Exhibit 4.0.0

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The following is a description of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of The Hertz Corporation is not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and, as a result, is not described in this exhibit. This description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1.1 and 3.2.1, respectively, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company and The Hertz Corporation.

Overview

As of December 31, 2020, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable in one or more series. Our common stock trades exclusively on the over-the-counter market under the symbol “HTZGQ.”

As of December 31, 2020, 158,235,410 shares of our commons stock were issued, 156,206,478 shares of our common stock were outstanding, and no shares of our preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Voting Rights. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. At any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, the election will be determined by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election, with directors not receiving a majority of the votes cast required to tender their resignations for consideration by the board, except that in the case of a contested election, the election will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election. For other matters, except as otherwise required by law or any other rule or regulation applicable to us, action shall be taken by a vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders on the subject matter in question represented in person or by proxy, assuming a quorum is present.  

Dividend Rights and Liquidation Rights. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive any dividends and other distributions that may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to receive proportionately any of our assets remaining after the payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is subject to our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to us, which is in turn subject to the restrictions set forth in the instruments governing our indebtedness.

Other Rights and Preferences. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to any series of preferred stock that we may issue, as described below.

Preferred Stock

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares of any class or series of preferred stock and to determine its voting powers, designations, preferences or other rights and restrictions. The issuance of 

preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock or impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.

Exclusive Forum

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or the amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case, shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware).

Special Stockholder Meetings

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings of the stockholders may be called by (i) the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors, (ii) the chairman of the board, (iii) the chief executive officer, or (iv) subject to certain procedures and conditions set forth therein, by the corporate secretary at the request of one or more stockholders who have held beneficial ownership of at least a thirty-five percent (35%) “net long position” of the outstanding common stock for at least thirty (30) days prior to the delivery of such request.

Rights Plan Limitations

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any rights plan adopted by our board of directors shall have a triggering “acquiring person” ownership threshold of 20% or higher. If our board of directors adopts a rights plan, such rights plan will be put to a vote of stockholders within 135 days of the date of adoption of such rights plan. If we fail to hold a stockholder vote on or prior to the 135th day deadline, then the rights plan shall automatically terminate on the 135th day deadline. If a stockholder vote is held on the rights plan and it is not approved by the holders of a majority of shares voted, then the rights plan shall expire on a date not later than the 135th day deadline.

Change of Control Related Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law

A number of provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws and under the DGCL may make it more difficult to acquire control of us. These provisions may have the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt not approved by our board of directors but which individual stockholders may deem to be in their best interests or in which stockholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares over then current market prices. As a result, stockholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. In addition, these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. These provisions are intended to:

• enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors;

• discourage some types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change in control of us;

• discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights;

• ensure that our board of directors will have sufficient time to act in what the board believes to be in the best interests of us and our stockholders; and

• encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to consult first with our board to negotiate the terms of any proposed business combination or offer.

Unissued Shares of Capital Stock

Common Stock

The remaining shares of our authorized and unissued common stock will be available for future issuance without additional stockholder approval, subject to the rules of the exchange in which the shares are listed. While the additional shares are not designated to deter or prevent a change of control, under some circumstances we could use the additional shares to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control by, for example, issuing those shares in private placements to purchasers who might side with our board of directors in opposing an unsolicited takeover bid.

Preferred Stock

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides our board of directors with the authority, without any further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares constituting any such series and the preferences, limitations and relative rights, including dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption price or prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series. The existence of authorized but unissued preferred stock could reduce our attractiveness as a target for an unsolicited takeover bid since we could, for example, issue shares of preferred stock to parties who might oppose such a takeover bid or shares that contain terms the potential acquiror may find unattractive. This may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium over the market price of the common stock, and may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, common stock.

Vacancies

Vacancies in our board of directors will only be able to be filled by our board of directors (even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director), except that a vacancy that results from the removal of a director by the stockholders may be filled by the stockholders at a special meeting of the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy will hold office until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director. Our amended and restated by-laws provides that the number of directors shall be fixed and increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the board of directors.

Advance Notice Requirements for Nomination of Directors and Presentation of New Business at Meetings of Stockholders; Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Our amended and restated by-laws require advance notice for stockholder proposals and nominations for director. To be timely, notice must be delivered to our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. However, if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, the notice must be delivered not earlier than 120 days prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on 

which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. If we call a special meeting for the purpose of electing one or more directors, stockholder nominations must be delivered to our principal executive offices (i) not less than 90 days prior to the date of such special meeting or 10 days after the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting and of the nominees proposed by us is first made or (ii) not more than 120 days prior to the date of such meeting. All nominations must contain the applicable information set forth in our amended and restated by-laws. 

In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws provide that action may not be taken by written consent of stockholders. Thus, any action taken by the stockholders will have to be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting.

These and other provisions will make it procedurally more difficult for a stockholder to place a proposal or nomination on the meeting agenda or to take action without a meeting, and therefore may reduce the likelihood that a stockholder will seek to take independent action to replace directors or seek a stockholder vote with respect to other matters that are not supported by management.

No Cumulative Voting

The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.a2020hgh10-kexhibit1028

Capitalized terms are used herein  as defined in Section 1.1.  The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:  WHEREAS, on May 22, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Borrower, certain  subsidiaries of the Borrower (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), Hertz Global Holdings, a Delaware  corporation (“HGH”) and Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability  company (“Holdings”, and together with the Borrower, HGH and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the  “Debtors”), filed voluntary proceedings (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of  the United States Code (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy  Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), and such Debtors continue to operate  their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to Sections 1107  and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code;  WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide to the Borrower  a multiple draw debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to  $1,650,000,000 (the “DIP Facility”), of which (i) up to $800,000,000 can be used for working  capital and general corporate purposes of the Debtors, as more fully described herein,(ii) up to  $1,000,000,000 can be used to provide equity directly or indirectly (including through capital  contributions to special purpose vehicles) for the acquisition and financing of vehicles in the U.S.  and Canada used in the operations of any Loan Party and (iii) an amount determined by the  Borrower can be used to pay debt service in respect of the DIP Facility and to pay fees, costs,  expenses, services and similar items related to the DIP Facility;  WHEREAS, the Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the DIP Obligations of the  Borrower hereunder;    WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Guarantors have agreed to secure the DIP  Obligations by granting to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Liens  described herein and in the DIP Order;     WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to provide the DIP Facility on the terms and  subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the DIP Order; and  WHEREAS, the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge that they each will  receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by reason of the making of loans to the Borrower as  provided in this Agreement.  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements  contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:  

 

    2  SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.     Defined Terms.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have  the following meanings:  “ABR”:  for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next  1/100 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds  Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for an Interest  Period of one month commencing on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the  immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%.  Any change in the ABR due to a change in the  Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective as of the  opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds  Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, respectively.  If the Administrative Agent shall have  determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to  ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate for any reason, including the  inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with  the terms of the definition thereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c)  above, as the case may be, of the first sentence hereof until the circumstances giving rise to such  inability no longer exist.  “ABR Loans”:  Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the  ABR.  “ABS Settlement”:  the Order Temporarily Resolving Certain Matters Related to  the Master Lease Agreement, Setting a Schedule for Further Litigation Related Thereto in 2021  and Adjourning Hearing on the Debtors’ Motion for Order Rejecting Certain Unexpired Vehicle  Leases Effective Nunc Pro Tunc to June 11, 2020 pursuant to Sections 105 and 365(a) of the  Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 390] Sine Die [D.I. 805], or any extension or replacement thereof,  in each case, subject to the conditions set forth in the definition of Casualty Superpriority Claims.   “Acceleration”:  as defined in Section 9(e).  “Accounts”:  as defined in the UCC; and, with respect to any Person, all such  Accounts of such Person, whether now existing or existing in the future, including (a) all accounts  receivable of such Person (whether or not specifically listed on schedules furnished to the  Administrative Agent), including all accounts created by or arising from all of such Person’s sales  of goods or rendition of services made under any of its trade names, or through any of its divisions,  (b) all unpaid rights of such Person (including rescission, replevin, reclamation and stopping in  transit) relating to the foregoing or arising therefrom, (c) all rights to any goods represented by any  of the foregoing, including returned or repossessed goods, (d) all reserves and credit balances held  by such Person with respect to any such accounts receivable of any Obligors, (e) all guarantees or  collateral for any of the foregoing and (f) all rights relating to any of the foregoing.    “Additional Incremental L/C Lender”:  as defined in Section 2.6(b).  

 

    3  “Adequate Protection Liens”: as defined in the Third Interim Adequate Protection  Order.  “Administrative Agent”:  as defined in the Preamble hereto and shall include any  successor to the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 10.9.  “Affected Financial Institution”:  (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK  Financial Institution.  “Affected Loans”:  as defined in Section 4.9.  “Affiliate”:  with respect to any specified Person, any other Person, directly or  indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such  specified Person.

Any references in this Agreement to “cash and/or Cash Equivalents”, “cash,  Cash Equivalents, Investment Grade Securities and/or Temporary Cash Investments” or any  similar combination of the foregoing shall be construed as not double counting cash or any other  applicable amount which would otherwise be duplicated therein.   Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, each party hereto acknowledges  that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan  Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured (all such liabilities, other than any Excluded  Liability, the “Covered Liabilities”), may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers and  agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:   the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers to any such  Covered Liability arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA  Financial Institution; and    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such Covered Liability, including,  if applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such Covered  Liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such Covered Liability into  shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its  parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise  conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be  accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such Covered Liability under  this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or  (iii) the variation of the terms of such Covered Liability in connection  with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers.  

 

    46  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Section  1.3 shall modify or otherwise alter the rights or obligations with respect to any liability that is not  a Covered Liability.  SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS.   Commitments and Borrowings.      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the DIP Order,  each Lender severally agrees to make during the Commitment Period term loans (each a “Loan”  and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower not to exceed its Commitment on the applicable  Borrowing Date (prior to giving effect to the Loans to be made on such Borrowing Date); provided  that, each such Borrowing (x) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and (y) shall be in an aggregate  principal amount that is not less than $250,000,000 or if less, equal to the remaining available  balance of the Commitments at such time.  Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.   The Loans, except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the  Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency  Loans.   Maturity Date The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative  Agent in Dollars for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of  such Lender on the Maturity Date.   Procedure for Borrowing.     The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment  Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent  notice thereof in the form attached as Exhibit D (which notice must be received by the  Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) (i) at least 16 days prior to the  requested Borrowing Date (or, in the case of the initial Borrowing, no later than 11:59 P.M. (New  York City time) on or before the later to occur of October 19, 2020 which notice may be  conditioned on the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the DIP Order and the occurrence of the  Closing Date) or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the date the DIP Order is entered by  the Bankruptcy Court), in each case (A) specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount to be  borrowed on the requested Borrowing Date, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be the  Business Day), (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a  combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurocurrency Loans,  the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest  Periods therefor, (B) (i) certifying that, after giving effect to the anticipated use of the borrowing,  the Borrower shall be in compliance with the respective provisions hereof relating to the use of  proceeds of the Loans, and (C) providing a summary reconciliation of the actual use of proceeds  of any previous Borrowing as compared to the anticipated use of proceeds of such Borrowings as  set forth in any such prior notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) so as to confirm  compliance with Section 5.9(b); provided that Eurocurrency Loans shall not be available until  three Business Days after the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent  and the Lenders.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a notice of borrowing, then the  

 

    47  applicable Loans shall be made as ABR Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of  Eurocurrency Loans in any such notice of borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will  be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Each Borrowing shall be in a  principal amount of at least $250,000,000 or if less, equal to the remaining available balance of  the Commitments at such time.   Upon receipt of such notice of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent  shall promptly notify each Lender thereof of its Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing.  Each  Lender will make available in Dollars the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the requested  Borrowing to be made on the applicable Borrowing Date, in each case for the account of the  Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 prior to 12:00 P.M.,  New York City time (or, if the time period for the Borrower’s delivery of notice was extended,  such later time as agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in its reasonable  discretion, but in no event less than one hour following notice) on the applicable Borrowing Date  in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall on  such date credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the  aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like  funds as received by the Administrative Agent.    An indicative, non-binding funding schedule is attached as Exhibit E.   Priority.  Subject in each case to the entry and the terms of the DIP Order  and the terms of the Loan Documents, the DIP Facility and the DIP Obligations shall, subject and  subordinate to the Carve-Out, at all times:   pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, be entitled to  superpriority administrative expense status (the “DIP Superpriority Claims”), with priority over  all other costs and expenses of the kinds specified in, or ordered pursuant to, Sections 105, 326,  328, 330, 331, 363, 364, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546, 726, 1113 and 1114 of the Bankruptcy  Code, other than the Casualty Superpriority Claims (which shall be treated in accordance with the  ABS Settlement);   pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding,  continuing, enforceable, fully perfected first priority security interest in and lien upon all DIP  Collateral, whether existing on the Petition Date or thereafter acquired, that, on or as of the Petition  Date was not subject to valid, enforceable, perfected and non-avoidable liens (or perfected after  the Petition Date to the extent permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code);   pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding,  continuing, enforceable, fully perfected junior priority security interest and lien on all prepetition  and postpetition property of the Loan Parties that was subject to a valid, enforceable, perfected and  unavoidable lien or security interest in favor of third parties (other than the Prepetition Secured  Parties) that was in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date (or which were valid and  enforceable on the Petition Date and perfected subsequent thereto as permitted by Section 546(b)  of the Bankruptcy Code) and which remain subject to such valid, enforceable, perfected, and non- avoidable lien or security interest as of the date of entry of the DIP Order, which DIP Liens shall  be: (A) junior only to any such lien or security interest referred to above in this clause (c)  

 

    48  (collectively, the “Senior Third-Party Liens”); and (B) senior to all other liens on, and security  interests in, the DIP Collateral; and   pursuant to Section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding,  continuing, enforceable, fully perfected first priority priming security interest and lien on all DIP  Collateral whether in existence on the Petition Date or thereafter created, acquired, or arising and  wherever located, subject only to the Carve-Out and Senior Third-Party Liens, if any.  The foregoing Liens shall be granted pursuant to Sections 364(c)(2), (c)(3) and (d)(1) of the  Bankruptcy Code (subject to any Permitted Liens) and the DIP Order shall provide that such Liens  shall be automatically perfected upon the entry of the DIP Order without the need for any further  action by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Loan Party, including the filing of any  financing statements or the recording of any mortgages. To the extent applicable, Liens securing  the DIP Obligations (i) on any Canadian SPV Issuer Equity shall be subject to the Canadian  Required Standstill Provisions, (ii) on any HVF SPV Issuer Equity shall be subject to the HVF  Required Standstill Provisions and (iii) on any HVF II SPV Issuer Equity shall be subject to the  HVF II Required Standstill Provisions. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby  acknowledge receipt of the Canadian Indenture and the Canadian Required Standstill Provisions  contained therein.   Record of Loans.     Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account  or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of  such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid  to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.   The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section  11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of  each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto,  (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the  Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the  Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each applicable Lender’s share thereof.   The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender  maintained pursuant to Section 2.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima  facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;  provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the  Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of  the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender  in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.   Incremental L/C Facilities.   So long as no Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, the  Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to request  new letter of credit facility commitments under one or more new letter of credit facilities to be  included in this Agreement or in separate credit documentation (any such facilities, “Incremental  

 

    49  L/C Facilities”); provided that, the aggregate principal amount of Incremental L/C Facilities   permitted pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not exceed, at the time the respective Incremental L/C  Facility becomes effective, $200,000,000.  Any Incremental L/C Facilities shall constitute DIP  Obligations.    Each request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall set forth  the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental L/C Facilities.  The  Incremental L/C Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender, an Affiliate of an existing  Lender or by any other bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution,  insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution (any such bank,  savings and loan association or other savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or  company or other financial institution, an “Additional Incremental L/C Lender,” and the  Additional Incremental L/C Lenders together with any existing Lender providing commitments  under an Incremental L/C Facility, the “Incremental L/C Lenders”) subject to, in the case of an  Additional Incremental L/C Lender that is not an existing Lender or an Affiliate of an existing  Lender, the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or  delayed). No Lender will be required to provide any such commitments under an Incremental L/C  Facility unless it so agrees.   Incremental L/C Facilities shall become commitments under this  Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement or  pursuant to separate credit documentation, in each case, executed by the Borrower and each  applicable Incremental L/C Lender.  An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any  other Lender, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,  in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this  Section 2.6.     (i) (A) No Incremental L/C Facility will be guaranteed by any U.S.  Subsidiary or Canadian Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, (B) no  Incremental L/C Facility may be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that  do not also secure the Loans, and (C) each Incremental L/C Facility shall be secured on a pari  passu basis with the Loans; (ii) the maturity date of any Incremental L/C Facility shall be no earlier  than the Maturity Date; (iii) the letter of credit fees applicable to any Incremental L/C Facility shall  be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental L/C Lenders; and (iv) each such  Incremental L/C Facility shall have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Postpetition  Letters of Credit issued under an Incremental L/C Facility shall only be issued to replace a  Prepetition Letter of Credit issued pursuant to either the RAC Credit Agreement or the Letter of  Credit Agreement and (ii) no such Postpetition Letter of Credit shall issued in a face amount greater  than 110% of the undrawn amount of the applicable replaced Prepetition Letter of Credit.  

 

    50  SECTION 3.  [Reserved]   SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS.   Interest Rates and Payment Dates.       Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest  Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such  day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.    Each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a  rate per annum equal to the ABR for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.   During the continuance of an Event of Default, if all or a portion of (i) the  principal amount of any Loan is overdue, (ii) any interest payable thereon is overdue or (iii) any  fee payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration  or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case  of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant  foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 plus 2.00%, (y) in the case of overdue interest, the rate  that would be otherwise applicable to principal of the related Loan pursuant to the relevant  foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 (other than clause (x) above) plus 2.00% and (z) in the  case of fees, the rate described in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.1 for ABR Loans plus 2.00%, in  each case, from the date of such non-payment that resulted in an Event of Default until such amount  is paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided that (1) no amount shall be payable  pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting  Lender and (2) no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) on any overdue amount or  other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.   Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be  payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on the Maturity  Date, or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided in Section 9.    Interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in  arrears on (i) each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and up to each such  Interest Payment Date; (ii) any prepayment of such Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the  extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) the maturity of the Loans, including on the  Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the full amount of the Loans are not repaid on the  Maturity Date, interest shall continue to accrue at the rate set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section  4.1.   It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable  usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which  constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved,  or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any other  document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under  any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.  

 

    51   Conversion and Continuation Options.     The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans  from Eurocurrency Loans made or outstanding to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent  at least one Business Day’s prior notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of  Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.   The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans made or outstanding from  ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business  Days’ prior notice of such election.  Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall  specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor.  Upon receipt of any  such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  All or any part  of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein;  provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into  a Eurocurrency Loan when any payment Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the  Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such conversions may be made and  (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of longer than one  month after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.   Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of  the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the  Administrative Agent of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such  Eurocurrency Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest  Period” set forth in Section 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i)  (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any payment Event of Default has occurred  and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such  continuations may be made or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and  provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in  this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such  Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then  expiring Interest Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this Section  4.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.   If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or  continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans.  Any such automatic  conversion to ABR  Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect  with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans.  If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or  continuation of Eurocurrency Loans in any notice required pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above, as  applicable, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest  Period of one month.   Minimum Amounts; Maximum Sets.  All borrowings, conversions and  continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such  amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate  principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Set shall be no less than $25,000,000  (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be converted or continued in its  entirety), and so that there shall not be more than 15 Sets at any one time outstanding (or such greater  number as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent).  

 

    52   Optional and Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.   Optional Prepayment of the Loans.  The Borrower may at any time and from  time to time prepay the Loans made to them in whole or in part, subject to Section 4.12, without  premium or penalty, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M.,  New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment in the case of  Eurocurrency Loans, or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of prepayment in the  case of ABR Loans.  For the avoidance of doubt, Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be  reborrowed.  Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, whether the prepayment  is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the  principal amount allocable to each.  Upon the receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent  shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  Any such notice may state that such notice is  conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the  effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower  (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such  condition is not satisfied.  If any such notice is given and is not revoked, the amount specified in  such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency  Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable  pursuant to Section 4.12 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial  prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of  $5,000,000; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loans may be prepaid in their  entirety.  Prepayments of the Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be applied on a pro rata  basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding at such time.     Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.  The Borrower shall  have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which  will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to  reduce the amount of the Commitments. Any termination of the Commitments shall terminate the  Commitment of each Lender.  Any partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount  equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be applied to  reduce the Commitment of each of the Lenders on a pro rata basis (i.e., based on a fraction  (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is the Commitment of the respective Lender  and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the Lenders).     Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.  (i) The Commitments shall  automatically and permanently be reduced on each Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the  Loans incurred on such Borrowing Date) by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of  the Loans incurred on such Borrowing Date and (ii) the Commitments shall be permanently  reduced as, and to the extent, set forth in the proviso to Section 7.8(b)(ii) (with each such reduction  pursuant to this clause (c)  to be applied to the Commitment of each Lender on a pro rata basis  (i.e., based on a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is the Commitment  of the respective Lender and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate amount of the  Commitments of all of the Lenders).    Termination of Commitments. The Commitments (and the Commitment of  each Lender) shall terminate in their entirety on the Maturity Date.    

 

    53   Fees.     The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent any fees in the  amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing pursuant to the Fee Letter by the Borrower  and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement.  The Borrower agrees to pay to  the Commitment Parties the Backstop Premium in the amount and on the date previously agreed  to in writing pursuant to the Commitment Letter (which Backstop Premium may be netted from  the proceeds of the initial Loans incurred hereunder).   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of  each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), a commitment fee for the period from and including  the first day of the Commitment Period to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Commitments  have been terminated and (ii) the Maturity Date, computed at a rate of 3.75% per annum multiplied  by the daily amount of such Lender’s Commitment (whether or not then available), which fee shall  be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and actual number of days elapsed. Accrued  commitment fees under this paragraph (b) shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business  Day of each calendar month, and on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as the Commitments  shall terminate as provided herein.   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable  account of the Lenders entitled thereto (other than Defaulting Lenders), an upfront payment (the  “Upfront Payment”) in cash in an amount equal to 1.50% (the “Upfront Payment Percentage”) of  the aggregate principal amount of the Loans funded hereunder in respect of each Borrowing, which  Upfront Payment shall be earned, due and payable on the Borrowing Date of such Borrowing (and  will be netted out of the proceeds of such Borrowing) and calculated by multiplying the Upfront  Payment Percentage by the aggregate principal amount of Loans funded by such Lender on such  Borrowing Date. If any Lender shall fail to fund its Applicable Percentage of the requested Loans  on any Borrowing Date upon satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, the Upfront  Payment with respect to such unfunded amount of such Loans shall be reallocated to any Lender  that funds such unfunded amount(s).   The Loan Parties shall treat the Loans as indebtedness for U.S. federal  income tax purposes and shall not take any inconsistent position on any tax return to the extent  permitted by applicable Law.  The Borrower shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with the  Lenders and the Lender Advisors with respect to all original issue discount computations involving  the DIP Facility, and upon the reasonable request of the Lenders or the Borrower, shall provide  any information reasonably requested by the Lenders with respect to such original issue discount  computations.   Computation of Interest and Fees.     Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on  the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on  the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case may  be) for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the  Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate.  Any change in the  interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve  

 

    54  Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such  change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the  Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.   Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant  to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the  Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the  Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable  detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant  to Section 4.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the Reuters LIBOR  Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate.   Inability to Determine Interest Rate.     If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall  have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that,  by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not  exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan for such  Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the  Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (a) any  Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as  ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest  Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan  Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as  applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace  LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark  Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the fifth Business  Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the  Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of  objection to such amendment from the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any  proposed amendment containing any SOFR Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object  only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with  respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that the Required Lenders  have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that the Required Lenders accept such  amendment. No replacement of LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this  Section 4.7 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.   In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the  Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes  from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan  Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes  will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.   The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the  Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as  

 

    55  applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date,  (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark  Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark  Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the  Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 4.7, including any determination with  respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event,  circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive  and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without  consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this  Section 4.7.   Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a  Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Loan  Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or  continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be  deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to  ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of ABR based upon  LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of ABR.   Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.     Each payment (including each prepayment, but excluding payments made  pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d), 4.14, 11.1(f) or 11.6) by the Borrower on  account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent  pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the  respective Lenders.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder,  whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or  counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof,  to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders , at the Administrative Agent’s office  specified in Section 11.2 and in Dollars in immediately available funds.  Payments received by the  Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business  Day.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such  payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as  received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall  distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment  hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day  other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding  Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the  then applicable rate during such extension.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due  and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended  to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon  shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such  extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such  payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any  Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its  

 

    56  share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may  assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the  Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in  respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the  Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay  to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum  equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent.  A  certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing  under this Section 4.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s  share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within  three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the  Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent  and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon  at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing hereunder on demand, from the Borrower and  (y) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against  such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured  basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in  fact make such borrowing available.   Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or  any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after  the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans  as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written  notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be  withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender  hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to  an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful  for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a  commitment only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested, (c) such Lender’s  Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans  on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Affected Loans  or within such earlier period as required by law and (d) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as  Affected Loans, if any, not converted to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 4.9(c) shall, upon notice to  the Borrower, be prepaid with accrued interest thereon on the last day of the then current Interest  Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by any such Requirement of  Law).  If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the  last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender  such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.12.   Requirements of Law.     If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the  interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with  any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other  Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date  on which such Lender becomes a Lender):  

 

    57  (i) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,  (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes  and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Commitments or other DIP  Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable to its  Loans or Commitments;  (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,  compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other  liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by,  or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not  otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or  (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax  of any kind whatsoever);  and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which  such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining  Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any  such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in  accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any  additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced  amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, provided that, in any such case, the  Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR  Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in  which case the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within thirty days of such Lender’s written  request therefor, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender  pursuant to this Section 4.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section  4.12.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section  4.10, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent,  certifying (x) that one of the events described in this Section 4.10(a) has occurred and describing  in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount  resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a  reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.  Such a certificate as to any additional  amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender, through the  Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This  Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all  other amounts payable hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section  4.10(a), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)  for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the  Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the  circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall  be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.     If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in  any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof  or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or  directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any  

 

    58  Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have  the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a  consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder, then from time to time, within thirty days  after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a  written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this Section 4.10(b) has  occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the  rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts  demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation  thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will  compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction.  Such a certificate as to any additional  amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender, through the  Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10(b), the Borrower shall not be  required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10(b) for any amounts incurred more  than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention  to claim compensation therefor.     Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the Borrower shall not be  required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph  (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is attributable, directly  or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy  requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar”  (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital  Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking  Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation, adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory)  thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other  law or regulation, or otherwise.  In addition, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount  with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above  unless such Lender delivers a certificate from a senior officer of such Lender certifying to the  Borrower that the request therefor is being made, and the method of calculation of the amount so  requested is being applied, consistently with such Lender’s treatment of a majority of its customers  in connection with similar transactions affected by the relevant adoption or change in a  Requirement of Law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, (x) the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or  directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or  directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking  Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States or foreign regulatory  authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption of or  change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.   Taxes.      Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law”  includes FATCA.   Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any  obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or  

 

    59  withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as  determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction  or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable  Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay  the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with  Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower  shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made  (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this  Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had  no such deduction or withholding been made.   Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to  the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the  Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.   Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each  Recipient, within 10 days after written request therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified  Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable  under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from  a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,  whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the  relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability  delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the  Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent  manifest error.   Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the  Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written request therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes  attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified  the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the  Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the  provisions of Section 11.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any  Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the  Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses  arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally  imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of  such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive  absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and  apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or  otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any  amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).   Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes  by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver  to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such  Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or  other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  

 

    60   Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or  reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall  deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested  by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed  documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit  such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition,  any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver  such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower  or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine  whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting  requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the  completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set  forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the  Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such  Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or  commercial position of such Lender.  (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the  Borrower is a U.S. Person,  (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower  and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender  becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter  upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),  executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt  from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;  (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled  to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such  number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date  on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and  from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or  the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:  (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the  benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States  is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any  Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or  IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or  reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the  “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to  any other applicable payments under any Loan Document,  IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing  an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding  Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”  article of such tax treaty;  

 

    61  (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;  (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the  benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section  881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form  of Exhibit A-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not  a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the  Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the  meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a  “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as  described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax  Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS  Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or  (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial  owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied  by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W  8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in  the form of Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, IRS Form W-9,  and/or other certification documents from each beneficial  owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is  a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of  such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest  exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax  Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit  A-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;  (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled  to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such  number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date  on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and  from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or  the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by  Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in  U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such  supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to  permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the  withholding or deduction required to be made; and  (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document  would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if  such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting  requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or  1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the  Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by  law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the  Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law  

 

    62  (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such  additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the  Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the  Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and  to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations  under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold  from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall  include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes  obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify  the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.     Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion  exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been  indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to  this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to  the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to  such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and  without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect  to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay  to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties,  interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such  indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified  party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the  payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than  the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to  such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification  payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph  shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any  other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any  other Person.  (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the  resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the  replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or  discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.   Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender in respect of  Eurocurrency Loans made, or requested to be made, to the Borrower, and to hold each such Lender  harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such  Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower  in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower  has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b)  default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the  

 

    63  Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the  making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency  Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such  indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest  which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted  or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to  borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a  failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date  of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans provided  for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount  of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on  such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the  interbank eurocurrency market.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the  indemnity contained in this Section 4.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower,  through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or  (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or  expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for  which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the  calculation thereof.  Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.12  submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in  the absence of manifest error.  This Section 4.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and  the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.   Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts.     Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrower, each Lender to which  the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11, and any  Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the  Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting,  the imposition of any  Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be  required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have  confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement  and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’  fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition  of such Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required  to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting,  the imposition of any Taxes, if such Lender, in its sole discretion in good faith, determines that to  do so would have a Material Adverse Effect on it.   If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than pursuant to  paragraph (c) below) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to  cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Section 4.10 or 4.11,  the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount, except to the extent that,  pursuant to Section 4.11, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable to such Lender  immediately before it changed its lending office.  

 

    64   If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage  of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by the  Borrower pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11 or result in Affected Loans or commitments to make  Affected Loans being automatically converted to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 4.9, such Lender  shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may  reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include  efforts to rebook the Loans and Commitments held by such Lender at another lending office, or  through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be  required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to  its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees  to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).   If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant  to Section 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to  avoid the need for payments under Section 4.10 or 4.11 or if Affected Loans or commitments to  make Affected Loans are automatically converted to ABR Loans under Section 4.9 and any  affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for such  conversion under Section 4.9, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation  remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders  reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected  Loan or Commitment, as the case may be, in whole or in part, at in the case of Loans and  Commitments an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s or Commitment’s principal amount plus  accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) upon notice to  the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to Section 4.12,  without premium or penalty and terminate the Commitment of the affected Lender.  In the case of  the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any  substitute Lender shall execute and deliver a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant  to Section 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the  substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Section 11.6(b) in connection with  such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender.  In the case of a  prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on  the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.   In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the  Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under Sections 4.10  and 4.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender,  including any amounts under this Section 4.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment.  In the  case of the substitution of a Lender, if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to  the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other  documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the  assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other  documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to such replaced  Lender relating to the Loans shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Lender being  replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such  Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower  shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or  such other documentation on behalf of such Lender.  

 

    65   If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly  attributable to taxes for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to Section  4.10(a) or 4.11(a), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly  pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing  authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower;  provided, however, that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any  interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Indemnified Taxes) to  the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice  that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

Any payment of the  Loans pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall be applied on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate  principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time.   Subject to the Loan Parties’ refinancing rights described in Section 7.8(b),  each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to, among other things,  applicable Law, contractual restrictions, restrictions in organizational documents, prohibitions and  third-party arrangements and adverse tax considerations) to (directly or indirectly) cause each of  its U.S. and Canadian special purpose vehicle financing Subsidiaries that is a Non-Loan Party  Subsidiary to dividend or otherwise distribute or transfer any Net Cash Proceeds actually received  by it with respect to a Mandatory Payment Event, if any, applicable to it, until such time as such  dividend or other distribution is made to a Loan Party, and such Loan Party shall use such “Net  Cash Proceeds” to make a mandatory payment as, and to the extent, required by the terms of this  Section 7.8.

    85  restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date  of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been  exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the  outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being  refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other  costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) incurred or payable in connection with  such refinancing.  The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other  Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be  calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such  respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(a) No Loan Party will consolidate  with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person,  except (v) in connection with a sale of assets or equity pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy  Code, or in connection with a Chapter 11 Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court, (w) in connection  with Investments permitted under Section 8.5, (x) a Loan Party may merge or consolidate into  another Loan Party; provided that if the Borrower is party to such merger or consolidation, the  Borrower will be the surviving entity, (y) a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party may merge or  consolidate into a Loan Party, so long as a Loan Party will be the surviving entity and (z) a Loan  Party (other than the Borrower) may merge or consolidate into a Subsidiary in connection with an  Investment permitted under clause (ii) of the definition of Permitted Investments.  For the avoidance  of doubt, the Borrower may, directly or indirectly, create a newly formed Subsidiary for bona fide  tax (or similar) planning activities and may merge or consolidate any such Subsidiary into the  Borrower (so long as the Borrower is the surviving entity) or into another Loan Party, so long as a  Loan Party will be the surviving entity.   Section 8.3(a) will not apply to any transaction in which a Loan Party  consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to  (x) an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such  Loan Party in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity;  provided, that no such reincorporation or reorganization shall adversely impact the Lenders or (y)  a Loan Party so long as all assets of the Loan Party immediately prior to such transaction (other  than Capital Stock) are owned by a Loan Party immediately after the consummation thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, nothing  herein shall restrict the Loan Parties from rejecting (i) operating, tax or finance leases, (ii)  maintenance or services agreements or purchase arrangements, or (iii) leases of real property or  any other executory contracts.   Upon any sale or other disposition of the DIP Collateral permitted by this  Agreement (other than any sale or other disposition to another Loan Party), the Lien pursuant to  this Agreement (and any other applicable Loan Document) and the DIP Order on such DIP  Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that the DIP Obligations shall continue to be  secured by the proceeds of such sold or disposed DIP Collateral with the same priority provided  hereunder on such DIP Collateral immediately prior to such sale or other disposition. Subject to  

 

    90  Sections 10.1 and 10.4, upon (i) any such permitted sale or other disposition of the DIP Collateral  and/or (ii) the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of any Loan Party (other than to any  other Loan Party) permitted under this Agreement such that it is no longer a Subsidiary of the  Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt from the Borrower of a written request of  the release of such Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement or the release  of the DIP Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, identifying such Loan Party or the  relevant DIP Collateral, together with a written certification by the Borrower stating that such  transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, deliver to the  Borrower or the other relevant Loan Party any DIP Collateral of such relevant Loan Party held by  the Administrative Agent, or the DIP Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition and, at the  cost and expense of such Loan Party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such Loan Party such  releases, instruments or other documents (including UCC termination statements), and do or cause  to be done all other acts, as the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall reasonably request (x) to  evidence or effect the release of such Loan Party from its Guarantee (if any) and of the Liens  created hereby and the DIP Order (if any) on such Loan Party’s DIP Collateral or (y) to evidence  the release of the DIP Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition.

The provisions of Section 8.5(a) will not prohibit any of the following (each,  a “Permitted Payment”):  (i) any purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other  acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations made by exchange (including  any such exchange pursuant to the exercise of a conversion right or privilege in  connection with which cash is paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares) for,  

 

    91  or out of the proceeds of the issuance or sale of, Capital Stock of the Borrower or  any Parent Entity (other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary) or a  capital contribution to the Borrower;  (ii) any purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other  acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations or Prepetition Indebtedness  made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the Incurrence of, Indebtedness of  the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in  compliance with Section 8.1, but only if the Borrower shall have made prior to or  concurrently therewith payment in full of all of the Loans;   (iii) Non-Loan Party Transactions (i) in the ordinary course of business  and consistent with customary practices, in accordance with the Cash Management  Order and the Third Interim Adequate Protection Order, (ii) in the form of  Investments in Subsidiaries, the Capital Stock of which has been pledged as DIP  Collateral, for the purpose of purchasing Vehicles in the U.S. and Canada used in  the operations of any Loan Party or (iii) or as otherwise provided herein (“Permitted  Non-Loan Party Transactions”), provided, that, (A) the aggregate amount of the  European Funding Transactions, after giving effect to any return on capital received  by any Loan Party, such European Funding Transactions at any time outstanding  shall not exceed the European Transaction Cap and (B) other than in respect of  clause (ii) above, the applicable Loan Party shall take all commercially reasonable  actions to secure repayment of the obligations under such Non-Loan Party  Transaction as may be permitted under applicable Law (and not in violation of, or  pursuant to any exception in, any existing contractual arrangements, including any  indenture pursuant to which the HHN Notes were issued), including, without  limitation, by virtue of a direct or indirect stock pledge, a purchase money security  interest or other security interest, or a Non-Loan Party Transaction recipient’s third- party financing, unless the Borrower determines in the exercise of its reasonable  business judgment that (a) the cost of taking the foregoing actions is excessive in  relation to the practical benefits to be obtained by the Debtors’ estates therefrom or  (b) taking the foregoing actions is not in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates  (taken individually or as a whole); or  (iv) loans, advances, dividends or distributions to any Parent or other  payments by a Loan Party to pay or permit any Parent to pay any Parent Expenses  or any Related Taxes.   The Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify any Investment or other  Restricted Payment as being made in part under one of the provisions of this Section 8.5 (or, in the  case of any Investment, the clauses of Permitted Investments) and in part under one or more other  such provisions.   Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.  (a) The Loan Parties will not  enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale,  lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Borrower  that is not a Loan Party (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of

It is understood that a limitation on the amount of Indebtedness or other obligations or liabilities  that may be incurred, outstanding, guaranteed or secured under this Agreement or any other Loan  Document (in excess of the amount thereof that may be incurred, outstanding, guaranteed and  secured under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as in effect on the Closing Date) does  not constitute a limitation that is restricted by this Section 8.7.   Minimum Liquidity.  Commencing with the last day of the first full calendar  month ending after the Closing Date, and on the last day of each calendar month thereafter, the Loan  Parties shall not permit Liquidity to be less than $275,000,000.   Use of Proceeds.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any  of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower shall not use proceeds of any Loans to:    (i) make any direct or indirect transfers to Non-Loan Parties, other than  as  permitted by the Cash Management Order, the Third Interim Adequate  Protection Order or as otherwise provided herein and, with respect to European  Funding Transactions, subject to the European Transaction Cap;  (ii) collateralize any unsecured obligation of, or guaranteed by, any  Loan Party that was unsecured as of the Petition Date;   (iii) repay or prepay any Prepetition Indebtedness; or  (iv) make any Restricted Payments other than as permitted by Section  8.5(b)(iii) or 8.5(b)(iv).

No Loan Party shall bring, or file any  pleading in support of, a lawsuit or other challenge to the claims or liens of the Prepetition Secured  Parties, except to the extent (a) such lawsuit or challenge is necessary or appropriate for the Loan  Parties to confirm a Chapter 11 Plan that is not supported by the requisite Prepetition First Lien  Secured Parties under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that the Loan Parties shall  not be obligated to object to, or otherwise contest or oppose, any other party seeking to bring any  such lawsuit or challenge or (b) the claims of the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties have been  unconditionally repaid in full pursuant to a court order that is acceptable to the Prepetition First Lien  Secured Parties.

If any of the following events shall occur  and be continuing:   (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due in  accordance with the terms hereof (whether at the Maturity Date, by mandatory payment or  otherwise); or the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or any other amount  payable hereunder, within three Business Days after any such interest or other amount  becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or  (b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Loan Party  herein or in any other Loan Document (or in any amendment, modification or supplement  hereto or thereto) or which is contained in any certificate furnished at any time by or on  behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any such other Loan Document shall  prove to have been incorrect in any material respect on or as of the date made or deemed  made (or, to the extent qualified by materiality, shall be incorrect in any respect when made  or deemed made) and the circumstances giving rise to such misrepresentation, if capable of  alteration, are not altered so as to make such representation or warranty correct in all  material respects (or, to the extent qualified by materiality, correct in all respects) by the  date falling 10 Business Days after the date on which written notice thereof shall have been  given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders;   (c) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any  agreement contained in Section 7.9 or Section 8 of this Agreement; or   (d) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any other  agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as  provided in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 9), and such default shall continue  unremedied for (i) in the case of a default of any agreement contained in clauses (e) through  (l) of Section 7.1, a period of five consecutive Business Days and (ii) in the case of any  other agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, a period of 10  consecutive Business Days after the date on which written notice thereof shall have been  given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; or  (e) Holdings, the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties shall: (i) default in  any payment of principal of or interest on any Indebtedness (excluding any Pre-Petition  Indebtedness and the Loans and any other Indebtedness under this Agreement) in excess of  $100,000,000 beyond the period of grace (not to exceed 30 days), if any, provided in the  

 

    97  instrument or agreement under which such Indebtedness was created; or (ii) default in the  observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such  Indebtedness referred to in clause (i) above (excluding any Prepetition Indebtedness, the  Loans and any other Indebtedness under this Agreement) contained in any instrument or  agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto (other than the failure to provide notice  of a default or an event of default under such instrument or agreement or default in the  observance of or compliance with any financial maintenance covenant), the effect of which  default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or  agent on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause, with the giving of notice or lapse of time  if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity (an “Acceleration”),  and (x) such time shall have lapsed and, if any notice (a “Default Notice”) shall be required  to commence a grace period or declare the occurrence of an event of default before notice  of Acceleration may be delivered, such Default Notice shall have been given and (y) such  default shall not have been remedied or waived by or on behalf of such holder or holders;  provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a  result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness,  if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder; provided, further, that no Event of Default  shall result under this clause (e) with respect to any Indebtedness that is subject to a stay  issued by the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases, whether or not such Chapter 11  Cases are recognized by a foreign jurisdiction; or  (f) (i) any Person shall engage in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in  Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) involving any Plan, (ii)(A) any failure  to satisfy minimum funding standards (as defined in Section 302 or 303 of ERISA or  Section 412 or 430 of the Code), whether or not waived, shall exist with respect to any Plan  or (B) any Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan shall arise on the assets of either of the  Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity, (iii) a Reportable Event shall occur with  respect to, or proceedings shall commence to have a trustee appointed, or a trustee shall be  appointed, to administer or to terminate, any Single Employer Plan, which Reportable Event  or commencement of proceedings or appointment of a trustee is in the reasonable opinion  of the Administrative Agent likely to result in the termination of such Plan for purposes of  Title IV of ERISA, (iv) any Single Employer Plan shall terminate for purposes of Title IV  of ERISA other than a standard termination pursuant to Section 4041(b) of ERISA,  (v) either of the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity shall, or in the reasonable  opinion of the Administrative Agent is reasonably likely to, incur any liability in connection  with a withdrawal from, or the insolvency of (within the meaning of Section 4245 of  ERISA), a Multiemployer Plan, or (vi) any other event or condition shall occur or exist with  respect to a Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan; and in each case in clauses (i)  through (vi) of this clause (f), such event or condition, either individually or together with  all other such events or conditions, if any, would be reasonably expected to result in a  Material Adverse Effect; or  (g) entry of a final, non-appealable judgment by a court or courts of competent  jurisdiction with respect to liabilities arising after the Petition Date aggregating in excess of  $100,000,000 (determined net of amounts covered by insurance policies or by third-party  indemnities or a combination thereof), shall be entered against any Loan Party, and the Loan  Parties pay in cash an amount in excess of $50,000,000 on account of such liabilities; or  

 

    98  (h) actual or asserted in writing (by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof)  invalidity or impairment of any Loan Document (including the failure of any DIP Lien to  remain perfected and superior to and prior to the rights of all third persons (except as  provided herein) or any guarantee or agreement ceasing to be in full force and effect, in  each case, other than in accordance with its terms); or  (i) an order is entered dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases; or  (j) the filing by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof of a motion or other  pleading seeking entry of an order dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases or converting  any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; or  (k) a trustee, responsible officer or examiner having expanded powers (beyond  those set forth under Sections 1106(a)(3) and 1106(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code) under  Section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code (other than a fee examiner) is appointed in the  Chapter 11 Cases of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, any Loan Party or any Affiliate  thereof applies for, consents to or acquiesces in, any such appointment, or the Bankruptcy  Court shall have entered an order providing for such appointment, in each case without the  prior written consent of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion; or  (l) the entry of an order staying, reversing, vacating or otherwise modifying the  DIP Order, in a manner adverse in any material respect to the Administrative Agent or the  Lenders, or the filing by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof of an application, motion or  other pleading seeking entry of such an order; or  (m) the entry of an order in any of the Chapter 11 Cases denying or terminating  the use of cash collateral by the Loan Parties without the consent of the Administrative  Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided that the Lenders cannot cause  such an Event of Default by refusing to consent to the continued use of cash collateral on  terms and conditions the same as, or more beneficial to, the Prepetition Secured Parties  compared to those set forth in the Third Interim Adequate Protection Order (and subject to  the ability to contribute the assets (including Vehicles) or Capital Stock of HVF LLC or  HFLF to any HVF 2.5 ABS Facility or any HVF 3 ABS Facility or any other asset-backed  securitization permitted hereunder); or  (n) the entry of a final non-appealable order in the Chapter 11 Cases: (i)  charging any of the DIP Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code against  the Lenders; (ii) avoiding, limiting, modifying, subordinating or recharacterizing any of  the DIP Obligations or requiring disgorgement by the Lenders of any amounts received in  respect of the obligations under the DIP Facility; or (iii) resulting in the marshaling of any  DIP Collateral, or the commencement of other actions by any Loan Party or any Affiliate  thereof that challenge the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders  under the DIP Facility in any of the Chapter 11 Cases; or  (o) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders,  the entry of an order in any of the Chapter 11 Cases seeking authority to obtain financing  under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (other than the DIP Facility or financing that is  

 

    99  junior, in all respects including claim and lien priority, to the DIP Facility and to the   Prepetition First Lien Secured Debt ), unless such financing would repay in full in cash all  obligations under the DIP Facility upon consummation thereof; or  (p) the filing of, or taking any action to support, any pleading by any Loan Party  or any Affiliate thereof seeking, or otherwise consenting to, any of the matters set forth in  clauses (i) through (o) above;   (q) an order of the Bankruptcy Court granting, other than in respect of the DIP  Facility and the Carve-Out, or as otherwise permitted under the applicable Loan  Documents: (i) a priority of any lien against any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof that is  equal to or senior to the priority of the liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;  or (ii) any claim entitled to superpriority administrative expense claim status in the Chapter  11 Cases pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code pari passu with or senior  to the claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or the filing by any Loan Party  or any Affiliate thereof of a motion or application seeking entry of such an order; or  (r) unless consented to or waived by the Required Lenders, any Loan Party  shall commence, join in, assist, otherwise participate as an adverse party in or consent to a  third party's standing to settle, any suit or other proceeding against the Administrative  Agent or any of the Lenders regarding the DIP Facility, including the validity, extent,  perfection or priority of any liens granted under or obligations arising under the DIP Order,  unless such suit or other proceeding is in connection with the enforcement of the Loan  Documents against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; or  (s) any Loan Party consents to a third party’s standing to settle any lawsuit or  challenge to the claims or liens of the Prepetition Secured Parties; or  (t) any Loan Party seeks approval of an order approving a sale of all or  substantially all of the Loan Parties' assets (taken as a whole) under Section 363 of the  Bankruptcy Code that does not provide for payment in full of the DIP Facility; it being  understood and agreed that a Mandatory Payment Event will not trigger this clause (t); or  (u) any cessation of all or any material part of business operations of the Loan  Parties (taken as a whole) in the U.S. and Canada without the consent of the Lenders or the  Loan Parties (taken as a whole) are enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by the  order of any court or Governmental Authority from conducting all or any material part of  their business, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse  effect on the ability of the Loan Parties (taken as a whole) to perform their payment  obligations under any Loan Document, other than as a result of the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Loan  Parties.    Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative  Agent may, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, deliver a written notice to the Debtors’  lead restructuring counsel, the U.S. Trustee and counsel to the Creditors’ Committee (the  “Termination Notice,” the date on which the Termination Notice is given, the “Termination Notice  

 

    100  Date,” and such period commencing on the Termination Notice Date and ending five Business  Days later, the “Termination Notice Period”), and the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the  Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed lifted to permit the Administrative Agent, at the written  direction of the Required Lenders, to deliver such Termination Notice; provided, that if a hearing  to consider relief in connection with delivery of the Termination Notice (as may be held on an  expedited basis) (a “Remedies Hearing”) is requested to be heard within such five-Business-Day  period but is scheduled for a later date by the Bankruptcy Court, the Termination Notice Period  shall be automatically extended to the date of such hearing.  During the Termination Notice Period  and prior to the Termination Date, the Loan Parties, the Committee and/or any other party in  interest shall be entitled to seek a Remedies Hearing, and the Loan Parties may continue to use the  proceeds of the Loans (and any other cash on hand or on deposit in any deposit account or other  bank account of a Loan Party) to (i) fund the Carve-Out Reserves as provided in the DIP Order  and (ii) to pay for payroll or other expenditures which are necessary to maintain the Loan Parties’  operations or preserve the value of the DIP Collateral.  At any Remedies Hearing, each Loan Party  hereby waives, and shall not be entitled to assert (including, without limitation, under Section 105  of the Bankruptcy Code), the right to challenge or dispute the effectiveness of any provision of the  DIP Order, to the extent such relief would impair or restrict the rights and remedies of the  Administrative Agent as set forth in the DIP Order or in any of the Loan Documents.  Upon the  expiration of the Termination Notice Period, without further notice or order of the Bankruptcy  Court, but subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and any order of  the Bankruptcy Court, the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be  deemed lifted to permit the Administrative Agent, at the written direction of the Required Lenders:  (i) to terminate the DIP Facility and the Commitments thereunder, including all Commitments of  the Lenders to provide any extensions of credit in connection with the Loan Documents, upon  which the Loan Parties’ ability to incur additional DIP Obligations will automatically terminate  and the DIP Secured Parties will have no obligation to provide any Loans or make any other  financial accommodations; (ii) to declare all DIP Obligations to be immediately due and payable;  (iii) to charge interest at the default rate under the Loan Documents; and (iv) acting at the written  direction of the Required Lenders, exercise any rights and remedies against the DIP Collateral  under the DIP Order, the Loan Documents and applicable non-bankruptcy law (and the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders may exercise such other rights available to them under the  Loan Documents or the Financing Order, as applicable) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to  credit bid all or some of the Loans pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code); provided,  that the Administrative Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) may notify (in  writing or otherwise) the Borrower of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default in a  manner other than a Termination Notice if so indicated thereby.  SECTION 10. THE AGENT.     Appointment.  (a)  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints  the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent in such capacity,  to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or  required of the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,  together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision  to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or  

 

    101  responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in each other Loan Document, or any  fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,  obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise  exist against the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties  under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred  to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent agrees to act as the U.S. federal  withholding Tax agent in respect of all amounts payable by it under the Loan Documents.    (b) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan  Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required  to take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected  in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or  such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the  Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon  each Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any  action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the  Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders against any  and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it with respect to such action or (ii) is  contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action  that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy,  insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent  may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such  instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been  provided.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its  own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties  hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for  believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not  reasonably assured to it. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in each instance where  discretionary rights or powers conferred upon the Administrative Agent may be exercised or  refrained from being exercised, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right, in its sole  discretion, to consult with, or seek the affirmative or negative vote from, the Required Lenders or,  if otherwise applicable, the Lenders, and it may do so pursuant to a negative notice or otherwise.     Delegation of Duties.  In performing its functions and duties under this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent for  the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent does not assume any (and shall not be deemed to have  assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its  Subsidiaries.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the  other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to advice of  counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be  responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected  by it with reasonable care.   Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its  officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action  taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other  

 

    102  Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or any of its  officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates as determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) or (b) responsible in any manner to  any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Holdings,  the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other  Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for  in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other  Loan Document, (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency  of the DIP Collateral or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) for any failure of  Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any  other Loan Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or  conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the  conditions precedent set forth in Section 6, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default  or Event of Default.  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 Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party.  Each Lender agrees that, except for  notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the  Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the account of or with  copies for the Lenders, 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 Holdings, the Borrower or any  other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its  officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.   Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be  entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying,  upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype  message or other electronic transmission, statement, order or other document or conversation  believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person  or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or  Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The  Administrative Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and the Lenders 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 the Required Commitment Parties, as  applicable, and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to Section  11.1(a) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders  against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or  continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in  acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in  accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or the Required Commitment Parties, as  applicable, and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to Section  11.1(a), 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.   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 hereunder unless the  

 

    103  Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or either of the Borrower or Holdings  referring to this Agreement and describing such Default or Event of Default.  In the event that the  Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice  thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with  respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders or the  Required Commitment Parties, as applicable, and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders  as is required pursuant to Section 11.1(a); 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.   Acknowledgements and Representations by Lenders.  Each Lender  expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors,  employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it  and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of  the Borrower or any other 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  and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent  or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it  has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations,  property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and the other  Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement  and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the  other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide  any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its  possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.  Each Lender represents  to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings  institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which  makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating  hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience  to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder.  Each Lender  acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6 applicable to the Lenders  hereunder.   Indemnification.     The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate  thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting  the obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to do so), ratably according to their  respective Applicable Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under  this Section 10.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have  been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated, ratably in accordance with their  respective Applicable Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all  liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or  disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the  payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent  

 

    104  (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other  Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted  by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) 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  to the extent arising from (a) the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct  as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or (b)  claims made or legal proceedings commenced against the Administrative Agent by any security  holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or  creditor solely in its capacity as such.  The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the  payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.   The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to  take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required  to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its  satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur  by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.   The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of all DIP  Obligations.   The Administrative 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 the Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other  Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent was not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under  the other Loan Documents.  With respect to Loans made or renewed 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 they were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms  “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.   Successor Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by  giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and, notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative  Agent with or without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the  Borrower, in each case whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon  any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor  Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfactory to the  Borrower. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required  Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative  Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the  Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New  York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank.  In either case (whether a resignation or a removal),  such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may  not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and  is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor  Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested  with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent.  

 

    105  Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent,  the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and  obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any Administrative  Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed  Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is being appointed at  the time of such resignation or removal, take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign  to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;   provided that if a successor Administrative Agent is not appointed within the time period described  above, then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in  accordance with the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, and (i) the retiring or  removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and  under the other Loan  Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations required  to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender  directly (and each Lender will cooperate with the Borrower to enable the Borrower to take such  actions), until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as  provided above in this Section 10.9(a).   (b)  Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor  Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment (x)  within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign or (y)  within 20 days after the removed Administrative Agent receives notice of its removal, as  applicable, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation  to the Lenders and the Borrower or the Required Lenders may give notice of the effectiveness of  the removal of the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as  applicable, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation or removal stated in such  notice, (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and  obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of  maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security  Document for the benefit of the DIP Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall  continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the DIP  Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and  Loan Document, and, in the case of any DIP Collateral in the possession of the Administrative  Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case solely until such time as a successor  Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section  (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or  obligation to take any further action under any Security Document), and (ii) the Required Lenders  shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring  or removed Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 4.11 and other than any rights  to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as  of the effectiveness of such resignation or retirement); provided that (A) all payments required to  be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account  of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B)  all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the  Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the  effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the  provisions of this Article and Section 11.5, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and  indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the  

 

    106  benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective  Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the  retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of  the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.   Chapter 11 Cases; Bankruptcy.    Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to (x) require the Administrative  Agent to file or prove any claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, or (y) authorize the Administrative Agent  to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,  arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or  to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such  proceeding.   The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, based  upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the DIP Obligations  (including by accepting some or all of the DIP Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the DIP  Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase  all or any portion of the DIP Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of  the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any  similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) or at any sale or other  disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9- 610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (c) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of  debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether  by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law.  In connection with any  such credit bid or purchase, (i) the DIP Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be,  and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a  ratable basis (with DIP Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving  contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of  such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount  used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Capital  Stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such  purchase) and (ii) the Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders,  may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used  to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith the Administrative Agent  may reduce the DIP Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their  DIP Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of DIP Obligations so credit bid)  based upon the value of such non-cash consideration.  Except as provided above or as otherwise  provided for in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will not execute and deliver a release of  any DIP Lien on any DIP Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is  of all or substantially all of the DIP Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required  Lenders.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower at any time, the Lenders will  confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any such DIP Liens on particular  types or items of DIP Collateral pursuant to this Section 10; provided, that (1) anything to the  contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall  not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on  terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, could expose the Administrative  

 

    107  Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such  DIP Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any  manner discharge, affect, or impair the DIP Obligations or any DIP Liens (other than those  expressly released) upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) any and all interests retained  by the Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part  of the DIP Collateral to the extent applicable.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require any Loan Party to  conduct any sale or other disposition or shall permit any DIP Secured Party to commence a sale,  foreclosure, or other disposition, directly or indirectly, in each case, subject to the provisions of  Section 9.   Application of Proceeds.  Subject to the DIP Order, the Lenders and the  Administrative Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows:  after the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent  or any Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents  shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be distributed and applied in the following  order (in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts  owing or outstanding as described below):  (1) first, to pay all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket  costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing to the  Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, including in connection with enforcing the rights  of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents (including all expenses of  sale or other realization of or in respect of the DIP Collateral and any sums advanced to the  Administrative Agent or to preserve its security interest in the DIP Collateral); (2) second, to pay  (on a ratable basis) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable  attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing to each of the Lenders under the Loan  Documents, including in connection with enforcing such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents;  (3) third, to pay (on a ratable basis) accrued and unpaid interest on Loans then outstanding; (4)  fourth, to pay (on a ratable basis) accrued and unpaid commitment fees on the Commitments  pursuant to Section 4.5(b), (5) fifth, to pay (on a ratable basis) principal of Loans then outstanding;  (6) sixth, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding amounts due and payable to the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and (7) seventh, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may  be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.  To the extent any amounts available for distribution  pursuant to clause “fifth” are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys  shall be allocated pro rata among the Persons entitled to payment of such obligations based on the  relative amounts of such obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Obligations (as  defined in the Guarantee Agreement) with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts  received from such Guarantor or its assets.  SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.   Amendments and Waivers.     Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof  or thereof, may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in accordance with the  provisions of this Section 11.1.  The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the  Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (x) enter into with the  

 

    108  respective Loan Parties hereto or thereto, as the case may be, written amendments, supplements or  modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to  this Agreement or to the other Loan Documents or changing, in any manner the rights or  obligations of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (y) waive at any Loan  Party’s request, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent,  as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or  the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,  however, that amendments pursuant to Section 11.1(d) may be effected without the consent of the  Required Lenders to the extent provided therein; provided, further, that no waiver and no  amendment, supplement or modification shall:  (i) reduce or forgive the amount or extend the scheduled date of  maturity of any Loan or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable  hereunder (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post- default increase in interest rates or fee) or extend the scheduled date of any payment  thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s  Commitment or change the currency in which any Loan is payable, in each case  without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, subject  to Section 11.1(d) (it being understood that (x) waivers or modifications of  conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory  reduction in the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders shall not constitute an  increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and (y) an increase in the available  portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the  Commitment of such Lender);  (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.1(a) or  reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required  Commitment Parties” or consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the  Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other  Loan Documents (other than pursuant to Section 8.3 or 11.6(a)), in each case  without the written consent of all the Lenders;  (iii) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee of the  DIP Obligations pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, or all or substantially all of  the DIP Collateral, in each case without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as  expressly permitted hereby or by the DIP Order; or  (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the  written consent of the Administrative Agent.   Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to  this Section 11.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the  Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver,  each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former  position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of  Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend  to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.  

 

    109   Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (x) no Defaulting  Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder  or under any of the Loan Documents, except to the extent the consent of such Lender would be  required under clause (i) in the further proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1(a) and (y)  no Disqualified Institution shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver  or consent hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement and  the other Loan Documents may be amended in accordance with Section 2.6 to incorporate the  terms of any Incremental L/C Facilities with only the written consent of the Borrower, the Lenders  providing such Incremental L/C Facilities and the Administrative Agent, which amendment may,  without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement or the other  Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the  Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of Section 2.6; provided that if  such amendment includes a commitment of a bank or other financial institution that is not at such  time a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender, the inclusion of such bank or other financial institution  as an Additional Incremental L/C Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Required Lenders  (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at the time of such amendment.  The Lenders hereby  irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment as may be  necessary in order to establish Incremental L/C Facilities pursuant to Section 2.6 and such  technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the  Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Incremental  L/C Facilities, in each case on terms consistent with Section 2.6.     [Reserved].   If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or  termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as  contemplated by Section 11.1(a), the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, as  applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the  consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such  other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, on notice to the  Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender, (A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender  by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.6  (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such  instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided  that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to  find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the  applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan  Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non- Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the  assignee Lender (or, at its option, by the Borrower) to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently  with such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) prepay the Loans and, if applicable, terminate the  Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Section 4.12, without  premium or penalty.   In connection with any such replacement under this Section 11.1(f), if the  Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly  

 

    110  completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such  replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers  such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which  all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and  Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting  Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such  Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower  shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or  such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender.   Notices.     All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto  to be effective shall be in writing (including telecopy or electronic mail), and, unless otherwise  expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by  hand, or three days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy  notice or electronic mail, when received, or, in the case of delivery by a nationally recognized  overnight courier, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower, the  Administrative Agent, and as set forth in Schedule A in the case of the other parties hereto, or to  such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto and any future  holders of the Loans:  The Borrower: The Hertz Corporation  8501 Williams Road   Estero, Florida 33928   Attention:  Treasurer   Facsimile:  (866) 444-2755   Telephone:  (201) 307-2607     with copies to: The Hertz Corporation  8501 Williams Road   Estero, Florida 33928   Attention:  General Counsel   Facsimile:  (866) 888-3765   Telephone:  (239) 301-7600  with copies to (that will   not constitute notice): White & Case LLP   1221 Avenue of the Americas   New York, New York 10020   Attention:  Andrew Zatz; David Turetsky   azatz@whitecase.com   david.turetsky@whitecase.com    The Administrative Agent: For notices (other than requests for Loans):

Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Loan Party and its  Subsidiaries to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the  Administrative Agent may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without liability upon the  basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a  Responsible Officer.   Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures.  Loan Documents  may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic means (i.e., a “pdf” or “tiff”).   The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the  same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on each Loan Party, the  Administrative Agent and each Lender.  The Administrative Agent may also require that any such  documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the  failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or other  electronic document or signature.   Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the  Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including  electronic mail and Internet or intranet websites); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to  notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent  that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication.  The  Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other  communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved  by it; provided that the approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or  communications.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes (with the Borrower’s  consent), (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received

No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in  exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party, any right, remedy,  power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof;  nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude  any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.   The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any  rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.   Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and  warranties made hereunder and in the other Loan Documents (or in any amendment, modification  or supplement hereto or thereto) and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or such other Loan  Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans  hereunder.   Payment of Expenses.  Subject to the DIP Order, but regardless of whether  the Closing Date occurs, the Loan Parties shall promptly pay (or cause to be paid): (i) all reasonable,  documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (but  limited, in the case of legal and consultant or other advisors’ fees and expenses, to the reasonable  and actual disbursements and other charges of (a) Arnold & Porter, (b) Troutman Pepper, (c)  Houlihan (including its out-of-pocket expenses, its Monthly Fees and its Deferred Fee), (d) one firm  of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, (e) reasonable and actual fees and expenses of one  additional consultant, solely to the extent unpaid pursuant to the Commitment Letter, and which  shall in no event be in an aggregate amount greater than the difference between (x) $100,000 and  (y) any amounts paid pursuant to the Commitment Letter, (f) one primary outside counsel of the  Administrative Agent, (g) one local counsel of the Administrative Agent and (h) reasonable and  actual fees and expenses of advisors to the Additional Commitment Party (as defined in the  Commitment Letter) incurred on or before the Closing Date), in each case (except as otherwise  explicitly specified in clause (h) above), whether accrued on, prior to or after the Closing Date, in  connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to: (a) the preparation, negotiation  and execution of the Loan Documents; (b) the syndication and funding of the Loans; (c) the creation,  perfection or protection of the DIP Liens (including all search, filing and recording fees); (d) the  ongoing administration of the Loan Documents (including the preparation, negotiation and execution  of any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements or supplements thereto); (e) the  enforcement of the Loan Documents; (f) any refinancing or restructuring of the DIP Facility in the  nature of a “work-out”; and (g) any legal proceeding relating to or arising out of the DIP Facility or  the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) all fees of the Administrative  Agent charged (and agreed to by the Borrower in the Fee Letter) in connection with the DIP Facility,  the Commitment Re-allocation and the “seasoning” of the DIP Facility and the other services they  provide in connection with the DIP Facility.  All of the fees and expenses set forth in the preceding  clauses (i) and (ii) that have accrued on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by the Borrower  

 

    113  on such date (and may be netted out of Loans incurred on such date).  For the avoidance of doubt,  this clause shall not apply to expenses incurred in connection with any legal proceedings not relating  to or arising out of the Commitment Letter, this Agreement, or any other actions brought against the  Lenders in their capacities solely as holders of Prepetition First Lien Secured Debt.  Any amounts  payable pursuant to this paragraph following the Closing Date shall be paid by the Borrower within  thirty days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto, setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.  The Loan Parties agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrative  Agent, the Lenders, the Joint Bookrunner, their respective Affiliates and their respective directors,  officers, managers, members, employees, attorneys (including Arnold & Porter), advisors  (including Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. (“Houlihan”)), consultants, agents and other  representatives, in each case in their capacity as such (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against  any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, joint or several, to which any such  Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the DIP  Facility (including any ancillary documents and security arrangements in connection therewith)  and documentation thereof, the use of the proceeds thereof or any claim, litigation, investigation  or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any  Indemnitee is a party thereto, and regardless of whether or not such Proceedings are brought by  the Borrower, its equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other person and to reimburse each  such Indemnitee by no later than 30 days after a written request for any reasonable and documented  out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any Proceeding (but  limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses in all cases in respect of the foregoing, to (i) one  firm of counsel in all cases in respect of the foregoing for all Indemnitees (other than the  Administrative Agent) taken as a whole and, if necessary, one firm of specialist counsel and one  firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may be a single firm for multiple  jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (other than the Administrative Agent) taken as a whole (and, in  the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee(s) affected by such  conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and retains their own counsel, of another firm of  counsel for all such affected Indemnitee(s) taken as a whole) and (ii) one firm of counsel for the  Administrative Agent and, if necessary, one firm of specialist counsel and one firm of local counsel  in each appropriate jurisdiction); provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any  Indemnitee, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (1) to the extent they  are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have  resulted from (x) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any  of its Related Parties (as defined below) or (y) a material breach of the obligations of such  Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the  DIP Facility, (2) arising out of, or in connection with, any Proceeding that does not involve an act  or omission by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and that is brought by an  Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee other than any Proceeding against any Indemnitee in its  capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent or similar role under the DIP Facility,  or (3) arising out of any action brought against any Indemnitee in its capacity as a holder of  Prepetition First Lien Secured Debt.  Each Lender shall have liability only to the Borrower (as  opposed to any other person) and that each Lender shall be liable solely in respect of its own  Commitment on a several, and not joint, basis with any other Lender. For purposes hereof,  a “Related Party” of an Indemnitee means such Indemnitee’s controlled Affiliates, directors,  employees, officers, controlling persons, advisors or other representatives.  

 

    114    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties also agree to indemnify Houlihan  and the HL (as defined in the Houlihan Engagement Letter (as such indemnity is in effect on the  date of the Commitment Letter)) pursuant to the terms of the Houlihan Engagement Letter.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and  each hereby waives, any claim against HGH and its Related Parties or 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 the Commitment Letter, the  other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions  contemplated hereby or thereby, or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee  or the Borrower and its Affiliates 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 the  Commitment Letter, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or  thereby, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a  court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct  of such Indemnitee.  Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to this  Section 11.5 shall be submitted to the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.2, or to such  other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the  Administrative Agent.  This Section 11.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any  Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.  The agreements  in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.     The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the  benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except  that (i) other than in accordance with Section 8.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise  transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender  (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and  void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except  in accordance with 4.13(d), 4.14(c), 11.1(d) or this Section 11.6.   (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender  other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with  applicable law, assign (other than to a Disqualified Institution (so long as the Borrower has made  the list of Disqualified Institutions available to the Administrative Agent, who may make it  available to all Lenders) or any natural person) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”),  without the consent of the Borrower, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this  Agreement (with an assignment by a Lender of its outstanding Loans to include a proportionate  amount of its outstanding Commitment, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially  in the form of Exhibit B) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent  not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent  shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;   

 

    115  (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:  (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate  of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining  amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans under the DIP  Facility, the amount of the Commitments and Loans of the assigning Lender  subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment  and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the  Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the  Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that  such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates  or Approved Funds, if any;  (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to  the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a  processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that for concurrent  assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only  be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments;  and  (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the  Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.  For the purposes of this Section 11.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other  than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans  and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a)  a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or  manages a Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make  assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified Institution (so long as the Borrower has  made the list of Disqualified Institutions available to the Administrative Agent, who may make it  available to all Lenders).  (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph  (b)(iv) 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 (and bound by any related obligations  under) Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 11.5, and bound by its continuing  obligations under Section 11.16).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights  or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Section 4.13(d),  4.14(c), or 11.1(d) or this Section 11.6 shall, to the extent it would comply with  Section 11.6(c) be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender  

 

    116  of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of  this Section 11.6.  (iv) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the  Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes  of this Section 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York 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 interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to  the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register  shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative  Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the  Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this  Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available  for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but, in the case of a Lender, only  in respect of its own interest in the Loans and Commitments), at any reasonable  time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.    (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance  executed by an assigning Lender (unless such assignment is made in accordance  with Section 4.13(d), 4.14(c) or 11.1(d), in which case the effectiveness of such  Assignment and Acceptance shall not require execution by the assigning Lender)  and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the  Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee  referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6 and any written consent to such  assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6, the Administrative Agent  shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained  therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation  to the Borrower.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement  unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment  to it pursuant to this Section 11.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section  4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date  under such sections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater  payments unless the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this  provision at the time of such assignment.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Commitment Party may assign its Commitment  to one or more Other Prepetition Secured Parties pursuant to the Commitment Re-allocation, in  each case, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.     Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its  business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the  Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Institution (so long as the  Borrower has made the list of Disqualified Institutions available to the Administrative Agent, who  may make it available to all Lenders or a natural person) to one or more banks or other entities (a  

 

    117  “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, (C) such  Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan and Commitment for all purposes under this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and  the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with  such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a  Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce  this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this  Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that, to the extent of such participation  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 and adversely affected thereby  pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1(a) and (2) directly and adversely  affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 11.6, the Borrower agrees that  each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under)  Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired  its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6.  To the extent permitted  by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were  a Lender provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a  Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under  this Agreement to any Disqualified Institution (so long as the Borrower has made the list of  Disqualified Institutions available to the Administrative Agent, who may make it available to all  Lenders).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of  the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and  the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the DIP Facility or other  obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall  have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any Person (including  the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any DIP  Facility or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure  is necessary (x) to establish that such DIP Facility or other obligation is in registered form under  Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or (y) for the Borrower to enforce  its rights hereunder.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest  error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register  as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice  to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as  Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.    No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under  Section 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any  participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the  Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such  participation.  Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 unless such  Participant complies with Section 4.11(b) or (c), as applicable, and provides the forms and  certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.  

 

    118   Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative  Agent, 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, and this Section 11.6 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 (by foreclosure or  otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.   No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any  Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower if it  would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any  Loan under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive  such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or  Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any  assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all  of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the  Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section  11.6(b).  The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not  institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender  any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation  proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one  day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit  Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to  indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense  arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such  period of forbearance.  Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from  the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.6(g) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate  from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount  of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which  certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Without limiting the indemnification  obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Section 11.6(g), in the event that the  indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by  the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to the  Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be  void.   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.6, nothing in  this Section 11.6 is intended to or should be construed to limit the Borrower’s right to prepay the  Loans as provided hereunder, including under Section 4.4.   The Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall not be responsible  or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance  with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of  the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall not (x) be obligated to  ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or  

 

    119  Participant is a Disqualified  Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any  assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified  Institution.    Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations.     If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment  of all or part of its Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof  (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature  referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d),  4.14, 11.1(f) or 11.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by  any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or interest thereon,  such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation,  assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or shall  provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as  shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such  collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion  of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such  purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such  recovery, but without interest.     In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each  Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly  waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event  of Default under Section 9(a) to set-off as appropriate and apply against any amount then due and  payable under Section 9(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or  demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in  any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or  unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the  credit or the account of the Borrower.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and  the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided  that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.   Judgment.  (a)  If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment  against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any  other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 11.8 referred to as the  “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation  Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange  prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount  due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such  conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any  proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion  is made pursuant to this Section 11.8 being hereinafter in this Section 11.8 referred to as the  “Judgment Conversion Date”).   If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to  in Section 11.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment  

 

    120  Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan  Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be  necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted  at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the  Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency  stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment  Conversion Date.  Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Section 11.8(b) shall be due  as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due  under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.   The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 11.8 means the rate of exchange  at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time),  would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange  practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the  parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy and other  electronic transmission), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute  one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall  be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.   Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or  unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such  prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such  prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such  provision in any other jurisdiction.   Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the  entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders  with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or  warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative  to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan  Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement,  on the one hand, and of the Commitment Letter, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of this  Agreement shall control.

Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that:  (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of  this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;  (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary  relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this  Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the  Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand,  in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor;   (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or  otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby among the  Lenders or among any of the Borrower and the Lenders; and  (d) neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be  construed against the Lenders or the Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or  otherwise.
