PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

 

Section 3.1 - Commencement
of Exercisability

 

(a)                                  Except as provided in Section 3.4, no
Option may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after such
Option is granted.

 

5

 

(b)           Except to the extent that such Option
becomes exercisable sooner pursuant to Section 3.1(c), the Option shall
become exercisable as to 50% of the shares covered by the Option on the fifth
anniversary of the date the Option is granted and as to the remaining 50% of
the shares covered by the Option on the sixth anniversary of the date the
Option is granted.  Such installments
shall be cumulative.

 

(c)                                  The Option shall become exercisable after the
first anniversary of the date the Option is granted at the time when the
average Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock for any period of 20
consecutive trading days (commencing after such first anniversary) is at least
equal to the product of the Fair Market Value per share on the date the Option
is granted times the amount shown below under “Stock Price Multiple” as to the
percentage of the shares of Common Stock initially subject to the Option shown
below under “Exercisable Percentage.”

For
example, a 1,000 share Option exercisable at $10.00 per share (100% of Fair
Market Value at the date of Option grant) would become exercisable as to 250
shares when a 20 consecutive trading day period average price of $11.20 is
achieved ($11.20 is 112% of $10.00). 
Further vesting would occur if and when the next percentage multiple or
multiples are achieved.

 

(d)                                 Except as provided in Section 3.4, no
portion of the Option which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment shall
thereafter become exercisable.

 

Section 3.2 - Duration
of Exercisability

 

The installments provided
for in Section 3.1 are cumulative. 
Each such installment which becomes exercisable pursuant to
Section 3.1 shall remain exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under
Section 3.3.

 

Section 3.3 - Expiration

The Option may not be
exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following
events:

 

6

the date the Option was granted; or

 

(b)  Except as provided in clauses (c) through
(h) below, the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment; or

 

(c)  In the case of an Optionee who retires after
reaching the Company’s normal retirement age or who takes early retirement, the
expiration of three months from the date of Optionee’s Termination of
Employment by reason of such retirement, or in the case of any such retiring
Optionee whose right to exercise his or her Option is extended by the
Committee, which extension shall not exceed three years from the date of
Optionee’s Termination of Employment, the date upon which such extension
expires; or

 

(d)  In the case of an Optionee who is discharged
not for good cause, the expiration of three months from the Optionee’s
Termination of Employment unless the Optionee dies within said three-month
period; or

 

(e)  In the case of any Optionee whose right to
exercise his or her Option is extended by the Committee, which extension shall
not exceed three years from the date of Optionee’s Termination of Employment,
the date upon which such extension expires; or

 

(f)  In the case of an Optionee who is totally
disabled, the expiration of one year from the date of the Optionee’s
Termination of Employment by reason of his or her disability unless the
Optionee dies within said one-year period; or

 

(g)  The expiration of one year from the date of
the Optionee’s death; or

 

(h)  The effective date of either the merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the
acquisition by another corporation or person (excluding any employee benefit
plan of the Company or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company) of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets or 51% or more of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock,
or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, unless the Committee waives
this provision in connection with such transaction.  At least ten days prior to the effective date of such merger,
consolidation, acquisition, liquidation or dissolution, the Committee shall
give the Optionee notice of such event if the Option has then neither been
fully exercised nor become unexercisable under this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 - Acceleration
of Exercisability

 

(a)                                  In the event of a Termination of Employment
resulting from an Optionee’s normal retirement or total disability (each as
determined by the Committee in accordance with Company policies), early
retirement with the consent of the Committee or death, the Option shall be
exercisable as to all shares covered hereby, notwithstanding that this Option
may not have become fully exercisable under Section 3.1; or

 

(b)                                 In the event of the merger or consolidation
of the Company with or into another corporation, or the acquisition by another
corporation or person (excluding any employee benefit plan of the Company or
any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit
plan of the Company) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or 51%
or more of the Company’s then outstanding voting stock, or the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, the Committee shall then provide by resolution,
adopted prior to such event and incorporated in the notice referred to in
Section 3.3(h), that at some time prior to the effective date of such event
this Option shall be exercisable as to all the shares covered hereby,
notwithstanding that this Option may not yet have become fully exercisable
under Section 3.1; provided, however, that this acceleration of
exercisability shall not take place if:

 

(i)                                     This Option
becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 prior to said effective date; or

 

(ii)                                  In connection with such an event, provision
is made for an assumption of this Option or a substitution therefor of a new
option by an employer corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such
corporation.

 

The
Committee may make such determinations and adopt such rules and conditions as
it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate in connection with such
acceleration of exercisability, including, but not by way of limitation,
provisions to ensure that any such acceleration and resulting exercise shall be
conditioned upon the consummation of the contemplated corporate transaction.

ARTICLE IV

 

EXERCISE OF OPTION

 

Section 4.1 - Person
Eligible to Exercise

 

During the lifetime of the
Optionee, only he or his Transferee, if any, may exercise the Option or any
portion thereof.  After the death of the
Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when
such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3, be exercised by his
Transferee, if any, or by his personal representative or any other person
empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws
of descent and distribution.  All of the
terms and conditions of this Option in the hands of the Optionee during his
lifetime shall be and remain fully applicable and binding on his Transferee, if
any, and on any other person who may become eligible to exercise this Option.

 

Section 4.2 - Partial
Exercise

 

Any exercisable portion of
the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised
in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion
thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3; provided, however, that
each partial exercise shall be for not less than one hundred (100) shares (or
the minimum installment set forth in Section 3.1, if a smaller number of
shares) and shall be for whole shares only.

 

Section 4.3 - Manner
of Exercise

 

The Option, or any
exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the
Secretary or his office of all of the following prior to the time when the
Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3:

 

(a)  Notice in writing signed by the Optionee or
the other person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion, stating that
the Option or portion is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all
applicable rules established by the Committee; and

 

(b)                                 (i) 
Full payment (in cash or by check) for the shares with respect to which
such Option or portion is exercised; or

 

(ii)  With the consent of the Committee, (A)
shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Optionee duly endorsed for
transfer to the Company, or (B) shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable
to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, with a Fair Market Value on the
date of option exercise equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares
with respect to which such Option or portion is exercised; or

 

9

 

(iii)  With the consent of the Committee, a full
recourse promissory note bearing interest (at least such rate as shall then
preclude the imputation of interest under the Code or successor provision) and
payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Committee.  The Committee may also prescribe the form of
such note and the security to be given for such note.  The Option may not be exercised, however, by delivery of a
promissory note or by a loan from the Company when or where such loan or other
extension of credit is prohibited by law; or;

 

(iv)  With the consent of the Committee, any
combination of the consideration provided in the foregoing subparagraphs (i),
(ii) and (iii); and

 

(c)  A bona fide written representation and
agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or
other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion, stating that the
shares of stock are being acquired for his own account, for investment and without
any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any of them
except as may be permitted under the Securities Act and then applicable rules
and regulations thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled
to exercise such Option or portion will indemnify the Company against and hold
it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to
the Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such person is
contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above.  The Committee may, in its absolute
discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to insure the
observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect
compliance with the Securities Act and any other federal or state securities
laws or regulations.  Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an opinion of
counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of shares
acquired on an Option exercise does not violate the Securities Act, and may
issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares.  Share certificates evidencing stock issued on exercise of this
Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of this
subsection (c) and the agreements herein. 
The written representation and agreement referred to in the first
sentence of this subsection (c) shall, however, not be required if the
shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the
Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such
shares; and

 

(d)  Full payment to the Company (or other
employer corporation) of all amounts which, under federal, state or local tax
law, it is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; with the consent
of the Committee, (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the
Optionee duly endorsed for transfer, or, (ii) shares of the Company’s Common
Stock issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, valued at Fair
Market Value as of the date of Option exercise, may be used to make all or part
of such payment; and

 

10

 

(e)  In the event the Option or portion shall be
exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any person or persons other than the
Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise
the Option.

 

Section 4.4
- Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates

 

The shares of stock
deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be
either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have
been reacquired by the Company.  Such
shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. 
The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or
certificates for shares of stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or
portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

 

(a)  The admission of such shares to listing on
all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; and

 

(b)  The completion of any registration or other
qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other
governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute
discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and

 

(c)  The obtaining of any approval or other
clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee
shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and

 

(d)  The payment to the Company (or other
employer corporation) of all amounts, if any, which, under federal, state or
local tax law, it is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; and

 

(e)  The lapse of such reasonable period of time
following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time
establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

 

Section 4.5 - Rights
as Stockholder

 

The holder of the Option
shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the
Company in respect to any shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of

Borrowing under Section 2.4
in which a Bank's share is determined on the basis of its bid in accordance therewith, and a "Swingline Borrowing" is a Borrowing under Section 2.3 in which only the Swingline Lender
participates (subject to the provisions of said Section 2.3)). 

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS  

        SECTION
2.1.    Commitments to Lend.    (a) Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, to make Committed Loans to the Borrower and participate in Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Article from time to time during
the 

27

 

term
hereof in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans by such Bank at any one time outstanding plus such Bank's Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans outstanding together with
such Bank's pro rata share of the Letter of Credit Usage at such time shall not exceed its Commitment. Each Euro-Dollar Borrowing outstanding under this Section 2.1 shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each Base Rate Borrowing (or Borrowing bearing interest at the Offered Rate) shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount available in accordance with
Section 3.2(b), or in any amount required to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any drawing under any Letter of Credit or to repay the Swingline Lender the amount of any Swingline Loan) and, other
than with respect to Money Market Loans and Swingline Loans, shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. In no event shall the aggregate Loans
outstanding at any time, plus the Letter of Credit Usage, exceed $750,000,000 (as adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.1, Section 2.11(e) or as may otherwise be
provided in this Agreement, the "Facility Amount"). Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid may be reborrowed. 

        (b)    Optional Increase in Commitments.    Unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower, by written notice to Administrative Agent, may request on up to two (2) occasions, on or before the second anniversary of the Closing, that the Commitments be increased by an amount
not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) per request and not more than Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) in the aggregate (such that the aggregate Commitments after such
increases shall never exceed One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000)); provided that for any such request (i) any Bank which is a party to this
Agreement prior to such request for increase, at its sole discretion, may elect to increase its Commitment but shall not have any obligation to so increase its
Commitment, and (ii) in the event that any Bank which is a party to this Agreement prior to such request for increase does not elect to increase its Commitment, the Administrative Agent and the
Syndication Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate additional Qualified Institutions willing to provide commitments for the requested increase, and Borrower may also identify
additional Qualified Institutions willing to provide commitments for the requested increase, provided further that Administrative Agent shall approve
any such additional Qualified Institutions, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that Qualified Institutions commit to any such increase, the Commitments of the
committed Banks shall be increased, the Pro Rata Shares of the Banks shall be adjusted, new Notes shall be issued, Borrower shall make such borrowings and repayments as shall be necessary to effect
the reallocation of the Committed Loans so that the Committed Loans are held by the Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to such increase, and other changes shall be made
to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to reflect the aggregate amount, if any, by which Banks have agreed to increase their respective Commitments or make new Commitments in 

28

 

response
to the Borrower's request for an increase in the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), in each case without the consent of the Banks other than those Banks increasing
their Commitments. The fees payable by Borrower upon any such increase in the Commitments shall be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and Borrower at the time of such increase. In addition, if as
a result of any such increase in the Commitments, there shall be a reallocation of Euro-Dollar Borrowings, Borrower shall pay any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 2.14
hereof. 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.1(b) shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Bank to increase its Commitment hereunder. 

        SECTION
2.2.    Notice of Borrowing.    (a) With respect to any Committed Borrowing, the Borrower shall give
Administrative Agent notice not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City) (x) the Business Day prior to each Base Rate Borrowing or Borrowing bearing interest at the Offered Rate, or
(y) the third (3rd) Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing specifying: 

        (i)    the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Borrowing bearing interest at the Offered Rate or a
Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, 

        (ii)   the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing, 

        (iii)  whether
the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans, Loans bearing interest at the Offered Rate or Euro-Dollar Loans, 

        (iv)  in
the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period, 

        (v)   payment
instructions for delivery of such Borrowing; and 

        (vi)  that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. 

        (b)   Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent, and the Fronting Bank, written notice in the event that it desires to have Letters of Credit (each, a
"Letter of Credit") issued, or to have Letters of Credit issued on behalf of a Subsidiary, hereunder no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time)
at least four (4) Business Days prior to, but excluding, the date of such issuance. Each such notice shall specify (i) the individual amount of each requested Letter of Credit,
(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Letters of Credit, (iii) the individual amount of 

29

 

each
requested Letter of Credit and the number of Letters of Credit to be issued, (iv) the date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (v) the name and address of the
beneficiary, (vi) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit (which in no event shall be later than the date which is fifteen (15) days prior to the Maturity Date), (vii) the
purpose and circumstances for which such Letter of Credit is being issued, (viii) the terms upon which each such Letter of Credit may be drawn down (which terms shall not leave any discretion
to Fronting Bank) and (ix) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. Each such notice may be revoked telephonically by the Borrower to the Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent any time prior to the issuance of the Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank, provided such revocation is confirmed in writing by the Borrower to the Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day by facsimile. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall complete and deliver to the Fronting Bank, at the
Fronting Bank's request, any required documentation in connection with any requested Letter of Credit no later than the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the date of issuance thereof. No later than
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that is four (4) Business Days prior to, but excluding, the date of issuance, the Borrower shall specify a precise description of the documents
and the verbatim text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, which if presented by such beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit would
require the Fronting Bank to make a payment under the Letter of Credit; provided, that Fronting Bank may, in its reasonable judgment, require changes in
any such documents and certificates only in conformity with changes in customary and commercially reasonable practice or law and, provided further, that
no Letter of Credit
shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the second Business Day following the date that such draft is presented if such presentation is made later than
1:00 P.M. New York City time (except that if the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit requests at the time of the issuance of its Letter of Credit that payment be made on the same Business Day
against a conforming draft, such beneficiary shall be entitled to such a same day draw, provided such draft is presented to the Fronting Bank no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) and
provided further the Borrower shall have requested to the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent that such beneficiary shall be entitled to a same day draw). In determining whether to pay on such
Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under the Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they
comply on their face with the requirements of that Letter of Credit. 

        SECTION
2.3.    Swingline Loan Subfacility.    

        (a)    Swingline Commitment.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3, the Swingline Lender,
in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each a "Swingline Loan" and, collectively, the
"Swingline Loans") from time to time during the Term hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any 

30

 

time
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($125,000,000), and (ii) the aggregate Commitments less the sum of (A) all Loans then outstanding,
and (B) the Letter of Credit Usage (the "Swingline Commitment"). Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of
Swingline Loans may be reborrowed. 

        (b)    Swingline Borrowings.    

        (i)    Notice of Borrowing.    With respect to any Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender
and the Administrative Agent notice in writing which is received by the Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such
Swingline Borrowing (and confirmed by telephone by such time), specifying (A) that a Swingline Borrowing is being requested, (B) the amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (C) the
proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day and (D) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to such
Swingline Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable. 

        (ii)    Minimum Amounts.    Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or an
integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 

        (iii)    Repayment of Swingline Loans.    Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) 5
Business Days from and including the date of the applicable Swingline Borrowing, (B) the date of the next Committed Borrowing or (C) the Maturity Date. If, and to the extent, any
Swingline Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Committed Borrowing, such Swingline Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Committed Borrowing prior to the disbursement of the
same to the Borrower. If, and to the extent, a Committed Borrowing is not requested prior to the Maturity Date or the end of the 5 Business Day period after a Swingline Borrowing, or unless the
Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day after the Swingline
Borrowing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Swingline Bank for the amount of such Swingline Borrowing with funds other than proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Committed Borrowing comprised 

31

 

entirely
of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loan to the Swingline Lender. In addition, if
(x) the Borrower does not repay the Swingline Loan on or prior to the end of such 5 Business Day period, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such 5 Business
Day period, the Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Committed
Borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then outstanding, the proceeds
of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender. Any Committed Borrowing which is deemed requested by the Borrower in accordance with this
Section 2.3(b)(iii) is hereinafter referred to as a "Mandatory Borrowing". Each Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make Committed Loans
promptly upon receipt of notice from the Swingline Lender of any such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such
notice is received by such Bank (or the next Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 noon (New York City time)) notwithstanding (I) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may
not comply with the minimum amount of Committed Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a
Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Committed Borrowing to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.2, (V) the
date of such Mandatory Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously
therewith; provided, however, that no Bank shall be obligated to make Committed Loans in respect of a Mandatory Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the applicable Swingline
Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of
Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded. 

        (iv)    Purchase of Participations.    In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the
date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each
Bank hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment received from the Borrower on or after such date
and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Bank to share in such Swingline Loans ratably
based upon its Pro Rata Share (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 6.2), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline
Loans with respect to any participation shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until but excluding the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in
the event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the
purchasing Bank shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2) Business Days after the date the Mandatory
Borrowing would otherwise have 

32

 

occurred,
and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any Swingline Loan if a Default or an Event of
Default then exists and such Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after
Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded. 

        (c)    Interest Rate.    Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each
day from the date such Swingline Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans for such
day. 

        SECTION
2.4.    Money Market Borrowings.    

        (a)    The Money Market Option.    From time to time during the Term, and provided that at such time the Borrower
maintains an Investment Grade Rating, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.4, request the Banks during the Term to make offers to make Money Market Loans to the Borrower, not to
exceed, at such time, the lesser of (i) 50% of the aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Commitments less all Loans and Letter of Credit Usage then outstanding (excluding any
Loans or any portion thereof to be repaid from the proceeds of such Money Market Loans). Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may repay any outstanding Money Market Loan on any
day which is a Business Day (or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of Money Market IBOR Loans) and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed, up to the amount available under this
Section 2.4 at the time of such Borrowing, until the Euro-Dollar Business Day next preceding the Maturity Date. The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers
and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.4. 

        (b)    Money Market Quote Request.    When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Money Market Loans under this
Section, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a Money Market Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a
"Money Market Quote Request") so as to be received not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on (x) the fifth Euro-Dollar
Business Day prior to, but excluding, the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an IBOR Auction or (y) the Business Day immediately preceding the date of Borrowing proposed
therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Banks
not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first IBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying: 

33

 

        (i)    the
proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of an IBOR Auction or a Business Day in the case of an Absolute Rate
Auction, 

        (ii)   the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, 

        (iii)  the
duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto (which shall not be less than 14 days or more than 180 days), subject to the provisions of the
definition of Interest Period, 

        (iv)  whether
the Money Market Quotes requested are to set forth a Money Market Margin or a Money Market Non-IBOR Rate, 

        (v)   the
aggregate amount of all Money Market Loans then outstanding, and 

        (vi)  that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. 

The
Borrower may request offers to make Money Market Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Money Market Quote Request. In no event may Borrower give a Money Market Quote Request within
ten (10) days of the giving of any other Money Market Quote Request. 

        (c)    Invitation for Money Market Quotes.    Promptly upon receipt of a Money Market Quote Request, the
Administrative Agent shall send to the Banks by telex or facsimile transmission an "Invitation for Money Market Quotes" substantially in the form of
Exhibit C hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Bank to submit Money Market Quotes offering to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote
Request relates in accordance with this Section. 

        (d)    Submission and Contents of Money Market Quotes.    1. Each Bank may submit a Money Market Quote
containing an offer or offers to make Money Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Each Money Market Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection
(d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telex or facsimile transmission at its offices specified in or pursuant to Section 9.1 not later than (x) 2:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the fourth Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but excluding, the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a IBOR Auction or (y) 9:30 A.M. (New York
City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually
agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first IBOR Auction or 

34

 

Absolute
Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent) in the capacity
of a Bank may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than
(x) one hour prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case of an IBOR Auction or (y) one hour prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction.
Subject to Articles III and VI, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower. 

        2.     Each
Money Market Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify: 

        (i)    the
proposed date of Borrowing, 

        (ii)   the
principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be greater than or less than the Commitment
of the quoting Bank, (x) must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers were requested and
(z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Bank may be accepted, 

        (iii)  the
Interest Period(s) with respect to which each such offer is being made, 

        (iv)  in
the case of an IBOR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable Base Euro-Dollar Rate (the "Money Market
Margin") offered for each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such
base rate, 

        (v)   in
the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the "Money Market
Non-IBOR Rate") offered for each such Money Market Loan, and 

        (vi)  the
identity of the quoting Bank. 

A
Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Bank with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Money Market Quotes. 

35

  

        3.     Any
Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it: 

        (i)    is
not substantially in conformity with Exhibit D hereto or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(2) above; 

        (ii)   contains
qualifying, conditional or similar language (except for an aggregate limitation as provided in subsection (d)(2)(ii) above); 

        (iii)  proposes
terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Money Market Quotes; or 

        (iv)  arrives
after the time set forth in subsection (d)(1). 

        (e)    Notice to Borrower.    The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business
Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of an IBOR Auction) after receipt thereof) notify the Borrower in writing of the terms (x) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank
that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank
with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted
solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote or modifies the terms of such previous Money Market Quote to provide terms more favorable to Borrower. The Administrative Agent's
notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market
Quote Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market Non-IBOR Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations
on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote may be accepted. 

        (f)    Acceptance and Notice by Borrower.    Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on (x) the
third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but excluding, the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an IBOR Auction or (y) the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an
Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date
of the Money Market
Quote Request for the first IBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or
non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a "Notice of Money Market
Borrowing") shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in
part; provided that: 

36

 

        1.     the
aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request; 

        2.     the
principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; 

        3.     the
lowest remaining offered Money Market Margin or Money Market Non-IBOR Rate, as the case may be, must be accepted prior to any higher offered Money Market
Margin or Money Market Non-IBOR Rate, as the case may be, until the aggregate principal amount of such Money Market Borrowing is covered; and 

        4.     the
Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(3) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. 

        (g)    Allocation by Agent.    If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Money Market Margins or Money
Market Non-IBOR Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the
principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $100,000, as
the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business
Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of an IBOR Auction) after such offers are accepted) notify the Borrower and each such Bank in writing of any such allocation of Money Market
Loans. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the allocation of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

        (h)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, each Bank shall be required to fund its Pro Rata Share of Committed Loans in accordance with
Section 2.1 hereof despite the fact that any
Bank's Commitment may have been or may be exceeded as a result of such Bank's making of Money Market Loans. 

        SECTION
2.5.    Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.    

        (a)   Upon
receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Borrowing is
received by the Administrative Agent, notify each applicable Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's share of such Borrowing, of the interest rate applicable thereto and the Interest Period(s)
(if different from those requested by the Borrower) and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be 

37

 

revocable
by the Borrower, unless Borrower shall pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.14. 

        (b)   Not
later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Committed Borrowing (including without limitation each Mandatory Borrowing) as indicated in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing, each Bank shall (except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section) make available its share of such Committed Borrowing in Federal funds immediately
available in New York, New York, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. If the Borrower has requested the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no later than
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such issuance as indicated in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Fronting Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit for the
amount so requested and deliver the same to, or as directed in writing by, the Borrower, with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by the
Fronting Bank, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Bank, and each such other Bank shall be deemed, and hereby agrees, to have irrevocably and unconditionally
purchased and received from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and a participation in such Letter of Credit, any drawing thereunder, and its obligation to pay its
Pro Rata Share with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, in an amount equal to such Bank's ratable share thereof. Upon any change in any of the Commitments in
accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such participations to reflect such changed shares. The Fronting Bank shall have the primary obligation to fund any and all draws made
with respect to such Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating Bank to fund its ratable share of any such draw. The Administrative Agent will instruct the Fronting Bank to make
such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower and the Fronting Bank shall make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower, at its aforesaid address or at such address in the United States as
Borrower shall request on the date of the Borrowing. 

        (c)   Not
later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Swingline Borrowing as indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the Swingline Lender
shall make available such Swingline
Borrowing in Federal funds immediately available in New York, New York to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. 

        (d)   Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
this Section 2.5 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf
of such Bank. If and to the extent that such Bank shall 

38

 

not
have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent. If such Bank shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank shall not pay to
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable attempts are made by Administrative Agent to collect such amounts from such Bank, Borrower agrees to repay to Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to
Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(d) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment of any
Bank or in any way affect the rights of Borrower with respect to any defaulting Bank or Administrative Agent. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank's share of
any Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to fund its Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof. In addition, until
such time as such Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank's share of any Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof or shall repay to the Administrative Agent
all amounts due to it, as applicable, unless such failure is subject to a good faith dispute as to whether such advance or reimbursement is properly required to be made pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement, such Bank shall not have the right to approve or consent to any matter requiring such approval or consent hereunder. 

        (e)   Subject
to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available each Borrowing to Borrower in Federal funds immediately available in accordance with, and
on the date set forth in, the applicable Notice of Borrowing. 

        SECTION
2.6.    Notes.    

        (a)   The
Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note made by the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. 

        (b)   Each
Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request that its Loans of a particular type (including, without limitation, Swingline Loans and
Money Market Loans) be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Any additional costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
or the Banks in connection with preparing such a Note shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Bank requesting such Note. In the event any Loans evidenced by such a Note are 

39

 

paid
in full prior to the Maturity Date, any such Bank shall return such Note to Borrower. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications
to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant type. Upon the execution and delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank shall be returned to Borrower and
replaced or modified accordingly. Each reference in this Agreement to the "Note" of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require. 

        (c)   Upon
receipt of any Bank's Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date,
amount, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower, with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with
any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the appropriate schedule appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that
the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the
Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. 

        (d)   The
Committed Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date. The Swingline Loans shall mature, and the principal
amount thereof shall be due and payable, in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(iii). 

        (e)   Each
Money Market Loan included in any Money Market Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with accrued interest
thereon, on the earlier to occur of (i) last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing or (ii) the Maturity Date. 

        (f)    There
shall be no more than seven (7) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans and no more than ten (10) Money Market Loans outstanding at any one time. 

        SECTION
2.7.    Method of Electing Interest Rates.    (a) The Loans included in each Committed Borrowing shall
bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower, in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or as otherwise provided in Section 2.3 with respect to Mandatory Borrowings.
Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as
follows: 

        (i)    if
such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans or Loans bearing interest at the
Offered Rate as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; 

40

  

        (ii)   if
such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans or Loans bearing interest at the Offered Rate, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to
Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case effective on
the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or on such other date designated by Borrower in the Notice of Interest Rate Election provided Borrower shall pay any losses
pursuant to Section 2.14. 

        Each
such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest Rate Election") to the Administrative Agent at least three
(3) Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to, but excluding, the effective date of the conversion or continuation selected in such notice. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so
specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group,
(ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each in the minimum amounts required hereby, (iii) no Committed Loan may be
continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided, however, that if and for so long as Borrower shall have an
Investment Grade Rating from S&P and Moody's, if Borrower shall so request and the Required Banks shall so elect, then a Committed Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a
Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. 

        (b)   Each
Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify: 

        (i)    the
Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies; 

        (ii)   the
date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection
(a) above; 

        (iii)  if
the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial
Interest Period applicable thereto; and 

        (iv)  if
such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period. 

Each
Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. 

41

 

        (c)   Upon
receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank the same
day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof, the interest rates determined pursuant thereto and the Interest Periods (if different from those requested by the
Borrower) and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. 

        SECTION
2.8.    Interest Rates.    

        (a)   Each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or
converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.7, at a rate per annum equal to sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day. 

        (b)   Each
Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans for such day plus the Euro-Dollar Rate applicable to such Interest Period. 

        (c)   Subject
to Section 8.1, each Money Market IBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto,
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Euro-Dollar Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with Section 2.8(b) as if the related Money Market IBOR
Borrowing were a Euro-Dollar Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.4. Each Money Market
Non-IBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market
Non-IBOR Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.4. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Money Market Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate until such failure shall become an Event of Default and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base
Rate for such day. 

        (d)   In
the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and fees in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate and two percent (2%), or, if any Committed Loan
shall have been continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Dollar Loan, then, as to such Loan only, the sum of the Euro- 

42

 

Dollar
Rate and the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans, and two percent (2%) (collectively, the "Default Rate"). 

        (e)   The
Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the
Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. 

        (f)    Interest
on all Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate or the Offered Rate shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month. Interest on all Loans
bearing interest based on the Euro-Dollar Rate shall be payable on the last Euro-Dollar Business Day of the applicable Interest Period, and, in the case of Interest Periods
longer than three months, on the last Euro-Dollar Business Day of each three-month period from commencement. 

        SECTION
2.9.    Fees.    

        (a)    Facility Fee.    For the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date the Obligations are paid in
full and this Agreement is terminated (the "Facility Fee Period"), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks
ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments a facility fee on the aggregate Commitments, regardless of usage, at the Applicable Fee Percentage. In the event that the Commitments are
terminated but Loans or Letters of Credit remain outstanding, then, the facility fee shall be paid on the aggregate outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Usage. The facility fee shall be payable in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Facility Fee Period and on the Maturity Date. 

        (b)    Letter of Credit Fee.    During the Term, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Banks in proportion to their interests in respect of issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, a fee (a "Letter of Credit Fee") in an amount,
provided that no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, equal to a rate per annum equal to the then percentage per annum of the Applicable Margin with respect to Euro-Dollar Loans, on the daily average of such issued
and undrawn Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Term and on the Maturity Date. From the
occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased to be equal to two percent (2%) per annum on the daily average of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit. 

        (c)    Fronting Bank Fee.    The Borrower shall pay any Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fee (a
"Fronting Bank Fee") at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 0.125% of the daily average issued and undrawn amount of each outstanding
Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank and (ii) $1,000, which fee shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the Letter of Credit Fee. The Fronting Bank 

43

 

Fee
shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Term and on the Maturity Date. 

        (d)    Extension Fee.    If Borrower elects to extend the term of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.10(b),
the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent no later than 30 days prior to the Extension Date for the account of the Banks in proportion to their interests, a fee (the
"Extension Fee") in an amount equal to 0.20% of the aggregate Commitments at such time. 

        (e)    Fees Non-Refundable.    All fees set forth in this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to have been
earned on the date payment is due in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall be non-refundable. The obligation of the Borrower to pay such fees in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks regardless of whether any Loans are actually made. 

        SECTION
2.10.    Maturity Date.    

        (a)   The
term (the "Term") of the Commitments (and each Bank's obligations to make Loans and to participate in Letters of
Credit hereunder) shall terminate and expire, and the Borrower shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the Fronting Bank on the Maturity Date. Upon the date of the termination of
the Term, any Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations) shall be due and payable on such date. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower may extend the Maturity Date one time during the term of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year upon the
following terms and conditions: (i) delivery by Borrower of a written notice to the Administrative Agent (the "Extension Notice") on or before a
date that is not more than 120 days nor less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, which Extension Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Banks; (ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing both on the date the Borrower delivers the Extension Notice and on the original Maturity Date (the "Extension
Date"), (iii) all representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement (other than representations which expressly speak as of a different date)
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Date, and (iv) Borrower shall pay the Extension Fee to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Banks,
no later than 30 days prior to the Extension Date. Borrower's delivery of the Extension Notice shall be irrevocable. 

        SECTION
2.11.    Optional Prepayments.    

        (a)   The
Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans, Loans bearing interest at the
Offered Rate or any Money Market Borrowing bearing interest 

44

 

at
the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.1, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or more, by paying the principal amount to
be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day so long as prior notice is given to the Administrative Agent and
Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day on which Borrower intends to make such prepayment, prepay any Swingline Loans in whole or in part in amounts aggregating
$100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000 (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding) by paying the principal amount to be prepaid
together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks (or the Swingline Lender in the case
of Swingline Loans) included in such Group or Borrowing. 

        (b)   The
Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Euro-Dollar Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, pay all, or from time to time in part in
amounts aggregating Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more, of any Euro-Dollar Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Except as provided in Article 8
and except with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5 hereof, the Borrower may not prepay all or any
portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to
Section 2.14. The Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Money Market Loan prior to the end of
the Interest Period applicable thereto without the consent of all applicable Designated Lenders and Banks. Any such prepayment shall be given on or prior to the third (3rd)
Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but excluding, the date of prepayment to the Administrative Agent. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the
Banks included in any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, except that any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5
hereof may be prepaid without ratable payment of the other Loans in such Group of Loans which have not been so converted. 

        (c)   The
Borrower may at any time return any undrawn Letter of Credit to the Fronting Bank in whole, but not in part, and the Fronting Bank within a reasonable period of time
shall give the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks notice of such return. 

        (d)   The
Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the Commitments in amounts aggregating Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) or a larger
multiple of $1,000,000 by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of cancellation within the applicable time periods set forth in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) if there are Loans then
outstanding or, if there are no Loans outstanding at such time as to which the Commitments with respect 

45

 

thereto
are being canceled, upon at least three (3) Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon, in either event, all or such portion of the Commitments, as applicable, shall
terminate as to the applicable Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation, and, if there are any Loans then outstanding, Borrower shall prepay, as applicable, all or such
portion of Loans outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.11(a) and (b). In no event shall the Borrower be permitted to cancel Commitments for which a Letter of
Credit has been issued and is outstanding unless the Borrower returns (or causes to be returned) such Letter of Credit to the Fronting Bank. Borrower shall be permitted to designate in its notice of
cancellation which Loans, if any, are to be prepaid. A reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) shall not effect a reduction in the Swingline Commitment (unless so elected
by the Borrower) until the aggregate Commitments have been reduced to an amount equal to the Swingline Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, at no time may the Borrower reduce the
Commitments to an amount less than $400,000,000 unless the Borrower shall cancel all the Commitments. 

        (e)   Any
amounts so prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 (a) or (b) may be reborrowed. In the event Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the
Commitments and the Swingline Commitment pursuant to Section 2.11(d) hereof, such amounts may not be reborrowed. 

        SECTION
2.12.    Intentionally Omitted    

        SECTION
2.13.    General Provisions as to Payments.    

        (a)   The
Borrower shall make each payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees hereunder, without set-off or counterclaim, by initiating a wire
transfer not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, or, with respect to Money Market Loans, fund such payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees
hereunder such that the Designating Lender shall receive payment from Administrative Agent by 12:00 P.M. (New York City time), of Federal or other funds immediately available in New York, New
York, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof)
distribute to each Bank its ratable share (or applicable share with respect to Money Market Loans) of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. If and to the
extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Banks on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day (or Euro-Dollar
Business Day, as applicable), and Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day, Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to
such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank until the date Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such Bank, at
the Federal Funds Rate. Whenever 

46

 

any
payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the
date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case
the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Money Market Non-IBOR Rate
Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Money Market IBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar
Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 

        (b)   Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will
not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment, each
Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank
until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 

        SECTION
2.14.    Funding Losses.    If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any
Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market IBOR Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the
Borrower fails to borrow any Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market IBOR Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(f) or 2.5(a), as applicable, or if
Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after certification by such Bank of such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to Administrative
Agent for delivery to Borrower) for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining,
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to 

47

 

Administrative
Agent and Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a certification as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in reasonable detail
the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. 

        SECTION
2.15.    Computation of Interest and Fees.    Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

        SECTION
2.16.    Use of Proceeds.    The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for general corporate purposes,
including, without limitation, the origination, acquisition and funding of Loan Assets and Credit Tenant Lease Assets, repayment of the Existing Facility and for general working capital needs of the
Borrower; provided, however, that no Swingline Loan shall be used for the purpose of refinancing another Swingline Loan, in whole or part. 

        SECTION
2.17.    Letters of Credit.    

        (a)   Subject
to the terms contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.2(b) requesting the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (subject to the provisions of
Section 2.2(b)) in an amount or amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by the Borrower. 

        (b)   Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fronting Bank. 

        (c)   The
Letter of Credit Usage shall be no more than Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000). 

        (d)   Without
the consent of the Administrative Agent, there shall be no more than ten (10) Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time. 

        (e)   In
the event of any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder, the Fronting Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank thereof) on the same Business Day as such request for drawing, and, except as provided in this subsection (e), the Borrower shall reimburse
the Fronting Bank, in immediately available funds, on the same day on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to such drawing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the 

48

 

contrary,
however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the
date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount
equal to the such drawing. Each Bank shall, in accordance with Section 2.5(b), make available its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be
applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of such draw. In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Fronting Bank the amount of such
Bank's participation on the date of a drawing, the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate commencing on the
date such drawing is honored, and the provisions of Section 9.16 shall otherwise apply to such failure. 

        (f)    If,
at the time a beneficiary under any Letter of Credit requests a drawing thereunder, an Event of Default as described in Section 6.1(f) or
Section 6.1(g) shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date on which the Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the Borrower shall have an unreimbursed obligation (the
"Unreimbursed Obligation") to the Fronting Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest at the annual rate of
the sum of the Base Rate plus two percent (2%). Each Bank shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such drawing in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Commitments, and upon
receipt thereof the Fronting Bank shall deliver to such Bank an Unreimbursed Obligation participation certificate dated the date of the Fronting Bank's receipt of such funds and in the amount of such
Bank's pro rata share. 

        (g)   If,
after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the
administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits
in or for the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any Bank (including the Fronting Bank) or (ii) impose on any Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement or such
Bank (including the Fronting Bank) as it pertains to the Letters of Credit or any participation therein and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall
be to increase, by an amount deemed by the Fronting Bank or such Bank to be material, the cost to the Fronting Bank or any Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participating therein,
then the Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Bank or such Bank, within 15 days after written demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a
certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such additional 

49

 

amounts
as shall be required to compensate the Fronting Bank or such Bank for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) and will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then
Borrower's liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the
ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this
Section 2.17(g) and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In
determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

        (h)   The
Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses,
costs, charges and expenses
(including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and disbursements) which the Fronting Bank may incur or be subject to as a result of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than
to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting Bank or (ii) the failure of the Fronting Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of
any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
government or governmental authority (collectively, "Governmental Acts"), other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the Fronting Bank. As between the Borrower and the Fronting Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary with respect to its use, or misuses of, the
Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Fronting Bank shall not be responsible (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any
or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
any such 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; (iii) for failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the Fronting Bank; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission, or 

50

 

otherwise;
(v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under
any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; and
(viii) for any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Fronting Bank, including any Government Acts, in each case other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the Fronting Bank's rights and powers hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in
limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related
certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the
contrary, the Fronting Bank will be liable to the Borrower for any damages suffered by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries as a result of the Fronting Bank's grossly negligent or wilful failure to pay
under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a sight draft and certificates strictly in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. 

        (i)    If
the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization law or otherwise, to
return to the Borrower any reimbursement by the Borrower of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Bank shall pay to the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, its pro
rata share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the person recovering such payment, in
which case with interest thereon,
computed at the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay. 

        (j)    Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Lenders acknowledge that the letters of credit previously issued by Bank of America, N.A. and more
particularly described on Schedule 2.17 attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. 

        SECTION
2.18.    Letter of Credit Usage Absolute.    The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect
of any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any Letter
of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following circumstances: 

        (a)   any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the "Letter
of Credit Documents") or any Loan Document; 

51

  

        (b)   any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent by the Borrower to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any Loan Document;  provided, that the Fronting Bank shall not consent to any
such change or amendment unless previously consented to in writing by the Borrower; 

        (c)   any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any
of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit; 

        (d)   the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of
Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or any Bank (other than a defense based on the bad faith, gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or such Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or
by the Letters of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; 

        (e)   any
draft or any other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or other Loan Document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; provided, that payment by the Fronting Bank under such
Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or document shall not have been the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; 

        (f)    payment
by the Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;  provided, that such payment shall not have been the result of
the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; and 

        (g)   any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever other than the payment in full of all obligations hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or any agreement or
instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower;  provided, that such
other circumstance or happening shall not have been the result of bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Fronting
Bank.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  

        In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks which is or may become a party to this Agreement to make the Loans and/or issue or
participate in Letters of Credit, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and, in accordance with Section 3.2(d) hereof, as of each Borrowing or
issuance of a Letter of Credit. Such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents and the making of the
Loans. 

        SECTION
4.1.    Existence and Power.    The Borrower is a corporation, duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has all powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on
its 

55

 

business
as now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good
standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.2.    Power and Authority.    The Borrower has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and
carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize the execution and delivery on behalf of the Borrower
and the performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, and each such Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law. 

        SECTION
4.3.    No Violation.    Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on behalf of the Borrower of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents,
(i) will materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will
materially conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries
pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower (or of any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner) or any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the lenders
thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a material default by the Borrower under any organizational document of any Person in which the
Borrower has an interest, or cause a material default under the Borrower's agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of which conflict, breach or default would have a Material
Adverse Effect, or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein). 

        SECTION
4.4.    Financial Information.    (a)    The consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial
position of Borrower 

56

 

and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year. 

        (b)   Since
December 31, 2003, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks prior to the Closing Date, nothing has occurred having a Material
Adverse Effect, and (ii) except as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b), Borrower has not incurred any material Indebtedness or guaranteed any
Indebtedness on or before the Closing Date. 

        SECTION
4.5.    Litigation.    There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the
Borrower threatened against or affecting, (i) the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents
or (iii) any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable
possibility of an adverse decision which could, individually, or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents. 

        SECTION
4.6.    Compliance with ERISA.    (a)    Except as set forth on  Schedule 4.6 attached
hereto, Borrower is not a member of nor has entered into, maintained, contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or
may incur any liability with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or any other Benefit Arrangement. In the event that at any time after the Closing Date, Borrower shall become a member
of any other material Plan or Multiemployer Plan, Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (and from and after such notice,  Schedule 4.6 shall be deemed modified thereby).

        (b)   No
assets of Borrower constitute "assets" (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29 C.F.R. §
2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1)
of the Code. In addition to the prohibitions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall not use any
"assets" (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101) of an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning
of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a "plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations. 

        SECTION
4.7.    Environmental.    The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business,
operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without
limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties 

57

 

presently
owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or
contract, any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On
the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely
to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.8.    Taxes.    The Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income
tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower, or
any Consolidated Subsidiary, except (i) such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings or (iii) such tax returns or such taxes, the failure to file when due or to make payment when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate. 

        SECTION
4.9.    Full Disclosure.    All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
and all the Banks for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such
information is stated or certified; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such
information represents the Borrower's expectations regarding future performance, based upon historical information and reasonable assumptions, it being understood, however, that actual results may
differ from the projected results described in the financial projections. The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent, in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to the extent the
Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.10.    Solvency.    On the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents occurring on the Closing Date, the Borrower will be Solvent. 

        SECTION
4.11.    Use of Proceeds.    All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower only in accordance with
the provisions hereof. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of regulations T, U, or X of the Federal Reserve Board. 

        SECTION
4.12.    Governmental Approvals.    No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or
filing, recording or registration 

58

   
with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of
any Loan Document or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have already been duly made or obtained and remain in full force and effect or those which,
if not made or obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; 

        SECTION
4.13.    Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act.    Neither the Borrower nor any
Consolidated Subsidiary is (x) an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (y) a
"holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an "affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended, or (z) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

principal place of business of the Borrower is 1114 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036.

patents, trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, copyrights and other such rights, free from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the operation of its business as presently conducted, the
impairment of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.17.    Judgments.    As of the Closing Date, there are no final, non-appealable judgments or
decrees in an aggregate amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or more entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary or, to the extent
such judgment would be recourse to Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than judgments as to which, and only to the extent, a reputable insurance company has acknowledged coverage
of such claim in writing or which have been paid or stayed). 

        SECTION
4.18.    No Default.    No Event of Default or, to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, Default exists under
or with respect to any Loan Document and the Borrower is not in default in any material
respect beyond any applicable grace period under or with respect to any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound in any
respect, the existence of which default is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

59

 

        SECTION
4.19.    Licenses, etc.    The Borrower has obtained and does hold in full force and effect, all franchises,
licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, accreditation, easements, rights of way and other consents and approvals which are necessary for the operation of its businesses as
presently conducted, the absence of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.20.    Compliance With Law.    To the Borrower's knowledge, the Borrower and each of its assets are in
compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, judgments, writs and decrees, the failure to comply with which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.21.    No Burdensome Restrictions.    Except as may have been disclosed by the Borrower in writing to the
Banks prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any other obligation or any charter or corporate or partnership restriction, as the case may
be, which, individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        SECTION
4.22.    Brokers' Fees.    The Borrower has not dealt with any broker or finder with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and the Borrower has not done any act, had any negotiations or conversation, or made any agreements or

the Administrative Agent. 

        SECTION

customary deductibles) in respect of each of its Real Property Assets, as well as commercial general liability insurance (including, without limitation, "builders' risk" where applicable) against
claims for personal, and bodily injury and/or death, to one or more persons, or property damage, as
well as workers' compensation insurance, in each case with respect to liability and casualty insurance with insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders' rating of not less than

of any of them.

or before maturity, all their respective material obligations and liabilities including,
without limitation, any such material obligations pursuant to any agreement by which it or any of its properties is bound, in each case where the failure to so pay or discharge such obligations or

all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of governmental authorities (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and all zoning and
building codes with respect to its Real Property Assets and ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder and all federal securities laws) except where the necessity of compliance therewith is
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to do so will not have a Material Adverse Effect or expose Administrative Agent or Banks to any material liability therefor.

account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities in conformity with GAAP, modified as required by this

information could not result in a violation of, or expose the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any material liability under, any applicable law, ordinance or regulation or any agreements with
unaffiliated third parties that are binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, to examine and make abstracts from any of its books and records and to discuss its affairs, finances and

Consolidated
Subsidiaries' existence and its patents, trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames, copyrights, franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, accreditation,

proceeds used within thirty (30) days after the issuance giving rise to such Net Offering Proceeds to redeem, retire or repurchase ownership or equity interests in Borrower, up to the amount
paid by Borrower in connection with such redemption, retirement or repurchase, where, for the avoidance of doubt, the net effect is that Borrower shall not have increased its Net Worth as a result of
any such proceeds) received by the Borrower subsequent to the Closing Date. 

        (b)    Total Liabilities to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.    As of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, the ratio

        SECTION
6.2.    Rights and Remedies.    (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections
6.1(f) or (g), the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations
hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without presentation, demand, or protest or other requirements of
any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower for itself; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Banks, may (and upon the
demand of the Required Banks shall), by written notice to the Borrower, in addition to the exercise of all of the rights and remedies permitted the Administrative Agent and the Banks at law or equity
or under any of the other Loan Documents, declare that the Commitments are terminated and declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and
all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and (except as
otherwise provided in the Loan Documents) without presentation, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment,
notice of intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower for itself. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent and the Banks each agree that any exercise
or enforcement of the rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under this Agreement or at law or in equity with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall
be commenced and maintained solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall act at the direction of the Required Banks in
connection with the exercise of any and all remedies at law, in equity or under any of the Loan Documents or, if the Required Banks are unable to reach agreement, then, from and after an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may pursue such rights and remedies as it may determine. 

        SECTION
6.3.    Notice of Default.    The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under
Section 6.1(c) and 6.1(d) promptly upon being requested to do so by the Required Banks and shall thereupon notify all the Banks thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless Administrative Agent has received notice in writing
from a Bank or Borrower referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such event or condition. Should Administrative Agent receive notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event
of Default expressly stating 

71

 

that
such notice is a notice of a Default or Event of Default, or should Administrative Agent send Borrower a notice of Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to each Bank. 

        SECTION
6.4.    Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit.    (a) If, at any time and from time to time, any
Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Banks, may, and upon the demand of the Required Banks shall, whether in addition to the taking by the Administrative Agent of any of the actions
described in this Article or otherwise, make a demand upon the Borrower (although no such demand shall be required if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 6.1(f) or (g) shall occur) to, and
forthwith upon such demand (but in any event within ten (10) days after such demand) (or automatically without such demand upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 6.1(f)
or (g)) the Borrower shall, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent's office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special cash
collateral account (the "Letter of Credit Collateral Account") to be maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Banks) and
under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit Usage under the Letters of Credit. Interest
shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds. 

        (b)   The
Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Banks a lien on and a
security interest in, the following collateral (the "Letter of Credit Collateral"): 

        (i)    the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account; 

        (ii)   all
notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of
the Borrower in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; 

        (iii)  all
interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or
all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and 

        (iv)  to
the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral. 

72

 

The
lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 

        (c)   The
Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account and for so long as an Event of Default has occurred and in continuing, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order
as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Banks in respect of the Letters of Credit. 

        (d)   Neither
the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 6.4(h) hereof. 

        (e)   The
Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any
lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 6.4. 

        (f)    If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 

        (i)    The
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or
otherwise apply all or any part of first, (x) amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower and
(y) any Letter of Credit Usage described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof that are then due and payable and second, any other
unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. The rights of the Administrative
Agent under this Section 6.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Bank may have. 

        (ii)   The
Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies
provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time. 

        (g)   The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which 

73

 

the
Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto. 

        (h)   At
such time as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned
to the Borrower. Absent such cure or written waiver, any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the
Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the Maturity Date shall be paid promptly to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 

        SECTION
6.5.    Distribution of Proceeds after Default.    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
from and after an Event of Default, to the extent proceeds are received by Administrative Agent, such proceeds will be distributed to the Banks pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount
of the Loans (giving effect to any participations granted therein pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 9.6). 

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS; CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO THE LENDERS  

        SECTION
7.1.    Appointment and Authorization.    Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 7.8 hereof, the provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of
Administrative Agent and the Banks, and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement,
Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Banks and will not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the
Borrower. 

        SECTION
7.2.    Agency and Affiliates.    JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank of America, N.A. each has the same rights and
powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, and JPMorgan
Chase Bank and Bank of America, N.A. and each of their affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate
of the Borrower as if they were not the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, hereunder, and the 

74

 

term
"Bank" and "Banks" shall include each of JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank of America, N.A., each in its individual capacity. 

        SECTION
7.3.    Action by Agents.    The obligations of each of the Agents hereunder are only those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Agents shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly
provided in Article VI. The duties of each Agent shall be administrative in nature. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.6, each Agent shall administer the Loans in the same
manner as each administers its own loans. 

        SECTION
7.4.    Consultation with Experts.    As between Administrative Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the
other hand, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall
not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

        SECTION
7.5.    Liability of Agents.    As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of
the Agents nor any of their affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks
on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the
Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent, or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none
of the Agents shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to
be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. 

        SECTION
7.6.    Indemnification.    Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Agents
and the named "Managing Agents" and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including,
without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee
may suffer or incur in connection 

75

 

with
its duties as Agent or "Managing Agent" under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that any Agent shall, subsequent
to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such
indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. Each Agent shall reimburse
such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor. 

        SECTION
7.7.    Credit Decision.    Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement. 

        SECTION
7.8.    Successor Agent.    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the
Banks, the Borrower and each other, and the Administrative Agent shall resign in the event its Commitment (without giving effect to any Participants) is reduced to less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction in the aggregate Commitments. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to Borrower's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Required Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by Required Banks or the retiring
Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.
The rights and duties of the Administrative Agent to be vested in any 

76

 

successor
Administrative Agent shall include, without limitation, the rights and duties as Swingline Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the
Banks (excluding for such determination Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bank), Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior
written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent, in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.8. 

        SECTION
7.9.    Consents and Approvals.    All communications from Administrative Agent to the Banks requesting the
Banks' determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item
as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to
be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Bank and to the extent not previously provided to such Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to
Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative
Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof). Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor
from Administrative Agent (the "Bank Reply Period"). With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Banks, or all the Banks,
Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or
consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Required Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be. 

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES  

        SECTION
8.1.    Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.    If on or prior to the first day of any
Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing or Money Market IBOR Loan the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being
offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. In such event unless the
Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd) Euro-Dollar Business Day before, but 

77

   
excluding, the date of (i) any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall
instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing, or (ii) any Money Market IBOR Borrowing for which a Notice of Money Market Borrowing has previously been given, the Money Market IBOR Loans comprising
such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day. 

        SECTION
8.2.    Illegality.    If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) (x) to make,
maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans, or (y) to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank, or, with respect to the Fronting Bank, to issue a Letter of
Credit, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event described in clause (x) above to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or in the
case of the event described in clause (y) above, to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank or, with respect to the Fronting Bank, to issue any Letter of Credit, shall
be suspended. With respect to Euro-Dollar Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different
Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise commercially disadvantageous
to such Bank. 

        If
at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days'
notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such
Bank's outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts due to such Bank are concurrently therewith paid in full to such Bank, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to
repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees and other amounts due hereunder, upon which event, such Bank's Commitments shall be
deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(e). 

78

 

        SECTION
8.3.    Increased Cost and Reduced Return.    

        (a)   If,
on or after (x) the date hereof in the case of Committed Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1, or (y) the date of the related Money Market Quote
(in each case, the "Loan Effective Date"), in the case of any Money Market Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change
in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing
Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage)),
special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose
on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the Loan
Effective Date affecting such Bank's Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank
(or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office)
under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans, by an amount reasonable determined by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by
such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the
Euro-Dollar Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other
borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances. 

        (b)   If
any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any
change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below
that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
reasonably deemed by such Bank to be 

79

 

material,
then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances. 

        (c)   Each
Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such
Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within ninety
(90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower's liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event
shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower fo
the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to
it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

        (d)   If
at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day's notice to
the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to
such Bank's outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to
purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with
interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank's Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(e). 

        SECTION
8.4.    Taxes.    

        (a)   Any
and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case
of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the 

80

 

jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its
income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United States, except to the extent that such
connection would not have arisen but for entering into the transactions contemplated hereby (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Non-Excluded Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any
Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank, the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

        (b)   In
addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise
from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or the Letter of Credit or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or the Letter of Credit
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes"). 

        (c)   In
the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the Closing Date are imposed, or Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date increase, the
applicable Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following receipt of knowledge thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower's liability for such additional
Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event (including payment of a make-whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be limited to those
attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such
event. 

        (d)   The
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank, the Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes 

81

 

imposed
or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) paid by such Bank, the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and, so long as such
Bank, the Fronting Bank or Administrative Agent has promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank, the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor. 

        (e)   Each
Bank or Administrative Agent that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Bank and Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each
other Bank or Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered to Borrower. Each Bank and Administrative Agent that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes
a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as applicable to such Bank or Administrative Agent, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide Borrower
with two further copies of any such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to Borrower. A Bank that provides copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and that is legally entitled to claim the portfolio interest
exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), shall further provide Borrower with, together
with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a written confirmation of its entitlement to such exemption. To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank shall
properly claim that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of, or eliminates, withholding tax on payments of interest
hereunder. A Bank that is not a United States person and that grants a participating interest in a Loan or Commitment to any other person shall provide, in addition to its own forms specified above,
Borrower with two duly completed copies of the Internal Revenue Service form applicable to such other person, each under the cover of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and a
withholding statement prepared in the manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms and/or certificates that it is legally entitled to provide evidencing such participant's
entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction in the 

82

 

rate
of U.S. withholding tax, and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such forms and statements on or before the date any such forms or statements expire or become obsolete and after
the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or statement previously delivered to Borrower. If a Bank fails to timely and properly provide or update such forms or statements
or if the form or statement provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, then backup withholding
or withholding tax resulting from the foregoing shall be considered excluded from "Non-Excluded Taxes" as defined in Section 8.4(a). 

        (f)    Upon
reasonable demand by, and at the expense of, Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver
to the Borrower, or to such government or taxing authority as the Borrower may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow the
Borrower to make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the
legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower making such demand
and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification. 

        (g)   For
any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to (and to the extent required by)Section 8.4(e)
(unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 8.4(d) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or
subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such
Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so long as Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof. 

        (h)   If
the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will 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. 

        (i)    If
at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 or the obligation of such Bank of make Euro-Dollar Loans has been
suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, in any such case, the Borrower shall have 

83

 

the
right, upon five (5) Business Day's notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to
purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank's outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain
the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all
Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank's Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to
Section 2.11(e). 

        SECTION
8.5.    Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans.    If (i) the
obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with
respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of
this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist: 

        (a)   Borrower
shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Euro-Dollar Loans and thereafter all Loans which
would otherwise be made by such Bank to the Borrower as Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans; and 

        (b)   after
each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans
shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead, and 

        (c)   Borrower
will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.14 with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans converted
to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

        SECTION
9.2.    No Waivers.    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

        SECTION
9.3.    Expenses; Indemnification.    

        (a)   The
Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP), in
connection with any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel
in connection with the syndication of the Loans, and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and

is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable and invoiced non-duplicative fees and disbursements of (A) counsel for Administrative Agent and
(B) counsel for all of the Banks as a group; and provided, further, that all other costs and expenses for which Borrower is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to
the reasonable and invoiced non-duplicative costs and expenses of Administrative Agent). For purposes of this subsection 9.3(a)(iii), (1) counsel for Administrative Agent shall mean
a single outside law firm 

85

  

representing
Administrative Agent and (2) counsel for all of the Banks as a group shall mean a single outside law firm representing such Banks as a group (which law firm may or may not be the
same law firm representing the Administrative Agent). 

        (b)   The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the
foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any
kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be asserted against any Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any
way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document, (ii) any violation by the
Borrower or the Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or
assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities of Borrower or any Environmental Affiliate
involving Materials of Environmental Concern, (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, but excluding those liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses (a) for which such Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith
or fraud of such Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) arising from any violation of Environmental Law relating to a Property, which violation is caused by
the act or omission of such Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes possession of such Property or (d) owing by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon contractual obligations of such
Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 9.3(b) in favor of any director,
officer, agent or employee of Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower's obligations under this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3, Borrower shall indemnify and hold
each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and damages
(including consequential damages) that the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer or incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited
transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach of the
provisions, set forth in Section 4.6(b). 

86

 

        SECTION
9.4.    Sharing of Set-Offs.    In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from
time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but subject to the prior consent
of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all
interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it or Letter of Credit participated in by it or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, Letter of Credit issued by it, which
is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such
participations in the Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans made by
the Banks or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise
any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness
of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans or the Letters of Credit. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a
participation in a Commitment, a Loan or a Letter of Credit, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights
with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank
under this Section 9.4. 

        SECTION
9.5.    Amendments and Waivers.    Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or the Letters of Credit or
other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender in their capacity as Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, are affected thereby, by the Adminis- 

87

 

trative
Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable); provided that (A) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document
shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or
interest on any Loan or any
fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iii) change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the
Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, or (iv) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5, (B) no amendment or waiver
of the provisions of Section 2.13(a) (as it relates to the Borrower's payment of Loans and fees hereunder by not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due) shall be
binding upon a Designating Lender as to any Money Market Loans then outstanding unless signed by such Designating Lender, and (C) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject to any Bank of any additional obligation unless
signed by such Bank. 

        SECTION
9.6.    Successors and Assigns.    

        (a)   The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that
(i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative
Agent and (ii) a Bank may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsection (b) and (c) of this Section 9.6. 

        (b)   Prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to a then existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof, one or more banks, finance companies,
insurance companies or other financial institutions or trusts (a "Participant") participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a
"Participant"), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of
Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide
that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or 

88

 

waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of
this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 9.5(A) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to
the extent provided in its
participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. 

        (c)   Any
Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution (in each case, an "Assignee") (i) prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default, in minimum amounts of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) thereafter (or any lesser amount in
the case of assignments to an existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof or in the case of an assignment of a Bank's entire Commitment) and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Assignee
shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit "E" hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank; provided, that if
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent's, the Fronting Bank's (if a Person other than the Administrative Agent) and the
Borrower's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided further that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank or Affiliate thereof
immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be required from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank; and provided further that such assignment may, but need not,
include rights of the transferor Bank in respect of outstanding Money Market Loans. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount
equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a
Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a
corresponding extent. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so
that, if requested or required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee upon the return to the Borrower of the old Note, if any, marked "cancelled". In connection with any such assignment (other than an
assignment by a Bank to an affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not
organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding
of any United States federal income taxes in accor- 

89

 

dance
with Section 8.4. Any assignment made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be invalidated by any subsequent cure of such Event of Default. 

        (d)   Any
Bank (each, a "Designating Lender") may at any time designate one Designated Lender to fund Money Market Loans on
behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this Section 9.6(d) and the provisions in Section 9.6(b) and (c) shall not apply to such designation. No Bank may
designate more than one (1) Designated Lender at any one time. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation
Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent
will accept such Designation Agreement and will give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon, (i) the Borrower shall, if requested, execute and deliver to the Designating Lender a
Designated Lender Note payable to the order of the Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party
to this Agreement with a right (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4) to make Money Market Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to the Designation Agreement after the Borrower
has accepted a Money Market Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this
Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; provided,
however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks for
each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under
Section 7.6 hereof and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrower by the Designated Lender. Each Designating Lender shall serve as the administrative agent of the Designated Lender and shall on
behalf of, and to the exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and
notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any such
notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as administrative agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the
Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be binding upon the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Banks may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same. No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender.

        (e)   Any
Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note and the Letter(s) of Credit participated in by such Bank or, in the
case of the Fronting Bank, issued by it, to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. 

        (f)    No
Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank's rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Borrower's prior written consent or (ii) by reason of the provisions of
Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater
payment did not exist. 

        (g)   No
Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to further assign less than all of such rights and obligations. No Participant in any
rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations. 

        (h)   Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall be permitted to enter
into an assignment of, or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in such Bank holding a Commitment without participants of less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate Commitments; provided, however, that no Bank shall be prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as
such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Section 9.6. 

        (i)    The
Administrative Agent shall maintain on behalf of Borrower a register of principal and interest with respect to each Loan and Commitment. 

        SECTION
9.7.    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency.    (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW). 

        (b)   Any
legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought
in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case, which are located in New York County, and, by execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and 

91

 

unconditionally,
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself, to the service of process out
of
any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address
set forth below its signature hereto. The Borrower hereby, for itself, irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or
claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction. 

        (c)   If
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to
the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency
could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. 

        (d)   The
parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower to make payments in any currency of
the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or
satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 9.8(c)), in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the
extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed
to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will
convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the
purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and
(iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement. 

        SECTION
9.8.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.    This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the 

92

 

same
instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the
Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party). 

        SECTION
9.9.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.    EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

        SECTION

Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder. 

        SECTION

carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank. 

        SECTION
9.12.    Limitation of Liability.    No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person acting by or
through Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Bank or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of them for any punitive damages in
respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Loan Documents, or any act,
omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known
or suspected to exist in its favor. 

        SECTION
9.13.    Recourse Obligation.    This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against any officer, director, shareholder or
employee of the Borrower, except in the event of fraud or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee. 

        SECTION
9.14.    Confidentiality.    Each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead

Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Fronting Bank and each Bank shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) only to such of its
