Each provision of this Credit Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

The Existing Letters of Credit shall, as of the Closing Date, be deemed to have been issued as Letters of Credit hereunder and subject to and governed by the terms of this Credit Agreement.
(B)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application in connection with a Letter of Credit to be issued or amended, as the case may be, by an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower Representative and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(C)    If the Borrower Representative so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Banks shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (1) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.1(c) or otherwise), or (2) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (I) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Banks have elected not to permit such extension or (II) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Bank or the Borrower Representative that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
(D)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank or any amendment to a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, such Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(b)    Minimum Amounts.  Each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Each Base Rate Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan comprising a Swingline Loan) shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount) and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(c)    Information Not Provided.  If in connection with any request for a Loan, the Borrower Representative shall fail to specify (i) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month, (ii) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed, then the Loans so requested shall be denominated in Dollars, or (iii) the type of loan requested, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan.  If in connection with any request for a Swingline Loan, the Borrower Representative shall fail to specify the type of Swingline Loan requested, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan.
(d)    Maximum Number of Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  The Revolving Loans may be comprised of no more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans outstanding at any time.  The Term A-1 Loans may be comprised of no more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans outstanding at any time.  The Term A-2 Loans may be comprised of no more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans outstanding at any time.  The Term B Loans may be comprised of no more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans outstanding at any time.  The Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Facility may be comprised of no more than seven (7) Eurocurrency Rate Loans outstanding at any time.  For purposes hereof, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with separate or different Interest Periods will be considered as separate Eurocurrency Rate Loans even if their Interest Periods expire on the same date.

2.3    Interest.
Subject to Section 3.1, the Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate, payable in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein), as follows:
(a)    Revolving Loans; Term Loans; Incremental Term Loans.
(i)    Base Rate Loans.  During such periods as Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans shall consist of Base Rate Loans, the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)    Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  During such periods as Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans shall consist of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(b)    Swingline Loans.
(i)    Base Rate Loans.  During such periods as Swingline Loans shall consist of Base Rate Loans, the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Base Rate Loans; and

2.6    Additional Provisions relating to Letters of Credit.
(a)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent thereof.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrowers shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrowers shall have notified such Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrowers will reimburse such Issuing Bank in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower Representative of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency.  If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Bank of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.  In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2(b) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Loan Borrowing).  Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)    Each Revolving Bank shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent which date will not be earlier than the Business Day following the Honor Date, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c)(ii), each Revolving Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars.
(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an LOC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LOC Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Revolving Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LOC Borrowing and shall constitute an LOC Advance from such Revolving Bank in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.6.
(iv)    Until each Revolving Bank funds its Revolving Loan or LOC Advance pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank.
(v)    Each Revolving Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or LOC Advances to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.6(a), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Bank may have against such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower Representative of a Notice of Loan Borrowing).  No such making of an LOC Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Revolving Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(a) by the time specified in Section 2.6(a)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Credit Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Bank pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or LOC Advance in respect of the relevant LOC Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Bank such Revolving Bank’s LOC Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.6(a), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Bank its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.2(b) (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Revolving Banks under this clause shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.
(c)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse each Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LOC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Credit Party or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    any payment by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v)    any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any member of the Consolidated Group or in the relevant currency markets generally; or
(vi)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary.
The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to any of them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower Representative’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(d)    Role of Issuing Bank.  Each Revolving Bank and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Revolving Bank for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Banks or the Required Revolving Banks, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or LOC Document.  The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Banks, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Banks shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.6(c); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Banks may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Banks shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(e)    Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(f)    Standby Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Bank in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Standby Letter of Credit Fee”) in Dollars for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Percentage times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Standby Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Bank with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Bank has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Banks in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.18(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such Issuing Bank for its own account.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4.  Standby Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Percentage during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Percentage was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Banks, while any Event of Default exists, all Standby Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(g)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers shall pay directly to (i) Bank of America, in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee in Dollars with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by Bank of America, at the rate per annum separately agreed between Bank of America and the Borrower Representative, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a quarterly basis in arrears, and (ii) each other Issuing Bank, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate separately agreed between such Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4, but without giving effect to automatic increases in the stated amount not in effect at such time.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of each Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(h)    Conflict with LOC Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any LOC Document, including the Existing Letters of Credit, the terms hereof shall control.
(i)    Letters of Credit Issued for the Parent or Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, the Parent or a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Parent or such Borrower’s Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that the Borrowers’ businesses derive substantial benefits from the businesses of the Parent and the Borrowers’ respective Subsidiaries.
(j)    Reports.  Each Issuing Bank will provide to the Administrative Agent at least quarterly, and more frequently upon request, a detailed summary report on all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and the activity thereon, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Each Issuing Bank will provide copies of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Banks promptly upon request.
(k)    Additional Issuing Banks.  Any Revolving Bank hereunder may become an Issuing Bank upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such Revolving Bank’s agreement with the Borrower Representative to become an Issuing Bank hereunder.

2.7    Additional Provisions relating to Swingline Loans.
(a)    Refinancing of Swingline Loans.
(i)    The Swingline Bank at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the U.S. Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swingline Bank to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Bank make a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Loan Borrowing for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Loan Borrowing) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.  The Swingline Bank shall furnish the Borrower Representative with a copy of the applicable Notice of Loan Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Bank shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Notice of Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the Swingline Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Notice of Loan Borrowing, whereupon, subject to Section 2.7(a)(ii), each Revolving Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the applicable U.S. Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Bank.
(ii)    If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(i), the request for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swingline Bank as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Bank that each of the Revolving Banks fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Revolving Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Bank pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)    If any Revolving Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a) by the time specified in Section 2.7(a)(i), the Swingline Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Bank in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Bank pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swingline Bank submitted to any Revolving Bank (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    Each Revolving Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Bank may have against the Swingline Bank, the U.S. Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the U.S. Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(b)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any Revolving Bank has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Bank receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Bank will distribute to such Revolving Bank its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Bank. 
(ii)    If any payment received by the Swingline Bank in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Bank under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.2(b) (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Bank shall pay to the Swingline Bank its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Bank.  The obligations of the Revolving Banks under this clause shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.
(c)    Interest for Account of Swingline Bank.  The Swingline Bank shall be responsible for invoicing the U.S. Borrowers for interest on the Swingline Loans.  Until each Revolving Bank funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.7 to refinance such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Bank.
(d)    Payments Directly to Swingline Bank.  The U.S. Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Bank.

2.8    Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.
(a)    Subject to Section 2.8(b): 
(i)    Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Banks under this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.
(ii)    Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.
(iii)    If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the obligations hereunder as and when due or to perform any of such obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such obligation.
(iv)    The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.8 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.
(v)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement (except to the extent demand is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Banks under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement.  Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Banks at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Banks in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Bank, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.8, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.8, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.8 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance.  The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.8 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Bank.  The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Bank.
(vi)    The provisions of this Section 2.8 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Bank, the Banks and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Bank first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any other remedy.  The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.  If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Banks upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.8 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, (i) the obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.8 shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Section 2.8 subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law, (ii) no Foreign Borrower shall be obligated with respect to any Obligations of any U.S. Borrower, (iii) the Obligations owed by the Foreign Borrowers shall be several and not joint with the Obligations of the U.S. Borrowers and the Guarantors, and (iv) no Foreign Borrower shall be liable for any Obligations of any U.S. Borrower or any Guarantor, and all amounts required to be paid by any Foreign Borrower under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be applied only to Obligations of Foreign Borrowers and shall not be applied to any Obligations of any U.S. Borrower or any Guarantor.

2.9    Appointment of the Parent as Legal Representative for Credit Parties.
Each of the Credit Parties hereby appoints the Parent to act as its exclusive legal representative for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to Borrowings and the repayment of Loans and amounts drawn under Letters of Credit as described in Section 2 and Section 3 hereof) (in such capacity, the “Borrower Representative”).  Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Borrower Representative may execute such documents on behalf of all the Credit Parties (whether as Borrowers or Guarantors) as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion and each Credit Party shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed by the Borrower Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by any Agent or any Bank hereunder to the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each of the Credit Parties and (c) each of the Agents and each of the Banks shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrower Representative on behalf of the Credit Parties (or any of them).  The Borrowers must act through the Borrower Representative for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision in this Credit Agreement requires any Credit Party to interact in any manner with the Agents or the Banks, such Credit Party shall do so through the Borrower Representative.

2.10    Incremental Facilities.
The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Termination Date, up to three (3) times following the Closing Date, upon prior written notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount (but not the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Committed Amount) and/or establish one or more Incremental Term Facilities (each such increase and/or establishment of an Incremental Term Facility, an “Incremental Facility” and collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”), by a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000,000 for all such Incremental Facilities, as follows:
(a)    Increases in Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.  The U.S. Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount (but not the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Committed Amount) with additional Revolving Commitments from any Revolving Bank or new Revolving Commitments from one or more other Persons selected by the Borrower Representative and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank (so long as such Persons would be permitted at such time by Section 11.3(b)(v) to become assignees hereunder); provided that:
(i)    any such increase shall be in Dollars;
(ii)    any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(vii)    a Financial Officer of the Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to any such increase on a Pro Forma Basis (and assuming for such calculation that such increase is fully drawn), the Credit Parties would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 7.10(a) and (b) as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which the Borrower Representative was required to deliver financial statements pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b); and
(viii)    Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed revised to include any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) and to include thereon any Person that becomes a Bank pursuant to this Section 2.10(a).
The Borrower Representative shall prepay any Revolving Loans owing by any Borrower and outstanding on the date of any such increase (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.12) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Commitments arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section.  As of the effective date of any such increase, the Credit Agreement shall be amended to reflect the Incremental Facility and the joinder to the Credit Agreement of any Eligible Assignees providing such Incremental Facility.  Such amendment shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Credit Parties and each Bank and Eligible Assignee providing such Incremental Facility without the consent of any other party.  Such amendment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.14 or 11.6 to the contrary.
(b)    Institution of Incremental Term Facilities.  The U.S. Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, institute an Incremental Term Facility from one or more Incremental Term Banks; provided that:
(i)    any such Incremental Term Facility shall be in Dollars and available only to a U.S. Borrower;

(v)    the Borrower Representative (in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent) shall obtain commitments for the amount of such Incremental Term Facility from existing Banks or other Persons that are Eligible Assignees and that are acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which Persons shall join in this Credit Agreement as Incremental Term Banks by executing an Incremental Term Joinder Agreement;
(vi)    as a condition precedent to such Incremental Term Facility, the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (A) a certificate of the Borrower Representative dated as of the date of such Incremental Term Facility and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Facility, (1) the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the other Credit Documents and which are contained in any certificate furnished at any time under or in connection herewith are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility as if made on and as of such date (except (x) for those which expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date, and (y) to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), and (2) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (B) a certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the date of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility and signed by a Responsible Officer of each Credit Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such Incremental Term Facility;

(ix)    the Incremental Term Facility Termination Date for such Incremental Term Facility shall be as set forth in the Incremental Term Joinder Agreement relating to such Incremental Term Facility; provided that such date shall not be earlier than the Latest Termination Date;
(x)    the scheduled principal amortization payments under such Incremental Term Facility shall be as set forth in the Incremental Term Joinder Agreement relating to such Incremental Term Facility; provided that (A) if such Incremental Term Facility provides for Incremental Term A Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term A Loans made under such Incremental Term Facility shall not be shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Term Loans or any then-existing Incremental Term A Loans, and (B) if such Incremental Term Facility provides for Incremental Term B Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term B Loans made under such Incremental Term Facility shall not be shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans; 
(xi)    the Applicable Percentage for the Incremental Term Loans under such Incremental Term Facility shall be as set forth in the Incremental Term Joinder Agreement relating to such Incremental Term Facility; provided that with respect to any Incremental Term B Loans denominated in Dollars and incurred under such Incremental Term Facility, if the All-In-Yield on such Incremental Term B Loans exceeds the All-In-Yield on the Term B Loans by more than fifty basis points (0.50%) per annum, then the Applicable Percentage payable with respect to the Term B Loans shall on the effective date of such Incremental Term Facility be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the All-In-Yield on such Incremental Term B Loans and the corresponding All-In-Yield on the Term B Loans minus fifty basis points (0.50%); and
(xii)    all other terms and documentation with respect to such Incremental Term Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (it being agreed that the following shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent: (A) covenants or other provisions (1) applicable only to periods after the Latest Termination Date, or (2) that are added for the benefit of the Agents and the Banks under the Term Facilities and any then-existing Incremental Term Facility, and (B) customary “MFN” protection and call protection, in each case, which may be applicable solely with respect to such Incremental Term Facility).
As of the effective date of any such Incremental Term Facility, the Credit Agreement shall be amended to reflect the Incremental Term Facility and the joinder to the Credit Agreement of any Eligible Assignees providing such Incremental Term Facility.  Such amendment shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Credit Parties and each Bank and Eligible Assignee providing such Incremental Term Facility without the consent of any other party.  Such amendment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.14 or 11.6 to the contrary.

2.11    Extension of Revolving Termination Date.
(a)    Requests for Extension.  The Borrowers may, by notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Revolving Banks), not later than 120 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Extension Date”), request that each Revolving Bank extend such Revolving Bank’s Revolving Termination Date for an additional year from the Revolving Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Revolving Termination Date”); provided that no more than two extensions under this Section 2.11 may be permitted.
(b)    Revolving Bank Elections to Extend.  Each Revolving Bank, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 15 Business Days from the date which such Revolving Bank received notice from the Administrative Agent of the Borrowers’ request for an extension of the Existing Revolving Termination Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Revolving Bank agrees to such extension.  Each Revolving Bank that determines not to so extend its Revolving Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date), and any Revolving Bank that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank.  The election of any Revolving Bank to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Revolving Bank to so agree.
(c)    Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative of each Revolving Bank’s determination under this Section 2.11 no later than the date 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).
(d)    Additional Commitment Banks.  The Borrower Representative shall have the right on or before the Extension Date (effective as of the Extension Date) to replace the Revolving Commitments of any Non-Extending Banks with, and at its option add as “Revolving Banks” under this Credit Agreement, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Bank”) as provided in Section 11.18, each of which Additional Commitment Banks shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, undertake a Revolving Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Bank is already a Revolving Bank, such newly undertaken Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to such Revolving Bank’s existing Revolving Commitment hereunder on such date).
(e)    Effect of Extension.  Effective as of the Extension Date, the Revolving Termination Date of each of the Revolving Banks that have agreed to extend their Revolving Termination Date and of each Additional Commitment Bank shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Revolving Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Revolving Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Bank shall thereupon become a “Revolving Bank” for all purposes of this Credit Agreement; provided that there shall be no change in the Revolving Termination Date of any Non-Extending Bank and on such Revolving Termination Date of any Non-Extending Bank, such Non-Extending Bank’s outstanding Revolving Loans shall be paid in full together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid fees due it hereunder and such Non-Extending Bank’s obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall terminate.
(f)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Revolving Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Revolving Bank unless:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;
(ii)    the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the other Credit Documents and which are contained in any certificate furnished at any time under or in connection herewith are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Date as if made on and as of such date (except (x) for those which expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date, and (y) to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects); and
(iii)    to the extent the Revolving Commitments of any Non-Extending Bank shall not be replaced with Revolving Commitments from one or more Additional Commitment Banks on the applicable Extension Date as provided for in Section 2.11(d), and thus there shall be no change in the applicable Revolving Termination Date for such Non-Extending Bank, it is understood and agreed that (x) the Borrowers shall repay Revolving Loans outstanding on the applicable Revolving Termination Date of any such Non-Extending Bank (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.12) to the extent necessary to repay, nonratably, the Revolving Loans of all Non-Extending Banks and the pro rata shares of the remaining Revolving Banks shall be revised effective as of such date, (y) on such applicable Revolving Termination Date, the Revolving Commitments (and, if applicable, any LOC Commitment) of the Non-Extending Banks will be permanently terminated and the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount on and after such date will be equal to the Revolving Commitments of the remaining Revolving Banks (and, if applicable, the LOC Committed Amount on and after such date will be equal to the LOC Commitments of the remaining Revolving Banks that are Issuing Banks) and (z) to the extent that the outstanding Revolving Obligations as of such date (after giving effect to the repayment in full of each such Non-Extending Bank) exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount then in effect (after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Commitments of all Non-Extending Banks), the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(g)    Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.14 and Section 11.6 to the contrary.

2.12    Additional Borrowers.
(a)    Additional Foreign Borrowers.  The Borrower Representative may request that any of its Foreign Subsidiaries (each, an “Applicant Foreign Borrower”) be designated a Foreign Borrower under the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount by delivery of a written request to the Administrative Agent therefor.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Banks of any such request.  Designation of any Applicant Foreign Borrower as a Foreign Borrower under the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount is subject to (i) delivery of an executed Note by such Applicant Foreign Borrower as may be requested by any Revolving Bank in connection therewith, (ii) delivery of supporting resolutions, articles of incorporation and bylaws (or their equivalents), incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and such other items as the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Banks, as applicable, may request (including all documentation and other information requested in order to comply with applicable law, including without limitation “know your customer” due diligence), (iii) delivery of an executed Foreign Borrower Joinder Agreement, (iv) consent from each Revolving Bank and (v) execution of an amendment to this Credit Agreement to incorporate country specific and other items reasonably necessary to include such Applicant Foreign Borrower, such amendment to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Banks and the Borrowers.  Each Revolving Bank shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days from the date which such Revolving Bank received notice from the Administrative Agent of the Borrower Representative’s request to designate an Applicant Foreign Borrower as a Foreign Borrower, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Revolving Bank consents to such designation pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(iv).  Any Revolving Bank that determines not to consent to the designation of such Applicant Foreign Borrower as a Foreign Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination and any Revolving Bank not responding within such fifteen (15)-Business Day period shall be deemed to have determined not to so consent.
(b)    Additional U.S. Borrowers.  The Borrower Representative may request that Byram be designated a U.S. Borrower by delivery of a written request to the Administrative Agent therefor.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such request.  Designation of Byram as a U.S. Borrower shall be subject to (i) delivery of an executed Note (or joinder to any existing Note) by Byram as may be requested by any Revolving Bank in connection therewith, (ii) delivery of supporting resolutions, articles of incorporation and bylaws (or their equivalents), incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and such other items as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Revolving Bank, as applicable, may request (including all documentation and other information requested in order to comply with applicable law, including without limitation “know your customer” due diligence), and (iii) delivery of such joinder documentation as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

Each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Bank and each Bank at its option may make any Extension of Credit or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Applicable Lending Office (each, a “Designated Bank”); provided that (a) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay any Extension of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.  Any Designated Bank shall be considered a Bank; provided that in the case of an Affiliate or branch of a Bank, all provisions applicable to a Bank shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of such Bank to the same extent as such Bank; provided, further, that for the purposes only of voting in connection with any Credit Document, any participation by any Designated Bank in any outstanding Extension of Credit shall be deemed a participation of such Bank.

(vi)    the Refinancing Term Loans made under any Refinancing Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment as the other Loans hereunder, a U.S. Borrower shall be the borrower of such Refinancing Term Loans, and there shall be no guarantors in respect of any Refinancing Facility that are not Guarantors; 
(vii)    any Refinancing Term Loans shall share ratably in any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.4, so long as such prepayments were applicable to the Loans being refinanced (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for prepayments of any then-outstanding Term Loans, any then-outstanding Refinancing Term Loans and any then-outstanding Incremental Term Loans);
(viii)    subject to clauses (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above, all other terms and conditions applicable to each Refinancing Facility, taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative in good faith) to the lender or lenders providing such Refinancing Facility than the applicable terms and conditions, taken as a whole, of the Loans being refinanced; provided that notwithstanding the requirements of this clause (viii), such Refinancing Facility may have (A) covenants (including financial covenants) or other provisions not applicable to the Loans being refinanced, so long as such covenants or other provisions are (1) applicable only to periods after the Latest Termination Date, or (2) added for the benefit of the Agents and the Banks under this Credit Agreement at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Facility, and (B) to the extent required by the lenders providing such Refinancing Facility, customary “MFN” protection and call protection, in each case, which may be applicable solely with respect to such Refinancing Facility;

(d)    the Borrower Representative (in consultation and coordination with the Term B Facility Agent) shall obtain commitments for the amount of such increase from existing Banks or other Persons that are Eligible Assignees selected by the Borrower Representative (other than the Parent, any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower) and reasonably acceptable to the Term B Facility Agent;
(e)    (i) any new Bank shall join this Credit Agreement by executing such joinder documents as are required by the Administrative Agent and/or the Term B Facility Agent and/or (ii) any existing Bank electing to increase its Term B Commitment shall have executed a commitment agreement satisfactory to the Term B Facility Agent;

Such amendment shall be executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Term B Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Credit Parties and each Bank and Eligible Assignee providing such increase (and related Term B Loans) without the consent of any other party.

SECTION 3     
 
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDIT FACILITY

3.1    Default Rate.
(a)    If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(b)    If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable under any Credit Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Banks, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(c)    Upon the request of the Required Banks, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(d)    Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

3.2    Conversion.
The Borrower Representative shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Eurocurrency Rate Loans into a subsequent Interest Period or to convert Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of one type into Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of another type; provided, however, that (i) except as provided in Section 3.7, Eurocurrency Rate Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) Eurocurrency Rate Loans may be extended, and Base Rate Loans may be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, only if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of extension or conversion, (iii) Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans extended as, or converted into, Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in such minimum amounts as provided in Section 2.2(b), and (iv) any request for extension of or conversion to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month.  Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrower Representative by giving written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Applicable Agent in the form of Schedule 3.2 (a “Notice of Extension/Conversion”) prior to 10:00 a.m. on (x) the same Business Day of, in the case of Base Rate Loans, (y) on the third Business Day prior to, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or (z) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies prior to, the date of the proposed extension or conversion, specifying the date of the proposed extension or conversion, the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans to be so extended or converted, the types of Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans into which such Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate, the currency and the applicable Interest Periods with respect thereto.  Each request for extension or conversion to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be deemed to be a reaffirmation by the Borrower Representative that no Default or Event of Default then exists.  In the event the Borrower Representative fails to request extension of or conversion to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan in accordance with this Section, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Section, then such Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of their Interest Period; provided that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  The Applicable Agent shall give each Bank notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion affecting any Revolving Loans, Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans.  No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

3.3    Termination of Commitments.
(a)    The Borrower Representative may from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum principal amounts of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that after giving effect to any voluntary reduction, the aggregate amount of Revolving Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, as reduced.  The Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Bank shall be reduced by such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such reduction amount.  All fees in respect of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount accrued until the effective date of any reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.
(b)    The aggregate Term A-1 Commitments were automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Term A-1 Facility Funding Date.
(c)    The aggregate Term A-2 Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon the Borrowing of the Term A-2 Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(ii) on the Second Amendment Effective Date.
(d)    The aggregate Term B Commitments in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon the Borrowing of Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(iii)(A) on the Second Amendment Effective Date.  The aggregate amount of any increased Term B Commitments in accordance with Section 2.15 shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon the Borrowing of Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(iii)(B) on the Term B Facility Increase Effective Date.

3.4    Prepayments.
(a)    Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time without premium or penalty (except, with respect to the Term B Loans, any premium required by Section 3.4(c)); provided that (i) Eurocurrency Rate Loans may only be prepaid (A) on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (B) on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto if the Borrowers pay to the applicable Banks any amounts due under Section 3.12, (ii) each such partial prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the amount then outstanding, if less), and (iii) the Borrower Representative will provide notice to the Applicable Agent of any voluntary prepayment by 10:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment.  Amounts prepaid on the Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to the Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro rata basis.  Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower Representative, prepayments on the Revolving Obligations shall be applied first to Daily LIBOR Swingline Loans, then to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Periods.
(b)    Mandatory Prepayments.  
(i)    Revolving Obligations.  If at any time (A) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Obligations shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, (B) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans shall exceed the Swingline Committed Amount, (C) the aggregate principal amount of LOC Obligations shall exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (D) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative that the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then in any such instance, the Borrowers shall immediately make payment on the Revolving Loans and/or to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate the difference; provided that the Borrowers may, with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above, utilize a borrowing of Revolving Loans to the extent the conditions of Section 5.2 are satisfied for such payment or cash collateral if the incurrence of such Revolving Loans would not cause the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Obligations to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.
(ii)    Asset Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions.  Promptly upon receipt by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Disposition (other than any Permitted Asset Swap or any Asset Disposition consummated in reliance on Section 8.5(a) or Section 8.5(b)) or any Involuntary Disposition, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans and any then-existing Incremental Term Loans as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied (A) until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds derived from all such Asset Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions in any fiscal year is equal to or greater than $10,000,000, and (B) if, at the election of the Borrower Representative (as notified by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent and the Term B Facility Agent), such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested in assets (other than current assets) that are used or useful in the business of the members of the Consolidated Group within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Disposition or Involuntary Disposition, or are contractually committed to be applied to purchase such assets within such one-hundred eighty (180) day period and are so applied within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of such one-hundred eighty (180) day period; provided, further, if such Net Cash Proceeds shall have not been so reinvested by the end of such period, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be immediately applied to prepay the Term Loans and any then-existing Incremental Term Loans.  Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below.
(iii)    Debt Issuance.  Promptly upon the receipt by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans and any then-existing Incremental Term Loans as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds.  Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below.
(iv)    Application.  Each prepayment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.4(b)(ii) and (iii) shall be applied to the Term Loans and any then-existing Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis and to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro rata basis.  Such prepayments shall be paid to the Banks in accordance with their respective Term Commitment Percentages and/or Incremental Term Commitment Percentages.
(v)    Refinancing Term Loans.  Promptly upon the receipt by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of the proceeds of any Refinancing Term Loans, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans being refinanced in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds.
(vi)    Excess Cash Flow.  On each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term B Loans as hereinafter provided in this Section 3.4(b)(vi) in an aggregate amount equal to the total of (A) the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the most recently ended Excess Cash Flow Period, minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, in each case made pursuant to Section 3.4(a) during such Excess Cash Flow Period (to the extent such voluntary prepayments were not funded with proceeds from the incurrence of long-term indebtedness), plus (2) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 3.4(a) during such Excess Cash Flow Period (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments therefor, and to the extent such voluntary prepayments were not funded with proceeds from the incurrence of long-term indebtedness).  Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.4(b)(vi) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments of the Term B Loans on a pro rata basis.  Such prepayments shall be paid to the Banks in accordance with their respective Term B Commitment Percentages.
(c)    Repricing Event.  Each prepayment of Term B Loans made in connection with a Repricing Event on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term B Loans being repaid in connection with such Repricing Event.

3.5    Fees.
(a)    Unused Fee.  In consideration of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Banks a fee (the “Unused Fee”), in Dollars, for the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily unused amount of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount for the applicable period.  The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof) beginning with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the Revolving Termination Date.  For purposes of computation of the Unused Fee, (i) LOC Obligations shall be counted toward and considered usage of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) Swingline Loans shall not be counted toward nor considered usage of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.

3.6    Capital Adequacy.
If any Bank or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or such Issuing Bank or any Applicable Lending Office of such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s parent company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s (including, for purposes hereof, the parent company of such Bank or such Issuing Bank) capital or assets as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s parent company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity and such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s parent company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the U.S. Borrowers will pay to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s parent company for any such reduction suffered.
A certificate of a Bank or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank or its parent company, as the case may be, as specified above and delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The U.S. Borrowers shall pay such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.  Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the U.S. Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Bank or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred twenty (120) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.7    Limitation on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a)    Unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with clause (c) below, if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), (i) the Applicable Agent determines that (A)  deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (i), “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Applicable Agent or the Required Banks determine that for any reason Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, the Applicable Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Bank.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Applicable Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars in the amount specified therein.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with clause (c) below, if the Applicable Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) above, the Applicable Agent in consultation with the Borrower Representative and the Required Banks, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (i) the Applicable Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a)(i) above, (ii) the Applicable Agent or the Required Banks notify the Applicable Agent and the Borrower Representative that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of funding the Impacted Loans, or (iii) any Bank determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Bank to do any of the foregoing and provides the Applicable Agent and the Borrower Representative written notice thereof.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.7(a) or (b) above, if the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in clause (a)(i) above have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall not longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, and as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it (and the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable) is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement rate of interest (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Credit Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 3.7(a)(i), (c)(i), (c)(ii) or (c)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, (or the Required Banks through the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable) notifies the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Banks of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate.  In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Term B Facility Agent, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Term B Facility Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.7(c).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, Section 11.6), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent and the Term B Facility Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Banks, written notices from such Banks that in the aggregate constitute Required Banks, with each such notice stating that such Bank objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Bank objects).  To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent and the Term B Facility Agent in connection with this clause (c), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent or the Term B Facility Agent, as applicable, shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Banks).

3.8    Illegality.
If any Bank determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Extension of Credit or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Bank to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Bank to the Borrower Representative through the Applicable Agent, (a) any obligation of such Bank to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Extension of Credit or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Bank making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Bank notifies the Applicable Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) each Borrower shall, upon demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loans of such Bank to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loans, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Bank determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate the Applicable Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Bank without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Applicable Agent is advised in writing by such Bank that it is no longer illegal for such Bank to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the U.S. Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.9    Requirements of Law.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than Taxes) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Bank or any Issuing Bank;
(ii)    subject any Recipient 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, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Bank or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the U.S. Borrowers will pay to such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Mandatory Costs.  If any Bank or any Issuing Bank incurs any Mandatory Costs attributable to the Obligations, then from time to time the U.S. Borrowers will pay to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Mandatory Costs.  Such amount shall be expressed as a percentage rate per annum and shall be payable on the full amount of the applicable Obligations.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Bank or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) above and delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The U.S. Borrowers shall pay such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  The U.S. Borrowers shall pay to each Bank, (i) as long as such Bank shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Bank shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Bank (as determined by such Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Representative shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Applicable Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Bank.  If a Bank fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.
(e)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the U.S. Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Bank or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred twenty (120) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.10    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.
(a)    Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office.  If any Bank requests compensation under Section 3.6 or Section 3.9, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank, any Issuing Bank, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.11, or if any Bank gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.8, then at the request of the Borrower Representative, such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank or such Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6, Section 3.9 or Section 3.11, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.8, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.  The U.S. Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Banks.  If any Bank requests compensation under Section 3.6 or Section 3.9, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 3.11 and, in each case, such Bank has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Borrower Representative may replace such Bank in accordance with Section 11.18.
(c)    Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment in full in cash of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of any Agent.

3.11    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.11) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.  
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws any Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnification.
(i)    Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above or duplicating the payments to be made thereunder, the Credit Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection (c)) withheld or deducted from a payment to, or paid by, 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.  Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made within ten (10) days after the date the party entitled to indemnification makes a demand therefor.  The Credit Parties shall also, and do hereby, indemnify the Applicable Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Bank or an Issuing Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Applicable Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Bank or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), or by the Applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)    Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Bank and each Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Applicable Agent for (A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Applicable Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (B) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.3(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Applicable Agent in connection with any Credit 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.  Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made within ten (10) days after the date the party entitled to indemnification makes a demand therefor (which demand shall include a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and such party’s calculation of the claim).  Each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Applicable Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Applicable Agent under this clause (ii).  The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Applicable Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d)    Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by any Credit Party or the Applicable Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Credit Party or by the Applicable Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.11, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Applicable Agent or the Applicable Agent shall deliver to such Credit Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Credit Party or the Applicable Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Banks; Tax Documentation.  
(i)    Each Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.11(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
(A)    any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; and
(B)    each Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I)    in the case of a Foreign Bank 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 Credit Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or 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 Credit Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or 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,
(II)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(III)    in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Schedule 3.11-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3)(B) or section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or
(IV)    to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Schedule 3.11-2 or Schedule 3.11-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and/or other supporting documentation from each beneficial owner, as applicable (including, without limitation, if the Foreign Bank is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, required supporting documentation with respect to such Foreign Bank’s direct and indirect partners that are claiming the portfolio interest exemption); provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Schedule 3.11-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,
(C)    each Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws or otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent to permit the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, and
(D)    if a payment made to a Bank under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Applicable Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
(iii)    Each Bank 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 Representative and the Applicable Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Applicable Agent or any Bank, as the Applicable Agent or such Bank shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Bank or the Applicable Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Applicable Agent or any Bank of Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Credit Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Bank or any Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Bank or any Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent, the Term B Facility Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes (whether received in cash or as an overpayment applied by such Applicable Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank to offset an amount of Tax otherwise due and payable) as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11, it shall pay to such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 3.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Applicable Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Credit Party, upon the request of such Applicable Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Applicable Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank in the event such Applicable Agent, such Bank or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will a Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient 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 subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Term B Facility Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower Representative or any other Person. 
(g)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Applicable Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Credit Document.
(h)    Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 3.11, the term “applicable Laws” includes FATCA, and the term “Bank” shall include each Issuing Bank.

3.12    Compensation.
Upon demand of any Bank (with a copy to the Applicable Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Bank for and hold such Bank harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(b)    any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Bank to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Daily LIBOR Swingline Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower Representative; or
(c)    any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or
(d)    the assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 11.18;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits).  The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Bank in connection with the foregoing.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Banks under this Section 3.12, each Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore Dollar interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.13    Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(a)    Loans and Letters of Credit.  Each Revolving Loan, Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan advance, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Loan, any Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loan or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of interest on the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of Unused Fees, each payment of the Standby Letter of Credit Fee, each reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, and each conversion or extension of any Revolving Loan, any Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks in accordance with the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, Term Commitment Percentages and/or Incremental Term Commitment Percentages, as applicable.
(b)    Advances.
(i)    No Bank shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Bank in its obligation to make its ratable share of a borrowing hereunder, except for adjustments provided in Section 3.18(a)(iv) to the Revolving Commitment Percentage of each Bank that is not a Defaulting Bank; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder.
(ii)    Unless any Borrower or any Bank has notified the Applicable Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Applicable Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto.  If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Applicable Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(A)    if the Borrowers failed to make such payment, each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Applicable Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Bank in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Applicable Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable Agent in Same Day Funds, at the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(B)    if any Bank failed to make such payment, such Bank shall forthwith on demand pay to the Applicable Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Applicable Agent to the Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Applicable Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  If such Bank does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Applicable Agent’s demand therefor, the Applicable Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower Representative, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Applicable Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent, the Term B Facility Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.  A notice of the Applicable Agent to any Bank with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

3.14    Sharing of Payments.
The Banks agree among themselves that, in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, LOC Obligations or any other obligation owing to such Bank under this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Bank under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Credit Agreement, such Bank shall promptly purchase from the other Banks a participation interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Banks share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement.  The Banks further agree among themselves that if payment to a Bank obtained by such Bank through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Bank which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a participation interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Bank whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored.  The Borrowers agree that any Bank so purchasing such a participation interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation interest as fully as if such Bank were a holder of such Loans, LOC Obligations or other obligation in the amount of such participation interest.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if any Bank or any Agent shall fail to remit to any other Agent or any other Bank an amount payable by such Bank or such Agent to such other Agent or such other Bank pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to such other Agent or such other Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate.  If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14 applies, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

3.15    Payments, Computations, Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Percentage, Etc..
(a)    Generally.  All payments hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall be made by the Borrowers without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff of any kind.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein and except with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments made by a Credit Party hereunder shall be made to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the respective Banks to which such payment is owed, in Dollars in Same Day Funds, at the Applicable Agent’s Office specified in Section 11.1.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Banks to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Applicable Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement be made in the United States.  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  All payments shall be received by the Applicable Agent not later than (i) 2:00 p.m. on the date when due in the case of payments in Dollars and (ii) the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the date when due in the case of payments in Alternative Currencies.  Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.  The Applicable Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party maintained with the Applicable Agent (with notice to the Borrower Representative or such other Credit Party).  The Borrowers shall, at the time it makes any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Applicable Agent the Loans, LOC Obligations, fees, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails so to specify, or if such application would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Applicable Agent shall distribute such payment to the Banks in such manner as the Applicable Agent may determine to be appropriate in respect of obligations owing by the Borrowers hereunder, subject to the terms of Section 3.13(a)).  The Applicable Agent will distribute such payments to such Banks, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Applicable Agent will distribute such payment to such Banks on the next succeeding Business Day.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day.  Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.
(b)    Allocation of Payments After Event of Default.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon the exercise of remedies in accordance with Section 9.2, all amounts collected or received on or in respect of the Obligations (or other amounts owing under the Credit Documents or other documentation in respect of the Obligations in connection therewith) shall be paid over or delivered as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agents in connection with enforcing the rights and remedies of the Banks under the Credit Documents made with respect thereto, in each case ratably among the Agents in proportion to the respective amounts in this clause “FIRST” held by them;
SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to any Agent in its capacity as such under the Credit Documents, in each case ratably among the Agents in proportion to the respective amounts in this clause “SECOND” held by them;
THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Banks hereunder in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Bank;
FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued interest and fees on or in respect of the Obligations;
FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations hereunder (including the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations), all Obligations under any Secured Swap Contract, all Obligations under any Secured Treasury Management Agreement, and all Bilateral Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case ratably among the respective parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause “FIFTH” held by them;
SIXTH, to all other Obligations hereunder and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and
SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrower Representative.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; and (ii) except as otherwise provided, the Banks (and Affiliates thereof) shall receive amounts ratably in accordance with their respective pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Obligations held by such Banks (and Affiliates thereof) bears to the aggregate amount of the Obligations then outstanding) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 3.15(b).  Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Credit Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Credit Party or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts and Bilateral Letter of Credit Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Collateral Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Collateral Agent may request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank, Swap Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank, as the case may be.  Each Treasury Management Bank, Swap Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank not a party to this Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 10 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Bank” party hereto.
(c)    Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Percentage.  If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Parent or for any other reason, the Borrower Representative or the Banks determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent as of any applicable date was inaccurate at the time so calculated and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Applicable Agent for the account of the applicable Banks or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Applicable Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Applicable Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of any Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under Section 2.6(a)(iii), 2.6(f) or 3.1 or under Section 9.  The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

3.16    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    Each Bank shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Bank to the Borrowers from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time under this Credit Agreement.  Each Bank will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts and to promptly update its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary.
(b)    The Applicable Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.3(c), and a subaccount for each Bank, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest Period of each such Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Applicable Agent hereunder from or for the account of any Credit Party and each Bank’s share thereof.  The Applicable Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to promptly update such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary.
(c)    The entries made in the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.16 (and, if consistent with the entries of the Applicable Agent, subsection (a)) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Credit Parties therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank or the Applicable Agent to maintain any such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Credit Parties to repay the Obligations and other amounts owing to such Bank.

3.17    Certain Limitations.
If any Bank requests compensation or indemnification from the Borrowers under Section 3.6, 3.9 or 3.11, then such Bank will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

3.18    Defaulting Banks.
(a)    Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments.  That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.6.
(ii)    Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by an Agent for the account of that Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to any Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 11.2), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agents as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to the applicable Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, or if requested by any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Bank of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Bank to fund Loans under this Credit Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LOC Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LOC Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LOC Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LOC Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Bank.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees.  That Defaulting Bank (x) shall not be entitled to receive any unused fee pursuant to Section 3.5(a) for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Standby Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.6(f).
(iv)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which there is a Defaulting Bank, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.4, 2.6 or 2.7, the “Revolving Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Bank shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Bank; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Bank minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Bank.  Subject to Section 11.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such non-Defaulting Bank’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(b)    Defaulting Bank Cure.  If the Borrower Representative, each Agent, the Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agents may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 3.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 11.22, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

3.19    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events.  
(i)    Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank (A) if such Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LOC Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LOC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all LOC Obligations.
(ii)    At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank).
(iii)    If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all LOC Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all LOC Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.
(b)    Grant of Security Interest.  All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Wells Fargo Bank.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Bank, such Bank, hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks (including the Swingline Bank), and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.19(c).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)    Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 3.19 or Sections 2.1, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 3.18 or 9.2 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LOC Obligations, Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d)    Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.3(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 3.19 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.2), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

3.20    Plan Assets.
(a)    Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date or the later date such Person became a Bank party hereto, as applicable, to, and (y) covenants, from the Second Amendment Effective Date or the later date such Person became a Bank party hereto, as applicable, to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, each Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: 
(i)     such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

(iii)     (A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement, or
(iv)     such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Applicable Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Bank.
(b)     In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or such Bank has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date or the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, as applicable, to, and (y) covenants, from the Second Amendment Effective Date or the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, as applicable, to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, each Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, that:

(ii)     the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Bank with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least $50,000,000, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E),
(iii)     the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Bank with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Credit Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the Obligations),

(v)    no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent, the Term B Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4     
 
GUARANTY

4.1    The Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Guaranteed Party, as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof.  The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, in any Secured Swap Contracts, in any Secured Treasury Management Agreements or in any Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit, the obligations of each Guarantor (other than the Parent) under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents or in any Secured Swap Contracts, Obligations of a Credit Party shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Credit Party.

4.2    Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Swap Contracts, any Secured Treasury Management Agreements or any Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment, non-perfection or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Section 4 until such time as the Banks (or any other Swap Banks, Treasury Management Banks or Bilateral Letter of Credit Banks) have been paid in full in respect of all Obligations, the Aggregate Commitments have been terminated and no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Banks (or any other Swap Banks, Treasury Management Banks or Bilateral Letter of Credit Banks) in connection with monies received under the Credit Documents, the Secured Swap Contracts, the Secured Treasury Management Agreements or the Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit between any member of the Consolidated Group and any Bank (or any other Swap Bank, Treasury Management Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Swap Contracts, any Secured Treasury Management Agreements or any Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit between any member of the Consolidated Group and any Bank (or any other Swap Bank, Treasury Management Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank), or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents, the Secured Swap Contracts, the Secured Treasury Management Agreements or the Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit shall be done or omitted;

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Guaranteed Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents or any other document relating to the Obligations, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.3    Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 4 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Guaranteed Party, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Guaranteed Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

4.4    Certain Additional Waivers.
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.6.

4.5    Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Guaranteed Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2) for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1.

4.6    Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment.  The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.6 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full to the Guaranteed Parties, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 4.6 against any other Guarantor until payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and termination of the Aggregate Commitments.  For purposes of this Section 4.6, (a) “Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean any obligations arising under the other provisions of this Section 4; (b) “Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of all of the Credit Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder) of the Credit Parties; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Pro Rata Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment; and (d) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties) of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment.  This Section 4.6 shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrowers in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.4.

4.7    Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.
The guarantee in this Section 4 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

4.8    Keepwell.
Each Credit Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time this Section 4 by any Specified Credit Party becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Credit Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Credit Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 4 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 4.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  Each Credit Party intends this Section 4.8 to constitute, and this Section 4.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(a)    Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the other Credit Documents and which are contained in any certificate furnished at any time under or in connection herewith shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Extension of Credit as if made on and as of such date (except (i) for those which expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and (ii) to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects).
(b)    No Default or Event of Default.  No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date or after giving effect to the Extension of Credit to be made on such date.
(c)    Alternative Currencies.

(d)    Request for Extension of Credit.  The Applicable Agent and, if applicable, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, shall have received a Notice of Loan Borrowing, a Notice of Swingline Loan Borrowing or a Letter of Credit Application, as applicable, in accordance with the requirements hereof.

Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank or such Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

Each Agent may, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall, at the request of the Borrower Representative, at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks (or, with respect to the resignation of the Term B Facility Agent, the Required Term B Banks) shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, and which shall be a U.S. Person.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks (or, with respect to the resignation of the Term B Facility Agent, the Required Term B Banks) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if an Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Banks or any Issuing Bank under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks (or, with respect to the resignation of the Term B Facility Agent, the Required Term B Banks) appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Representative and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.
Any resignation by Wells Fargo Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as the Swingline Bank.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Bank, and (ii) the retiring Swingline Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents.

10.7    Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks.

10.9    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LOC Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LOC Obligations and all other Obligations arising under the Credit Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks, the Issuing Banks, the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks, the Issuing Banks, and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks, the Issuing Banks, and the Agents under Sections 2.6(f) and (g), 3.5 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by the Collateral Agent, the Term B Facility Agent, each Bank and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Collateral Agent, the Term B Facility Agent, the Banks and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5 and 11.5.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or any Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Banks, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (i) 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 Credit Party is subject, (ii) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would 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) in 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).  In connection with any such bid (A) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Collateral Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Banks, irrespective of the termination of this Credit Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Banks contained in Section 11.6), and (C) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Banks pro rata and the Capital Stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. 

10.10    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
Each of the Banks (including in its capacity as a potential Treasury Management Bank, a potential Swap Bank or a potential Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank) and each of the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize:
(a)     the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(i)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (A) upon the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under the Credit Documents in full, and the termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Banks in accordance with Section 11.6; and 
(ii)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (g) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”; and
(b)    the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under Section 4 (and release any Lien on any property of such Guarantor that is granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, or if the Borrower Representative requests the release of any Guarantor so long as after giving effect to such release the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries shall not, as a group, exceed any Threshold Requirement. 
Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, at any time, the Required Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under Section 4 pursuant to this Section 10.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 10.10, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under Section 4, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 10.10.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Banks for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

10.11    Secured Treasury Management Agreements, Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Treasury Management Bank, Swap Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 3.15(b), Section 4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of Section 4 or any Collateral Document) other than in its capacity as a Bank and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10 to the contrary, no Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts or Bilateral Letter of Credit Obligations except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Collateral Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Collateral Agent may request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank, Swap Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank, as the case may be.  No Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contract or Bilateral Letter of Credit Obligations in the case of the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under the Credit Documents in full, and the termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(B)    In any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Applicable Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, or $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Facility or any Incremental Term Facility, in each case unless each of the Applicable Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s Loans and Commitments, and rights and obligations with respect thereto, assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swingline Bank’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans or (B) prohibit any Bank from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of its Commitments (and the related Loans thereunder) on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Applicable Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further that the Borrower Representative’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Term B Facility;
(B)    the consent of the Applicable Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any unfunded Term Commitment or any Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Bank with a Commitment in respect of the applicable facility, an Affiliate of such Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to such Bank, or (2) any Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loan to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund; 
(C)    the consent of each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D)    the consent of the Swingline Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Applicable Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Applicable Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Applicable Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower, the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).
(vi)    Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Applicable Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Applicable Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Applicable Agent or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Applicable Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.8, 3.11, 3.12, 11.5 and 11.9 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank.  Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
(c)    Register.  The Applicable Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Applicable Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and LOC Obligations owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Applicable Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  In addition, the Applicable Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Bank as a Defaulting Bank.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations.  Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower Representative or the Applicable Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person) or any Borrower, the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Bank’s participations in LOC Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the other Banks and the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.6(a) that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.2 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.14 as though it were a Bank.  Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Agent (in its capacity as an Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)    Limitation on Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, 3.9, 3.11 or 3.12 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
(f)    Certain Pledges.  Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.
(g)    Resignation as Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank after Assignment.  
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo Bank assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Wells Fargo Bank may, upon sixty (60) days’ notice to the Borrower Representative, resign as the Swingline Bank.  In the event of any such resignation as the Swingline Bank, the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to appoint from among the Banks a successor Swingline Bank hereunder; provided, however, that (x) no Bank shall be required to become the Swingline Bank without such Bank’s consent, and (y) no failure by the Borrower Representative to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo Bank as the Swingline Bank.  If Wells Fargo Bank resigns as the Swingline Bank, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Bank provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Revolving Banks to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.7.  Upon the appointment of a successor Swingline Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Bank.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Bank that is an Issuing Bank assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower Representative and the Banks, resign as an Issuing Bank.  In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Banks a successor Issuing Bank or hereunder; provided, however, that (x) no Revolving Bank shall be required to become an Issuing Bank without such Revolving Bank’s consent, and (y) no failure by the Borrower Representative to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Bank as an Issuing Bank.  If a Bank resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all LOC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Banks to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.6(a)).  Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and (B) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Bank to effectively assume the obligations of such Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(h)    Disqualified Institutions.  
(i)    No assignment shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Bank entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower Representative has consented to such assignment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 11.3, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment).  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), such assignee shall not retroactively be considered a Disqualified Institution.  Any assignment in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.
(ii)    If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower Representative’s prior consent in violation of clause (h)(i) above, the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Applicable Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, prepay such Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans and/or such Incremental Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.3), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Credit Documents; provided that (1) the Borrower Representative shall have paid to the Applicable Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.3(b), (2) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws and (3) in the case of clause (B) above, no Borrower shall use the proceeds from any Loans to prepay Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to the Banks by the Credit Parties, any Agent or any other Bank, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Banks and/or any Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Banks or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of any Agent or the Banks and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to any Agent or any Bank to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Banks that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).
(iv)    The Administrative Agent and the Term B Facility Agent shall each have the right, and the Credit Parties hereby expressly authorize each such Agent, to (A) post the DQ List on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Banks, or (B) provide the DQ List to each Bank requesting the same.

11.4    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of the any Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Agent or any Bank and any of the Credit Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Agent or any Bank would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle the Credit Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agents or the Banks to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

11.5    Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.
(a)    Costs and Expenses.  The Credit Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent, Bank of America (in its capacity as an Arranger) and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for each Agent, Bank of America (in its capacity as an Arranger) and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable documented fees, charges and legal expenses incurred in connection with the execution, delivery and administration of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of any of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), any enforcement, investigation, litigation, proceeding, or preparation of a defense in connection therewith by one external counsel to all such parties taken as a whole, and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional external counsel to the affected parties taken as a whole (and, if necessary, of one local counsel representing all such parties in any jurisdiction)), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any one counsel for any Agent, any Bank and any Issuing Bank and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional external counsel to the affected parties taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel representing all such parties in any jurisdiction), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any Agent, any Bank or any Issuing Bank, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(c)    Reimbursement by Banks.  To the extent that the Credit Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Term B Facility Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Term B Facility Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Term B Facility Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Term B Facility Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agents or the Banks hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent such other Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the security interests granted under this Agreement shall not extend to, and the defined term Collateral shall not include, Excluded Property.
The Obligors and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest created hereby in the Collateral (i) constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and (ii) is not and shall not be construed as an assignment of any Copyrights, Copyright Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Trademarks or Trademark Licenses.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby specifically understood and agreed that an Obligor may from time to time hereafter deliver additional Capital Stock to the Collateral Agent as collateral security for the Secured Obligations.  Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, such additional Capital Stock shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Equity of such Obligor and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement whether or not Schedule 1(b) is amended to refer to such additional Capital Stock.
3.Representations and Warranties.  Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

(b)Security Interest/Priority.  This Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral of such Obligor and, when properly perfected by filing of a UCC financing statement, shall constitute a valid and perfected, first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) security interest in such Collateral (including all uncertificated Pledged Equity owned by such Obligor consisting of partnership or limited liability company interests that do not constitute Securities), 

to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens.  The taking of possession by the Collateral Agent of the certificated securities (if any) evidencing the Pledged Equity owned by such Obligor and all other Instruments, Documents, Tangible Chattel Paper or Money constituting Collateral of such Obligor will perfect and establish the first priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in all the Pledged Equity evidenced by such certificated securities and such Instruments, Documents, Tangible Chattel Paper and Money.
(c)Types of Collateral.  None of the Collateral of such Obligor consists of, or is the Accessions or Proceeds of, As-Extracted Collateral, Consumer Goods, Farm Products, Manufactured Homes, or standing timber.

With respect to any Equipment and/or Inventory of such Obligor, such Obligor has exclusive possession and control of such Equipment and Inventory except for (i) Equipment and Inventory located at locations leased by such Obligor, (ii) Inventory on consignment, (iii) Equipment leased by such Obligor as a lessee, or (iv) Equipment or Inventory in transit with common carriers.

Subject to the proviso to Section 2(f) of the Second Amendment, all such certificated securities, Instruments, Documents and Tangible Chattel Paper required to be delivered have been, or substantially simultaneously with the occurrence of the Second Amendment Effective Date, are being, delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(i)Contracts; Agreements; Licenses.  Such Obligor has no contracts, agreements or licenses relating to material Intellectual Property that constitutes Collateral which are non-assignable by their terms, or as a matter of law, or which prevent the granting of a security interest therein.
(j)Mergers, etc.  As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, except as set forth on Schedule 3(j), such Obligor has not been party to a merger, consolidation or other change in structure or used any tradename in the prior four months.
(k)Consents, etc.  There are no restrictions in such Obligor’s organizational documents governing any Pledged Equity owned by such Obligor or any other document related thereto which would limit or restrict (i) the grant of a Lien pursuant to this Agreement on such Pledged Equity, (ii) the perfection of such Lien, or (iii) the exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected Lien in such Pledged Equity as contemplated by this Agreement.  Except for (A) the filing or recording of UCC financing statements, (B) the filing of appropriate notices with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, (C) obtaining control to perfect the Liens created by this Agreement (to the extent required under Section 4(a)), (D) such actions as may be required by Laws affecting the offering and sale of securities, (E) such actions as may be required by applicable foreign Laws affecting the pledge of the Pledged Equity owned by such Obligor in any Foreign Subsidiaries, and (F) consents, authorizations, filings or other actions which have been obtained

(m)Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks.
(i)To the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of such Obligor, each Copyright, Patent and Trademark of such Obligor constituting Collateral is valid, subsisting, unexpired, enforceable and has not been abandoned, except where the failure to do so or the abandonment thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ii)To the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of such Obligor, no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority that would limit, cancel or question the validity of any Copyright, Patent or Trademark of such Obligor constituting Collateral, except where such holding, decision or judgment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii)No action or proceeding is pending seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any Copyright, Patent or Trademark of such Obligor constituting Collateral, and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of any material Copyright, Patent or Trademark of such Obligor constituting Collateral.
(iv)All applications pertaining to the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks of such Obligor constituting Collateral have been duly and properly filed, and all registrations or letters pertaining to such Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks have been duly and properly filed and issued, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.Covenants.  Each Obligor covenants that until the Facility Termination Date, such Obligor shall:

(g)Issuance or Acquisition of Capital Stock in Partnerships or Limited Liability Companies.  Not without executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the Collateral Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, issue or acquire any Pledged Equity consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an Investment Company Security, (iv) is held in a Securities Account, or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

6.Advances.  On failure of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein or in any other Credit Document, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Collateral Agent to the Borrower Representative, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Collateral Agent may make for the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of Law.  All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely written notice thereof and demand therefor (together with reasonably detailed backup documentation supporting such demand for reimbursement), shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate.  No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Collateral Agent on behalf of any Obligor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any Default or Event of Default.  The Collateral Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.
7.Remedies.
(a)General Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Credit Documents, in any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by Law (including, but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC 

applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Collateral Agent may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged Equity, shall be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof), at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for Money, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements).  Each Obligor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and, in the case of a sale of Pledged Equity, that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933.  Neither the Collateral Agent’s compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale.  To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (A) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (B) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any Secured Party may be a purchaser at any such sale.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any such sale.  Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, the Collateral Agent may adjourn or postpone or cause the adjournment or postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was adjourned or postponed, or the Collateral Agent may further adjourn or postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.
(b)Remedies relating to Accounts.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not the Collateral Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Obligor will promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to enforce any Obligor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Collateral Agent or its designee may notify (or require any Obligor to notify) any Obligor’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Obligor have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or of the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein (provided that such Obligor shall have the right to be present at or to participate in any such notification), and may (either in its own name or in the name of an Obligor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, 

compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the Secured Parties in the Accounts.  Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Collateral Agent’s own convenience and that such Obligor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any liability or responsibility to any Obligor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance.  Furthermore, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (A) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Obligors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may require in connection with such test verifications, (B) upon the Collateral Agent’s request and at the expense of the Obligors, the Obligors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts, and (C) the Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts (provided that such Obligor shall have the right to be present at or to participate in any such communication).
(c)Deposit Accounts.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may prevent withdrawals or other dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts maintained with the Collateral Agent.
(d)Access.  In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Obligors without cost or charge to the Collateral Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise.  In addition, the Collateral Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.
(e)Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies.  Failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any other document relating to the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Collateral Agent shall only be granted as provided herein.  To the extent permitted by Law, neither the Collateral Agent nor any party acting as attorney for the Collateral Agent shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgement.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Collateral Agent may have.
(f)Retention of Collateral.  In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
(g)Proceeds from Remedies Exercise.  The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 7, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with 

Section 9, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Obligor.
(h)Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.  Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.
8.Appointment and Authorization of Collateral Agent; Rights of the Collateral Agent.
(a)Appointment and Authorization.  By accepting the benefits hereof, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Obligors to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Credit Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental, and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment.  By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, each of the Secured Parties agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent as contemplated by Section 11.5(c) of the Credit Agreement as if such Secured Party was a “Bank” as set forth in Section 11.5(c) of the Credit Agreement.
(b)Power of Attorney.  In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i)to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, and give discharges and releases, all as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;
(ii)to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any of the Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;
(iii)to defend, settle or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;
(iv)to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to such Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;
(v)to sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;
(vi)to adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;
(vii)to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;
(viii)to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;
(ix)to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;
(x)to exchange any of the Pledged Equity or other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;
(xi)to vote for a shareholder resolution, or to sign an instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Equity into the name of the Collateral Agent or one or more 

of the Secured Parties or into the name of any transferee to whom the Pledged Equity or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 7;
(xii)to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(xiii)to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;
(xiv)to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; and
(xv)to do and perform all such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in connection with the Collateral.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Facility Termination Date.  The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so.  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.  This power of attorney is conferred on the Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.
(c)Resignation by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may from time to time resign and appoint a successor Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement, and such successor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement in relation thereto.
(d)The Collateral Agent’s Duty of Care.  Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and accounting for Money actually received by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors.  The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral.  In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 7, the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
(e)Liability with Respect to Accounts.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Obligors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts, as applicable, to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to each such Account.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(f)Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.
(i)So long as no Event of Default shall exist, each Obligor may (A) exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity owned by such Obligor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement, and (B) receive and retain any and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting Collateral), principal or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity owned by such Obligor to the extent allowed under the Credit Agreement.
(ii)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, in the case of clause (ii)(A) below, after receipt by the Borrower Representative of written notice from the Collateral Agent, (A) all rights of an Obligor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(f)(i)(A) shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, (B) all rights of an Obligor to receive the dividends, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(f)(i)(B) shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Collateral Agent which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments, and (C) all dividends, principal and interest payments which are received by an Obligor contrary to the provisions of Section 8(f)(ii)(B) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Obligor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and as further collateral security for the Secured Obligations.
(g)Releases of Collateral.  
(i)If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, or if any Collateral shall be released in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then in each case the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such Collateral.
(ii)The Collateral Agent may release any Pledged Equity owned by any Obligor from this Agreement or may substitute any such Pledged Equity for other Pledged Equity without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Agreement as to such Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Equity not expressly released or substituted.
(h)Action by Collateral Agent.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall not (A) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (B) have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Obligor or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Collateral Agent by another Secured Party, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the Indenture, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the Indenture, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the Indenture or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the Indenture or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (5) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (6) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in this Agreement, any other Credit Document or the Indenture, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(ii)The obligations of the Collateral Agent to the Noteholders hereunder shall be limited solely to (A) holding the Collateral for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders for so long as (1) any Note Obligations remain outstanding, and (2) such Note Obligations are secured by the Collateral, (B) subject to the terms of this Agreement, enforcing the rights of the Noteholders in their capacities as Secured Parties in respect of Collateral, and (C) distributing any proceeds received by the Collateral Agent from the sale, collection or realization of the Collateral to the Noteholders in respect of the Note Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  No Noteholder shall be entitled to exercise (or direct the Collateral Agent to exercise) any rights or remedies hereunder with respect to the Note Obligations or the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to enforce actions pursuant to this Agreement, request any action, institute proceedings, give any instructions or notices, make any election, make collections, sell or otherwise foreclose on any portion of the Collateral or receive any payment (except for its right to receive payments in the manner expressly provided in Section 9).  This Agreement shall not create any liability of the Collateral Agent or the Guaranteed Parties to the Noteholders by reason of actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of the security interests on the Collateral, actions with respect to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release, or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral, actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Note Obligations from any debtor, guarantor or any other party or the valuation, use or protection of the Collateral.  By acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, the Noteholders will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of the preceding sentence are intended to induce the Guaranteed Parties to permit such Persons to be Secured Parties under this Agreement and are being relied upon by the Guaranteed Parties as consideration therefor.
(iii)The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by the Obligors of the Note Obligations.
(iv)By accepting the benefits hereof, each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision regarding the making or continuation of extensions of credit to the Obligors.  By accepting the benefits hereof, each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the Indenture, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
9.Application of Proceeds.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of proceeds constituting Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations in the following order:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;
SECOND, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent and the Trustee, ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Trustee according to the amount of such costs and expenses then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Administrative Agent and the Trustee;
THIRD, to the Collateral Agent, for application by it towards payment of all accrued interest and fees on or in respect of the Secured Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of interest and fees on or in respect of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;
FOURTH, to the Collateral Agent, for application by it towards payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties according to the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

FIFTH, to the Collateral Agent, for application by it to all other Secured Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FOURTH” above, ratably among the Secured Parties according to the amount of the Secured Obligations and other obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties; and
SIXTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrower Representative.
In carrying out the foregoing: (a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (b) except as otherwise provided, the Banks (and Affiliates thereof) shall receive amounts ratably in accordance with their respective pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Secured Obligations held by such Banks (and Affiliates thereof) bears to the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations then outstanding) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, and “FIFTH” above; and (c) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FOURTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (i) first, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawings under such Letters of Credit, and (ii) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH” and “FIFTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 9.  Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Obligor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Obligor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Obligors to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 9.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts and Bilateral Letter of Credit Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Collateral Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Collateral Agent may request, from the applicable Treasury Management Bank, Swap Bank or Bilateral Letter of Credit Bank, as the case may be.
In making the determination and allocations required by this Section 9, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Trustee as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Note Obligations and information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Obligor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied.
If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 9. 
Each of the Secured Parties hereby agrees not to challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of this Agreement (in each case as a whole or any term or provision contained herein) or the validity of any Lien or financing statement in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all the Secured Parties as provided in this Agreement, or the equal and ratable sharing of any such Lien.
10.Continuing Agreement.
(a)This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date, at which time this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors, forthwith release all of its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination.
(b)This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise 

be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including without limitation any legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations.
11.Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc.  This Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement; provided that (a) any update or revision to Schedule 1(b) or Schedule 2(c) delivered by any Obligor in accordance with the terms hereof shall not constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 11 or Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement, and (b) any update to the schedules hereto pursuant to a Joinder Agreement (as contemplated by Section 21) shall not constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 11 or Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement.
12.Successors in Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon each Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
13.Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given as provided in Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.
14.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

15.Headings.  The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
16.GOVERNING LAW; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.  
(a)THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b)The terms of Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement with respect to submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
17.Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.
18.Entirety.  This Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Indenture and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, and any contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings, if any, including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Credit Documents, the Indenture any other documents relating to the Secured Obligations or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.
19.Survival.  All representations and warranties of the Obligors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other documents relating to the Secured Obligations.
20.Other Security.  To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real property and securities owned by an Obligor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Collateral Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Collateral Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Secured Obligations or any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties under this Agreement, under any of the other Credit Documents, the Indenture or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations.

21.Joinder.  At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become party hereto by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement.  Immediately upon such execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to this Agreement as an “Obligor” and have all of the rights and obligations of an Obligor hereunder and this Agreement and the schedules hereto shall be deemed amended by such Joinder Agreement.
22.Rights of Required Banks.  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Collateral Agent, may be exercised by the Required Banks.
23.Consent of Issuers of Pledged Equity.  Each issuer of Pledged Equity party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees to the grant of the security interests in such Pledged Equity by the applicable Obligors pursuant to this Agreement, together with all rights accompanying such security interest as provided by this Agreement and applicable law, notwithstanding any anti-assignment provisions in any operating agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar organizational or governance documents of such issuer.
