LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of November 2, 2017 among THE  HERTZ  CORPORATION,  a  Delaware  corporation  (together  with  its  successors  and assigns, the “Applicant”), the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties to this Agreement (as further defined in Section 1.1, the “Lenders”), the issuing lenders from time to time parties to this Agreement (as further defined in Section 1.1, the “Issuing Lenders”) and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacities, respectively, and as further defined in Section 1.1, the “Administrative Agent” and the “Collateral Agent”); with Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as syndication agent (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”), and Bank of Montreal, BNP Paribas, Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and Royal Bank of Canada, each as a co-documentation agent (in such capacity, the “Co-Documentation Agents”). Capitalized terms are used herein as defined in Section 1.1.

The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

WHEREAS, the Applicant is entering into this Agreement to provide for a letter of credit facility for letters of credit initially up to an aggregate face amount of $400.0 million on a Dollar Equivalent basis upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, reference is made to the Credit Agreement (the “Senior Credit Agreement”), dated as of June 30, 2016, by and among the Applicant, the subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other agents party thereto, as the same may be amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time;

WHEREAS, the aggregate amount of letters of credit available to be issued under this Agreement shall not be greater than the aggregate amount of permanent reduction of the Tranche B-1 Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) or the L/C Commitment  Amount  (as  defined  in  the  Senior  Credit  Agreement),  in  each  case,  reduced pursuant to Section 4.4(e) of the Senior Credit Agreement after the date hereof;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.   DEFINITIONS.

1.1    Defined Terms.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“ABR”:  for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next
1/100 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for an interest period of one month commencing on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%.   For purposes hereof:   “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, the highest per annum interest rate

1

published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (Selected Interest Rates) as the “bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer quoted therein, any similar rate quoted therein (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) or any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent). “Federal Funds Effective Rate” shall mean, for any day, the rate calculated by the New York  Fed  based  on  such  day’s  federal  funds  transactions  by  depository  institutions  (as determined in such manner as the New York Fed shall set forth on its public website from time to time) and published on the next succeeding Business Day by the New York Fed as the federal funds effective rate, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. “New York Fed” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, respectively.  If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, of the first sentence hereof until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist.

“Acceleration”:  as defined in Section 9(e).

“Accounts”:  as defined in the UCC; and, with respect to any Person, all such Accounts  of such  Person,  whether now  existing or existing in  the future,  including (a) all accounts receivable of such Person (whether or not specifically listed on schedules furnished to the Administrative Agent), including all accounts created by or arising from all of such Person’s sales of goods or rendition of services made under any of its trade names, or through any of its divisions, (b) all unpaid rights of such Person (including rescission, replevin, reclamation and stopping in transit) relating to the foregoing or arising therefrom, (c) all rights to any goods represented by any of the foregoing, including returned or repossessed goods, (d) all reserves and credit  balances  held  by  such  Person  with  respect  to  any  such  accounts  receivable  of  any Obligors, (e) all guarantees or collateral for any of the foregoing and (f) all rights relating to any of the foregoing.

“Acquired Indebtedness”:  Indebtedness of a Person (i) existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary or (ii) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person, in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such acquisition.   Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to be Incurred on the date of the related acquisition of assets from any Person or the date the acquired Person becomes a Subsidiary.

“Additional Assets”:  (i) any property or assets that replace the property or assets that are the subject of an Asset Disposition; (ii) any property or assets (other than Indebtedness and Capital Stock) used or to be used by the Applicant or a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise useful in a Related  Business (including any capital expenditures on  any property or assets already so used); (iii) the Capital Stock of a Person that is engaged in a Related Business and becomes a Restricted 

2

Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Applicant or another Restricted Subsidiary; or (iv) Capital Stock of any Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary acquired from a third party.

“Additional Indebtedness”:  as defined in the Intercreditor Agreements or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, or, if no such Intercreditor Agreements are in effect, any Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on Collateral and is permitted to be so secured by Section 8.2, and is designated as “Additional Indebtedness” by the Applicant in writing to the Administrative Agent.

“Additional Obligations”:    senior or subordinated Indebtedness (which Indebtedness may be (x) secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations under the Credit Documents, (y) secured by a Lien ranking junior to the Lien securing the Obligations under the Credit Documents or (z) unsecured), including customary bridge financings; provided that (a) the maturity date of such Additional Obligations shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date (other than an earlier maturity date for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions (as determined by the Applicant in good faith), would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date than the Maturity Date), (b) such Additional Obligations shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of any Credit Party that does not also secure the Obligations under the Credit Documents, or guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Applicant other than the Subsidiary Guarantors, (c) if secured by Collateral, such Additional Obligations shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements or Other Intercreditor Agreement  and  (d)  to  the  extent  such  Additional  Obligations  are  subordinated  in  right  of payment to the Obligations under the Credit Documents, provide for customary payment subordination to the Obligations under the Credit Documents as determined by the Applicant in good faith.

“Additional Obligations Documents”:  any document or instrument (including any guarantee, security agreement or mortgage) issued or executed and delivered with respect to any Additional Obligations by the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary.

“Adjustment Date”:   (i) for purpose of determining whether the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Margin in clause (a) or clause (b) of the definition of “Pricing Grid” is applicable, the date on which S&P or Moody’s effects the change in the Specified Rating requiring such a change and (ii) for purpose of determining the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Margin that corresponds to the level of “Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio” on the Pricing Grid each date on or after the last day of the Applicant’s first fiscal quarter ended after the Closing Date that is the second Business Day following receipt by the Lenders of both (a) the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b), as applicable, for the most recently completed fiscal period and (b) the related Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section
7.2(a) with respect to such fiscal period.

“Administrative Agent”:  as defined in the Preamble hereto and shall include any successor to the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 10.10.

3

“Affiliate”:   with respect to any specified Person, any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.  For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“Affiliate Transaction”:  as defined in Section 8.6(a).

“Agents”:    the collective reference to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents.

“Aggregate Outstanding Credit”:  as to any Lender at any time, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding.

“Agreement”:    this  Letter  of  Credit  Agreement,  as  amended,  supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Amendment”:  as defined in Section 8.8(c).

“Anti-Corruption Laws”:  the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and all laws, rules and regulations of the European Union and United Kingdom applicable to the Applicant or its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.

“Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage”:  during the period from the Closing Date until the first Adjustment Date, the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage shall at all times equal 0.45% per annum.  The Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage will be adjusted on each Adjustment Date to the applicable rate per annum set forth under clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Pricing Grid”, as applicable, under the heading “Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage”  on  the  Pricing  Grid  which  corresponds  to  the  Consolidated  Total  Corporate Leverage Ratio determined from the financial statements and Compliance Certificate relating to the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Adjustment Date. If it is subsequently determined before the date on which all L/C Obligations have been repaid and all Commitments have been terminated that the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest or fees for any period based on an Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  “Applicable  Commitment  Fee  Percentage”  for  any  day occurring  within  the  period  covered  by  such  Compliance  Certificate  shall  retroactively  be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the Applicant for the relevant period as a result of the miscalculation of the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable by the Applicant upon the date that is five Business Days after notice by the Administrative Agent to the Applicant of such miscalculation.  During or prior to such five Business Day period and thereafter, if the preceding sentence is complied with, the failure to 

4

previously pay such interest and fees at the correct Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage and the delivery of such inaccurate certificate shall not in and of themselves constitute a Default or Event of Default and no amounts shall be payable at the Default Rate in respect of any such interest or fees.

“Applicable Margin”:  in the case of (a) Letter of Credit Commissions, 3.25% per annum during the period from the Closing Date until the first Adjustment Date and (b) any L/C Participant Default Interest Amount, 2.25% per annum during the period from the Closing Date until the first Adjustment Date.  The Applicable Margins with respect to the Letter of Credit Commissions will be adjusted on each Adjustment Date to the applicable rate per annum set forth under clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Pricing Grid”, as applicable, under the heading “Letter of Credit Commissions” on the Pricing Grid which corresponds to the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio determined from the financial statements and Compliance Certificate relating to the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Adjustment Date. The Applicable Margins with respect to the L/C Participant Default Interest Amount will be adjusted on each Adjustment Date to the applicable rate per annum set forth under the heading “L/C Participant Default Interest Amount” on the Pricing Grid which corresponds to the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio determined from the financial statements and Compliance Certificate relating to the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Adjustment Date. If it is subsequently determined before the date on which all L/C Obligations then outstanding have been repaid and all Commitments have been terminated, that the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders, received interest or fees for any period based on an Applicable Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the Applicant for the relevant period as a result of the miscalculation of the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable by the Applicant upon  the  date  that  is  five  Business  Days  after  notice  by  the  Administrative  Agent  to  the Applicant of such miscalculation.   During or prior to such five Business Day period and thereafter, if the preceding sentence is complied with, the failure to previously pay such interest and fees at the correct Applicable Margin and the delivery of such inaccurate certificate shall not in and of themselves constitute a Default or Event of Default and no amounts shall be payable at the Default Rate in respect of any such interest or fees.

“Applicable Rating Threshold”:  as defined in the definition of “Pricing Grid” in this Section 1.1.

“Applicant”:  as defined in the Preamble hereto.

“Approved Fund”:  as defined in Section 11.6(b).

(h)       In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Applicant, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of  Default  or  specified  Event  of  Default,  as  applicable,  exists  on  the  date  the  definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Applicant has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (h), and any Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into or irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

(i)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited
Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

(i)        determining  compliance  with  any  provision  of  this  Agreement which requires the calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Corporate Leverage Ratio; or

(ii)       testing  baskets  set  forth  in  this  Agreement  (including  baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Tangible Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Applicant (the Applicant’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or irrevocable notice of 

61

redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given, as applicable (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds of such Incurrence) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Applicant are available, the Applicant could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Applicant has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Applicant or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction or any  applicable  currency  exchange  rate,  at  or  prior  to  the  consummation  of  the  relevant transaction or action, such baskets, ratios or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.   If the Applicant has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Asset Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Applicant or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds of such Incurrence) have been consummated; provided that, with respect to the making of Restricted Payments on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio shall also be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds of such Incurrence) have not been consummated.

1.4       Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured (all such liabilities, other than any Excluded  Liability,  the  “Covered  Liabilities”),  may  be  subject  to  the  Write-Down  and Conversion Powers and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)       the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers to any such Covered Liability arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

62

(b)        the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such Covered Liability, including, if applicable

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such Covered
Liability;

(ii)       a conversion of all, or a portion of, such Covered Liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such Covered Liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(iii)     the variation of the terms of such Covered Liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Section
1.4 shall modify or otherwise alter the rights or obligations with respect to any liability that is not a Covered Liability.

SECTION 2.   [RESERVED].

SECTION 3.   LETTERS OF CREDIT.

3.1    Letters of Credit.

(a)       Subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereof, the Applicant may request that the applicable Issuing Lender issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3.1(a), the “Letters of Credit” or “L/Cs”) for the account of the Applicant or any of its Subsidiaries (so long as the Applicant is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) on any Business Day during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (1) the aggregate L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed its L/C Commitment Amount, (2) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit of all the Lenders would exceed the aggregate Commitments of  all  the  Lenders  then  in  effect  or  (3)  the  aggregate  L/C  Obligations  would  exceed  the Unblocked Commitment Amount (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent reasonably requested by an Issuing Lender, reasonably assist such Issuing Lender in calculating the aggregate L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and the Aggregate Outstanding Credit of such Issuing Lender for purposes of determining compliance with clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this clause (a)) (it being understood and agreed  that  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  calculate  the  Dollar  Equivalent  of  the  then outstanding L/C Obligations in respect of any Letters of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency on the date on which the Applicant has given the Administrative Agent a L/C Request with respect to any Letter of Credit for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.1).

63

(b)       Each  Letter  of  Credit  shall  (i)  be  denominated  in  Dollars  or  any Designated Foreign Currency requested by the Applicant and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Applicant or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by the Applicant or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Commercial L/C”) and (ii) unless cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Lender expire no later than the earlier of (A) in the case of Standby Letters of Credit (subject  to,  if  requested  by the  Applicant  and  agreed  to  by the  Issuing  Lender,  automatic renewals for successive periods not exceeding one year ending prior to the 5th day prior to the Maturity Date, as applicable), one year after its date of issuance and the 5th day prior to the Maturity Date, or (B) in the case of Commercial L/Cs, one year after its date of issuance and the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Barclays Bank PLC and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank shall only be required to issue Standby Letters of Credit hereunder.

(c)       Unless  otherwise  agreed  by  the  applicable  Issuing  Lender  and  the Applicant, each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and to the extent not prohibited by such laws, the ISP shall apply  to  each  Standby  Letter  of  Credit,  and  the  Uniform  Customs  shall  apply  to  each Commercial L/C.  The ISP shall not in any event apply to this Agreement.  All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only.

(d)       No Issuing Lender shall at any time issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)    The Applicant may from time to time request, during the Commitment
Period, but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date, that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, at their respective addresses for notices specified herein, an L/C Request therefor in the form of Exhibit B hereto (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request (which L/C Request must have been received by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion)).   Each L/C Request shall specify whether the requested Letter of Credit is to be denominated in Dollars or any Designated Foreign Currency.   Upon receipt of any L/C Request, such Issuing Lender will process such L/C Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required, unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and  information  relating  thereto)  by  issuing  the  original  of  such  Letter  of  Credit  to  the beneficiary thereof or as 

64

otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Applicant. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Applicant promptly following the issuance thereof.   No Issuing Lender shall amend, cancel or waive presentation of any Letter of Credit, or replace any lost, mutilated or destroyed Letter of Credit, without the prior written consent of the Applicant.  Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Applicant and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender copies of such issuance or amendment.  With regards to Commercial L/Cs, each Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week provide the Administrative Agent, by facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregate daily outstanding Commercial L/Cs during the previous week.

(b)       The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Applicant shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Applicant that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1.  Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.1, then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Applicant in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.

3.3    Fees, Commissions and Other Charges.

(a)       The Applicant shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit a fronting fee equal to 0.15% per annum calculated on the basis of a 360-day year (but in no event less than $500 per annum for each Letter of Credit issued on its behalf) of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Maturity Date or such other date as the Commitments shall terminate. Such fees shall be nonrefundable. Such  fees  shall  be  payable  in  Dollars,  notwithstanding  that  a  Letter  of  Credit  may  be denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency.  In respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, such fees shall be converted into Dollars at the Spot Rate of Exchange.

(b)      In addition to the foregoing fees, the Applicant agrees to pay amounts necessary to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender.

3.4    Participant’s Acquisition of Participations in Letters of Credit.

(a)       On the Closing Date, without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders hereby grant to each L/C Participant, and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have acquired and received from each Issuing Lender that has issued or may issue any Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, 

65

an undivided interest and participation (each, a “L/C Participation”), in each Letter of Credit that may be issued pursuant to Section 3.1 equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage (determined on the date of issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit) of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit.  Each L/C Participant hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees that if an Issuing Lender makes a disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender which is not reimbursed by the  Applicant on the date due pursuant to Section 3.5, or is required to refund any reimbursement payment in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender to the Applicant for any reason, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender upon demand (which demand, in the case of any demand made in respect of any draft under a Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, shall not be made prior to the date that the amount of such draft shall be converted into Dollars in accordance with Section 3.5) at the Administrative Agent’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage (with the Administrative Agent having the responsibility to determine and keep record of the Commitment Percentage of the L/C Participants for this purpose and all other purposes hereunder) of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b)       If  any  amount  required  to  be  paid  by  any  L/C  Participant  to  the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender on demand by such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such demand is made, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, times the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  If any such amount required to be paid by  any  L/C  Participant  pursuant  to  Section  3.4(a)  is  not  in  fact  made  available  to  the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon (the “L/C Participant Default Interest Amount”) (with interest based on the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated in Designated Foreign Currencies) calculated from such due date at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.  A certificate of an Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection (which shall include calculations of any such amounts in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)       Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received through the Administrative Agent from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a),  such Issuing Lender receives through the Administrative Agent any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Applicant or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent or by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise 

66

the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment on  the  next  succeeding  Business  Day;  provided,  however,  that  in  the  event  that  any such payment received by an Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent shall be required to be returned  by such  Issuing  Lender,  such  L/C  Participant  shall  return  to  such  Issuing  Lender through   the   Administrative   Agent   the   portion   thereof   previously   distributed   by   the Administrative Agent to it.

3.5       Reimbursement by the Applicant.   Each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Applicant of any presentation of a draft under any Letter of Credit.  With respect to Letters of Credit, the Applicant hereby agrees to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender, upon receipt by the Applicant of notice from such Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of such draft so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment, if any, made by the Applicant with respect to any Letters of Credit shall be made to the applicable Issuing Lender, at its address for notices specified herein in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated (except that, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, in the event that such payment is not made to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days of the date of receipt by the Applicant of such notice, upon notice by such Issuing Lender to the Applicant, such payment shall be made in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such payment converted on the date of such notice into Dollars at the Spot Rate of Exchange) and in immediately available funds, on the date on which the Applicant receives such notice, if received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.   Any conversion by an Issuing Lender of any payment to be made in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency into Dollars in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall be conclusive and binding upon the Applicant and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error; provided that upon the request of the Applicant or any Lender, such Issuing Lender shall provide to the Applicant or Lender a certificate including reasonably detailed information as to the calculation of such conversion.

3.6    Obligations Absolute.

(a)      The Applicant’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Applicant may have or have had against an Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, provided that this paragraph shall not relieve any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Applicant may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)       The Applicant and each Lender also agree with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Applicant and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Applicant against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, provided that this paragraph shall not relieve any Issuing Lender or L/C 

67

Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Applicant may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c)       Neither any Issuing Lender nor any L/C Participant shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d)       The Applicant agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC, shall be binding on the Applicant and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Applicant.

3.7       L/C Payments.   If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Applicant of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to the Applicant in respect of any Letter of Credit in connection with any draft presented for payment under such Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit  in  connection  with  such  presentment  are  in  conformity  with  such  Letter  of  Credit, provided that this paragraph shall not relieve any Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Applicant may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.8       Credit Agreement Controls.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any L/C Request or other application or agreement submitted by the Applicant to, or entered into by the Applicant with, any Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

3.9       Additional Issuing Lenders.   The Applicant may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the applicable Lender (which consent may be granted or withheld in such Lender’s sole discretion), designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement.  Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender.

3.10     Indemnity.  The L/C Participants agree to indemnify each Issuing Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Applicant or any other Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of the Applicant to do so as and to the extent provided herein), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 3.10, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, 

68

penalties,  actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Issuing Lenders (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no L/C Participant shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender (or any Affiliate thereof).  The obligations to indemnify each Issuing Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) shall be ratable among the applicable L/C Participants in accordance with their Commitment Percentages.  The agreements in this Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1    Interest Rates.

(a)       If all or a portion of any commitment fee, letter of credit fee or other amount payable hereunder, in each case, shall not be paid when due (whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin plus 2.00%, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided that (1) no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (2) no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) on any overdue amount or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(b)       It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.

4.2    [Reserved].

4.3    [Reserved].

4.4       Mandatory Prepayments. In the event that on any date the Administrative Agent calculates that (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of the Lenders exceeds the aggregate Commitments then in effect (other than any such excess occurring by reason of any change in exchange rates) or (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of the Lenders exceeds 105% of the aggregate Commitments then in effect by reason of any change in exchange rates (it being understood and agreed that no Default or Event of Default shall arise hereunder or under any Credit Document merely as a result of the occurrence of any such excess described in clauses (i) or (ii) by reason of any change in exchange rates), in each case under clause (i) or (ii), 

69

the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to the Applicant and the Lenders.  Following receipt of any such notice, the Applicant will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, first, pay any Reimbursement Amounts with respect to Letter of Credit then outstanding and, second, cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender as shall be necessary to cause the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of the Lenders to no longer exceed the aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Dollar Equivalent of any such excess shall be calculated as of the date of such notice and the amount of any such repayment, prepayment, payment or cash collateralization shall be calculated after giving effect to any other repayment, prepayment, payment or cash collateralization required to be made on such day pursuant to this Section
4.4(a).

(a)   Termination or Reduction of Commitments.   The Applicant shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the then outstanding L/C Obligations, would exceed the Commitments then in effect and provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Applicant may condition such notice upon the occurrence or non- occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Applicant (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.   Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.

4.5    Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fees.

(a)       The Applicant agrees to pay quarterly in arrears to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that is a L/C Participant, a letter of credit commission (a “Letter of Credit Commission”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender on its behalf, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Letter of Credit Commissions calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed, of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein.  Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.   Such commission shall be nonrefundable and shall be payable in Dollars, notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit may be denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency.  In respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, such commission shall be converted into Dollars at the Spot Rate of Exchange.

70

(b)       The Applicant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each applicable Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Maturity Date, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, and on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on December 31, 2017.

(c)       The Applicant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives  any fees  in  the  amounts  and  on  the  dates  previously  agreed  to  in  writing pursuant to the Fee Letters by the Applicant, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement.

4.6    Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)       Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366- day year, as the case may be) for the actual days elapsed.   Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.   The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Applicant and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)       Each  determination  of  an  interest  rate  by  the  Administrative  Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Applicant and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Applicant or any Lender, deliver to the Applicant or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.1, excluding any ABR which is based upon the Prime Rate.

4.7    [Reserved].

4.8       Pro  Rata  Treatment  and  Payments.     Except  as  expressly  otherwise provided herein, each payment (except as provided in Section 4.14(a)) by the Applicant on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Commitments hereunder and any reduction (except as provided in Section 4.13(d) or 11.1(g)) of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.  Each payment (including each prepayment, but excluding payments made pursuant to Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.13(d), 4.14, 11.1(g), or 11.6) by the Applicant on account of principal of and interest on any Reimbursement Amounts shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding Reimbursement Amounts then held by the respective Lenders.  All payments to be made by the Applicant hereunder, whether on account of fees, Reimbursement Amounts or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to (x) 2:00 P.M., New York City time on the due date thereof in the case of payments denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars or any other Designated Foreign Currency not specified in clause (y) or (z), (y) 8:00 A.M., New York City time on the due date thereof in the case of payments denominated in Euro and Sterling and (z) 3:00 P.M., New York City time on the date that is one Business Day prior to the

Any pro rata calculations required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.8 in respect of any L/C Obligation denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall be made on a Dollar Equivalent basis.   Payments received by the Administrative  Agent  after  such  time  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been  received  on  the  next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Issuing Lenders or L/C Participants, as the case may be, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other  than  a  Business  Day,  the  maturity  of  such  payment  shall  be  extended  to  the  next succeeding Business Day, and, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

4.9    [Reserved].

4.10    Requirements of Law.

(a)       If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(i)        shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any L/C Request, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, in each case except for Non- Excluded Taxes, Taxes arising under FATCA, Taxes arising as a result of such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of clauses (b) or (c) of Section
4.11 and Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or Taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch profits taxes, of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;

(ii)       shall  impose,  modify  or  hold  applicable  any  reserve,  special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or

(iii)    shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any
Tax of any kind whatsoever);

72

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Applicant from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Applicant shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Letters of Credit.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Applicant, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this Section 4.10(a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.  Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender, through  the  Administrative  Agent,  to  the  Applicant  shall  be  conclusive  in  the  absence  of manifest error.   This Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything  to  the  contrary  in  this  Section  4.10(a),  the  Applicant  shall  not  be  required  to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10(a) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Applicant of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(b)       If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement  of  Law  regarding capital  adequacy or in  the  interpretation  or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such  change  or  compliance  (taking  into  consideration  such  Lender’s  or  such  corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then  from  time  to  time,  within  10  Business  Days  after  submission  by such  Lender  to  the Applicant (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this Section 4.10(b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Applicant shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction.   Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Applicant shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything  to  the  contrary  in  this  Section  4.10(b),  the  Applicant  shall  not  be  required  to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10(b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Applicant of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

73

(c)       Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, the Applicant shall not be required  to  pay  any  amount  with  respect  to  any  additional  cost  or  reduction  specified  in paragraph  (a)  or  paragraph  (b)  above,  to  the  extent  such  additional  cost  or  reduction  is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific  capital  adequacy  requirements  or  new  methods  of  calculating  capital  adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation, adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise.  In addition, the Applicant shall not be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above unless such Lender delivers a certificate from a senior officer of such Lender certifying to the Applicant that the request therefor is being made, and the method of calculation of the amount so requested is being applied, consistently with such Lender’s treatment of a majority of its customers in connection with similar transactions affected by the relevant adoption or change in a Requirement of Law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption of or change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

4.11    Taxes.

(a)       Except as provided below in this Section 4.11 or as required by law, all payments made by the Applicant and the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Lender under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”), excluding Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of any Agent or Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch  or  affiliate  thereof,  and  all  franchise  Taxes,  branch  profits  Taxes,  Taxes  on  doing business or Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall capital or net worth of any such Agent or Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, in each case imposed:   (i) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Agent or Lender, applicable lending office, branch or affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; or (ii) by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax and such Agent or Lender, applicable lending office, branch or affiliate other than a connection arising solely from such Agent or Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under, or received payment under or enforced, this Agreement.  If any such non- excluded Taxes (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the  Applicant  or  any  Agent  to  the  Administrative  Agent  or  any  Lender  hereunder,  the amounts so payable by the Applicant shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; 

74

provided, however, that the Applicant and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Applicant or any Agent to, or for the account of, any such Agent or Lender, shall not be increased (w) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section 4.11 or (x) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non- Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent becomes an Agent hereunder or such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (such change, at such time, and with respect to any Agent or Lender (or, if applicable, its relevant beneficiary or member), a “Change in Law”) or (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes arising under FATCA.  Whenever any Non- Excluded Taxes are payable by  the Applicant, as promptly as possible thereafter the Applicant shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be,  a certified copy of an original official  receipt received by the Applicant showing payment thereof.  If the Applicant fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Applicant shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such Non-Excluded Taxes and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.  The agreements in this Section 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)       Each Agent and each Lender, in each case that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

(W)     (i) on or before the date of any payment by the Applicant under this Agreement to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed and accurate signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (B) in the case of the Administrative Agent, also deliver two duly completed and accurate signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Applicant to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the Applicant and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments), with the effect that the Applicant can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding 

75

of any Taxes imposed by the United States and (C) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement;

(ii)       deliver to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Applicant; and

(iii)     obtain  such  extensions  of  time  for  filing  and  completing  such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Applicant or the Administrative Agent; or

(X)      in the case of any such Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”,

(i)        represent to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent that it is not (A) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Applicant within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of  the  Code,  or  (C)  a  “controlled  foreign  corporation”  described  in  Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code that is related to the Applicant;

(ii)       deliver to the Applicant on or before the date of any payment by the  Applicant,  with  a  copy  to  the  Administrative  Agent,  (A) two  certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2 (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, or successor applicable form certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such form to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement (and shall also deliver to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete copies of such form or certificate on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Applicant or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and

(iii)     deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Applicant, to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (iii) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the 

76

Applicant) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such request; or

(Y)      in the case of any such Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

(A)      with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is not claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, also deliver  to  the  Applicant  and  the  Administrative  Agent  (I) two  duly completed and accurate signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case so that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (II) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to an exemption from United States backup   withholding   tax   with   respect   to   all   payments   under   this Agreement; and

77

(ii)       deliver to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete copies of any such forms, certificates or certifications referred to above on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form, certificate or certification and obtain such extensions of time reasonably requested by the Applicant or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and

(iii)     deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Applicant, to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (iii) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Applicant) which  would  be  imposed  on  such  Lender  (or  beneficiary  or  member)  of complying with such request; or

(Z) unless otherwise furnished pursuant to clauses (W) or (Y), in the case of any such Lender that is an Issuing Lender or L/C Participant,

unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder (or a beneficiary or member in the circumstances described in clause (Y) or (Z) above, if later) which renders all such forms or statements inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form or statement with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Applicant and the Administrative Agent.

(c)       Each Lender and each Agent, in each case that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall on or before the date of any payment  by  the  Applicant  under  this  Agreement  to  such  Lender  or  Agent,  deliver  to  the Applicant and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form, certifying that such Lender or Agent is a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and that such Lender or Agent is entitled to a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

4.12     [Reserved].

4.13     Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts.

79

(a)       Upon the request, and at the expense of the Applicant, each Lender to which the Applicant is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Applicant the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Applicant in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the Applicant the opportunity to so contest unless the Applicant shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Applicant shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Applicant in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to afford the Applicant the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Applicant in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender, in its sole discretion in good faith, determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b)       If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than pursuant to paragraph (c) below) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Applicant to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Section 4.10 or 4.11, the Applicant shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount, except to the extent that, pursuant to Section 4.11, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office.

(c)       If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by the Applicant pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11, such Lender shall promptly notify the Applicant and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Commitments held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Applicant agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d)       If  the  Applicant  shall  become  obligated  to  pay  additional  amounts pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under Section 4.10 or 4.11, the Applicant shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Applicant to purchase the affected Commitment or L/C Participation, as the case may be, in whole or in part, at in the case of Commitments an aggregate price no less than such Commitment’s principal amount, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement.  In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Applicant, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Section 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Applicant or the substitute Lender. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Applicant shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under Sections 4.10 and 4.11 (as well 

80

as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this Section 4.13) prior to such substitution.  In the case of the substitution of a Lender, if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Applicant owing to such replaced Lender relating to the L/C Participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Lender being replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Applicant shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Lender.

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

(f)    The obligations of any Agent, Lender or Participant under this Section
4.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all L/C Obligations and all amounts payable hereunder.

4.14     Defaulting   Lenders.      Notwithstanding   anything   contained   in   this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)       no commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender;

(b)      in determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded;

(c)       the  Applicant  shall  have  the  right  (A)  to  seek  one  or  more  Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Applicant to each become a substitute Lender and assume all or part of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender, and in such event, the Applicant, the Administrative Agent  and any such substitute Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (B) upon notice to the Administrative Agent and, at the Applicant’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty;

(d)    if any L/C Obligations exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting

81

Lender then:

(i)        all or any part of such L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii)       if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Applicant shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding; or

(iii)     if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Applicant shall not be required to pay the commitment fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) or the letter of credit commission payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations;

(iv)     if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit commission with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages;

(e)       the  Issuing  Lender  shall  not  be  required  to  issue,  amend,  extend  or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);

(f)        any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first,  to  the  payment  of  any  amounts  owing  by  such  Defaulting  Lender  to  the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the cash collateralization of any participation in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined   by   the   Administrative   Agent,   (iv) fourth,   if   so   determined   by   the Administrative Agent and the Applicant, held in such 

82

account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Applicant or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Applicant or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations  under  this  Agreement  and  (vi) sixth,  to  such  Defaulting  Lender  or  as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Reimbursement Amounts in respect of letter of credit disbursements in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section
6.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Reimbursement Amounts owed to all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Reimbursement Amounts owed to any Defaulting Lender; and

(g)       in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Applicant, each applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 4.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Applicant, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender.  The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 4.14 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

SECTION 5.   REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES.     To  induce  the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, the Applicant hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, and on every Borrowing Date thereafter to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

5.1    Financial Condition.

(a)       The  audited  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  the  Applicant  and  its consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition as at such date, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended, of the Applicant and its consolidated Subsidiaries.  All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except as approved by a Responsible Officer of the Applicant, and disclosed in any such schedules and notes,  and  subject  to  the  omission  of  footnotes  from  such  unaudited  financial  statements). During the period from December 31, 2016, to and including the Closing Date, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Applicant and its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of the business or property of the Applicant and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and no purchase or other acquisition by any of them of any business or property (including  any  Capital  

83

Stock  of  any  other  Person)  material  in  relation  to  the  consolidated financial condition of the Applicant and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, which is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto and has not otherwise been disclosed in writing to the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date.

5.2       No Change; Solvent.   Since December 31, 2016, except as and to the extent disclosed on Schedule 5.2, (a) there has been no development or event relating to or affecting any Credit Party which has had or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (after giving effect to (i) the making of the Extensions of Credit to be made on the Closing Date, and (ii) the payment of actual or estimated fees, expenses, financing costs and tax payments related to the transactions contemplated hereby) and (b) except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement and each other Credit Document, no dividends or other distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital Stock of the Applicant, and none of the Capital Stock of the Applicant been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired for value by the Applicant or any of its Subsidiaries.  As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions described in preceding clauses (i) and (ii) in clause (a) above, the Applicant, together with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, is Solvent.

5.3       Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.   Each of the Credit Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, except (other than with respect to the Applicant), to the extent that the failure to be organized, existing and (to the extent applicable) in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company and (to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and (to the extent applicable) in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4       Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.   Each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Applicant, to obtain Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Credit Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Applicant, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the L/C Requests.   No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of the Applicant, with the Extensions of Credit to it, 

84

if any, hereunder, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or made  prior  to  the  Closing  Date,  (b)  filings  to  perfect  the  Liens  created  by  the  Security Documents (other than during any Collateral Suspension Period), (c) filings pursuant to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et seq.), in respect of Accounts of the Applicant and its Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which is the United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (d) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.   This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Applicant, and each other Credit Document to which any Credit Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Credit Party.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Applicant and each other Credit Document to which any Credit Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, in each case except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

5.5      No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents by any of the Credit Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Credit Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

5.6       No Material Litigation.   No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before  any  arbitrator  or  Governmental  Authority  is  pending  or,  to  the  knowledge  of  the Applicant, threatened by or against Holdings, the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary or against any of their respective properties or revenues, (a) except as described on Schedule 5.6, which is so pending or threatened at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7       No Default.  Neither the Applicant nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

5.8      Ownership of Property; Liens.  Each of the Applicant and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property located in the United States of America, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property located in the United States of America, except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.   Except for the Excluded Properties, the Mortgaged Properties described on Schedule 5.8 together constitute all the material real properties owned in fee by the Credit Parties as of the Closing Date.

85

5.9       Intellectual   Property.      The   Applicant   and   each   of   its   Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, all United States and foreign patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, and trade secrets necessary for each of them to conduct its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as provided on Schedule 5.9, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person against the Applicant or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries challenging  or  questioning  the  use  of  any  such  Intellectual  Property,  or  the  validity  or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Applicant know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Applicant, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Applicant and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements which, in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10   No Burdensome Restrictions.   Neither the Applicant nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any Requirement of Law applicable to the Applicant or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.12     Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Extensions of Credit will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board.  If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Applicant will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, referred to in said Regulation U.

5.13    ERISA.

(a)      During the five (5) year period prior to each date as of which this representation is made, or deemed made, with respect to any Plan (or, with respect to (vi) or (viii) of this Section 5.13(a), as of the date such representation is made or deemed made), none of the following events or conditions, either individually or in the aggregate, has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect:  (i) a Reportable Event; (ii) any failure to satisfy minimum funding

5.14     Collateral.  Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Mortgages will be effective to create (to the extent described therein) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein, except as may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

5.15    Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.  The Applicant is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

The written information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules concerning the Credit Parties furnished by or on behalf of the Applicant to the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives and the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of any Credit Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a whole, did not contain as of the Closing Date any material misstatement of fact and did not omit to state, as of the Closing Date, any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading in their presentation of the Applicant and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  It is understood that (a) no representation or warranty is made concerning the forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements as to anticipated future performance or conditions, and the assumptions on which they were based or concerning any information of a general economic nature or general information about Applicant’s and its Subsidiaries’ industry, contained in any such information, reports, financial statements, exhibits or schedules except that, in the case of such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements, as of the date such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements were generated, (i) such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements were based  on  the  good  faith  assumptions  of  the  management  of  the  Applicant  and  (ii) such assumptions were believed by such management to be reasonable and (b) such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information and statements, and the assumptions on which they were based, may or may not prove to be correct.

89

5.20    Labor Matters.  There are no strikes pending or, to the knowledge of the

(b)       None of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Applicant, any director or officer of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary, is the target of any Sanctions (a “Sanctioned Party”).

None of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary will knowingly (directly or indirectly) use the Letters of Credit (i) 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 material violation of Anti- Corruption Laws or (ii) for the purpose of funding or financing any activities or business of or with any Person that at the time of such financing is a Sanctioned Party or organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law, regulation or license.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, this Section 5.22 shall not apply in relevant part to Restricted Subsidiaries that are organized under the laws of any member state of the European Union solely to the extent 

90

this Section 5.22 would violate the provisions of the “Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96 of 22 November 1996 protecting against the effects of the extra-territorial application of legislation adopted by a third country, and actions based thereon or resulting therefrom” or any other applicable anti-boycott statute.

(b)       With respect to (i) any Domestic Subsidiary created or acquired (including by reason of any Foreign Subsidiary Holdco ceasing to constitute same) subsequent to the Closing Date by the Applicant or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) (ii) any Unrestricted Subsidiary being designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) any Immaterial Subsidiary that ceases to be such as provided in the definition thereof and (iv) any entity that becomes a Domestic Subsidiary as a result of a transaction pursuant to, and permitted by, Section 8.3 (in each case in clauses (i) through (iv), other than an Excluded Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request, except during any Collateral Suspension Period, promptly (i) execute  and  deliver  to  the  Collateral  Agent  for  the  benefit  of  the  Secured  Parties  such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected security interest (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Domestic Subsidiary that is directly owned by the Applicant or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent or to such agent therefor as may be provided by the Intercreditor Agreements or any Other Intercreditor Agreement the certificates (if any) representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the parent corporation of such new Domestic Subsidiary and (iii) cause such new Domestic Subsidiary (A) to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (B) to take all actions reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or advisable to cause the Lien created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in such new Domestic Subsidiary’s Collateral to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(c)       With   respect   to   any  Foreign   Subsidiary  (other  than   an   Excluded Subsidiary) created or acquired subsequent to the Closing Date by the Applicant or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), the Capital Stock of which is owned directly  by  the  Applicant  or  any  of  its  Domestic  Subsidiaries  (other  than  an  Excluded Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request, subject to clause (e) below, except during any Collateral Suspension Period, promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a new pledge agreement or such amendments

(d)       Except  during  any  Collateral  Suspension  Period,  at  its  own  expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection and priority and the continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the foregoing Liens or any other Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents in each case in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

(e)       Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, (A) the foregoing requirements shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements or any Other Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict with such terms, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall control; (B) no security interest or Lien is or will be granted pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise in any right, title or interest of any of Holdings, the Applicant or any of its Subsidiaries in, and “Collateral” shall not include, any Excluded Asset (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement); (C) no Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof shall be required to take any action in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction in order to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. or to perfect any security interests (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction); (D) to the extent not automatically perfected by filings under the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction, no Credit Party shall be required to take any actions in order to perfect any security interests granted with respect to any assets specifically requiring perfection through control (including cash, cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, but excluding Capital Stock required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.9(b) and (c) above); and (E) nothing in this Section 7.9 shall require that any Credit Party grant a Lien with respect to any property or assets in which such Subsidiary  acquires  ownership  rights  to  the  extent  that  the  Administrative  Agent,  in  its reasonable judgment, determines that the granting of such a Lien is impracticable or that that the costs or other consequences to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of the granting of such a Lien is excessive in view of the benefits that would be obtained by the Secured Parties.

103

(f)        Each  of  the  Lenders  hereby  irrevocably  authorizes  and  directs  the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document (the “Collateral Suspension” and the date such Collateral Suspension commences, the “Collateral Suspension Date”) at the request of the Applicant if and for so long as (A) the corporate credit rating or corporate family rating, as applicable, of the Applicant shall have an Investment Grade Rating (without a negative outlook) from both Moody’s and S&P (the condition under this clause (A), the “Collateral Suspension Rating Level Condition”), (B) the Applicant and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not have outstanding  any  Indebtedness  for  borrowed  money  that  is  secured  by  the  same  Collateral securing the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) (other than any such Lien being released) (the condition under this clause (B), the “Limited Collateral Release Condition”) and (C) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that, if on any date following the Collateral Suspension (1) the Limited Collateral Release Condition is no longer satisfied, (2) the Collateral Suspension Rating Level Condition is no longer satisfied or (3) the Applicant notifies the Collateral Agent in writing that it has elected to terminate the Collateral Suspension, the Credit Parties shall take all actions, execute all documents, deliver any documents and make any filings, in each case as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, to cause any Liens released under this Section 7.9(f) to be reinstated to secure the Obligations under this Agreement within 30 days after such date (or 60 days for any actions, documents or filings in respect of Mortgaged Properties) (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion) (the first such date on which a new Security Document is required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing, the “Collateral Reinstatement Date”) on substantially identical terms with the security provided immediately prior to the Collateral Suspension or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; provided that if the Applicant shall consensually grant and/or perfect any Lien on any Collateral to  secure  any  Indebtedness  for  borrowed  money,  such  Lien  shall  also  be  granted  to  (and perfected in favor of) the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties simultaneously with the grant in favor thereof, and the Applicant shall cause the lienholder for any such Indebtedness to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements or Other Intercreditor Agreement.

(g)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not enter into and no Credit Party shall be required to provide any Mortgage in respect of any improved real property acquired by any Credit Party after the Closing Date or to be mortgaged in connection with a MIRE Event unless the Collateral Agent has provided to Lenders (i) if such Mortgaged Property relates to an improved real property not located in a Flood Zone, a completed Flood Certificate with respect to such improved real property from a third-party vendor at least ten (10) Business Days prior to entering into such Mortgage or (ii) if such Mortgaged Property relates to an improved real property located in a Flood Zone, the following documents with respect to such improved real property at least thirty (30) days prior to entering into such Mortgage: (i) a completed Flood Certificate from a third party vendor; (ii) if such improved real property is located in a Flood Zone, (A) a notification to the applicable Credit Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Credit Parties that flood insurance coverage is not available and (B) evidence of the receipt by the applicable Credit Parties of such notice; and (iii) if required by Flood Insurance Laws, evidence of required flood insurance; provided that the Collateral Agent may enter into any such Mortgage prior to the notice period specified above if the Collateral Agent shall have received confirmation from each applicable Lender that such Lender has completed any necessary flood insurance due diligence to 

104

its reasonable satisfaction and provided further that the applicable Credit Party’s obligation to promptly grant a Mortgage under Section 7.9(a) shall be extended for so long as is required for the Lenders to complete their flood insurance diligence and related compliance.

7.10     Surveys.   Within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, with respect to those Mortgaged Properties (set forth on Schedule 7.10) for which the title policies delivered pursuant to Section 7.12 contain the standard “survey exception”, obtain surveys in such form as is sufficient to obtain from the respective title companies endorsements which have the effect of deleting such exceptions.

7.11     MIRE Events.   Prior to the occurrence of a MIRE Event, the Applicant shall  provide  (and  shall  use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to  provide  as  promptly  as reasonably possible prior to such MIRE Event) to the Collateral Agent the following documents in respect of any Mortgaged Property: (a) a Flood Certificate; (b) if such improved real property is located in a Flood Zone, if required by Flood Insurance Laws, evidence of required flood insurance and (c) any other customary documentation that may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

7.12     Post-Closing  Actions.    The  Applicant  agrees  that  it  will,  or  cause  its relevant Subsidiaries to, complete each of the actions described on Schedule 7.12 as soon as commercially reasonable and by no later than the date set forth on Schedule 7.12 with respect to such action or such later date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree.

SECTION 8.   NEGATIVE COVENANTS.   The Applicant hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and so long as the Commitments remain in effect, and thereafter until payment in full of all Reimbursement Amounts and any other amount then due and owing to any Lender or any Agent hereunder and termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to each applicable Issuing Lender):

8.1       Limitation  on  Indebtedness.   (a) The  Applicant  will  not,  and  will  not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Consolidated Vehicle Indebtedness.

(b)    Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  Section  8.1(a),  the  Applicant  and  its
Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following Consolidated Vehicle Indebtedness:

(i)    Indebtedness   in   a   maximum   principal   amount   at   any  time outstanding not exceeding in the aggregate the amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement), plus (B) in the event of any refinancing of any such Indebtedness, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(ii)       Indebtedness (A) of any Restricted Subsidiary to the Applicant or (B) of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary to which such Indebtedness is owed, or other event, that results in such 

105

Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the Applicant or a Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed, in each case, an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted by this clause (ii);

(iii)     Indebtedness  consisting  of  accommodation  guarantees  for  the benefit of trade creditors of the Applicant or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(iv)      (A) Guarantees by the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or any other obligation or liability of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness Incurred by the Applicant or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in violation of this Section 8.1), or (B) without limiting Section 8.2, Indebtedness of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary arising by reason of any Lien granted by or applicable to such Person securing Indebtedness of the Applicant or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Indebtedness Incurred by the Applicant or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in violation of this Section 8.1).

(c)       For  purposes  of  determining  compliance  with,  and  the  outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 8.1, (i) any other obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have Incurred such Indebtedness under this Section 8.1) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter  of  credit,  bankers’  acceptance  or  other  similar  instrument  or  obligation  secures  the principal amount of such Indebtedness; (ii) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 8.1(b) above, the Applicant, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness and may include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the clauses of Section 8.1(b) above (including in part under  one  such  clause  and  in  part  under  another  such  clause);  and  (iii)  the  amount  of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

(d)      For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit or deferred draw Indebtedness, provided that (x) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Closing Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such  Indebtedness  so  being  Incurred),  and  such  refinancing  would  cause  the  applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing,  such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the outstanding 

106

or committed principal amount (whichever is higher)  of  such  Indebtedness  being  refinanced  plus  (ii)  the  aggregate  amount  of  fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) incurred or payable in connection with such refinancing and (z) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to the L/C Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Applicant’s  option,  (i)  the  Closing  Date,  (ii)  any  date  on  which  any  of  the  respective commitments under such L/C Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities hereunder or thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose  thereunder,  or  (iii)  the  date  of  such  Incurrence.    The  principal  amount  of  any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

8.2      Limitation on Liens.  The Applicant shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien on any Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, except for the following Liens:

by a Lien could be classified as secured in part pursuant to clause (k)(8) above in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement (giving effect to the Incurrence of such portion of such Indebtedness), the Applicant, in its sole discretion, may classify such portion of such Indebtedness (and any Obligations in respect thereof) as having been secured pursuant to clause (k)(8) above in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement and the remainder of the Indebtedness as having been secured pursuant to one or more of the other clauses of this definition (other than clause (p)), (iv) in the event that a portion of Indebtedness secured by a Lien could be classified as secured in part pursuant to clause (p) above (giving effect to the Incurrence of such portion of such Indebtedness), the Applicant, in its sole discretion, may classify such portion of such Indebtedness (and any Obligations in respect thereof) as having been secured pursuant to clause (p) above and thereafter the remainder of the Indebtedness as having been secured pursuant to one or more of the other clauses of this Section 8.2 (other than clause (k)(8) above in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount” set forth in the  Senior  Credit  Agreement),  (v) the  principal  amount  of  Indebtedness  secured  by a  Lien outstanding under any category of Permitted Liens shall be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness, (vi) any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness shall also be permitted to secure any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends on Capital Stock constituting Indebtedness in the form of additional shares of the same class of Capital Stock, (vii) if any Indebtedness or other obligation is secured by any Lien outstanding under  any  category  of  Permitted  Liens  measured  by  reference  to  a  Dollar-denominated restriction,  the  Dollar  Equivalent  principal  amount  of  such  Indebtedness  denominated  in  a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the  case  of  revolving  credit  or  deferred  draw  Indebtedness,  provided  that  (x)  the  Dollar Equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Closing Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is refinanced by any Indebtedness or other obligation secured by any Lien incurred by  reference  to  such  category  of  Permitted  Liens,  and  such  refinancing  would  cause  the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded (and such refinancing Lien shall be deemed permitted) so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness or other obligation does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses (including accrued and unpaid interest) incurred or payable in connection with such refinancing and (z) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to the L/C Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Applicant’s option, (A) the Closing Date, (B) any date on which any of the respective commitments under such L/C Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities hereunder or thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder, or (C) the date of such Incurrence, and (viii) the principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred 

112

in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(h)       One or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Applicant or any of its Material Restricted Subsidiaries involving in the aggregate at any time a liability (net of any insurance or indemnity payments actually received in respect thereof prior to or within 60 days from the entry thereof, or to be received in respect thereof in the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) of $100.0 million or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Applicant, automatically the Commitments, if any, shall immediately terminate and all amounts owing under this Agreement (including all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken:   with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Applicant, declare (i) the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments, if any, shall immediately terminate; and (ii) all amounts owing under this Agreement  (including  all  L/C  Obligations,  whether  or  not  the  beneficiaries  of  the  then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents 

130

required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

In the case of all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Applicant shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (and the Applicant hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other obligations of the Applicant under the Credit Documents).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the applicable Applicant, shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  Amounts held in such cash collateral account with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Amounts shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Applicant (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party or as beneficiary of any security granted pursuant to the Security Documents shall have any right to exercise remedies in respect of such security without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

SECTION 10. THE AGENTS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES.

10.1     Appointment.   Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each agent in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the 

131

Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Lender, those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against any Agent or the Other Representatives.  Each of the Agents may perform any of their respective duties under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  that  the  Administrative  Agent  and  Collateral  Agent  may  perform  any  of  their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates).   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent agrees to act as the U.S. federal withholding  Tax  agent  in  respect  of  all  amounts  payable  by  it  under  the  Credit Documents.

10.2    Delegation of Duties.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.  Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent),  and  shall  be  entitled  to  advice  of  counsel  concerning  all  matters pertaining to such duties.  No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care.

10.3     Exculpatory Provisions.  None of the Agents or any Other Representative nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Holdings, the Applicant or any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents or any Other Representative under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) for  the  value,  validity,  effectiveness,  genuineness,  enforceability  or  sufficiency  of  this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) for any failure of Holdings, the Applicant or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.  Neither the Agents nor any Other Representative shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Holdings, the Applicant or any other Credit Party.  Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agents hereunder or given to the Agents for the account of or with copies for 

132

the Lenders, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, the Applicant or any other Credit Party which may come into the possession of the Agents and the Other Representatives or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

10.4     Reliance by Agents.   Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message or other electronic transmission, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Applicant or Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by each Agent.    Each Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant  to  Section  11.1(a)  as  it  deems  appropriate  or  it  shall  first  be  indemnified  to  its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to Section 11.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of L/C Participations.

10.5     Notice of Default.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or either of the Applicant or Holdings referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default.   In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Agents shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to Section 11.1(a); provided that unless and until the Agents shall have received such directions, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6     Acknowledgements  and  Representations  by  Lenders.     Each  Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents or the Other Representatives nor any of their officers,  directors,  employees,  agents,  attorneys-in-fact  or  Affiliates  has  made  any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Applicant or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Credit Parties that, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and 

133

other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings and the Applicant and the other Credit Parties, it has made its own decision enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Agents nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto.  Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course  of  its  business,  that  it  is  participating  hereunder  as  a  Lender  for  such  commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder.

10.7    Indemnification.

(a)       The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Applicant or any other Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of the Applicant to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the L/C Obligations shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, as the case may be, immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the L/C Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be  liable  for  the  payment  of  any  portion  of  such  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,  damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The obligations to indemnify each Issuing Lender shall be ratable among the L/C Participants in accordance with their  Commitment  Percentage. The agreements in  this  Section  10.7  shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

(b)       Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Credit Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Credit Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(c)       The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of  all Applicant  Obligations and Guarantor Obligations (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

134

10.8     The Administrative Agent and Other Representatives in Their Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Applicant or any other Credit Party as though the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives were not the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.   With respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by them, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not the Administrative Agent or an Other Representative, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives in their individual capacities.

10.9    Collateral Matters.

(a)      Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into (x) the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements (or a joinder to an Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable) and any Other Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and (y)  any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Other Intercreditor Agreement or enter into a separate intercreditor agreement in connection with the incurrence by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness (each an “Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”) to permit such Additional Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Credit Party or Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Credit Documents).  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each participant in Letters of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents,  the  Intercreditor  Agreements  or  any  Other  Intercreditor  Agreement  (both  as amended by any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement), and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.  Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to  enforce  or  seek  to  enforce  any  Security  Document  or  to  realize  upon  any Collateral for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) unless instructed to do so by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any guarantee by any Subsidiary (including extensions beyond the Closing Date or in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Closing Date) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the Security Documents.

135

(b)       The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case at its option and in its discretion (A) to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Credit Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby that are then due and unpaid, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Credit Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 8.4, (iii) owned by any Restricted Subsidiary of the Applicant which becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Applicant or  constituting  Capital  Stock  or  other  equity  interests  of  an  Excluded  Subsidiary,  (iv)  if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by Section 11.1), or (v) as otherwise may be expressly provided herein or in the relevant Security Documents (including in connection with any Collateral Suspension); (B) at the written request of the Applicant to subordinate any Lien on any Excluded Assets (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) (or to confirm in writing the absence of any Lien thereon) or any other property granted to or held by such Agent, as the case may be under any Credit Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien; (C) to release any Restricted Subsidiary of the Applicant from its Obligations under any Credit Documents to which it is a party (including its Subsidiary Guaranty) if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Applicant or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary and (D) enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and any Other Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to, the Lenders and their interest in designated assets, to give effect to any Special Purpose Financing, including to clarify the respective rights of all parties in and to designated assets.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at any time, the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.9.

(c)       The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by Section 11.1.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this Section
10.9(c).

(d)       No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this Section 10.9 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed by the Lenders that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

136

(e)       Notwithstanding any provision  herein  to  the  contrary,  any  Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by and in accordance with Section 11.1 or Section 11.18 with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Credit Party party thereto.

(f)        The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the Collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree.

10.10   Successor Agent.  Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may each resign upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Applicant and if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Applicant may, upon 10 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as applicable, remove such Agent.  If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders (in the case of the Administrative Agent) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Applicant (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000 million), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any issuers of Letters of Credit.   Each of the Syndication Agent and each Co- Documentation Agent, may resign as an Agent hereunder upon 10 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Applicant, or if any such Agent has admitted in writing that it is insolvent or becomes a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Applicant may, upon 10 days’ notice to such Agent, remove such Agent.   If the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Co-Documentation Agent shall resign or be removed as Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent hereunder, as applicable, the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of such Agent hereunder, if any, shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by any Agent or any Lender.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  Additionally, after such retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as such Agent, the provisions of this Section 10.10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  After the resignation or removal of any Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 10.10, such resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation or removal, although the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender with respect to 

137

all Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the effectiveness of its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent hereunder.

10.11 Other Representatives.    None of the Syndication Agent, any Co- Documentation Agent nor any of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of “Other Representative” contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Credit Document in its capacity as such.

10.12   Withholding Tax.   To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax, and in no event shall such Agent be required to be responsible for or pay any additional amount with respect to any such withholding.  If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.

10.13   Application of Proceeds.  The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral  Agent  agree,  as  among  such  parties,  as  follows:    subject  to  the  terms  of  the Intercreditor Agreements, any Other Intercreditor Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Credit Documents shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be distributed and applied in the following order (in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or outstanding as described below and subject to any application of any such amounts otherwise required pursuant to Section 4.4(b), or otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreements, any Other Intercreditor Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement): (1) first, to pay (on a ratable basis) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents, including in connection with enforcing the rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under the Credit Documents (including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral and any sums advanced to the Collateral Agent or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral); (2)  second, to pay (on a ratable basis) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing to each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders under the Credit Documents, including in connection with enforcing such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s rights under the Credit Documents; (3)  third, to pay (on a ratable basis) to the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to a Letter of Credit, any L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit that has not been paid by the Applicant, 

138

provided that the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall be subrogated to the rights of such Issuing Lender against such L/C Participant with respect to any amount paid pursuant  to  this  clause  “third”;  (4)  fourth,  to  pay (on  a ratable basis) any Reimbursement Amounts then outstanding and not reimbursed pursuant to clause “third” above, and to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (5)  fifth, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders; and (6)  sixth, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.   To the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fourth” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit which are  then  not  yet  required  to  be  reimbursed  hereunder,  such  amounts  shall  be  held  by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in such clause “fourth”.   To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fourth” are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among the Persons entitled to payment of such obligations based on the relative amounts of such obligations.

139

understood that (x) waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitment of all Lenders shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and (y) an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender);

provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing and in addition to Liens on the Collateral that the Collateral Agent is authorized to release pursuant to Section 10.9(b), the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10.0 million in any fiscal year without the consent of any Lender.

(b)       Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the L/C Participations.  In the case of any waiver, each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c)   Notwithstanding any provision  herein  to  the  contrary,  (x)  no  Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder 

140

or under any of the Credit Documents, except to the extent the consent of such Lender would be required under clause (i) in the further proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1(a) and (y) no  Disqualified  Lender shall  have any right  to  approve or disapprove  any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents.

(f)    Notwithstanding   any   provision   herein   to   the   contrary,   any   Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified to better implement the intentions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or as required by local law to give effect to or to protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties in any property so that the security interests comply with applicable law, or as contemplated by Section 11.18, in each case with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Credit Party party thereto.

(g)       If,  in  connection  with  any  proposed  change,  waiver,  discharge  or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Credit Document as contemplated  by  Section 11.1(a),  the  consent  of  each  Lender  or  each  affected  Lender,  as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders, at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such  other  Lender,  a  “Non-Consenting  Lender”)  then  the  Applicant  may,  on  notice  to  the Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender, (A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by  causing  such  Lender  to  (and  such  Lender  shall  be  obligated  to)  assign  pursuant  to Section 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Applicant in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Applicant to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Credit Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Applicant owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Commitments and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at their option, by the Applicant) to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) if applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 11.1(g), if the Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the 

141

(b)      Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit), as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer.

The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on each Credit Party, each Agent and each Lender.   The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or other electronic document or signature.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders and any Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including electronic mail and Internet or intranet websites); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3 if such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication.

143

mail  address  shall  be  deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of a written acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the posting thereof.

11.3     No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Credit Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.4   Survival of Representations and Warranties.   All representations and warranties made hereunder and in the other Credit Documents (or in any amendment, modification or supplement hereto or thereto) and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or such other Credit Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder.

11.5     Payment of Expenses and Taxes.    The  Applicant  agree,  jointly  and severally, (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for (1) all their reasonable and documented out-of- pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) syndication of the L/C Facility and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, (ii) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) efforts in accordance with the terms of the Credit  Documents  to  monitor  the  L/C  Participations  and  verify,  protect,  evaluate,  assess, appraise,  collect,  sell,  liquidate  or  otherwise  dispose  of  any  of  the  Collateral,  and  (2) the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel, solely in its capacity as counsel to the Administrative Agent, and such other special or local counsel, consultants, advisors, appraisers and auditors whose retention (other than during the continuance of an Event of Default) is approved  by the Applicant, (b) to pay or reimburse each  Lender, each  Lead Arranger  and  the  Agents  for  all  their  reasonable  and  documented  out-of-pocket  costs  and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents (limited to one firm of counsel for the Agents and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for the Agents), (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender, each Lead Arranger and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any 

144

such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Lead Arranger, each Agent and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (in the case of fees and disbursements of counsel, limited to one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Applicant of such conflict and  thereafter,  after  receipt  of  the  Applicant’s  consent  (which  shall  not  be  unreasonably withheld), retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)) arising  out  of  or  relating  to  any  actual  or  prospective  claim,  litigation,  investigation  or proceeding, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, brought by a third party or by the Applicant or any other Credit Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the issuance of the Letters of Credit or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Applicant or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of the property of the Applicant or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Applicant shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lead Arranger or any Lender (or any Related Party of any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non- appealable decision) of such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender (or any Related Party thereof), (ii) a material breach of any Credit Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) by such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender (or any Related Party thereof), (iii) claims of any Indemnitee (or any Related Party thereof) solely against one or more Indemnitees (or any Related Party thereof) or disputes between or among Indemnitees (or any Related Party thereof) in each case except to the extent such claim is determined to have been caused by an act or omission by the Applicant or any of its Subsidiaries (provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to indemnification of an Agent or Lead Arranger for a claim against it in its capacity as such) or (iv) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender (or any Related Party thereof) by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such.  Neither the Applicant nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Applicant’s indemnification obligations above to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.  All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.  Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Credit Parties pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted to the address of the Applicant set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Applicant in a notice to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in clauses (b) and (c) above, the Applicant shall have no obligation under this Section 11.5 to any Indemnitee with respect to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority.   The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable 

145

hereunder.  As used herein, “Related Party” means, with respect to any Person, or any of its affiliates, or any of the officers, directors, trustees, employees, shareholders, members, attorneys and other advisors, agents and controlling persons of any thereof, any of such Person, its affiliates and the officers, directors, trustees, employees, shareholders, members, attorneys and other advisors, agents and controlling persons of any thereof (other than, in each case, Holdings and its Subsidiaries and any of its controlling shareholders).

11.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)       The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the applicable Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than in accordance with Section 8.3, the Applicant may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Applicant without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 4.13(d), 4.14(c), 11.1(g) or this Section 11.6.

(b)       (i)   Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign (other than to a Disqualified Lender (so long as the Applicant has made the list of Disqualified Lenders available to the Administrative Agent, who may make it available to all Lenders) or any natural person) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including any Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit F) with the prior written consent of:

(A)      the Applicant, provided that no consent of the Applicant shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or 9(f) with respect to the Applicant has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation  of  the  sale  or  other  disposition  of  its  interest  in  such affiliate, the Applicant’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment;

(B)     the Administrative Agent (such  consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below); and

(C)    in the case of assignments of L/C Participations or Commitments, each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)    Assignments    shall    be    subject    to    the    following    additional conditions:

146

(A)      except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments, the amount of the Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
$5.0 million unless the Applicant and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Applicant shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or 9(f) with respect to the Applicant has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)      the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments;

(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

(D)      in  the  case  of  assignments  of  L/C  Participations,  the assignee shall  have delivered  to  the  Applicant  and  the Administrative Agent the documents required pursuant to Section 4.11(b).

For  the  purposes  of  this  Section  11.6,  the  term  “Approved  Fund”  has  the following meaning:   “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender (so long as the Applicant has made the list of Disqualified Lenders available to the Administrative Agent, who may make it available to all Lenders).

(iii)     Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations  of  a  Lender  under  this  Agreement,  and  the  assigning  Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.13 and 11.5, and bound by its continuing obligations under Section 11.16).  

147

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Sections 4.13(d), 4.14(c), 11.1(g) or this Section 11.6 shall, to the extent it would comply with Section 11.6(c) be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 11.6.

(iv)      The Applicant hereby designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative  Agent  agrees,  to  serve  as  the  Applicant’s  agent,  solely  for purposes of this Section 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).   The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Applicant, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Applicant, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)       Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender (unless such assignment is made in accordance with Sections 4.13(d), 4.14(c) or 11.1(g), in which case the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance shall not require execution by the assigning Lender) and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation 

fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6 and any written consent to such   assignment   required   by   paragraph   (b)   of   this   Section   11.6,   the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Applicant.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes  of  this  Agreement  unless  it  has  been  recorded  in  the  Register  as provided in this paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this Section 11.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such sections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under Section
9(a) or 9(f) with respect to the Applicant has occurred and is continuing or the Applicant has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

(c)       Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Applicant or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Lender (so long as the Applicant has made the list of Disqualified Lenders available to the Administrative Agent, who may 

148

make it available to all Lenders) or a natural person) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such L/C Obligations for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (D) the Applicant, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that, to the extent of such participation such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second  sentence  of  Section  11.1(a)  and  (2)  directly and  adversely affects  such  Participant. Subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 11.6, the Applicant agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) Sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.13 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender (so long as the Applicant has made the list of Disqualified Lenders available to the Administrative Agent, who may make it available to all Lenders).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Applicant, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Facilities or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary (x) to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or (y) for the Applicant to enforce its rights hereunder.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)       No Credit Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under Section 4.10, 4.11 or 11.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Applicant and the Applicant expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation.  Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.11(b) or (c), as applicable, and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.

149

(e)       Any Lender, without the consent of the Applicant or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)        No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to  any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Applicant if it would require the Applicant to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Letter of Credit under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Applicant shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(g)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the L/C Participations it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Applicant or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b).  The Applicant, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.  Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Applicant pursuant to this Section 11.6(g) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Applicant specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Section 11.6(g), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Applicant for such claim, any L/C Participations held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Applicant, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

(h)       If the Applicant wishes to replace the Commitments in whole or in part with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) advance notice to the Lenders, instead of reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 11.1.  Pursuant to any such assignment, all Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Applicant), accompanied by payment of any accrued 

150

interest and fees thereon.  By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit F, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith.  The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.
(i)    [Reserved]. (j)    [Reserved].
(k)    The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each in its capacity as such) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each in its capacity as such) shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of L/C Obligations, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

11.7    Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations.

(a)       If  any  Lender  (a  “Benefited  Lender”)  shall  at  any  time  receive  any payment of all or part of the Reimbursement Amounts owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to Section 3.1(b), 4.4, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13(d), 4.14, 11.1(g) or 11.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Reimbursement Amounts owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Reimbursement Amounts owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)       In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Applicant, any such notice being expressly  waived  by  the  Applicant  to  the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  upon  the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9(a) to set-off as appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under Section 9(a) by the Applicant any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Applicant.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Applicant and the Administrative 

151

Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.8     Judgment.   (a)   If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Credit Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 11.8 being hereinafter in this Section 11.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b)       If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 11.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Credit Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation  Currency  which  could  have  been  purchased  with  the  amount  of  the  Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.  Any amount due from any Credit Party under this Section 11.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Credit Documents.

(c)       The  term  “rate  of  exchange”  in  this  Section  11.8  means  the  rate  of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

11.9     Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy and other electronic transmission), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Applicant and the Administrative Agent.

11.10 Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.11   Integration.   This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Credit Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 

152

with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Credit Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

11.12 Governing Law.   THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE  STATE  OF  NEW  YORK  WITHOUT  GIVING  EFFECT  TO  ITS  PRINCIPLES  OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

(d)       agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e)       waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section
