QUOTA SHARE RETROCESSION AGREEMENT 
(the
“Agreement”)

Between 

MULTI-STRAT RE LTD., a special purpose insurer incorporated
in Bermuda
(the “Retrocedent”, hereinafter referred to as
“MSRE”)

And 

RESOURCE RE LTD., a Class 3A insurer incorporated in
Bermuda
(the “Retrocessionaire”, hereinafter referred to as “PRe”)

(MSRE and PRe are individually referred to hereinafter as
a
“Party” and collectively as the “Parties”) 

RECITALS 

	A. 	
      MSRE, as the Retrocedent, intends to retrocede to PRe, as
      the Retrocessionaire, a specified quota share portion of certain insurance
      and reinsurance business that MSRE assumes from other insurance and/or
      reinsurance companies or binding quotations in the market that meet the
      criteria for business that may be retroceded to PRe in accordance with the
      terms and conditions of this Agreement, in particular, the specifications
      provided to MSRE by PRe in Appendix A hereto (the “MSRE
    Assumptions”).

	 	 
	B. 	
      The Parties intend that MSRE will bear no credit or
      insurance risk, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and PRe
      will hold harmless and indemnify MSRE solely for PRe’s proportionate share
      of the MSRE Assumptions, as set forth in this Agreement.

	 	 
	C. 	
      The Parties intend that MSRE’s services under this
      Agreement will permit the Original Policies to be reinsured by MSRE
      pursuant to the agreements between MSRE and the Cedents (the “Cedent
      Reinsurance Agreement”), with MSRE then retroceding a portion of such
      Cedent Reinsurance Agreements to PRes as the MSRE Assumptions, in exchange
      for which MSRE will receive the MSRE Retrocession Commission and, as
      applicable, an Underwriting Performance Incentive, and will remit the
      Ceded Net Written Premium to PRe.

1 

	D. 	
      Appendix B hereto sets forth the definitions of certain
      terms used in this Agreement. Appendices A and B hereto are integral parts
      of this Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual covenants contained and on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 - BUSINESS COVERED 

MSRE retrocedes and PRe assumes the MSRE Assumptions during the
Agreement Year, as determined by MSRE in in accordance with the specifications
provided by PRe in Appendix A (the “Business Covered”), which Business Covered
is automatically binding on PRe without any further action by PRe except as
expressly provided in this Agreement and Appendix A hereto. 

ARTICLE 2 – COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION 

	A. 	
      This Agreement will be continuous and will take effect at
      12:01 A.M., Atlantic Time, July 1, 2014, and will apply to the Business
      Covered from the inception date of this Agreement through to June 30, 2015
      (the “Agreement Year”), and will remain in effect continuously until MSRE
      has fully performed it obligations thereunder.

	 	 	 
	B. 	
      PRe’s liability will commence simultaneously with that of
      MSRE, on a “Policies Attaching” basis, meaning that coverage applies as
      respects each Original Policy assumed by MSRE pursuant to a Cedent
      Reinsurance Agreement written or renewed on or after the inception date of
      this Agreement and prior to the date of Termination of this Agreement.
      This Agreement will apply to the Original Policy term, including the
      run-off period. Coverage provided under this Agreement will follow the
      same terms and conditions of the applicable Original Policy.

	 	 	 
	C. 	
      After the Agreement Year, this Agreement is renewable
      with the prior written consent of both Parties on an annual basis, and
      will remain in force until all risks associated with the Business Covered
      are (i) off-risk (meaning that there are no longer any obligations owed to
      the Cedent) or (ii) included in a commutation and/or loss portfolio
      transfer agreement executed between MSRE and PRe or between such other
      parties as the Parties may agree in writing.

	 	 	 
	D. 	
      In the event that any of the following circumstances
      occur, either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving
      thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party (any such event,
      either on an individual basis or in concert with one or more such events,
      is referred to herein as a “Termination Event”):

	 	 	 
		(i) 	
      Either Party fails to make payment of any undisputed
      Balance under this Agreement when due, and fails to remit any such overdue
      payment within sixty (60) days of the due date of such
  payment.

2 

		(ii) 	
      A regulatory or other legal authority (a) orders either
      Party to cease writing, or renewing, insurance business, in total, or (b)
      withdraws, suspends, removes, makes conditional, or impairs either Party's
      respective right, or ability, to retrocede or assume the Business Covered,
      in total, under this Agreement.

	 	 	 
		(iii) 	
      Either Party merges or amalgamates with or becomes
      acquired or controlled directly or indirectly by any company, corporation,
      partnership, or individual(s) not controlling their respective operations
      at the inception of this Agreement (an acquisition or change in control
      will only have occurred if a person unaffiliated with the applicable Party
      directly or indirectly acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting
      shares of such Party, or of any person owning or controlling such Party,
      or of shares convertible into fifty percent (50%) or more of such voting
      shares).

	 	 	 
		(iv) 	
      Either Party becomes insolvent or has been placed into
      liquidation or receivership (whether voluntary or involuntary) or
      proceedings have been instituted against such Party for the appointment of
      a receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator, conservator or trustee in
      bankruptcy, or other agent known by whatever name, to take possession of
      their respective assets or the control of their respective
    operations.

	 	 	 
		(v) 	
      Either Party fails to comply with Bermuda laws and
      regulations in a material respect, resulting in material economic harm to
      the other Party.

	 	 	 
		(vi) 	
      Any of the respective directors, officers, employees,
      and/or Agents of either Party acts, individually or in collusion with
      another party, in a manner that rises to the level of alleged or willful
      negligence, fraud, or bad faith with respect to any of the terms and
      conditions of this Agreement.

	 	 	 
	E. 	
      In addition to the Termination Events specified in
      Article 2(D), PRe may also terminate this Agreement at any time, by giving
      advance written notice to MSRE, in the event that MSRE ceases to
      underwrite the Business Covered and/or adjust claims as regards the
      Original Policy risks pursuant to this Agreement that results in
      significant loss or exposure to PRe.

	 	 	 
	F. 	
      The termination of this Agreement pursuant to a
      Termination Event or in accordance with a Termination, as specified in
      Article 2E above, may only be effected on a run-off, commutation, or, as
      specified in Article 2D above, loss portfolio transfer basis, as agreed to
      in writing by the Parties.

	 	 	 
	G. 	
      For purposes of this Article, the term “run-off” means
      that PRe will continue to be liable for losses occurring or claims made on
      or after the effective date of Termination in respect of risks attaching
      prior to the effective date of Termination.

	 	 	 
	H. 	
      No Termination will permit PRe to avoid, reduce, or
      eliminate exposures set forth under the Original Policies already
      underwritten by MSRE and assumed, in part, by PRe.

 3 

	I. 	
      Collateral pledged by PRe cannot be reduced as a result
      of a Termination unless agreed to in writing by the Parties.

	 	 
	J. 	
      MSRE’s authority to quote or cede new contracts of
      Business Covered to PRe will cease as of the date that MSRE receives
      written notice from PRe of PRe’s intent to terminate this Agreement on the
      basis of a Termination Event under Article 2(D) or Article 2(E). However,
      PRe is obligated to accept its proportionate share of any business ceded
      to PRe from the acceptance of binding quotations issued by MSRE prior to
      MSRE’s receipt of any such notice of PRE’s intention to terminate this
      Agreement.

ARTICLE 3 - COVER 

	A. 	
      MSRE will cede and PRe will accept by way of reinsurance
      under this Agreement a proportionate share of MSRe's liability in each
      Original Policy as assumed by MSRE pursuant to the Cedent Reinsurance
      Agreements in accordance with Appendix A.

	 	 
	B. 	
      MSRE Assumptions, and PRe’s respective quota share
      portion thereof, are to be structured to be consistent with the terms of
      the Original Policies as regards to whether Losses are to be recognized on
      a “claims made basis” and/or on a “claims occurrence basis”.

	 	 
	C. 	
      MSRE’s retrocession to PRe of the Business Covered is
      subject to the same terms and conditions that, among other things, include
      the limits specified in each Original Policy and that, consequently, are
      included in any such retrocession to PRe. Unless required by law, in no
      event are the terms and contents of this Article to be construed in any
      way to provide coverage outside of the terms and conditions set forth in
      the Original Policies and/or in this Agreement.

	 	 
	D. 	
      PRe’s obligations under this Agreement are on a several
      basis and are, at all times, limited to the portion of the MSRE
      Assumptions that PRe has assumed pursuant to this Agreement. PRe has no
      liability arising out of the actions or inactions of MSRE’s other
      Retrocessionaires.

ARTICLE 4 - TERRITORY 

The territory covered by this Agreement will follow the
Original Policies. 

ARTICLE 5 - EXCLUSIONS 

This Agreement specifically excludes all business listed as
Exclusions under the Original Policies, unless otherwise defined in the Original
Policies or the Cedent Reinsurance Agreement. 

 4 

ARTICLE 6 - DEFINITIONS 

Capitalized terms not defined elsewhere in this Agreement are
defined in Appendix B hereto and is an integral part of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 7 - PREMIUM 

MSRE will remit to PRe a percentage of the Ceded Net Written
Premium equal to PRe’s participation percentage in each Original Policy, which
percentage will be determined in accordance with Appendix A. 

ARTICLE 8 – MSRE RETROCESSION COMMISSION AND UNDERWRITING
INCENTIVE 

	A. 	
      For the reinsurance business assumed by PRe from MSRE
      under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, PRe authorizes MSRE to
      deduct from the Ceded Net Written Premium a retrocession commission
      payable to MSRE of [***Confidential Treatment Requested***] of the Gross Written Premium for each Cedent Reinsurance Agreement written or renewed under this Agreement (the
      “MSRE Retrocession Commission”).

	 	 
	B. 	
      PRe will pay MSRE a performance incentive (the
      “Underwriting Performance Incentive”) when PRe’s underwriting results are
      less than [***Confidential Treatment Requested***] (the “Ultimate Combined
      Ratio Benchmark”). The Underwriting Performance Incentive will be
      [***Confidential Treatment Requested***] of Ultimate Combined Ratio
      Benchmark less MSRE Retrocession Commission less the Ultimate Combined
      Ratio. The Underwriting Performance Incentive is payable on the
      expiration, or commutation, of the related Original Policies underlying
      the MSRE Assumptions assumed pursuant to the Cedent Reinsurance
      Agreements.

ARTICLE 9 – ACCOUNTS, REPORTS, AND REMITTANCES

	A. 	
      For purposes of this Article, and this Article only, all
      references to MSRE are deemed to include “MSRE and/or its
  Agents.”

	 	 	 
	B. 	
      Within forty-five (45) days following the end of each
      month, as regards the Business Covered, MSRE will provide PRe with a
      written report that includes the following information, which report may
      include estimates where definitive information is not available, by line
      of business, for that preceding month:

	 	 	 
		(i) 	
      Ceded Net Written Premium;

	 	 	 
		(ii) 	
      Ceding Commissions;

	 	 	 
		(iii) 	
      paid Loss and Loss Adjusted
Expense;

 5 

	 	(iv) 	
      Profit Commissions;

	 	 	 
	 	(v) 	
      MSRE Retrocession Commissions;

	 	 	 
	 	(vi) 	
      reserves for outstanding loss;

	 	 	 
	 	(vii) 	
      reserves for outstanding Loss Adjusted Expense;

	 	 	 
	 	(viii) 	
      reserves for unearned premium; and

	 	 	 
	 	(ix) 	
      the balance of the subparagraph (i) less subparagraph
      (ii) less subparagraph (iii) less subparagraph (iv) less subparagraph (v)
      (the “Balance”).

	C. 	
      Within forty-five (45) days following the end of each
      month, each Party will remit to the other Party any Balance due. If the
      Balance is due to PRe, MSRE will remit that Balance within forty-five (45)
      days following the end of the month. If the Balance is due to MSRE, PRe
      will remit that Balance as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving
      and accepting the monthly report from MSRE, but not to exceed thirty (30)
      days following PRe's receipt of the monthly report from MSRE.

	 	 
	D. 	
      In addition to the reports referred to in Article 9(B),
      MSRE and/or the Agents of MSRE and its affiliates will provide PRe with
      the reports identified in Schedule II of the Master Services
    Agreement.

	 	 
	E. 	
      Quarterly and annually, MSRE will provide PRe with any
      other information that PRe may reasonably require for the completion of
      PRe’s financial statements and regulatory requirements, which data may be
      reasonably available to MSRE.

ARTICLE 10 – LOSS SETTLEMENTS 

	A. 	
      MSRE will advise PRe within seven (7) business days of
      all Losses that MSRE becomes aware of and may result in a Loss settlement
      and any subsequent developments with respect thereto under this Agreement
      that may materially and/or adversely affect the capital position of PRe.
      Such Loss reporting to PRe will include, but is not limited to, (i)
      incurred Losses of ten per cent (10%) or more of PRe’s capital position
      and (ii) any claims that may involve loss in excess of original policy
      limits (“XOPL”) and extra contractual obligations (“ECO”) settlements. Any
      inadvertent omission or oversight in providing such advice to PRe is in no
      way to affect the liability of PRe; however, when discovered, MSRE will
      notify PRe within three (3) business days of any such omission or
      oversight.

	 	 
	B. 	
      MSRE will have the right to settle all Loss-related
      claims under the Original Policies. However, when so requested by PRe,
      MSRE will afford PRe, at PRe’s own expense, to associate (although not
      control) with MSRE in the defense of any lawsuit or other
  litigation proceeding that involves the Business Covered by this
      Agreement, and MSRE and PRe will cooperate in every respect in any such
  defense.

 6 

	C. 	
      All valid Loss settlements payable to the Cedents and any
      related valid ALAE and ULAE payments made by MSRE, including any Ex-Gratia
      Settlements, are to be unconditionally binding on PRe solely in proportion
      to PRe’s quota share portion of the subject Original Policy, provided that
      such Loss settlements payable to the Cedents and ALAE and ULAE payments,
      are either made (i) within the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or
      (ii) in addition to coverage required by the terms and conditions of the
      Original Policy and this Agreement (the “Ex-Gratia Settlement”) solely for
      the purpose of reducing future liability in an amount greater than the
      Ex-Gratia Settlement.

	 	 
	D. 	
      PRe agrees to pay or allow, as the case may be, its share
      of each such settlement to be made in accordance with this Agreement
      within five (5) Business Days of receipt of proof of payment of any such
      settlement from MSRE. In connection with PRe’s obligations in respect of
      such payments, MSRE may request, and PRe agrees, to grant signing
      authority to MSRE to fulfill PRe’s obligations under this Agreement,
      should MSRE determine that such authority was necessary.

	 	 
	E. 	
      MSRE will deposit all salvage and subrogation recoveries,
      net of recovery cost, into the Premium Monies Account and credit PRe with
      PRe's proportionate retroceded share of those recoveries on all Business
      Covered Losses, ALAE, and ULAE. MSRE agrees to enforce MSRE’s and PRe’s
      salvage and subrogation rights and to pursue all claims that have the
      potential for any recoveries in excess of recovery costs related to those
      rights as regards the Business Covered.

	 	 
	F. 	
      At all times, MSRE will avoid circumstances and/or
      actions that could lead to XOPL or ECO claims. However, if an XOPL claim
      payment is imposed on MSRE by an arbitrator, regulator, or court of
      competent jurisdiction, then, consistent with this Article, PRe will pay
      its proportionate share of any such excess. PRe may subsequently pursue
      recovery from MSRE for any XOPL payment in the event that any such Loss
      has been incurred because of failure by MSRE, by reason of alleged or
      willful negligence, fraud, or bad faith, in (i) rejecting an offer of
      settlement within the Original Policy limit or, (ii) in the preparation of
      the defense or in the trial of any action against an Insured, or (iii) in
      the preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent to any such
      action.

	 	 
	G. 	
      The date on which any ECO is incurred will be deemed, in
      all circumstances, to be the date or dates of the original accident,
      casualty, disaster, or Loss Occurrence.

	 	 
	H. 	
      In the event that the Parties cannot agree on fault or
      payments as regards to any XOPL or ECO situation, any such matter will be
      resolved by Arbitration as set forth in this
Agreement.

ARTICLE 11 – PROFIT COMMISSION SETTLEMENTS 

 7 

Certain of the MSRE Assumptions may include a provision for a
“Cedent Profit Commission” to the Cedent based on a specified calculation
related to actual experience for the subject Original Policies. 

ARTICLE 12 - OFFSET 

The Parties may offset any balance or amount due from one Party
to the other under this Agreement, provided that this right to offset is limited
to only balances that arise from obligations provided for under the Original
Policies, the Cedent Reinsurance Agreements, or this Agreement, and may not be
construed as allowing any such offset against any balance or balances
attributable to any other agreement, transaction, or unrelated business
activity. In the event of insolvency of either the Party, any offset will only
be permitted in accordance with Bermuda Laws. 

ARTICLE 13 – NET RETAINED LIABILITY 

	A. 	
      All of the liabilities pursuant to the MSRE Assumptions
      will be fully-funded by the Retrocessionaire(s) and MSRE will not retain
      any liability to the Cedents with respect to the MSRE
  Assumptions.

	 	 
	B. 	
      The amount of PRe's liability hereunder in respect of any
      loss or losses will not be increased by reason of the inability of MSRE to
      collect from any other Retrocessionaire(s), whether specific or general,
      and/or any amounts that may have become due from such Retrocessionaire(s),
      whether such inability arises from the insolvency of such other
      Retrocessionaire(s) or from some other
circumstance.

ARTICLE 14 – COLLATERAL 

	A. 	
      PRe’s obligations under this Agreement are to be fully
      funded by having PRe place sufficient assets in a Custody Account
      (“Custody Account”) at CitiBank, or such other institution or with a
      trustee (the “Custodian”) as is otherwise agreed to by the Parties, which
      Custody Account will be funded at all times as is necessary to ensure that
      the obligations of PRe under this Agreement remain fully
      collateralized.

	 	 
	B. 	
      The Custody Account will be held by the Custodian for the
      sole benefit of PRe and will be used to collateralize Letters of Credit
      (“LOCs”) and/or set up a trust or trusts (the “Trust Arrangements”)
      required to secure PRe’s obligations pursuant to the Original Policy on
      the Business Covered under this Agreement. MSRE is expressly authorized to
      direct that the LOCs or the Trust Arrangements secured by the funds in the
      Custody Account be used to write the Business Covered in accordance with
      the terms set out in this Agreement.

	 	 
	C. 	
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      MSRE and PRe agree that any funding provided by PRe pursuant to the
      provisions of this Agreement may be drawn on at any time and that any such funding will be available to be
utilized, by operation of law, by MSRE or any MSRE successor, including without
limitation, any liquidator, rehabilitator, receiver, or conservator to: 

 8 

	 	(i) 	
      reimburse MSRE for PRe’s Loss obligations under the terms
      and provisions of this Agreement and the Original Policies that are due
      and have not been otherwise paid by PRe;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      make refunds of any sums that are in excess of the actual
      amount required to pay the PRe’s Loss obligations under the terms of this
      Agreement; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      pay PRe’s share of any other amounts that are due under
      this Agreement.

	D. 	
      If the amount so drawn down by MSRE is in excess of the
      actual amount required to satisfy the requirements of Paragraph A of this
      Article, then MSRE will immediately return to the Custody Account the
      excess amount so drawn. All of the foregoing provisions of this Article
      will be applied without diminution because of insolvency on the part of
      MSRE or PRe.

	 	 
	E. 	
      The issuing bank(s) of the LOCs or the trustee in the
      Trust Arrangements will have no responsibility whatsoever in connection
      with the propriety of withdrawals made by MSRE or the disposition of funds
      withdrawn, except to ensure that any and all withdrawals are made only on
      the order of properly authorized representatives of MSRE.

	 	 
	F. 	
      PRe will be responsible for all costs, disbursements, and
      expenses that are directly associated with the LOCs, the Trust
      Arrangements, and the Custody Account.

Upon termination of this Agreement, the amounts in the Custody
Account will be adjusted quarterly for the business written under the terms of
this Agreement until all of the liabilities of PRe are extinguished, at which
point any remaining amounts in the Custody Account will be returned to PRe and
the LOCs and/or the Trust Arrangements will be cancelled. 

ARTICLE 15 – FOLLOW THE SETTLEMENTS 

PRe’s liability will attach simultaneously with that of MSRE
and is subject in all respects to the same risks, terms, conditions,
interpretations, Cedent Profit Commission arrangements, waivers, modifications,
alterations, and cancellation provisions included in the Original Policies and
the Cedent Reinsurance Agreements. Accordingly, in every case to which this
Agreement applies and in the MSRE Assumption specified herein, the intent of
this Agreement is that PRe’s obligations will follow the underwriting
fortunes and settlements of MSRE as related to MSRE’s participation in the
Original Policies pursuant to the Cedent Reinsurance Agreements.

ARTICLE 16 - ACCESS TO RECORDS 

 9 

	A. 	
      Subject to any restrictions in the Original Policies or
      the Cedent Reinsurance Agreements, PRe or its duly authorized
      representatives will, after giving five (5) working days’ prior notice,
      have the right to visit the offices of MSRE in Bermuda during regular
      business hours to inspect, examine, audit, and verify any of the Original
      Policies, accounting or claim files (“Records”) that relate to PRe’s
      proportional share of the MSRE Assumptions, and all of the papers and
      documents in the possession of MSRE and all of MSRE’s affiliates, MSRE’s
      parent company(ies) and its (their) affiliates, and the Agents of those
      entities (e.g., any managing general agent, managing general underwriter,
      and/ or other third-party administrator) that relate, or refer, to the
      Business Covered.

	 	 
	B. 	
      Notwithstanding PRe’s rights as set forth in Article
      16(A), PRe is not to have any right of access to the Records of MSRE if
      PRe is not current in all undisputed payments due MSRE. As a condition
      precedent to access to the Records, PRe and its duly authorized
      representative will keep confidential all information and reports derived
      from the Records of MSRE to which it has received access and will not
      publish or communicate that information or report(s) to any other person
      or its own retrocessionaire without MSRE’s express prior written consent,
      except as set out in Article 16(D) or (i) when required by its own
      retrocessionaires, (ii) when PRe is subject to a lawful subpoena or other
      duly issued order of a court or other regulatory or governmental
      authority, after giving notice to MSRE and allowing MSRE to take
      appropriate protective measures, or (iii) when required by auditors, legal
      counsel, and/or arbitrators involved in any arbitration procedures under
      this Agreement.

	 	 
	C. 	
      MSRE reserves the right to withhold any documents from
      PRe (i) concerning trade secrets of MSRE, (ii) subject to the terms of a
      third-party non-disclosure agreement with MSRE requiring third-party
      consent to disclosure, (iii) subject to the work product privilege or
      attorney-client privilege related to a dispute between the Parties, or
      (iv) concerning individual private information that as a matter of law
      cannot be disclosed by MSRE (hereinafter referred to in this Agreement as
      “Privileged Documents”). MSRE will reasonably try to exempt PRe from any
      third-party non-disclosure agreement or obtain consent from the third
      party to disclose to PRe. If MSRE permits PRe access to any Privileged
      Documents referenced in (i) through (iv) of this Article 16(C), PRe agrees
      to sign the MSRE’s non-waiver agreement to preserve the confidential,
      proprietary, and/or privileged nature of such Privileged
  Documents.

	 	 
	D. 	
      Subject to legal, regulatory, and stock exchange
      requirements, including matters such as blackout and/or quiet periods,
      MSRE and PRe may refer to the existence of this Agreement and the nature
      of their business relationship, in print, electronic, or other form of
      media, publicity, letterheads, directories, marketing, advertising, and/or
      verbal communication with third parties (or permit another party to do so)
      without receiving written consent from the other Party. Both Parties will
      establish and maintain adequate records of any such activities as required
      by any and all applicable statutes and
regulations.

 10 

	E. 	
      During the course of this Agreement, MSRE and PRe may
      execute confidentiality agreements, including non-disclosure agreements,
      with prospective and actual reinsurance cedents or other third parties. No
      authority or right is afforded by this Agreement to either Party to
      disclose any information related to or set forth in any such
      confidentiality agreements without the prior written consent of the other
      Party to this Agreement.

	 	 
	F. 	
      MSRE will provide PRe with a copy of all Non-Standard
      Documentation within ten (10) business days of the receipt of any such
      documentation by MSRE.

ARTICLE 17 - ARBITRATION 

	A. 	
      As a precedent to any right of action hereunder, if any
      dispute should arise between MSRE and PRe with respect to or touching upon
      this Agreement, including, but not limited to, its interpretation,
      formation, and validity, or to their respective rights with respect to any
      transaction that involves both of the Parties, whether any such dispute
      arises before or after the termination of this Agreement, any such dispute
      will be resolved through arbitration with a three-person arbitration
      panel, pursuant to the written request of either Party. Any such
      arbitration panel will be comprised of three (3) arbitrators, one (1) to
      be chosen by each Party, and the third by the Parties jointly. If either
      Party refuses to, or neglects to, appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30)
      days after the receipt of written notice from the requesting Party that
      the other Party do so, the requesting Party may appoint two (2)
      arbitrators, who may appoint a third arbitrator. If the Parties fail to
      agree in the selection of a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of
      the appointment of the two (2) party-appointed arbitrators, then the third
      arbitrator will be appointed by the Appointments Committee of the
      Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Bermuda Branch). If that body fails to
      appoint an arbitrator within twenty-one (21) days of such request to them,
      then the appointment will be by the Supreme Court of Bermuda. All
      arbitration panel members are to be active or retired experienced
      professional service providers or executives who have extensive insurance
      or reinsurance experience and who have no conflicts of interest with the
      subject arbitration proceeding.

	 	 
	B. 	
      The arbitrators will interpret this Agreement and make
      their decision, and allocate arbitration-related costs, after giving
      consideration to the custom and usage of the insurance and reinsurance
      business.

	 	 
	C. 	
      A single signed decision by at least two (2) arbitrators
      (in the event that any third arbitrator refuses to sign), when filed with
      the Parties hereto, will be final and binding on both Parties. Based on
      the final decision of those arbitrators, judgment may be entered in any
      court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration undertaken with respect to this
      Agreement is to take place in Bermuda, unless some other venue is mutually
      agreed to, in writing, by MSRE and PRe.

	 	 
	D. 	
      Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the arbitration will
      be governed by the laws of Bermuda and the Bermuda International Conciliation and
Arbitration Act 1993 (exclusive of the Conciliation part of such Act, including
the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Model Law on
International Commercial Arbitration) and/or any statutory amendments or
reenactments thereof.

 11 

ARTICLE 18 - INSOLVENCY 

	A. 	
      This Article and the laws of Bermuda are to apply in the
      event of the insolvency of MSRE or PRe. In the event of any conflict
      between any provision of this Article and the laws of Bermuda, Bermuda
      laws are to prevail.

	 	 
	B. 	
      In the event of the insolvency of MSRE, the amounts due
      pursuant to this Agreement (or for the portion of any risk or obligation
      assumed by PRe, if required by applicable law) will be payable directly to
      MSRE, or to its liquidator, receiver, trustee, or statutory successor,
      either (i) on the basis of the liability of PRe to MSRE, or (ii) on the
      basis of claims that have been filed and allowed in any liquidation and/or
      receivership proceeding, whichever may be required by applicable law,
      without diminution because of the insolvency of MSRE or because the
      liquidator, receiver, trustee, or statutory successor of MSRE has failed
      to pay all or a portion of any claim that is attributable to PRe under the
      terms of this Agreement. However, it is agreed to by the Parties that MSRE
      will continue to give written notice to PRe of the pendency of any such
      claim against MSRE that is related to the Business Covered. Any such
      written notice that would involve a possible liability on the part of PRe
      will be provided to PRe within thirty (30) days after any such claim is
      filed in a receivership or liquidation proceeding. During the pendency of
      any such claim, PRe may (i) investigate any such claim, (ii) interpose in
      the proceeding where such claim will be adjudicated, and (iii) participate
      in, or direct, any defense or defenses that PRe may deem to be available
      to PRe, to MSRE, or to MSRE’s liquidator, receiver, or statutory
      successor, in each case subject to any necessary approval of the court of
      competent jurisdiction and/or an appropriate regulatory authority. Any
      expense incurred by PRe in any such endeavor will be chargeable, subject
      to the approval of the court of competent jurisdiction and/or an
      appropriate regulatory authority, against MSRE as part of the expense of
      liquidation or conservation to the extent of the pro rata share of the
      benefit that may be attributable to MSRE solely as a result of the
      investigation and/or defense undertaken by PRe.

	 	 
	C. 	
      Subject to Article 18(B), in the event that two (2) or
      more of the Retrocessionaires are involved in the same type of
      insolvency-related claim, and a majority in interest elect to interpose a
      defense to any such claim, that related expense will be apportioned among
      those Retrocessionaires in proportion to the collective liability exposure
      of those Retrocessionaires.

	 	 
	D. 	
      As to every retrocession ceded or renewed under this
      Agreement, the amounts payable for the subject retrocession are to be
      payable as set forth in this Article by PRe to MSRE or to the liquidator,
      receiver, trustee, or statutory successor, except where PRe, with the
      consent of the Original Insured(s), has assumed such Original Policy
      obligations of MSRE as direct obligations of PRe to the payees under such
      Original Policies and in substitution for the obligations of MSRE to such payees. Then, and in that event
only, MSRE, with the prior approval of such regulatory authority as may be
applicable, is entirely released from its obligations and rights to any and all
premiums, ceding commissions, and fees, and PRe will receive any and all
premiums, ceding commissions, and fees and pay any valid Loss due directly to
the payees pursuant to the Original Policy. 

 12 

ARTICLE 19 – GOVERNING LAW 

This Agreement, including all matters relating to formation,
validity, and performance thereof, will be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of Bermuda. 

ARTICLE 20 – CURRENCY 

Wherever the word “dollar” and/or the “$” symbol appear in this
Agreement or any Appendix hereto, they are to mean United States Dollars, unless
agreed to in writing by the Parties, provided that any non-US dollar denominated
MSRE Assumptions under this Agreement will follow the denomination of the
currency used in any such applicable MSRE Assumptions. 

ARTICLE 21 – TAXES 

	A. 	
      Each Party will be responsible to pay its own
    taxes.

	 	 
	B. 	
      If PRe is or becomes subject to premium tax, excise tax,
      or to any other insurance-related tax (hereinafter referred to as the
      “Tax”), in the United States, Canada, or elsewhere, PRe agrees to allow,
      for the purpose of having MSRE pay the Tax, MSRE to deduct from the
      subject premium collected the applicable percentage of the premium
      payable, or such other related calculated amount, pursuant to such Tax, to
      the extent that such premium is subject to the Tax to be paid.

	 	 
	C. 	
      In the event that PRe returns any premium to MSRE, PRe
      will deduct from the amount of the return premium the same Tax percentage
      as was allowed when the premium was received, and MSRE and/or its Agent
      will take all necessary actions to recover the Tax from the U.S.
      Government or other applicable jurisdictional tax body.

	 	 
	D. 	
      MSRE and PRe will notify the other Party within seven (7)
      business days of any tax inspection or audit related to the Business
      Covered and/or this Agreement, and the results of any such tax inspection
      or audit.

 13 

ARTICLE 22 – INDEMNIFICATION AND ERRORS AND
OMISSIONS 

	A. 	
      PRe is reinsuring, to the amount herein provided, and
      severally and not jointly with any other reinsurers of the Original
      Policy, the obligations of MSRE under the Original Policies pursuant to
      the Cedent Reinsurance Agreements. MSRE will
determine:

	 	(i) 	
      what constitutes a claim or Loss covered under any
      Original Policy assumed by MSRE;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      MSRE's liability thereunder; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      the amount or amounts that are proper for MSRE to pay
      thereunder.

	B. 	
      PRe will be bound by MSRE’s determination as to the
      obligation(s) and liability(ies) of MSRE under any Original
    Policies.

	 	 
	C. 	
      Any inadvertent error, omission, or delay of a clerical
      nature will not be held to relieve either Party from any liability that
      would attach to it hereunder if such error, omission, or delay had not
      been made, provided such error, omission, or delay is rectified
      immediately or as soon as possible upon discovery.

ARTICLE 23 – REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND
COVENANTS

Section 2. AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LOANS   2.1 Loans; Making of Loans; the Register; Optional Notes; Bid   Loans.   A. Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in   reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, each Lender   hereby severally agrees to make Revolving Loans as described in subsection 2.1A(i) and Swing   Line Lender hereby agrees to make the Swing Line Loans as described in subsection 2.1A(ii).  In   addition, Company may request Bid Loans as described in subsection 2.1A(iii).   (i) Revolving Loans.  Each Lender severally agrees, subject to the limitations   set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Revolving Loans permitted to be   outstanding from time to time, to make revolving loans (each such loan a “Revolving   Loan”) to Company from time to time during the period from the Restatement Closing   Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date in an   aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the   Revolving Loan Commitments to be used in accordance with the terms of this   Agreement.  The original amount of each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment is set   forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.1 annexed hereto and the original Revolving Loan   Commitment Amount is $500,000,000; provided that the amount of the Revolving Loan     

 

   26   Commitment of each Lender shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignment of such   Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to subsection 10.1B and shall be reduced from   time to time by the amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4.    There were no “Revolving Loans” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)   outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Restatement   Closing Date.  Each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the   Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and Company hereby agrees that all   Revolving Loans and all other Obligations shall be paid in full no later than that date.    Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(i) may be repaid and reborrowed to but   excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.   Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the   Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be subject to the limitation that in   no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the   Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect.   (ii) Swing Line Loans.   (a) General Provisions.  Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject to   the limitations set forth in the last paragraph of subsection 2.1A(ii) and set forth   below with respect to the maximum amount of Swing Line Loans permitted to be   outstanding from time to time, to make a portion of the Revolving Loan   Commitments available to Company from time to time during the period from the   Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination   Date by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not   exceeding the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the   purposes identified in subsection 2.5A, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing   Line Loans, when aggregated with Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving   Loans and Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage then   in effect, may exceed Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.  The   original amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment is $200,000,000; provided   that any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount made pursuant to   subsection 2.4 that reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to an   amount less than the then current amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment   shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the amount of the Swing   Line Loan Commitment to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment   Amount, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of Company,   Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Loan Commitment   shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Swing   Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line   Loans shall be paid in full no later than that date.   (b) Swing Line Loan Prepayment with Proceeds of Revolving Loans.    With respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by   Company pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), Swing Line Lender may, at any time in   its sole and absolute discretion but not less frequently than once weekly, deliver to   Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company), no later than 12:00 noon     

 

   27   (Minneapolis time) on the first Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding   Date, a notice requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate   Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing   Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such   notice is given.  Company hereby authorizes the giving of any such notice and the   making of any such Revolving Loans.  Anything contained in this Agreement to   the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by   Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by   Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to   repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the   day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the   Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a   Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and such portion of the Swing Line   Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans   and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any, of Swing Line   Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding   Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note, if any, of Swing   Line Lender.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to   Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Company from Swing   Line Lender in any bankruptcy proceeding, in any assignment for the benefit of   creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared   among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsection 10.5.   (c) Swing Line Loan Assignments.  On the Funding Date of each   Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, purchase   an assignment of such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share.    If for any reason (1) Revolving Loans are not made upon the request of Swing   Line Lender as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph in an amount   sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of such   Swing Line Loan or (2) the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated at a   time when such Swing Line Loan is outstanding, upon notice from Swing Line   Lender as provided below, each Lender shall fund the purchase of such   assignment in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (calculated, in the case of the   foregoing clause (2), immediately prior to such termination of the Revolving Loan   Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan together with   accrued interest thereon.  Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line   Lender, each Lender shall deliver to Swing Line Lender such amount in same day   funds at the Funding and Payment Office.  In order to further evidence such   assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment   provisions set forth above), each Lender agrees to enter into an Assignment   Agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably   satisfactory to Swing Line Lender.  In the event any Lender fails to make   available to Swing Line Lender any amount as provided in this paragraph, Swing   Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such   Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by Swing Line   Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and   thereafter at the Base Rate.  In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of     

 

   28   any amount with respect to which other Lenders have funded the purchase of   assignments as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall promptly   distribute to each such other Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment.   (d) Lenders’ Obligations.  Anything contained herein to the contrary   notwithstanding, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the   purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection   2.1A(ii)(b) and each Lender’s obligation to purchase an assignment of any unpaid   Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be   absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,   including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which   such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person   for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of   Default or a Potential Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the business,   operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of   Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other   Loan Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or   event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that   such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that (x) Swing Line   Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 4 to the making of   the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, as   the case may be, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or   unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or (y) the satisfaction of any such condition   not satisfied had been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6 prior to or at the   time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were   made.   (e) Other Arrangements. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,   the Company and the Swing Line Lender may agree from time to time upon   mutually satisfactory separate arrangements for the borrowing and funding of   Swing Line Loans.  Such provisions may include, among other things, the making   of Swing Line Loans through disbursements made from an automatic sweep   account, which Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be made upon the making   of such disbursements.   (f) Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary   contained in this subsection 2.1A(ii), Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to   make any Swing Line Loan at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting   Lender, unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements (which may   include Cash Collateralization) with Company or such Defaulting Lender which   are satisfactory to Swing Line Lender to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s Fronting   Exposure (after giving effect to subsection 2.11C) with respect to any such   Defaulting Lender.   (iii) Bid Loans.

Any Lender may   correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting a   corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the applicable   time required for submission of Competitive Bids.  Any such submission   of a corrected Competitive Bid shall constitute a revocation of the   Competitive Bid that contained the manifest error.  Administrative Agent   may, but shall not be required to, notify any Lender of any manifest error   it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.   (iv) Subject only to the provisions of subsections 2.6B, 2.6C   and 4.2 and subsection (iii) above, each Competitive Bid shall be   irrevocable.   (d) Notice to Company of Competitive Bids.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company   in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in   good faith to have been given by an Officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of   Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B or under subsection   2.2D, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the   applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to subsection   2.2D, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant to any such telephonic notice   Company shall have effected Loans or a conversion or continuation, as the case may be,   hereunder.   Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any Revolving   Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the   applicable Notice of Revolving Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable   Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans shall     

 

   33   constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to   which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Revolving Borrowing.   Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of   Revolving Borrowing for, or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or   continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable   on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to make   a borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.   C. Disbursement of Funds.  All Revolving Loans shall be made by Lenders   simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that   neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other   Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan requested hereunder nor shall   the amount of the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular Type of Loan requested be   increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s   obligation to make a Revolving Loan requested hereunder.  Promptly after receipt by   Administrative Agent of a Notice of Revolving Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1A (or   telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender for that Type of   Loan or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, of the proposed borrowing.  Each such Lender   (other than Swing Line Lender) shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to   Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the applicable Funding   Date, and Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to   Administrative Agent not later than 4:30 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the applicable Funding   Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the Funding and Payment Office.  Except as   provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to   repay Refunded Swing Line Loans or to reimburse any Issuing Lender for the amount of a   drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions   precedent specified in subsections 4.1 and 4.2, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of   such Revolving Loans available to Company on the applicable Funding Date by causing an   amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received   by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Company at the Funding   and Payment Office.   Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to a   Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the   amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative   Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on   such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be   obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date.  If such   corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender,   Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from   such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date   such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent   for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.    If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s   demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall   immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest     

 

   34   thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to   Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Nothing in   this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its   Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender   as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.   D. The Register.  Administrative Agent, acting for these purposes solely as   an agent of Company (it being acknowledged that Administrative Agent, in such capacity, and its   officers, directors, employees, agent and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees under subsection   10.3), shall maintain (and make available for inspection by Company and by each Lender, but   only as to information regarding the Loans made by such Lender, upon reasonable prior notice at   reasonable times) at its address referred to in subsection 10.8 a register for the recordation of,   and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders and the respective amounts of the   Revolving Loan Commitment, Swing Line Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Swing Line   Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  Company, Administrative Agent and   Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and   owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof; all   amounts owed with respect to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the   Register as the owner thereof; and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the   time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a   Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the   corresponding Commitments or Loans.  Each Lender shall record on its internal records the   amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect hereof, and any such   recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error, subject to the   entries in the Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any   inconsistency with any Lender’s records.  Failure to make any recordation in the Register or in   any Lender’s records, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Loans or   Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any Loans.   E. Optional Notes.  If so requested by any Lender by written notice to   Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the   Restatement Closing Date or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such   Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee   of such Lender pursuant to subsection 10.1) on the Restatement Closing Date (or, if such notice   is delivered after the Restatement Closing Date, promptly after Company’s receipt of such   notice) a promissory note or promissory notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans or   Swing Line Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV or Exhibit V annexed hereto,   respectively, with appropriate insertions.   2.2 Interest on the Loans.   A. Rate of Interest.  Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.7,   each Revolving Loan and Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount   thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate   determined by reference to the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate.  The applicable basis for   determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan shall be   selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Revolving Borrowing is given with respect     

 

   35   to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with   respect to any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D.    If on any day a Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been   delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the   applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest   determined by reference to the Base Rate, and if on any day a Swing Line Loan is outstanding   with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with   the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest,   then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate.   (i) Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Revolving   Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:   (a) if a Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base   Rate Margin; or   (b) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Eurodollar Rate   plus the Eurodollar Rate Margin.   (ii) Each Bid Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount   thereof for the Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate   for such Interest Period plus (or minus) the Eurodollar Bid Margin, or at the Absolute   Rate for such Interest Period, as the case may be.   (iii) Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Swing   Line Loans shall bear interest through maturity at either:   (a) the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin; or   (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate (determined on a daily basis as set   forth in the definition of Eurodollar Rate) plus the Eurodollar Rate Margin plus   0.50%.    B. Interest Periods.  In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan or Bid   Request, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Revolving Borrowing, Notice of   Conversion/Continuation or Bid Request, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an   “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s   option, (a) as to each Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan, the period commencing on the date such   Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan is disbursed or converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate   Revolving Loan and ending on the date one, two, three or six months thereafter, as selected by   Company in its Notice of Revolving Borrowing or twelve months if requested by Company and   available to all the Lenders; and (b) as to each Bid Loan, a period of not less than 7 days and not   more than 360 days as selected by Company in its Bid Request; provided that:   (i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on   the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a   Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of     

 

   36   Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Revolving   Loan;   (ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a   Eurodollar Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of   Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on   which the next preceding Interest Period expires;   (iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business   Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided   that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but   is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such   Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;   (iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar   month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar   month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection   2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;   (v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans or   any Bid Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;   (vi) there shall be no more than seven Interest Periods with respect to   Revolving Loans outstanding at any time; and   (vii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar   Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Revolving Borrowing or Notice of   Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period   of one month.   C. Interest Payments.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest   on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that   Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and   at maturity (including final maturity); provided that, in the event any Swing Line Loans or any   Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i), interest   accrued on such Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next   succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).   D. Conversion or Continuation.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6,   Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding   Revolving Loans equal to $5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from   Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at   a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest   Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan, to continue all or any portion of such   Loan equal to $5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar   Rate Revolving Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan may only be   converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto.     

 

   37   Company shall deliver a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to   Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) at least one Business Day in   advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at   least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of   a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan).  In lieu of delivering a   Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice   by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D;   provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a duly executed   Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed   conversion/continuation date.  Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of any Loan   subject to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation.   E. Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any   Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by   applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts   then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in   any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon   demand by Administrative Agent at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate   otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of   any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate   otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of   Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such   increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base   Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per   annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate   Loans.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this subsection   2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any   Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent   or any Lender.   F. Computation of Interest.  Except as may be provided with respect to a   Bid Loan, interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year (or a 366-day   year in case of a leap year) with respect to Base Rate Loans and otherwise a 360-day year, in   each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In   computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an   Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted   from a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate   Revolving Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of   payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or,   with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan, the date   of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be   excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s   interest shall be paid on that Loan.   G. Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this   subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by Company with respect to any   Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.     

 

   38   2.3 Fees.   A. Facility Fee.  Company shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account   of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee equal to the Applicable   Margin times the actual daily amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (or, if the   Revolving Loan Commitment Amount has terminated, on the Total Utilization of Revolving   Loan Commitments), regardless of usage.  The facility fee shall accrue at all times from the   Restatement Closing Date to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date (and thereafter   so long as any Loans or Letter of Credit Usage remain outstanding), including at any time during   which one or more of the conditions in subsection 4.2 is not met, and shall be due and payable in   arrears on and to (but excluding) the last Business Day of each March, June, September and   December of each year and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date (and, if   applicable, thereafter on demand).  The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if   there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be   computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such   quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.   B. Other Fees.  Company agrees to pay to the Agents such fees in the   amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Company and the Agents.   2.4 Repayments, Prepayments and Reductions of Revolving Loan   Commitment Amount; General Provisions Regarding Payments.   A. Prepayments and Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitment   Amount.   (i) Voluntary Prepayments.  Company may, upon written or telephonic notice   to Administrative Agent on or prior to 12:00 noon (Minneapolis time) on the date of   prepayment, which notice, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in writing, at any   time and from time to time prepay, without premium or penalty, any Swing Line Loan on   any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000   and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.  Company may, upon not less than   one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans,   and three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar   Rate Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon (Minneapolis   time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to   Administrative Agent, who will promptly notify each Lender whose Loans are to be   prepaid of such prepayment, at any time and from time to time prepay, without premium   or penalty, any Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate   minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.    Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans   specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified   therein.  Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in subsection   2.4A(iv) and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall be subject to subsection 2.6D.   (ii) Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.  Company may,   upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in     

 

   39   writing to Administrative Agent, or upon such lesser number of days’ prior written or   telephonic notice, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, at any   time and from time to time, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without   premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount in an amount up to the   amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount exceeds the Total Utilization   of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction;   provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount   shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in   excess of that amount.  Company’s notice to Administrative Agent (who will promptly   notify each Lender of such notice) shall designate the date (which shall be a Business   Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such   termination or reduction shall be effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and   shall reduce the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender   proportionately to its Pro Rata Share.  Any such voluntary reduction of the Revolving   Loan Commitment Amount shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4A(iv).   (iii) Mandatory Prepayments Due to Reductions of Revolving Loan   Commitment Amount.  Company shall from time to time prepay first the Swing Line   Loans, second the Revolving Loans and third the Bid Loans (and, after prepaying all   Loans, Cash Collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit by depositing the   requisite amount with the Issuing Lender) to the extent necessary so that the Total   Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving   Loan Commitment Amount then in effect.  At such time as the Total Utilization of   Revolving Loan Commitments shall be equal to or less than the Revolving Loan   Commitment Amount if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent   any Cash Collateralization was provided by Company and has not been applied to any   Obligations, such amount shall be released to Company.   (iv) Application of Prepayments.   (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans and   Order of Maturity.  Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4A(i)   shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment;   provided that in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such   prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay   outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof, and second to repay   outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof.   (b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans.  Any   mandatory reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to   this subsection 2.4A shall be in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share.   (c) Application of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar   Rate Loans.  Considering Revolving Loans being prepaid separately, any   prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent   thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that     

 

   40   minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company   pursuant to subsection 2.6D.   (v) No Bid Loan may be prepaid without the prior consent of the applicable   Bid Loan Lender.   B. General Provisions Regarding Payments.   (i) Manner and Time of Payment.  All payments by Company of principal,   interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without   defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to   Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the date due at the   Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by   Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid   by Company on the next succeeding Business Day.   (ii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest.  Except as provided in   subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall   include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and   all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to   principal.   (iii) Apportionment of Payments.  Aggregate payments of principal and   interest shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to which such payments relate,   in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares or, in the case of Bid   Loans, for the account of the respective Lenders entitled to such payments.    Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at the account specified in   the payment instructions delivered to Administrative Agent by such Lender, its Pro Rata   Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and fees of such Lender, if   any, when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsections 2.3 and 3.2.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iii), if, pursuant to the   provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to   any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro   Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans, Administrative Agent shall give   effect thereto in apportioning interest payments received thereafter.   (iv) Payments on Business Days.  Whenever any payment to be made   hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment   shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be   included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment   fees hereunder, as the case may be.   C. Payments after Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the   continuation of an Event of Default, if requested by Requisite Lenders, or upon acceleration of   the Obligations pursuant to Section 8, all payments received by Administrative Agent, whether   from Company or otherwise may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be held by     

 

   41   Administrative Agent, and/or (then or at any time thereafter) shall be applied in full or in part by   Administrative Agent, in each case in the following order of priority:   (i) to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other   realization, all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by   Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Administrative   Agent is entitled to compensation (including the fees described in subsection 2.3B),   reimbursement and indemnification under any Loan Document and all advances made by   Administrative Agent thereunder for the account of Company, and to the payment of all   costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan   Documents, all in accordance with subsections 9.4, 10.2 and 10.3 and the other terms of   this Agreement and the Loan Documents;   (ii) thereafter, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of   the holders thereof (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.4B(ii) hereof); and   (iii) thereafter, to the payment to or upon the order of Company or to   whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent   jurisdiction may direct.   2.5 Use of Proceeds.   A. Loans.  The proceeds of any Loans may be applied by Company for   working capital or any other general corporate purposes.     B. Margin Regulations.  No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under   this Agreement shall be used by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might   cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or   Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation   of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of   such borrowing and such use of proceeds.   C. Sanctions; Anti-Corruption Laws. Company will not, directly or   indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such   proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities or   business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding,   is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, or (ii) in any other manner that would result   in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans,   whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise).  No part of the proceeds of the Loans   will be used, directly or indirectly, in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or   authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in   violation of the FCPA or any other applicable anti-corruption law.   2.6 Special Provisions Governing Loans based on the Eurodollar   Rate.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the   following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans or, except with respect     

 

   42   to paragraphs D through F below, Base Rate Loans or Swing Line Loans as to which the interest   rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate as to the matters covered:   A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate.  On each Interest Rate   Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this   Agreement (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all   parties) the Eurodollar Rate that shall apply to the Loans for which an interest rate is then being   determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or   by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each applicable Lender.   B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.  If with respect to any   Interest Period:     (i) Administrative Agent determines that, or the Requisite Lenders determine   and advise Administrative Agent that, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are   not being offered in the London interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period; or    (ii) Administrative Agent otherwise determines, or the Requisite Lenders   determine and advise Administrative Agent (which determination shall be binding and   conclusive on all parties), that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank   eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the   applicable Eurodollar Rate; or    (iii) Administrative Agent determines, or the Requisite Lenders determine and   advise Administrative Agent, that the Eurodollar Rate as determined by Administrative   Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of maintaining or   funding a Eurodollar Rate Loan for such Interest Period or a Base Rate Loan or Swing   Line Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate,   or that the making or funding of Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan or Swing   Line Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate   has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this   Agreement which in the opinion of such Lenders materially affects such Loans;    then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected parties and (A) in the event   of any occurrence described in the foregoing clause (i) Company shall enter into good   faith negotiations with each affected Lender in order to determine an alternate method to   determine the Eurodollar Rate for such Lender, and during the pendency of such   negotiations with any Lender, such Lender shall be under no obligation to make any new   Eurodollar Rate Loan and the interest rate applicable to each Base Rate Loan and Swing   Line Loan shall be determined without reference to the Eurodollar Rate, and (B) in the   event of any occurrence described in the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii), for so long as such   circumstances shall continue, no Lender shall be under any obligation to make any new   Eurodollar Rate Loan and the interest rate applicable to each Base Rate Loan and Swing   Line Loan shall be determined without reference to the Eurodollar Rate.   C. Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans.  In the event   that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and     

 

   43   binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Company and   Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans   or Base Rate Loans or Swing Line Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by reference   to the Eurodollar Rate (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good   faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict   with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of   law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become   impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies   occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank   Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event,   such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile   or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such   determination.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender of the receipt of   such notice.  Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert   Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be   withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender   relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or Swing Line Loan then being requested by Company   pursuant to a Notice of Revolving Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or   otherwise, as applicable, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to,   as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its   outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans as to which the interest rate is   determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (collectively, the “Affected Loans”), shall be   terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with   respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall   automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding   the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a   Eurodollar Rate Loan or Swing Line Loan as to which the interest rate is determined by   reference to the Eurodollar Rate then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of   Revolving Borrowing, Bid Request or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or otherwise, as   applicable, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to   rescind such Notice of Revolving Borrowing, Bid Request or Notice of Conversion/Continuation   or other request, as applicable, as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by   telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which   the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above.  Administrative Agent   shall promptly notify each other Lender of the receipt of such notice.  Except as provided in the   immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of   any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to,   Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.   D. Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest   Periods.  Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant   to subsection 2.8A, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid   by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its applicable Loans and any   loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-   employment of such funds or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds   were obtained) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that   Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a     

 

   44   Notice of Revolving Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or a conversion to or   continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice   of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request therefor, (ii) if any prepayment or other   principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (including any   prepayment or conversion occasioned by the circumstances described in subsection 2.6C or the   paragraph following subsection 8.14) occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period   applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made   on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company, or (iv) as a consequence of   any other default by Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans on a date prior to   the last day of the Interest Period therefor.  Breakage cost loss shall consist of an amount equal to   the excess, if a positive number, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the   amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of   such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest   Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would   have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for   such Eurodollar Rate Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Eurodollar Rate   Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by   such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount   on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market.   E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Any Lender may make, carry or   transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office   of an Affiliate of that Lender.   F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans.    Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection   2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had funded each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans through   the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of   the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan   and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its Eurodollar   Rate Loans had been funded in such manner.   G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default.  After the occurrence of and   during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be   made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the expiration of any   Interest Period then in effect for that Loan or a Swing Line Loan as to which the interest rate is   determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, and (ii) subject to the provisions   of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Revolving Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation   given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not   yet occurred shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan or a Swing Line Loan as to which the   interest rate is determined by reference to the Base Rate, as applicable, or, if the conditions to   making a Loan set forth in subsection 4.2 cannot then be satisfied, to be rescinded by Company.   2.7 Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy.   A. Compensation for Increased Costs.  Subject to the provisions of   subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the     

 

   45   event that any Lender (including any Issuing Lender) shall determine (which determination shall,   absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any   Change in Law:   (i) subjects such Lender to any additional Tax of any kind whatsoever with   respect to this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder (including with respect to   issuing or maintaining any Letters of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any   participations therein or maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments to   such Lender of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder (except for   the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such   Lender);   (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit,   compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or   deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other   credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other   than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that   are reflected in the definition of Eurodollar Rate); or   (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or   affecting such Lender or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market;   and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make,   making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining   any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein   or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto; then, in any   such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to   in subsection 2.8A, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a   different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion may   reasonably determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for   any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.  Company   shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7A for any increased   cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than 90 days prior to the date on which   such Lender notifies Company of such Change in Law and such Lender’s intention to claim   compensation therefor, except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or   reduction is retroactive, no such 90 day time limitation shall apply to such period of retroactivity,   so long as such Lender requests compensation within 90 days from the date on which such   Lender obtained actual knowledge of such Change in Law.   B. Taxes.   (i) Issuing Lender.  For purposes of this Section 2.7B, the term “Lender”   includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.   (ii) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any   obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document shall be   made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable     

 

   46   law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable   Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such   payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be   entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount   deducted or withheld to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable   law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company or any   of its Subsidiaries shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or   withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to   additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount   equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been   made.   (iii) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company.  The Company shall timely pay   to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option   of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.   (iv) Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify each   Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified   Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts   payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient (whether directly or   pursuant to subsection 2.7B(viii)) or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment   to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,   whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by   the relevant Government Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or   liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative   Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall   be conclusive absent demonstrable error.   (v) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of   Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to a Government Authority, the   Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a   receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the   return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory   to the Administrative Agent.   (vi) Status of Lenders.  (A) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from   or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan   Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or   times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly   completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the   Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at   a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the   Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed   by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent   as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not   such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,     

 

   47   execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set   forth in Sections 2.7B(vi)(B)(1), (B)(2) and (B)(4) below) shall not be required if in the   applicable Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission   would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would   materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.   (B) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,       (1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the   Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender   under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the   Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying   that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;       (2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to   the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be   requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes   a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable   request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is   applicable:      (i)  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax   treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest   under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-   8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.   federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y)   with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS   Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or   reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or   “other income” article of such tax treaty;      (ii)  executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;      (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption   for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a   certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-A to the effect that such   Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the   Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the   meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled   foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue   Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS   Form W-8BEN; or      (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed   originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form   W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially   in the form of Exhibit VIII-B or Exhibit VIII-C, IRS Form W-9, and/or other     

 

   48   certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that   if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners   of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such   Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in   the form of Exhibit VIII-D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;      (3)  any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to   the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be   requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes   a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable   request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other   form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction   in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary   documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Company or the   Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and      (4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to   U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply   with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in   Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender   shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times   prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the   Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as   prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional   documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as   may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their   obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such   Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold   from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any   amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.      Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires   or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification   or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal   inability to do so.      (vii) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole   discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it   has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional   amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal   to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section   with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses   (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest   paid by the relevant Government Authority with respect to such refund).  Such   indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such   indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (vii) (plus any     

 

   49   penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) in the   event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Government   Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (vii), in no event   will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party   pursuant to this paragraph (vii) the payment of which would place the indemnified party   in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if   the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never   been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to   make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems   confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.   (viii) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender and the   Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days   after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only   to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for   such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so),    (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of   Section 10.1B relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (ii) any Excluded   Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the   Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable   expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were   correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority.  A   certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the   Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  Each Lender hereby   authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time   owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the   Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the   Administrative Agent under this paragraph (viii).    (ix) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7B shall survive   the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights   by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the   repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.   C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  If any Lender shall have determined that   any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of   reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such   Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or   Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the   Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling   corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the   policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then   from time to time, within ten Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the   statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional   amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-   tax basis for such reduction (provided that the compensation sought from the Company shall be   proportionate to the amounts that such Lender is generally seeking from similarly situated     

 

   50   borrowers in connection with similar credit facilities).  Company shall not be required to   compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7C for any reduction in respect of a period   occurring more than 90 days prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such   Change in Law and such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, except, if the   Change in Law giving rise to such reduction is retroactive, no such 90 day time limitation shall   apply to such period of retroactivity, so long as such Lender requests compensation within 90   days from the date on which such Lender obtained actual knowledge of such Change in Law.   2.8 Statement of Lenders; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing   Lenders to Mitigate.   A. Statements.  Each Lender claiming compensation or reimbursement   pursuant to subsection 2.6D, 2.7A, 2.7C or 2.8B shall deliver to Company (with a copy to   Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the   calculation of such compensation or reimbursement, which statement shall be conclusive and   binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.   B. Mitigation.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as   practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the   Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware   of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to   become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive   payments under subsection 2.7, it will use reasonable efforts to make, issue, fund or maintain the   Commitments of such Lender or the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender   through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if (i) as a   result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would   cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such   Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as   determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its good faith and reasonable judgment, such   action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that   such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of   credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Company agrees to pay all incremental   expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or   letter of credit office as described above.   2.9 Replacement of a Lender.   If (i) Company receives notice that it may incur Obligations under subsection 2.7   through a written statement delivered pursuant to subsection 2.8A from Administrative Agent or   a Lender or otherwise (other than for breakage costs under subsection 2.6D or circumstances   affecting all of the Lenders), (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) a Lender (a “Non-   Consenting Lender”) refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this   Agreement that, pursuant to subsection 10.6, requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or   100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected or (iv) a Lender becomes an Affected   Lender (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (A) no Event of Default shall have   occurred and be continuing and Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an   Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject     

 

   51   Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (B) such   Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such   Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender   (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit) are made), (C) in the case of clause (iii) above, with   respect to matters requiring the consent of 100% of the Lenders, Requisite Lenders have   consented to such amendment, modification or waiver, and (D), if applicable, the Subject Lender   is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to Company pursuant to subsection 2.8 upon 10   days prior written notice to the Subject Lender and Administrative Agent and/or is unwilling to   remedy its default upon three days prior written notice to the Subject Lender and Administrative   Agent, Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and Commitments to   such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions   of subsection 10.1B; provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the   Subject Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other   amounts (including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if applicable)) through   such date of replacement and a release from its obligations under the Loan Documents, (2) the   processing fee required to be paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative   Agent by Company or the assignee, (3) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in   subsection 10.1B, including, without limitation, the consent of Administrative Agent (if   required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement and   other supporting documents, have been fulfilled, and (4) in the event such Subject Lender is a   Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each   matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender.   2.10 Increase in Commitments.   A. Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Potential Event of Default   or Event of Default, upon notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the   Lenders), Company may on one occasion during the term of this Agreement request an increase   in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount by an amount not exceeding $250,000,000;   provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and   in multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.  At the time of sending such notice, Company (in   consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender   is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of   delivery of such notice to the Lenders).   B. Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify Administrative   Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Loan   Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata   Share of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be   deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment.   C. Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.    Administrative Agent shall notify Company and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each   request made hereunder.  If the Lenders do not agree to the full amount of a requested increase,   subject to the approval of Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which approvals shall   not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Company may also invite additional Eligible     

 

   52   Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory   to Administrative Agent and its counsel.   D. Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Revolving Loan Commitment   Amount is increased in accordance with this Section, Administrative Agent and Company shall   determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such   increase.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and the Lenders of the final   allocation of such increase, the Increase Effective Date and revised Pro Rata Shares.  The   increased portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be subject to the existing terms and   conditions of this Agreement.    E. Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to   such increase, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate dated as of   the Increase Effective Date (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by Company   approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to   such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 and the other Loan   Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that   such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are   true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default   exists.  Company shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date   (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to subsection 2.6D) to the extent necessary to   keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any   nonratable increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments under this subsection.   F. Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in   subsection 10.5 or 10.6 to the contrary.   2.11 Defaulting Lenders.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any   Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a   Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:   A. Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve   or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be   restricted as set forth in subsection 10.6.   B. Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or   other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender   (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made   available to Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to   subsection 10.2 or 10.3), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by   Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting   Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any   amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender and/or Swing Line Lender   hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender   and/or Swing Line Lender, to Cash Collateralize future funding obligations of such Defaulting     

 

   53   Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, after a required   amount has been fully Cash Collateralized, to the return to Company of any amount posted   thereby which remains in excess of any such required amount; fifth, as Company may request (so   long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in   respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this   Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; sixth, if so determined by Administrative   Agent and Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to   satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; seventh, to   the payment of any amounts owing to Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or   Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by   Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender against such   Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this   Agreement; eighth, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the   payment of any amounts owing to Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent   jurisdiction obtained by Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting   Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, to such Defaulting Lender or   as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a   payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or funded participations in Swing Line   Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its   appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Loans or funded participations in Swing Line Loans or   Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in subsection 4.2 or 4.3, as   applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving   Loans of, and funded participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, all non-   Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving   Loans of, or funded participations in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, such   Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a   Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to   post Cash collateral pursuant to this subsection 2.11B shall be deemed paid to and redirected by   such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.   C. Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.    During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount   of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in   Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 3.3, the   “Pro Rata Share” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the   Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation   shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no   Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each   non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing   Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Loan   Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding principal   amount of the Loans of that Lender.   D. Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit.  Within three Business Days   following demand by the Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent from time to time, Company   shall deliver to Administrative Agent Cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all   Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender (after giving effect to subsection 2.11C on     

 

   54   terms reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (and such Cash   collateral shall be in Dollars).  Any such Cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account   with Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Administrative   Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for the payment and   performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Letter of Credit Usage.    Moneys in such account shall be applied by Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing   Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any drawing under any   Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by Company (including, without   limitation, through a Loan) or such Defaulting Lender.  If Company is no longer required to   provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder, then such amount (to the extent not applied as   aforesaid) shall be returned to Company promptly following the termination of such requirement.   E. Prepayment of Swing Line Loans.  Within three Business Days   following demand by Swing Line Lender or Administrative Agent from time to time, Company   shall prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to all Fronting Exposure with respect to   Swing Line Lender (after giving effect to subsection 2.11C).   F. Certain Fees.  For any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting   Lender, such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to   subsection 2.3A (and Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would   have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall not be entitled to   receive any Letter of Credit commissions pursuant to subsection 3.2(i)(b) otherwise payable to   the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such   Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash collateral or other credit support arrangements   satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.11D, but instead, Company shall pay   to the non-Defaulting Lenders the amount of such Letter of Credit commissions in accordance   with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of   Credit pursuant to subsection 2.11C (but excluding any portion of such commissions attributable   to the portion of the Fronting Exposure which has been Cash Collateralized by Company), with   the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account.   G. Defaulting Lender Cure.  If Company, Administrative Agent, Swing   Line Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting   Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so   notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any   conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash   Collateralization), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding   Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to   be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and   Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata   Shares (without giving effect to subsection 2.11C), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a   Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees   accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Company while such Lender was a Defaulting   Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the   affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver   or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a   Defaulting Lender.  If Company is no longer required to provide an amount of Cash collateral     

 

   55   hereunder, then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to   Company promptly following the termination of such requirement.      Section 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT   3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of   Participations Therein.   A. Letters of Credit.  Company may request, in accordance with the   provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Effective Date to   but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that one or more Lenders   issue Letters of Credit for the account of Company for the general corporate purposes of   Company or a Subsidiary of Company.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement   and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, any one or   more Lenders may, but (except as provided in subsection 3.1B(ii)) shall not be obligated to, issue   such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided that   Company shall not request that:   (i) any Lender issue or amend (and no Lender shall issue or amend) any   Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance or amendment, the Total   Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan   Commitment Amount then in effect;   (ii) any Lender issue or amend (and no Lender shall issue or amend) any   Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance or amendment, the Letter of Credit   Usage would exceed $50,000,000;   (iii) any Lender issue (and no Lender shall issue) any Letter of Credit having   (or amend any existing Letter of credit so that it would have) an expiration date later than   the earlier of (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (b) the date   which is one year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that (x) a   Letter of Credit may have an expiration date later than the Revolving Loan Commitment   Termination Date only if Company agrees to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit at   least five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date (or   such later date as shall be determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and   (y) Letters of Credit may be issued with (or amended to provide) a tenor of greater than   one year only with the prior written consent of all of the Lenders; or   (iv) any Lender issue (and no Lender shall issue) any Letter of Credit   denominated in a currency other than Dollars.   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, no Issuing Lender shall be under   any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit (x) if the Issuing Lender has received written notice   that the conditions precedent set forth in subsection 4.3 have not been satisfied, or (y) at a time   when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into   arrangements (which may include the delivery of Cash collateral) with Company or such     

 

   56   Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s   Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to subsection 2.11C) with respect to any such Defaulting   Lender.   B. Mechanics of Issuance.   (i) Request for Issuance.  Whenever Company desires the issuance of a Letter   of Credit, it shall deliver to the proposed Issuing Lender (with a copy to Administrative   Agent if Administrative Agent is not the proposed Issuing Lender) a Request for Issuance   no later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) at least five Business Days or such shorter   period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of   the proposed date of issuance.  The Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may   require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any documents described in   or attached to the Request for Issuance.  In furtherance of the provisions of subsection   10.8, and not in limitation thereof, Company may submit Requests for Issuance by   telefacsimile and Administrative Agent and Issuing Lenders may rely and act upon any   such Request for Issuance without receiving an original signed copy thereof.   Company shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Administrative Agent, if   Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any Letter of   Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the   applicable Request for Issuance is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of   issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Company   shall be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to   which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance.   (ii) Determination of Issuing Lender.  Upon receipt by a proposed Issuing   Lender of a Request for Issuance pursuant to subsection 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance   of a Letter of Credit, (a) in the event Administrative Agent is the proposed Issuing   Lender, Administrative Agent shall be the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of   Credit and shall issue such Letter of Credit, notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of   Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit and with respect to all other Letters of   Credit issued by Administrative Agent, when aggregated with Administrative Agent’s   outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, may exceed the amount of   Administrative Agent’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; and (b) in the event   any other Lender is the proposed Issuing Lender, such Lender shall promptly notify   Company and Administrative Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to   issue such Letter of Credit, and (1) if such Lender so elects to issue such Letter of Credit   it shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto and (2) if such Lender fails to so   promptly notify Company and Administrative Agent or declines to issue such Letter of   Credit, Company may request Administrative Agent or another Lender to be the Issuing   Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this   subsection 3.1B.     (iii) Issuance of Letter of Credit.  Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance   with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender   shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s   standard operating procedures.     

 

   57   (iv) Notification to Lenders.  Upon the issuance of or amendment to any Letter   of Credit the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and   Company of such issuance or amendment in writing and such notice shall be   accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.  Upon receipt of such   notice (or, if Administrative Agent is the Issuing Lender, together with such notice),   Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of such issuance or amendment   and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such  Letter of Credit or   amendment, and, if so requested by a Lender, Administrative Agent shall provide such   Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.  In the event that Issuing   Lender is other than Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender will send by facsimile   transmission to Administrative Agent, promptly upon the first Business Day of each   week, a report of its daily aggregate maximum amount available for drawing under   commercial Letters of Credit for the previous week.  Upon receipt of such report,   Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of the contents thereof.   C. Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit.  Immediately   upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and as of the Restatement Closing Date with respect   to the Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 1.2, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby   agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of   Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share   of the maximum amount that is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.   3.2 Letter of Credit Fees.   Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit   issued or outstanding hereunder:   (i) with respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) a fronting fee, payable directly to   the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, in an amount agreed to between   Company and the applicable Issuing Lender and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to   Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate   Margin, less 0.125%, and plus, for as long as any increased rates of interest apply   pursuant to subsection 2.2E, 2% per annum, multiplied by the daily amount available to   be drawn under such Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be   payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) the last Business Day of each March, June,   September and December of each year and on the Revolving Loan Commitment   Termination Date and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of   days elapsed, including any period after the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination   Date during which such Letter of Credit remains outstanding, whether pursuant to   subsection 3.1A(iii) or otherwise; and   (ii) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of   Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees   payable under clause (i) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to   the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such Issuing   Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance,   amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.     

 

   58   For purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this subsection   3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of   the close of business on any date of determination.   3.3 Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of   Credit.   A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings.  In   determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof,   the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such   Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in   accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.   B. Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of   Credit.  In the event an Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of   Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and Administrative   Agent, and Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day   immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”)   in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment; provided   that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company   shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon   (Minneapolis time) on the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse such   Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving   Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Revolving Borrowing to   Administrative Agent requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on   the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such payment and (ii)   subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 4.2, Lenders shall, on   the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such   payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse   such Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; and provided, further that if for any reason   proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement   Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Company shall reimburse such Issuing   Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such   payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received.    Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to   make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company   shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such   Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.  During the continuance of an   Event of Default, if Administrative Agent receives any Cash collateral in respect of any   outstanding Letter of Credit, such Cash collateral shall be held by Administrative Agent for the   ratable benefit of the Lenders.   C. Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters   of Credit.   (i) Payment by Lenders.  In the event that Company shall fail for any reason   to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the     

 

   59   amount of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such   Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify   each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s   respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (after giving   effect to any Revolving Loans made by such Lender under subsection 3.3B in respect of   such drawing).  Each Lender (other than such Issuing Lender) shall make available to   Administrative Agent an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars, in same   day funds, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis   time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by Administrative Agent, and   Administrative Agent shall make available to such Issuing Lender in Dollars, in same day   funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender on such Business Day the aggregate amount of   the payments so received by Administrative Agent.  In the event that any Lender fails to   make available to Administrative Agent on such Business Day the amount of such   Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, such   Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender   together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the   correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.    Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of Administrative   Agent to recover, for the benefit of Lenders, from any Issuing Lender any amounts made   available to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is   determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment   with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in respect of which payments   were made by Lenders constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of   such Issuing Lender.   (ii) Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company.  In   the event any Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to   subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a   Letter of Credit issued by it, and Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender thereafter   receives any payments from Company in reimbursement of such payment under the   Letter of Credit, to the extent any such payment is received by such Issuing Lender, it   shall distribute such payment to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall   distribute to each other Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection   3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments   subsequently received by Administrative Agent or by such Issuing Lender from   Company.  Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at the account specified in   subsection 2.4B(iii).   D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.   (i) Payment of Interest by Company.  Company agrees to pay to   Administrative Agent, with respect to payments under any Letters of Credit issued by any   Issuing Lender, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each   such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount   is reimbursed by Company (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of   Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from   the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then     

 

   60   in effect under this Agreement with respect to Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate   which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this   Agreement with respect to Base Rate Loans.  Interest payable pursuant to this subsection   3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year in case of a   leap year) for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and   shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related   drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.    (ii) Distribution of Interest Payments by Administrative Agent.  Promptly   upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection   3.3D(i) with respect to a payment under a Letter of Credit, (a) Administrative Agent shall   distribute to (x) each Lender (including the Issuing Lender) out of the interest received by   Administrative Agent in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to   but excluding the date on which the applicable Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the   amount of such payment (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of   Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such Lender would have   been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable   in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no   drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit, and (y) such Issuing Lender the   amount, if any, remaining after payment of the amounts applied pursuant to clause (x),   and (b) in the event such Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders   pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such payment, Administrative   Agent shall distribute to each Lender (including such Issuing Lender) that has paid all   amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such   Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of   that portion of such payment so made by Lenders for the period from the date on which   such Issuing Lender was so reimbursed to but excluding the date on which such portion   of such payment is reimbursed by Company.  Any such distribution shall be made to a   Lender at the account specified in subsection 2.4B(iii).   3.4 Obligations Absolute.   The obligation of Company to reimburse each Issuing Lender for payments under   the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to   subsection 3.3B and the obligations of Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be unconditional   and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under   all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:   (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;   (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Company   or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter   of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing   Lender or other Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Company,   whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any   unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of   its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);     

 

   61   (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving   to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein   being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;   (iv) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit   against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply   with the terms of such Letter of Credit;   (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets,   condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries;   (vi) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party   thereto;   (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to   any of the foregoing; or   (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have   occurred and be continuing;   provided, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter   of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing   Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of   competent jurisdiction).   3.5 Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties.   As between Company and any Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the   acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the   respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the   foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for:  (i) 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 any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be   in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or   sufficiency 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) failure of the beneficiary of any   such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such   Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any   messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v)   errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise   of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the   proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the   proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from   causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any act or omission by a   Government Authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of,   any of such Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.     

 

   62   In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set   forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing   Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and   certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing   Lender under any resulting liability to Company.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 3.5,   Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Issuing Lender for any liability   arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as   determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.   3.6 Applicability of UCP and ISP.

No failure on the part of any L/C Issuer to   provide such information pursuant to this subsection 3.7 shall limit the obligations of Company   or any Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations   hereunder.   3.8 Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.    Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any   obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Company shall be obligated to reimburse, or   to cause the applicable Subsidiary to reimburse, the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all   drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of   Letters of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Company and   that Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

Except as permitted by this Agreement, all such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens.   5.6 Litigation; Adverse Facts.   Except as set forth in Schedule 5.6 annexed hereto, there are no Proceedings   (whether or not purportedly on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity,   or before or by any court or other Government Authority (including any Environmental Claims)   that are pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened against or affecting Company or   any of its Subsidiaries or any property of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and that,   individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse   Effect.  Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of any applicable laws   (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be   expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) is subject to or in default with respect to   any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or other   Government Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to   result in a Material Adverse Effect.   5.7 Payment of Taxes.   Except to the extent permitted by subsection 6.3, all federal and all other material   tax returns and reports of Company and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have   been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all material   assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Company and its Subsidiaries and upon   their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises that are due and payable   have been paid when due and payable, unless such taxes, assessments, fees or charges are being   actively contested by Company or such Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings   and reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with   GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor.  The Company and each Subsidiary have also   maintained adequate reserves on their books and records in accordance with GAAP for all taxes   that have accrued but which are not yet due and payable.  Neither the Company nor any of its   Subsidiaries has participated in any transaction that relates to a year of the taxpayer (which is   still open under the applicable statute of limitations) which is a “reportable  transaction” within   the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) (irrespective of the date when the   transaction was entered into).   5.8 Governmental Regulation.

A. Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA   Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA   and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations in each case   thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations   under each Employee Benefit Plan.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.   5.11 Environmental Protection.   In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of Company and its Subsidiaries   consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of Company and its Subsidiaries, in   the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to Company   due to Environmental Laws.  On the basis of this consideration, Company has concluded that   Environmental Laws would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.    Neither Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are   not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or   are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is   needed to respond to a release of any Hazardous Materials into the environment, which   non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse   Effect.   5.12 Solvency.   Company is and, upon the incurrence of any Obligations by Company on any date   on which this representation is made, will be, Solvent.   5.13 Disclosure.

Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are   based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Company to be reasonable at the     

 

   70   time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be   viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such   projections may differ from the projected results.     5.14 Sanctions; Anti-Corruption Laws.   A. None of Company, any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of   Company, any director, officer, employee, agent, or affiliate of Company or any of its   Subsidiaries is a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are: (i) either the   subject or target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the   Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the U.S. Department of State, the UN   Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty's Treasury or other relevant sanctions   authority (collectively,  “Sanctions”), or  (ii)  located,  organized  or resident in a country or   territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, including, without limitation,   currently, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria; and   B.

   82   to be null and void, or (ii) Company shall contest the validity or enforceability of any Loan   Document or any provision thereof in writing or deny in writing that it has any further liability,   including with respect to future advances by Lenders, under any Loan Document or any   provision thereof:   THEN (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in subsection   8.6 or 8.7, each of (a) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Loans, and (b)   all other Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without   presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby   expressly waived by Company, Company shall immediately Cash Collateralize all Letters of   Credit then outstanding (whether or not any beneficiary under any such Letter of Credit shall   have presented, or shall be entitled at such time to present, the drafts or other documents or   certificates required to draw under such Letter of Credit) and the obligation of each Lender to   make any Loan, the obligation of Administrative Agent to issue any Letter of Credit and the right   of any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder shall thereupon terminate, and (ii) upon the   occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default, Administrative Agent   shall, upon the written request or with the written consent of Requisite Lenders, by written notice   to Company, declare all or any portion of the amounts described in clauses (a) and (b) above to   be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and payable and require Company to   immediately Cash Collateralize all Letters of Credit then outstanding (whether or not any   beneficiary under any such Letter of Credit shall have presented, or shall be entitled at such time   to present, the drafts or other documents or certificates required to draw under such Letter of   Credit) and the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan, the obligation of Administrative   Agent to issue any Letter of Credit and the right of any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit   hereunder shall thereupon terminate; provided that the foregoing shall not affect in any way the   obligations of Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) or the obligations of Lenders to purchase   assignments of any unpaid Swing Line Loans as provided in subsection 2.1A(ii).   Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph, if at any time   within 60 days after an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to clause (ii) of such paragraph   Company shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal which shall   have become due otherwise than as a result of such acceleration (with interest on principal and,   to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and   all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default (other than non-payment of the principal of   and accrued interest on the Loans, in each case which is due and payable solely by virtue of   acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to subsection 10.6, then Requisite Lenders,   by written notice to Company, may at their option rescind and annul such acceleration and its   consequences; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential   Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  The provisions of this paragraph are   intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite   Lenders and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit Company, and such provisions   shall not at any time be construed so as to grant Company the right to require Lenders to rescind   or annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from   exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents,   even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.     

 

   83   Section 9. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT   9.1 Appointment.   A. Appointment of Administrative Agent.  Wells Fargo is hereby appointed   Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby   authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the terms of this   Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Wells Fargo agrees to act upon the express   conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable.  The   provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agents and Lenders and none of   Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the   provisions thereof.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative   Agent (other than as provided in subsection 2.1D) shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and   does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship   of agency or trust with or for Company or any of its Subsidiaries.   9.2 Powers and Duties; General Immunity.   A. Powers; Duties Specified.  Each Lender irrevocably authorizes   Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers,   rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated   or granted to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers,   rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Administrative Agent shall have only   those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other   Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and   perform such duties by or through its agents or employees.  Administrative Agent shall not have,   by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in   respect of any Lender or Company; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan   Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon   Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan   Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.   B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters.  No Agent shall be responsible   to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility   or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations,   warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral   statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other   documents furnished or made by such Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company to such   Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated   thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or any other Person liable   for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall such Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to   the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or   agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans   or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of   Default or Potential Event of Default.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary   notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of     

 

   84   the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts   thereof.   C. Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent or any of its officers, directors,   employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by such Agent   under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such   Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  An Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any   act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this   Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or   authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received   instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required   to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from   Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act   or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in   accordance with such instructions; provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action   that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is   contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.  Without prejudice to the generality of the   foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon   any communication (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or   other distribution), instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have   been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be   protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company   and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii)   no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against an Agent as a result of such Agent   acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other   Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders   as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6).   D. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender.  The agency hereby created shall in no   way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon,   an Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.  With respect to its participation in the   Loans and the Letters of Credit, an Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as   any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and   functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term   shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual   capacity.  An Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity   interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking, investment banking, trust,   financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not   performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from   Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to   account for the same to Lenders.   9.3 Independent Investigation by Lenders; No Responsibility For   Appraisal of Creditworthiness.   Each Lender agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the   financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of     

 

   85   the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue   to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries. No Agent   shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such   investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit   or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making   of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with   respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.   9.4 Right to Indemnity.   Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify   each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and   Affiliates to the extent that any such Person shall not have been reimbursed by Company, for and   against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,   costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and fees and   disbursements of any financial advisor engaged by Agents) or disbursements of any kind or   nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent or such   other Person in exercising the powers, rights and remedies of an Agent or performing duties of   an Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Agent in   any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that   no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,   penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of an Agent resulting solely   from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a   court of competent jurisdiction.  If any indemnity furnished to an Agent or any other such Person   for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such   Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified   against until such additional indemnity is furnished.   9.5 Resignation of Agents; Successor Administrative Agent and   Swing Line Lender.   A. Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent.  Any Agent may resign   at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Company.  Upon any   such notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon   five Business Days’ notice to Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no such   successor shall have been so appointed by Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such   appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its   resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor   Administrative Agent.  If Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders and Company that no   Person has accepted such appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such resignation shall   nonetheless become effective in accordance with Administrative Agent’s notice and (i) the   retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan   Documents, and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by,   to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender directly,   until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance   with this subsection 9.5A.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent   hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall     

 

   86   thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the   retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its   duties and obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged as set forth above).  After   any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its   benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this   Agreement.   B. Successor Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender.  Any resignation of   Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall also constitute the resignation of Wells   Fargo or its successor as Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender, and any successor   Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall, upon its acceptance of such   appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender and an Issuing Lender for all purposes   hereunder.  In such event (i) Company shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by   the retiring Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such   prepayment, the retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing   Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, (iii) if so requested by the successor   Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, Company   shall issue a Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender   substantially in the form of Exhibit V annexed hereto, in the amount of the Swing Line Loan   Commitment then in effect and with other appropriate insertions and (iv) such successor Issuing   Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring   Issuing Lender, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements   satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring   Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit, and upon issuance of such substitute letters   of credit such substitute letters of credit shall be, and the substituted Letters of Credit shall cease   to be, Letters of Credit.   9.6 Duties of Other Agents.   To the extent that any Lender is identified in this Agreement as a co-agent,   documentation agent or syndication agent, such Lender shall not have any right, power,   obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all   Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed   to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.   9.7 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.   In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,   reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to   Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Company, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether   the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or   otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on   Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise   (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest   owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and   unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in     

 

   87   order to have the claims of Lenders and Agents (including any claim for the reasonable   compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agents and their   agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agents under subsections 2.3   and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and   (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable   on any such claims and to distribute the same;   and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in   any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to   Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of   such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the   reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agents and their agents and   counsel, and any other amounts due Agents under subsections 2.3 and 10.2.   Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to   authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,   arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or   to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such   proceeding.   Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS   10.1 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in   Loans and Letters of Credit.    A. General.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and   their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the   successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are   subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1).  Neither Company’s rights nor   obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without   the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Company   without such consent shall be null and void).  No sale, assignment or transfer or participation of   any obligations of a Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be   made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in   the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans of the Lender effecting such sale,   assignment, transfer or participation.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,   except as provided in subsection 2.1A(ii) and subsection 10.5, the Swing Line Loan   Commitment and the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender may not be sold, assigned or   transferred as described below to any Person other than a successor Administrative Agent and   Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by subsection 9.5.  Nothing in this Agreement,   expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,   their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly   contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders and   Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.   B. Assignments.     

 

   88   (i) Amounts and Terms of Assignments.  Any Lender may assign to one or   more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this   Agreement; provided that (a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining   amount of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the   aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Exposure of the assigning Lender and the   assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless   Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld   or delayed), provided that simultaneous assignments to or by two or more related Funds   shall be treated as one assignment for purposes of this clause (a), (b) each partial   assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning   Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the   Commitment assigned and any assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan   Commitment, Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit participation shall be made only as an   assignment of the same proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Loan   Commitment, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit participations, (c) the parties to each   assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement,   together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it   shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information   reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, including forms, certificates or other   information in compliance with subsection 2.7B(iv) and (d) except in the case of an   assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (provided that such Affiliate has a   long-term non-credit enhanced unsecured debt rating of at least A- (in the case of S&P)   or A3 (in the case of Moody’s)) or an Approved Fund of a Lender, Administrative Agent   and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company, shall have   consented thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);   provided, that Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of   Loans or Commitments unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative   Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof.   Upon such execution, delivery and consent, from and after the effective date   specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party   hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it   pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a   Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights   and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment   Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of   this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be released from its obligations under this   Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining   portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such   Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the   Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is an Issuing Lender   such Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender until   the cancellation or expiration of any Letters of Credit issued by it and the reimbursement   of any amounts drawn thereunder).  The assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of   such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes, if any, to   Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by   the assignee and/or the assigning Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, be issued to     

 

   89   the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV or   Exhibit V annexed hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the   amounts of the new Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may   be, of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.  Other than as provided in subsection   2.1A(ii) and subsection 10.5, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or   obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.1B shall   be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in   such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 10.1C.   (ii) Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register.  Upon its   receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee   representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation   fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with   respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may   be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iv),   Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent and Company have consented to the   assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required   pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a   counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required   consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information   contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Company.    Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to   and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).   C. Participations.  Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to,   Company or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a   natural Person or Company or any of its Affiliates) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights   and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this   Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other   parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Company, Administrative Agent   and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such   Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to   which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right   to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any   provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such   Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or   waiver directly affecting (i) subsection 2.4A(iii) or the extension of the scheduled final maturity   date of any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or   the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation.  Subject to the further   provisions of this subsection 10.1C, Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the   benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired   its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1B.  To the extent permitted by law, each   Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.4 as though it were a Lender,   provided such Participant agrees to be subject to subsection 10.5 as though it were a Lender.  A   Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7A   than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation   sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with     

 

   90   Company’s prior written consent.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection   2.7 unless Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant   agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with subsection 2.7B(vii)(B) as though it were a   Lender.   D. Pledges and Assignments.  Any Lender may, without the consent of   Administrative Agent or Company, at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in,   all or any portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such Lender, to secure   obligations of such Lender, including without limitation (A) any pledge or assignment, or grant   of a security interest, to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank   having jurisdiction over such Lender and (B) in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge   or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to any holders of obligations owed, or securities   issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders;   provided that (i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any   such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, and (ii) in no event shall any pledge,   assignee or grantee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the pledging,   assigning or granting Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.   E. Information.  Each Lender may furnish any information concerning   Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to pledgees   under subsection 10.10D, assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and   participants), in each case subject to subsection 10.18.   F. Agreements of Lenders.  Each Lender listed on the signature pages   hereof hereby agrees, and each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment   Agreement shall be deemed to agree, (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (ii) of   the definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of or purchasing   loans such as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make or purchase Loans for its own account in the   ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the   meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being   understood that, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or   any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).   10.2 Expenses.   Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated,   Company agrees to pay promptly (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and   expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent, including reasonable and   documented fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Agents, in connection with the   negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents,   amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters   requested by Company; (ii) all other costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and   the Syndication Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments; (iii) all   reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of   internal counsel) and reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, advisors and   consultants, incurred by Administrative Agent and its counsel at any time when an Event of   Default has occurred and is continuing, relating to efforts to evaluate or assess Company or any     

 

   91   of its Subsidiaries and its business or financial condition; and (iv) all reasonable costs and   expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel),    reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, advisors and consultants and costs of   settlement, incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in   collecting any payments due from Company hereunder or under the other Loan Documents   (including in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents) or in connection with any   refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the   nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.   10.3 Indemnity.   In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or   not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to defend   (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Administrative   Agent and Lenders (including Issuing Lenders), and the officers, directors, trustees, employees,   agents, advisors and Affiliates of Administrative Agent and Lenders (collectively called the   “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined);   provided that Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect   to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the   gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final   nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.   As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all   liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs,   expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and   disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or   judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such   Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses   incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential   and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including   securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations), on common law or equitable cause   or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such   Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan   Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to   make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of   Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, the failure of an Issuing   Lender to honor a drawing under a 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 Authority, or any   enforcement of any of the Loan Documents).   To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless   set forth in this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are   violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is   permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all   Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.     

 

   92   10.4 Set-Off.   In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by   way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any   Event of Default each of Lenders and their Affiliates is hereby authorized by Company at any   time or from time to time, without notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice   being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits   (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including Indebtedness evidenced by   certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any   other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or   for the credit or the account of Company and each of its Subsidiaries against and on account of   the Obligations of Company or any of its Subsidiaries to that Lender (or any Affiliate of that   Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this Agreement, the   Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims   of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of   Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i)   that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the   Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder   shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and   liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.   10.5 Ratable Sharing.   Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by   voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a payment or prepayment of Loans made and   applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through   the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the   enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a   deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a   proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters   of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other   Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater   than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to   such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall, unless   such proportionately greater payment is required by the terms of this Agreement, (i) notify   Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a   portion of such payment to purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased   from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of   such payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of   Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts   Due to them; provided that (A) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by   such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or   reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase   prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent   of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the foregoing provisions shall not apply to (1) any   payment made by Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this   Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment (other     

 

   93   than an assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.5) of or the sale of a participation in any of its   Obligations to any Eligible Assignee or Participant pursuant to subsection 10.1B.  Company   expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser of an assignment   so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as fully as if that   Lender had complied with the provisions of subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment.    In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the   assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to   enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing Lender, as   the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender.  In the event   of a conflict between this subsection 10.5 and subsection 2.10, subsection 2.10 shall control.   10.6 Amendments and Waivers.   No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this   Agreement or of the Notes, and no consent to any departure by Company therefrom, shall in any   event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders; provided that no such   amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of:   (i) each Lender with Obligations directly affected (whose consent shall be   sufficient for any such amendment, modification, termination or waiver without the   consent of Requisite Lenders) (1) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, (2)   postpone the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan (but not the date of any scheduled   installment of principal), (3) postpone the date on which any interest or any fees are   payable, (4) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan (other than any waiver of any   increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or   the amount of any fees payable hereunder (other than any waiver of any increase in the   fees applicable to Letters of Credit pursuant to subsection 3.2 following an Event of   Default), (5) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of any amount payable in   respect of any Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation, (6) extend the expiration date of   any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, (7)   except as provided in subsection 2.11, extend the Revolving Loan Commitment   Termination Date, (8) change in any manner the obligations of Lenders relating to the   purchase of participations in Letters of Credit or (9) change in any manner the provisions   of subsection 2.4B to provide that Lenders will not share pro rata in reductions of the   Revolving Loan Commitment Amount;   (ii) each Lender, (1) change in any manner the definition of “Pro Rata Share”   or the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (except for any changes resulting solely from an   increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments approved by Requisite Lenders),   (2) change the provisions of subsection 2.4B(iii) to provide that Lenders will not share   pro rata in payments, (3) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that, by   its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders, (4) increase the   maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder, or (5) change in any manner   or waive the provisions contained in subsection 2.4A(iii), subsection 2.4C, subsection   8.1, subsection 10.5 or this subsection 10.6.     

 

   94   In addition, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision   (i) of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the   holder of that Note, (ii) of subsection 2.1A(ii) or of any other provision of this Agreement   relating to the Swing Line Loan Commitment or the Swing Line Loans shall be effective without   the written concurrence of Swing Line Lender, (iii) of Section 3 shall be effective without the   written concurrence of Administrative Agent and of each Issuing Lender that has issued an   outstanding Letter of Credit or has not been reimbursed for a payment under a Letter of Credit,   (iv) of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly   requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent shall be effective without the   written concurrence of Administrative Agent; and (v) that increases the amount of a   Commitment of a Lender shall be effective without the consent of such Lender.   Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence   of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that   Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the   specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on Company in any case shall   entitle Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  Any   amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this   subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender   and, if signed by Company, on Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no   Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or   consent hereunder, except that the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender may not be   increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.  In the event of a conflict between this   subsection 10.6 and subsection 2.10, subsection 2.10 shall control.   10.7 Independence of Covenants.   All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular   action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted   by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not   avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken   or condition exists.   10.8 Notices; Effectiveness of Signatures; Posting on Electronic   Delivery Systems.   A. Notices.  Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or   other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be   personally served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be   deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of   telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the   United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to   Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and any Issuing Lender shall not be effective until   received.  For the purposes hereof, the address of Company, Administrative Agent, Swing Line   Lender and the Issuing Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 10.8 and the address of each   other Lender shall be as set forth on its Administrative Questionnaire or (i) as to Company and   Administrative Agent, such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written     

 

   95   notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as   shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent.    Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used to distribute routine   communications, such as financial statements and other information as provided in subsection   6.1.  Administrative Agent or Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other   communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved   by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or   communications.   B. Effectiveness of Signatures.  Loan Documents and notices under the   Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by telefacsimile and by signatures delivered   in ‘PDF’ format by electronic mail; provided, however, that after the Restatement Closing Date   no signature with respect to any notice, request, agreement, waiver, amendment or other   document that is intended to have a binding effect may be sent by electronic mail.  The   effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the   same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on   Company, Agents and Lenders.  Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents   and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy thereof; provided, however, that the   failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the effectiveness of   any facsimile document or signature.   C. Posting on Electronic Delivery Systems.  Company acknowledges and   agrees that (I) Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by Company to   Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and other written   information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to Company, any of its   Subsidiaries, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the   transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”), available to the   Lenders by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be provided by   Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, or any Person that is not an Affiliate   of Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, or a substantially similar electronic system (the   “Platform”) and (II) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do   not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Company or its securities)   (each, a “Public Lender”).  Company acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through   an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks   associated with such distribution; provided that Administrative Agent agrees to use reasonable   efforts to require that any Lender with access to the Platform agrees to keep the Communications   confidential on substantially the same terms set forth in subsection 10.18, (ii) the Platform is   provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates   warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the   Communications posted on the Platform.  Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly   disclaim with respect to the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or   incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the   Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or   liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform.  No warranty of any   kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of   merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or     

 

   96   freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by Administrative Agent or any of its   Affiliates in connection with the Platform.   Company hereby agrees that (w) all Communications that are to be made   available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a   minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page   thereof; (x) by marking Communications “PUBLIC”, Company shall be deemed to have   authorized Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender and the Lenders to treat such   Communications as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Company   or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided,   however, that to the extent such Communications constitute confidential information pursuant to   subsection 10.18, they shall be treated as set forth in such subsection); (y) all Communications   marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform   designated “Public Investor”; and (z) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any   Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion   of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”.   Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a   “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes   of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or   other materials comprising such Communication.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before   the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (pursuant to an Administrative   Questionnaire or otherwise), Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to   which a Notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that Administrative   Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be   sent to such e-mail address.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be responsible   for any failure of the Platform or for the inability of any Lender to access any Communication   made available by Company to Administrative Agent in connection with the Platform and in no   event shall any such failure constitute an Event of Default hereunder.   10.9 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.   A. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive   the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of   the Letters of Credit hereunder.   B. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the   contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.16   and 10.17 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4, 10.5, 10.17 and   10.18 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of   Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this   Agreement.   10.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.   No failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any   power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power,     

 

   97   right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall   any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further   exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under   this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights   or remedies otherwise available.   10.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.   Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any   assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the   Obligations.  To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent   or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Agents or Lenders enforce   any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the   proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared   to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any   other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any   equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally   intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be   revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made   or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.   10.12 Severability.   In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be   invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the   remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction,   shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.   10.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights;   Damage Waiver.   The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be   responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing   contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto   or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders, or Lenders and Company, as a partnership, an   association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time   hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to subsection   9.6, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement   and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any   proceeding for such purpose.   To the extent permitted by law, Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any   claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or   punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or   as a result of this Agreement (including, without limitation, subsection 2.1C hereof), any other   Loan Document, any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of   proceeds thereof.       

 

   98   10.14 Applicable Law.   THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT   AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY SUCH LOAN DOCUMENT), AND   THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND   THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND   ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF   NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS   LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF   LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF ANOTHER LAW.   10.15 Construction of Agreement; Nature of Relationship.   Company acknowledges that (i) it has been represented by counsel in the   negotiation and documentation of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) it has had full and fair   opportunity to review and revise the terms of this Agreement, (iii) this Agreement has been   drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and (iv) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender or   other Agent has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Company arising out of or in   connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship   between Administrative Agent, the other Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and Company, on the   other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.    Accordingly, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this   Agreement shall not be construed against or in favor of another party.   10.16 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.   (a)  Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence   any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether   in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing   Lender, the Swing Line Lender, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this   Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any   forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the   United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from   any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the   jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or   proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent   permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final   judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in   other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in   this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative   Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender may otherwise have to bring   any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against   Company  or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.   (b)  Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent   permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of   venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan     

 

   99   Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection.  Each of the parties hereto   hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an   inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.   (c)  Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner   provided for notices in subsection 10.8.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any   party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.   10.17 Waiver of Jury Trial.    EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES   TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR   CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR   ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM   RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE   LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.  The scope   of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any   court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort   claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.  Each party hereto   acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that   each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each will   continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings.  Each party hereto further warrants   and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and   voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.  THIS   WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED   EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN   WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SUBSECTION 10.17 AND   EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL   APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR   MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN   DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING   TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.  In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be   filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.   10.18 Confidentiality.   Each Lender shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the   requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for   handling confidential information of this nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that   in any event a Lender may make disclosures (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,   employees and agents, including accountants, and legal counsel and other advisors who are   engaged in evaluating, approving, negotiating, structuring or administering this Agreement (it   being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the   confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential on   substantially the same terms as provided herein), (b) to the extent requested by any Government   Authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or   similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise

In   addition, upon reasonable advance notice to Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders may   disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data   collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to   Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates may place   customary “tombstone” advertisements relating hereto in publications (including publications   circulated in electronic form) of its choice at its own expense (which shall be subject to review   and comment by Company prior to publication).   10.19 Counterparts; Effectiveness.   This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or   in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties   hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed   an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;   signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single   counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

      SCHEDULE 5.6      LITIGATION   In October 2011, a putative class action lawsuit entitled Roger Krueger, et al. vs. Ameriprise   Financial, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against   the Company, certain of its present or former employees and directors, as well as certain   fiduciary committees on behalf of participants and beneficiaries of the Ameriprise Financial   401(k) Plan. The alleged class period is from October 1, 2005 to the present. The action alleges   that Ameriprise breached fiduciary duties under ERISA, by selecting and retaining primarily   proprietary mutual funds with allegedly poor performance histories, higher expenses relative to   other investment options and improper fees paid to Ameriprise Financial or its subsidiaries. On   March 26, 2015, the parties submitted to the Court for approval a settlement in the amount of   $27.5 million that would result in full and final dismissal of all claims. On April 6, 2015, the   Court preliminarily approved the settlement, and set a final approval hearing for July 13, 2015.   The settlement, net of insurance recovery, has no impact to the Company’s consolidated results   of operations.    In September 2011, the California Department of Insurance (“CA DOI”) issued an Order to   Show Cause administrative action against RiverSource Life Insurance Company alleging that   certain claims handling practices reviewed in a 2007-2008 market conduct exam did not comply   with applicable law. In August 2014, RiverSource Life Insurance Company and the CA DOI   reached an agreement in principle to settle all pending allegations for $800,000, with the   exception of a single allegation related to certain coverage determinations made under long term   care insurance policies issued between 1989-1992. An administrative hearing on this remaining   allegation concluded in November 2014, and in April 2015 a decision was issued by the   California Insurance Commissioner resolving the matter in favor of RiverSource Life Insurance   Company, finding no violations of the California Insurance Code and no penalties warranted   against RiverSource Life Insurance Company.   In November 2014, a lawsuit was filed against the Company’s London-based asset management   affiliate in England’s High Court of Justice Commercial Court, entitled Otkritie Capital   International Ltd and JSC Otkritie Holding v. Threadneedle Asset Management Ltd. and   Threadneedle Management Services Ltd. (“Threadneedle Defendants”). Claimants allege that the   Threadneedle Defendants should be held liable for the wrongful acts of one of its former   employees, who in February 2014 was held jointly and severally liable with several other parties   for conspiracy and dishonest assistance in connection with a fraud perpetrated against Claimants   in 2011. Claimants allege they were harmed by that fraud in the amount of $120 million. The   Threadneedle Defendants have applied to the Court for an Order dismissing the proceedings as   an abuse of process of the court, with a hearing on the application set for June 10, 2015. The     

 

      Company cannot reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter   due to the early procedural status of the case, the number of parties involved, and the failure to   allege any specific, evidence based damages.
