o)    Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) for the purpose of determining the number of outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowings upon the incurrence of any Incremental Loans, (x) to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Eurocurrency Borrowings under the Term Facilities fall on the same day, such Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be considered a single Eurocurrency Borrowing and (y) to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Eurocurrency Borrowings under the Revolving Facilities fall on the same day, such Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be considered a single Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) the initial Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing of Incremental Loans may, at the applicable Borrower’s option, be of a duration of a number of Business Days that is less than one month, and the Adjusted LIBO Rate with respect to such initial Interest Period shall be the same as the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to any then-outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing as such Borrower may direct, so long as the last day of such initial Interest Period is the same as the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing.
Section 2.21    Defaulting Lender.  (%3)   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, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 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 Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder, third, to provide Letter of Credit Support for the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j), fourth, as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), 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, fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) provide Letter of Credit Support for the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.05(j), sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to such Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such 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.  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 provide Letter of Credit Support pursuant to this Section 2.22 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 Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Letter of Credit Support.
(C)    With respect to any Commitment Fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or the Swingline 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 Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. 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)    Letter of Credit Support; Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the (i) Administrative Agent or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, provide Letter of Credit Support for the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j).
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank 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 provision of any Letter of Credit Support), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Facility 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 Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender shall be deemed to no longer 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 any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Banks shall not 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 2.22    Grant of Security.  Each Loan Party hereby grants a security interest in the Collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lender Parties (or, in the case of that portion of the Collateral constituting Letter of Credit Support for Continuing Letters of Credit, to the applicable Issuing Bank, for the benefit of such Issuing Bank).

The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when it deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Cash Collateral (including, without limitation, any cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.11(b)) or any Letter of Credit Support unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing (a) with respect to any Letter of Credit Support relating to any Continuing Letter of Credit, by the applicable Issuing Bank and (b) in all other cases, by the Administrative Agent.  Should any instrument in writing from any Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Borrower and such other Loan Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent.  If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 8.03    Exculpatory Provisions.  None of the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof or (in the case of any limited partnership) of its general partner, as applicable, contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower, a Lender or Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 8.04    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, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation 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 any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), 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.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
Section 8.05    Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
Section 8.06    Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of, the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 8.07    Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank, in each case in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and, in the case of the indemnification of the Administrative Agent, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments hereunder; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to the Swingline Lender and of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s, as applicable,  gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount.  The agreements in this Section 8.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 8.08    Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan participated in, by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 8.09    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Term Facility Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (f)  shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Term Facility Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.10    Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the persons named on the cover page hereof as Joint Bookrunners, Joint Lead Arrangers or Syndication Agent is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except that each such person and its Affiliates shall be entitled to the rights expressly stated to be applicable to them in Section 9.05 and 9.17 (subject to the applicable obligations and limitations as set forth therein).
Section 8.11    Loan Documents.  The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any collateral (including any Letter of Credit Support) or/and Guarantors in accordance with Section 9.18.
Section 8.12    Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranties.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, 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 the Loan Documents.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party hereby agree that no Lender Party individually shall have any right individually to realize upon any Collateral (including any Letter of Credit Support) or to enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Lender Parties and in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Lender Parties and in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (provided, however, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit Support relating to any Continuing Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall have the right to enforce or realize upon such Letter of Credit Support). 
Section 8.13    Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by such authority, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, fines, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.13.  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.  The agreements set forth in this Section 8.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an Affiliate Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments), unless each of the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that such amount shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Related Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any; provided further that no such consent of any Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)    the parties to each assignment shall (1) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (2) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the discretion of the Administrative Agent);
(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and
(D)    the Assignee shall not be a Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries except in accordance with Section 9.04(i) and Section 9.21.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund”, with respect to a Lender or a Participant, means any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) such Lender or such Participant, respectively, (b) an Affiliate of such Lender or such Participant, respectively, or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages such Lender or such Participant, respectively.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (A) any Ineligible Institution, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of the Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause (B), or (C) a natural person.  Any assigning Lender shall, in connection with any potential assignment, provide to the applicable Borrower a copy of its request (including the name of the prospective assignee) concurrently with its delivery of the same request to the Administrative Agent irrespective of whether or not an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing.   
(iv)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections)); provided that an Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment pursuant to Section 2.17 than the applicable Assignor would have been entitled to receive had no such assignment occurred unless the assignment is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent in accordance with Section 9.04(b)(i) (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that each potential Assignee shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower in order for such Borrower to determine whether to provide its consent.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 clause (d) of this Section 9.04.
(v)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s own interests only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(vi)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04, if applicable, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subclause (v).
(b)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its applicable Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.01(or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) the Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c)    (%4) Any Lender may, with the consent of the applicable Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) but not the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than any Ineligible Institution or any Defaulting Lender (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further that the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any sale of participations described above in respect of Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any modification of Section 6.07) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant.  Subject to clause (d)(iii) of this Section 9.04, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections and Section 2.19 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17 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 9.04.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.
(i)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each party hereto 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.  Without limitation of the requirements of Section 9.04(d), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Loan Obligations under any Loan Document), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Loan Obligation is in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes or is otherwise required by applicable law.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent in accordance with Section 9.04(d)(i) (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that each potential Participant shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower in order for such Borrower to determine whether to provide its consent.
(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any Central Bank having jurisdiction over such Lender and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)    Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (e) above.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  Each of the Loan Parties, Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.
(g)    If any Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility applicable to it with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.08(d)).  Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by such Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.05(b).  By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith.  
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(c) (which provisions shall not be applicable to clause (i) of this Section 9.04), the Public Company, any Group Member or any of their respective Affiliates may purchase from time to time, at individually negotiated prices or otherwise, any Term Loan or Term Facility Commitment from any of the Lenders, in a pro rata or non pro rata manner, and without the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other person (each such purchase by the Public Company, any Group Member or any of their respective Affiliates, a “Permitted Loan Purchase”, and each Lender holding a Term Loan or Term Facility Commitment acquired through a Permitted Loan Purchase, an “Affiliate Lender”); provided that (A) any Term Loan acquired through a Permitted Loan Purchase shall be subject to provisions of Section 2.18(f) and Section 9.21, (B) in connection with any Permitted Loan Purchase, the Public Company, any Group Member or any of their respective Affiliates effecting a purchase pursuant to this Section 9.04(i) and the applicable assigning Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Acceptance (and for the avoidance of doubt, (x) shall make the representations and warranties set forth in the Permitted Loan Purchase Assignment and Acceptance and (y) shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) and shall otherwise comply with the conditions to Assignments under this Section 9.04, (C) no Default or Event of Default would exist immediately before or after giving effect to such Permitted Loan Purchase and (D) for the avoidance of doubt, no Revolving Facility Commitments, Revolving Facility Loans or L/C Exposure shall be assigned to any Affiliate Lender. 
(i)    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment 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 subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the applicable 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 or any 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 Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage; provided that, 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 paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Section 9.05    Expenses; Indemnity.  (%3)  The Borrowers agree to pay  
(i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and, if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction, and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Senior Creditors, taken as a whole and a single counsel for the Affiliate Lenders, taken as a whole,, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Senior Creditors, taken as a whole and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Affiliate Lenders, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such person affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm for such affected person (and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for such affected person)).
(a)    The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their Related Parties (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees that are Senior Creditors, taken as a whole, and one counsel for all such Indemnitees that are Affiliate Lenders, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees that are Senior Creditors, taken as a whole and a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees that are Affiliate Lenders, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm for such affected Indemnitee (and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates whether based on contract, tort or any other theory; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (y) arose from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment) or (z) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against the Administrative Agent or a Joint Lead Arranger in its capacity as such).  None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to the Borrowers or any Subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions.  The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender.  All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 15 days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.
(b)    Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from a non-Tax claim), which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17 and, to the extent set forth therein, Section 2.15.
(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(d)    The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent  or any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.06    Right of Set-off.  Subject to the Subordination Terms, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the any Loan Party or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 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 Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Loan Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.
Section 9.07    Applicable Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW.
Section 9.08    Waivers; Amendment.  (%3)  No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(a)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.21, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders, and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:
(iv)    decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest (except as provided in the definition of “Applicable Margin”) on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the latest Maturity Date in effect for the Revolving Facility Commitments of the applicable Class (except as provided in Section 2.05(c)), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),
(v)    increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender, or decrease the Commitment Fees (except as provided in the definition of “Applicable Commitment Fee”), L/C Participation Fees or any other Fees of any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender,
(vi)    extend or waive any Other Term Loan Installment Date or reduce the amount due on any Other Term Loan Installment Date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),
(vii)    amend the provisions of Section 7.02 in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification), except as provided in Sections 9.08(d) and (e),
(viii)    amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date), except as provided in Sections 9.08(d) and (e),
(ix)    release any Borrower or all or substantially all of the Loan Parties from their respective Guaranties under this Agreement unless, in the case of any Loan Party (other than the Term Facility Borrower or any Revolving Facility Borrower with any Obligations outstanding), such entity ceases to constitute a Loan Party as a result of a transaction not prohibited hereunder on the date hereof, without the prior written consent of each Lender;
(x)    effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another Facility, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed), except as provided in Section 9.08(e); 
(xi)    waive, amend, supplement or modify any of the provisions of Section 2.18(f), Section 9.21 or any of the definitions of “Senior Creditors”, “Senior Obligations”, “Affiliate Lenders” or “Subordinated Obligations” without , in each case, the written consent of all Senior Creditors;
(xii)    amend or modify the definition of “Revolving Facility Percentage” without the written consent of all Revolving Facility Lenders; or
(xiii)    amend or modify any condition in Section 4.01 without the written consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility; 
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable.  Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender.
(b)    Without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral (including any Letter of Credit Support (provided, however, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit Support relating to any Continuing Letter of Credit, consent of the applicable Issuing Bank shall be required)) or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Lender Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Lender Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit facilities in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any Collateral (including any Letter of Credit Support) that is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of Letter of Credit Support relating to any Continuing Letter of Credit) to support certain Obligations in accordance of the terms hereof shall be held solely for the benefit of the Lender Parties to whom such Obligations are owed and shall not be shared with any other Lender Parties at any time that such Obligations remain outstanding.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Term Facility Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary (A) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or (B) to integrate any Incremental Commitments in a manner consistent with Section 2.21, including, with respect to Other Revolving Loans or Other Term Loans (and Commitments with respect thereto), as may be necessary to establish such Other Revolving Loans or Other Term Loans (and Commitments with respect thereto) as a separate Class or tranche from the existing Loans or Commitments.
(e)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be necessary to ensure that all Term Loans established pursuant to Section 2.21 after the Closing Date that will be included in an existing Class of Term Loans outstanding on such date (an “Applicable Date”), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class (the “Existing Class Loans”), on a pro rata basis, and/or to ensure that, immediately after giving effect to such new Term Loans (the “New Class Loans” and, together with the Existing Class Loans, the “Class Loans”), each Lender holding Class Loans will be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Class Loan on the Applicable Date (but without changing the amount of any such Lender’s Term Loans), and each such Lender shall be deemed to have effectuated such assignments as shall be required to ensure the foregoing.  The “Pro Rata Share” of any Lender on the Applicable Date is the ratio of (1) the sum of such Lender’s Existing Class Loans immediately prior to the Applicable Date plus the amount of New Class Loans made by such Lender on the Applicable Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Class Loans on the Applicable Date. 
(g)    With respect to the incurrence of any secured or unsecured Indebtedness, any Borrower may elect (in its discretion, but shall not be obligated) to deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Borrower or (in the case of any Borrower that is a limited partnership) of its general partner, as applicable, at least three Business Days prior to the incurrence thereof (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), together with either drafts of the material documentation relating to such Indebtedness or a description of such Indebtedness (including a description of the Liens intended to secure the same or the subordination provisions thereof, as applicable) in reasonably sufficient detail to be able to make the determinations referred to in this paragraph, which certificate shall state that such Borrower or (in the case of any Borrower that is a limited partnership) its general partner, as applicable, has determined in good faith that such Indebtedness satisfies the requirements of the applicable provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (taking into account any other applicable provisions of this Section 9.08), in which case such certificate shall be conclusive evidence thereof.
Section 9.09    Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.
Section 9.10    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.  Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 9.11    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
Section 9.12    Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 9.13    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
Section 9.14    Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 9.15    Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (%3) Each of the Loan Parties 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, any Lender, or any Affiliate 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 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 Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.  
(a)    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(b)    Other than as provided in this Section 9.15(c), each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Each Loan Party that is incorporated or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia hereby irrevocably appoints the Term Facility Borrower, as its agent to receive on its behalf, service of process that may be served in any action, litigation or proceeding referred to in clause (a) of this Section 9.15.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 9.16    Confidentiality.  Each of the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Public Company, any Parent Entity, any Loan Party and any Subsidiary furnished to it by or on behalf of such person (other than information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to the Public Company, any Parent Entity, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know and any numbering, administration or settlement service providers or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender or Letters of Credit on behalf of such Issuing Bank (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except:  (A) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (B) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or self-regulatory authorities, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (C) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (D) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (E) to any pledgee under Section 9.04(e) or any other prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16) and (F) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Hedging Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16).
Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers  pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and its affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities.  Accordingly, each Lender represents to each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and Arrangers that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
Section 9.17    Platform; Borrower Materials.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information (or, in the case of a company that is not a public-reporting company, material information of a type that would not be reasonably expected to be publicly available if such company were a public-reporting company) with respect to the Public Company, the Loan Parties or the Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, each Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as solely containing information that is either (A) of a type that would reasonably be expected to be publicly available if the Public Company or the Loan Parties were a public-reporting company or (B) not material (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Public Company, the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that such Borrower Materials shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16, to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute information subject to the terms thereof), (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”.
Section 9.18    Release of Liens and Guaranties.
(a)     The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (including any cash collateral providing Cash Collateralization hereunder and any Letter of Credit Support (excluding any Letter of Credit Support relating to any Continuing Letter of Credit)) shall be automatically released in full upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (but subject to the provisions of Section 9.18(d) below).
(b)    The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from the Guaranties upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Loan Party (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry).
(c)    The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or Issuing Bank.  Following any such release, any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made.  In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Term Facility Borrower and at such Borrower’s expense in connection with such release; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Term Facility Borrower or its general partner containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, on the Termination Date, upon request of the Term Facility Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender Party) take such actions as shall be required to release all obligations and Liens on any Collateral (including any cash collateral providing Cash Collateralization hereunder and any Letter of Credit Support under any Loan Document), whether or not on the date of such release there may be any contingent indemnification obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Letters of Credit (including any Continuing Letter of Credit) remain outstanding, any Letter of Credit Support being held by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to support any Obligations relating thereto shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Term Facility Borrower or its general partner containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.  Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.  The Term Facility Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (and its representatives) in connection with taking such actions as contemplated by this Section 9.18(d). 
Section 9.19    Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of any Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from a Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Loan Party (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
Section 9.20    USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notify each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
Section 9.21    Affiliate Lenders.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to (i) any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) any consent or request by any Lenders as contemplated by Article VII or any directions by any Lenders as contemplated by Section 8.05 or (iii) any instruction or authorization given to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, to the extent that an Affiliate Lender, or the Affiliate Lenders as a group, are (subject to Section 2.18(f)) treated therein in the same, or a better, manner than the other Lenders), any Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to agree, consent, approve or join such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification, such consent, request or directions or such instruction or authorization if it has otherwise been agreed or consented to, or joined in, by the Required Lenders, calculated for this purpose on a basis that disregards (for certainty of clarity, in both the numerator and the denominator) the Loans held by any Affiliate Lender from time to time and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, each Affiliate Lender shall take such actions at its sole cost and expense as are reasonable in the circumstances to confirm, evidence or implement its agreements in this clause (a).
(b)    The Lenders (other than Affiliate Lenders) may hold discussions, which may include the Administrative Agent and advisers to the foregoing, with respect to matters of concern to them relating to any of the Group Members or their Affiliates or this Agreement or any other Loan Document without inviting or permitting participation therein by Affiliate Lenders or sharing with Affiliate Lenders any notice or report thereof or any materials prepared to facilitate or further such discussions or otherwise requested in connection therewith.
(c)    No Affiliate Lender shall have any right to make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger or such other Lender or affiliate thereof under the Loan Documents.
(d)    Any agreement, consent or waiver of any Affiliate Lender deemed received pursuant to Section 9.21(a) shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent simultaneously with its receipt of the agreement, consent or waiver of the Required Lenders (in each case as calculated as provided in Section 9.21(a)), for purposes of determining the entitlement of any Affiliate Lender to any consent or similar fee or any other consideration to Lenders (or any appropriate grouping thereof) agreeing or consenting to such waiver, amendment or modification.
Section 9.22    Agency of the Term Facility Borrower for the Loan Parties. Each of the other Loan Parties hereby appoints the Term Facility Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.
Section 9.23    No Liability of the Issuing Banks.  Each Revolving Facility Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.  Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that each Revolving Facility Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to such Revolving Facility Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such Revolving Facility Borrower that such Revolving Facility Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
ARTICLE X     
 
Guaranty
Section 10.01    Guaranty of Payment.  Subject to Section 10.07, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably and jointly and severally guarantees (other than with respect to its own Loan Obligations) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, the prompt payment of the Loan Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise).  Any payment hereunder shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Loan Obligation is payable.  This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Loan Obligations whenever arising.
Obligations Unconditional
Section 10.02    Modifications.  Each Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that (a) all or any part of any security which hereafter may be held for the Loan Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Loan Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Loan Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Borrower and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of any Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Loan Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Loan Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release. 
Section 10.03    Waiver of Rights.  Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and of all Loans made to the Borrowers by the Lenders and Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Banks; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Loan Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Loan Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lenders obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Loan Obligations, or the Administrative Agent’s, Lenders’ or Issuing Banks’ subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if any; (e) all other notices to which any Borrower might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Section 10.04; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty.
Section 10.04    Reinstatement.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 10.05 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any person in respect of the Loan Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Loan Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Lenders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 10.05    Remedies.  Each Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks, on the other hand, the Loan Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VII) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Loan Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Loan Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Loan Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor.
Section 10.06    Limitation of Guaranty.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document, the partners of the Loan Parties shall not be personally liable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

NON-U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS: 
I. Corporations:
If your institution is incorporated outside of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and is the beneficial owner of the interest and other income it receives, you must complete one of the following three tax forms, as applicable to your institution: a.) Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), b.) Form W-8ECI (Income Effectively Connected to a U.S. Trade or Business), or c.) Form W-8EXP (Certificate of Foreign Government or Governmental Agency). 
A U.S. taxpayer identification number is required for any institution submitting Form W-8ECI.  It is also required on Form W-8BEN for certain institutions claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with the U.S.  Please refer to the instructions when completing the form applicable to your institution.  In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms.  An original tax form must be submitted. 
 II. Flow-Through Entities: 
If your institution is organized outside the U.S., and is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as either a Partnership, Trust, Qualified or Non-Qualified Intermediary, or other non-U.S. flow-through entity, an original Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding) must be completed by the intermediary together with a withholding statement.  Flow-through entities other than Qualified Intermediaries are required to include tax forms for each of the underlying beneficial owners. 
Please refer to the instructions when completing this form.  In addition, please be advised that U.S. tax regulations do not permit the acceptance of faxed forms.  Original tax form(s) must be submitted.

U.S. LENDER INSTITUTIONS:
If your institution is incorporated or organized within the United States, you must complete and return Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification).  Please be advised that we request that you submit an original Form W-9.

Pursuant to the language contained in the tax section of the Credit Agreement, the applicable tax form for your institution must be completed and returned prior to the first payment of income.  Failure to provide the proper tax form when requested may subject your institution to U.S. tax withholding.

Accordingly, the New Guarantor agrees as follows:

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 8.  The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel to the Administrative Agent.

	Price:
	Prices listed on Exhibit B are effective  (***). Prices are delivered including standard inks with up to 6-color graphics.  A pricing table for all sizes of Goods, including Delivery Locations and Prices is set forth on Exhibit B.
There shall be an additional charge for color tabs of (***) per thousand units (MEA). The minimum order quantity for color tabs is (***) units. There shall be an additional charge for white basecoat of (***)/MEA.

Throughout the Term of this Agreement, Prices shall be adjusted based on the Price Adjustment formula set forth below which shall include the (***) metal conversion factors as outlined in the following chart:

	 
	

	 
	The invoice Price for Goods shall be adjusted only to reflect changes (increases or decreases) in: (1) aluminum ingot costs affecting the pro-forma price calculation; and (2) conversion costs with a baseline price as set forth in Exhibit B.  

Aluminum  ingot costs to set up Pro-forma pricing: 

The ingot component of the price adjustment factor is based on (***)
(***) pricing plus a  (***) published settlement prices are used for the purposes of determining the aluminum ingot component of can and end prices and the (***) will be used as the reference for  (***). 

Monthly aluminum prices (actual monthly price) will be based on the market price for aluminum ingot. The market price is defined as the (***) for (***) on the (***) for the  (***) of purchase.   To calculate the actual  (***) price for  (***), the  (***) prices for each business day in a  (***) will be added to the  (***) of the  
(***) for each business day in the month as reported by  (***).
 

	 
	 

2 of 28

	Price (continued) :
	The can/end pro-forma Price shall be adjusted the first day of each calendar quarter (January, April, July, and October), based on the (***)  and 
(***) price  (***) for the middle-month (***) as set forth in the table below (“(***)”). Supplier shall communicate the  (***) to Purchaser on the  (***) day of the  (***) is effective. 

	 
	

	 
	Aluminum Ingot Price change mechanism:  
For every  (***) per pound increase/decrease of  (***) cost, the Price shall change by  (***) difference between the middle-month of  (***) and the middle-month of the (***).

Example of invoice Price adjustment for Aluminum Ingot Cost:

Assuming  (***) 12oz can ex-works price is  (***)MEA at  (***) of  (***)/lb.  If  (***) middle-month average price is  (***)/lb., the difference would be  (***)/lb., then  (***) (can (***) reference weight  (***)/MEA) =  (***)/MEA.   Then the aluminum portion of the can cost for the period of  (***) would  (***) by  (***)/MEA or be  (***)/MEA.  ((***)/MEA- (***)/MEA) 

Monthly Reconciliation of Aluminum Ingot Cost:

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

	
		
	 
	 

	 
	For example: 
Assuming (***) pro-forma pricing for 12oz cans at (***)/MEA ((***)) and an  (***)/lb.  If  (***) daily average price is  (***)/lb., the difference would be 
(***)lb., then  (***) (can (***) weight  (***)/MEA)
 =  (***)/MEA. If April total purchased volume is (***) units, then (***) units x  (***)/MEA =  (***); which means Supplier will pay Purchaser a reconciliation amount equal to  (***) for the month of  (***). 

Conversion Costs (including ingot  can/end  conversion): 

The conversion cost shall remain firm from  (***). 
Beginning  (***) and for the remainder of the Term of the Agreement,
the  conversion cost as stated in Exhibit B may be adjusted  (***) on 
(***) of each year. The conversion Prices for each (***) will be the basis for Price adjustments for the next (***). 

The adjustment will reflect  (***) of the  (***). 
The first such adjustment shall 
be on  (***) based on the  (***) average, (***) change 
in the  (***), compared to  (***) and subsequent 
adjustments shall be made each  (***) thereafter based on the same 
(***) average comparisons. 

Example:
Assuming  (***) for  (***) =  (***) and  (***) for (***) =  (***)
                 
Increase in the  (***) = ((***))/(***) =  (***)                 
If the  (***) conversion cost for 12oz can is  (***)/MEA, (***) x  (***) x  (***)=(***), then the conversion cost increase for  (***) would be  (***)/MEA.

Except for the Price adjustments set forth above, there will be no other Price adjustments to the ex-works Price.

	Freight: FSC – Fuel Surcharge
	Supplier’s freight by can size as stated in Exhibit B can be adjusted  (***) to reflect changes in fuel surcharge (FSC) only as set forth below.  The baseline for the FSC adjustment is  (***) as shown in Exhibit B. 

FSC adjustment mechanism: 
Fuel prices and surcharges will be reviewed  (***) and calculated based on 
the  (***)as published on the  (***). The FSC that Supplier charges Purchaser will be based on the table set forth in Exhibit D. 

	 
	 

4 of 28
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

	
		
	 
	 

	Freight: FSC – Fuel Surcharge
	The agreed base fuel surcharge is  (***).  The surcharge rate per mile is multiplied by the (***) from the (***) point to the  (***) and divided by the cans/ends quantity shipped to each  (***).  Agreed mileage is set forth in Exhibit D.  The FSC rate will change once there has been a cumulative change of  (***) FSC per  (***) using the base  (***) per mile.  The FSC rate will only be adjusted when the rate is at  (***) and any  (***) increment below  (***) or above  (***). 

Quarterly fuel surcharge adjustment schedule is as follows: 

	 
	

	 
	For example (12oz Cans) as set for in Exhibit D:

For 12oz cans, the baseline of  (***) per mile as stated in Exhibit D equates to  (***) cans. If the FSC average of  (***) is  (***) and the weighted average miles for all 12 oz cans from  (***) locations to  (***) Locations is  (***) miles as stated in Exhibit D, then the total FSC cost is  (***).  In order to calculate the FSC cost per  (***), the total 
FSC cost is divided by the weighted average number of units per (***) for the 12 oz cans (***). Then the freight rate as set forth in Exhibit B should be adjusted by  (***) per thousand  (***) for  (***), through  (***). 

Customer Pick-Up (CPU): 
Purchaser reserves the right to provide and pay for freight between the Supplier facilities (plants or warehouses) and Purchaser Delivery Locations.  If Purchaser elects to provide and pay for freight between the Supplier facilities and Purchaser Delivery Locations, then all Prices are ex-works Supplier facilities and Supplier will provide CPU rates as set forth on Exhibit E which are equal to its cost to deliver the Goods by commercial carrier. The CPU rate will be adjusted quarterly based on FSC change in accordance with the table in Exhibit D. The current CPU rate and Supplier’s primary and secondary supplying plants are set forth in Exhibit E.

All invoices will be issued at Delivered pricing, if there are Purchaser plant locations that pick up Goods at Supplier locations or Warehouses then Supplier will reconcile all customer pick ups and issue a credit by the10th business day of the next month.

Others:
Beginning  (***), the previous year’s delivered freight and CPU freight rates will be reviewed  (***) and adjusted on  (***) of each  (***).  For example on the delivered freight in  (***) if the rate went up  (***) then the adjustment would be on the then current rate of  (***) weighted freight costs on 12 oz can in  (***).  In  (***), the base rate that would adjust up or down would be  (***).  

If Purchaser wishes to change or add to the Delivery Locations, the parties shall negotiate and agree on applicable freight costs and fuel surcharges applicable to any revised or added Delivery Location. 

Supplier reserves the right to recalculate the freight component of the Goods Price if Purchaser relocates the Delivery Locations for substantial quantities of Goods or establishes new delivery locations.

Exhibit A: 
TERMS OF BUSINESS
(GOODS)

INTRODUCTION.

In addition to these Terms of Business, we may evidence additional aspects of our relationship with you in the form of a Schedule of Terms, exhibits, attachments or similar documents executed by both parties.  For ease of reference, such documents shall be referred to as “Schedules” and shall be expressly incorporated into these Terms of Business and shall be construed with and as an integral part of the Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.  These Terms of Business and any Schedules thereto set forth the agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Purchaser and you regarding the provision of the applicable Goods under each such Schedule.  Each such Schedule shall specify the applicable Purchaser, Supplier, Term, Specifications, Prices, Fees, Expenses, Payment Terms and, if applicable, Pricing Adjustments, Deliverables, Specifications, Quantities, Delivery Locations and certain other terms and conditions regarding the Goods under such Schedule.  The obligations of the Purchasers shall be several and not joint.
    
These Terms of Business are signed in consideration of the mutual agreements herein and other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and with the understanding that the undersigned companies are bound by their terms.  

As used in these Terms of Business, “we”, “our”, “us” (and like terms) refers to Purchaser.  “You”, “yours” means you, the Supplier.   

PURCHASERS.  The applicable Purchasers are set forth in the Schedule (“Purchaser(s)”).  In addition to its own orders, a Purchaser may submit orders for Goods on behalf of co-packers and all terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply.   Each Purchaser’s obligations, liabilities and rights are its own severally and not the joint obligations, liabilities or rights of any other Purchaser, Purchaser company or other party.

SUPPLIER.  The applicable Supplier is set forth in the Schedule.  

GOODS.  You agree to provide Purchaser with the Goods in compliance with the Specifications, in the Quantities and for the Prices specified under a Schedule or if not specified in a Schedule, then in accordance with the terms herein.  

TERM.  The term of each Schedule (the “Term”) will begin on the Effective Date and run through the End Date as specified for the Term of that Schedule, unless renewed or earlier terminated as provided hereunder.  So long as any Schedule remains in effect, this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to such Schedule.  

QUANTITIES.  Unless expressly specified in any Schedule, Purchaser will have no obligation to order, purchase or use any quantity of Goods, except for those quantities ordered in its written purchase order or in the applicable Schedule or, in the case of a blanket purchase order, releases issued thereunder and not the entirety of the blanket purchase order.

SUBCONTRACTORS.  You may not subcontract the manufacturing of Goods unless otherwise specified in the Agreement or with our prior written approval.  We specifically acknowledge that your wholly-owned subsidiaries may manufacture Goods or components thereof as part of your performance of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of whether subcontracting was specified or otherwise approved, including if we pay directly for such Goods, you remain fully responsible for the payment and performance of all of your subcontractors, suppliers and vendors.

PRICES FOR GOODS. The price(s) for Goods (the “Prices”) and any applicable pricing adjustments are set forth in the Schedule (the “Price”).   

PAYMENT TERMS.  Payment of invoices is due within the number of days after receipt specified in the Schedule.  Purchaser may take the percentage discount specified in the Schedule for invoices paid within the time specified.  You must invoice us promptly (***).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

TAXES.  If the Schedule specifies that the Prices are exclusive of taxes, we will pay those sales, use, excise or other similar taxes (excluding taxes based on your net income or business enterprise) assessed on the Prices paid hereunder.  Unless we provide you a valid exemption certificate, we will pay you those taxes you actually paid or are required to collect or pay.  Such taxes must be invoiced along with the Prices, and we will pay them, in accordance with the Payment Terms Section above.  

SPECIFICATIONS FOR GOODS.  All delivered Goods (and their packaging) must comply with any and all applicable Specifications or as we may have mutually agreed with you in the Schedule or otherwise in writing.  If no such Specifications exist for their containers, the containers must be recognized standard containers suitable for their transportation, handling and storage and sufficient to prevent any leakage, spillage or damage.  In addition, you may not modify the Goods in any way without notice to, and prior written approval from, us prior to shipment so that we may evaluate and consent to any modification of the Goods.  If we receive any modified Goods without our consent, we may return them at your expense, and you will reimburse us for all losses, damages and expenses we incur as a result of the modification.

BACKUP DOCUMENTATION. You will maintain, and upon our request, promptly provide complete and accurate backup documentation sufficient to substantiate all transactions with us and charges claimed on each invoice as well as any documentation relating to any claims made regarding the quality of the Goods.  We may discuss the documentation and charges with your personnel (***).  You will otherwise cooperate with all reasonable requests in connection with such review.  You shall promptly refund to us any overcharge resulting from such review.  This Section shall survive for 12 months after the later of the last transaction between us or the expiration or termination of any applicable agreement between us.

FORECASTS.  We may, from time to time, provide you with good faith forecasts/estimates and/or blanket purchase orders for our anticipated needs for Goods.  These may be for annual and/or monthly rolling periods.  These will create no obligation or liability for Purchaser.  They are provided solely so that you can plan your production, inventory and capacity in order to supply Purchaser in the normal course of your business and in accordance with the terms herein and any Schedules.

ORDERING.  We will notify you of any and all required quantities, delivery dates (“Delivery Dates”), delivery locations, shipping instructions and other terms for Goods via our written purchase order.  This purchase order will be binding upon you unless you specifically reject it in writing. Any pre-printed terms and conditions contained in forms used by either you or us to implement this Agreement, including any purchase order, acknowledgment, invoice or other correspondence will be disregarded.  

DELIVERY OF CONFORMING GOODS.  You agree to deliver all ordered Goods, undamaged, without substitution, and in compliance with any Purchase Order that has not been rejected, the Specifications, all warranties and other terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Schedule.  

Failure to Deliver Goods.  If you fail to deliver conforming Goods or if you deliver non-conforming Goods, Purchaser may do any or all of the following: cancel shipment, reject, return or hold them for you (for full credit and at your expense and risk), and/or require replacement (but only with our written authorization).   In addition, (***).

Removal of Insignia/Destruction of Goods.  For any rejected, returned or unpurchased Goods, you will remove any evidence of our name, trademarks or the like before selling or otherwise disposing of them, destroy any food or beverage product not fit for human consumption, and indemnify us against any claim, loss or damage arising out of your failure to do so.

INSPECTION/ACCEPTANCE.  We may inspect Goods prior to payment or acceptance to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any applicable Schedule and applicable criteria or Specifications.  Payment will not constitute acceptance thereof.  However, neither our inspection, approval or acceptance, nor lack thereof, nor anything else in this Agreement or any applicable Schedule , will relieve or limit any of your obligations and warranties under this Agreement or any applicable Schedule (including for testing, inspection, and quality control), whether or not a defect or nonconformity is apparent on examination.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

Representatives.  A party may disclose and allow access to Confidential Information to its Representatives in a secure manner, but only if the Representative needs to know that Confidential Information for the Permitted Use; and is advised of, and agrees in writing to be bound by, this Agreement’s terms.  The party will, however, remain responsible for any breach of this Agreement or unauthorized disclosure by its Representatives.
