Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time none of the Rating Agencies shall perform the functions of a securities rating agency, then the Company and the Administrative Agent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency (and to correlate the system of ratings of such substitute rating agency with that of the rating agency being replaced), and pending such amendment, the Credit Rating of any Rating Agency in effect immediately prior to such time shall continue to apply, provided that the designation of such replacement agency and such amendment are completed within 30 days of such event, and if not so completed within such 30-day period, Credit Rating Level 5 shall be the applicable Credit Rating Level until such time as the Company obtains a Credit Rating from one or more Rating Agencies.

“Credit Rating Level 1”: the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to A- by S&P or, A3 by Moody’s or A- by Fitch;
“Credit Rating Level 2”: the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB+ by S&P or, Baa1 by Moody’s or BBB+ by Fitch and Credit Rating Level 1 is not applicable;

15

The applicable Credit Rating Level shall be determined as follows: (a) in the event that only two of the Rating Agencies provide Credit Ratings, and such Credit Ratings are not equivalent, the Credit Rating shall be the higher of such ratings and (b) in the event that the Company receives more than two Credit Ratings, and such Credit Ratings are not all equivalent, the pricing shall be (i) if the difference between the highest and the lowest such Credit Ratings is one ratings category (e.g. Baa2 by Moody’s and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the pricing shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the highest of the Credit Ratings were used; and (ii) if the difference between the highest and the lowest such Credit Ratings is two ratings categories (e.g. Baal by Moody’s and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) or more, the pricing shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the average of the two highest Credit Ratings were used, provided that if such average is not a recognized rating category (e.g., the difference between the Credit Ratings is an even number of ratings categories), then the pricing shall be based on the lower of the two highest Credit Ratings.

16

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor
SECTION 2.    AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS
1.3.    Interest Rates; Eurodollar Notification.  The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Acceptable Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change.  The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars, Pounds, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings in the applicable currency from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate.  As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars, Pounds, Japanese Yen or Swiss Francs.  In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election with respect to any applicable currency, Section 2.14(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest for Loans denominated in such currency.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.14(e), of any change to the reference rate for any currency upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans denominated in such currency is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14, whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(c)), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate for any currency will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurodollar Rate for Loans denominated in such currency or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

The Term Loans denominated in Acceptable Foreign Currencies shall be Eurodollar Loans.  Each Term Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Lender to make such Loan and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

55

same as the Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to voluntary prepayments); provided that (x) (subject to clause (i) above) the interest rates, fees, amortization schedule and maturity applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof and (y) to the extent such terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loans are not consistent with the then existing Term Loans (except as permitted by the immediately preceding clause (x)) such terms shall be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Each notice from the Company pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Extension of Credit. The Company may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Term Commitment, an “Increasing Term Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Term Lender”); provided that (i) each Augmenting Term Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Company and the Administrative Agent (such approval by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Term Lender, the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Increasing Term Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Term Lender, the Company and such Augmenting Term Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section.  The making of any loans pursuant to any Incremental Amendment shall not be effective unless on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”), after giving effect to such Incremental Extension of Credit (i) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied (or, with respect to Incremental Term Loans used to finance an acquisition or investment (or refinance, replace, modify, repay, redeem, refund, renew or extend Indebtedness in connection therewith) or to refinance, replace, modify, repay, redeem, refund, renew or extend Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement, as of the date of consummation of such acquisition or refinancing, replacement, modification, repayment, redemption, refunding, renewal or extension of such Indebtedness, (x) the Limited Conditionality Representations are true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation relates solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation shall be true and correct as of such date) and (y) no Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1(e) as to the corporate power and authority of the Company to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Incremental Amendment and such other opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (iv) such other conditions as the Company and the Lender(s) of

The Revolving Foreign Currency Loans shall be Eurodollar Loans. Each Revolving Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Lender to make such Loan and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Revolving Lender and Augmenting Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Revolving Lenders under the applicable Facility, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Revolving Lenders, the portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans under the applicable Facility of each Revolving Lender under such Facility equal its Revolving Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans under the applicable Facility as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments in respect of such Facility (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5).  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.18 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.  For the avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender will be required to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase and the Company shall have no obligation to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any commitment for any Revolving Commitment Increase.

2.14.    Inability to DetermineAlternate Rate of Interest Rate.  (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(i)     the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as applicable (including because the Eurodollar Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable currency and such Interest Period,; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event in respect of such currency shall have occurred at such time; or
(ii)     the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, determined or to be determined for the applicable currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively 

66

certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans in such currency during such Interest Period (each of clause (ai) and (bii), a “Market Disruption Event”),; then 
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (1) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and, (2) with respect to Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (y) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (3) with respect to Loans denominated in a currency that is not Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (x) any Loans in the affected currency requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (2y) any outstanding Loans in the affected currency shall continue to bear interest at the rate most recently in effect with respect to such Loans; provided that, subject to Section 2.18, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Eurodollar Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans in the applicable currency under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor (with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars) shall any Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans; provided that during any period in which a Market Disruption Event is in effect, the Company may request that the Administrative Agent request the Majority Facility Lenders to confirm that the circumstances giving rise to the Market Disruption Event continue to be in effect; provided that (A) the Company shall not be permitted to submit any such request more than once in any 30-day period and (B) nothing contained in this Section 2.14 or the failure to provide confirmation of the continued effectiveness of such Market Disruption Event shall in any way affect the Administrative Agent’s or the Majority Facility Lenders’ right to provide any additional notices of a Market Disruption Event as provided in this Section 2.14.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, with respect to any currency, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Rate for Loans denominated in such currency with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein.  Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Eurodollar Rate for Loans denominated in any applicable currency with a 

67

Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date in respect of such currency.
(c)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(d)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable,  (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(be)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurodollar Screen Rate for an applicable currency or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurodollar Screen Rate for an applicable currency shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate in respect of the affected currency that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in such currency in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided further that, in each case, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, (A) if the affected currency is Dollars, any amendment pursuant to the above shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Facility Lenders of any affected Facility stating that such Majority Facility Lenders object to such amendment and (B) if the affected currency is any currency other than Dollars, such alternate rate of interest shall not be effective until consented to by the Required Lenders.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b), only to the extent the Eurodollar Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (1) with respect to Loans denominated inUpon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Eurodollar Rate in respect of any applicable currency, (i)  (1) if such currency is Dollars, (x) any Eurodollar Loans in Dollars requested to be made shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any 

68

Loans denominated in Dollars that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and, (2) if such currency is Canadian Dollars, (x) any Eurodollar Loans in Canadian Dollars requested to be made shall be made as Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (y) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (3) with respect to Loans denominated in aany such currency that is not Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (x) any Loans in the affected currency requested to be made shall not be made and (y) any outstanding Loans in the affected currency shall continue to bear interest at the rate most recently in effect with respect to such , on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, be converted into Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such currency and be made as an ABR Loans.
2.15.    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrowers on account of any commitmentfacility fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Five-Year2023 Term Percentages, Seven-Year2025 Term Percentages or the applicable Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.
(b)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Five-Year2023 Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Five-Year2023 Term Loans then held by the Five-Year2023 Term Lenders.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Seven-Year2025 Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Seven-Year2025 Term Loans then held by the Seven-Year2025 Term Lenders.  Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Dollar Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Dollar Loans then held by the Revolving Dollar Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Multicurrency Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Multicurrency Loans then held by the Revolving Multicurrency Lenders.
(d)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise (other than in respect of the principal or interest on Loans denominated in Acceptable Foreign Currencies), shall be made without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal or interest on Loans denominated in Acceptable Foreign Currencies, shall be made without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, London time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the London Funding Office, in the relevant Acceptable Foreign Currency in immediately available funds.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business 

69

Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the NYFRB Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the applicable Borrower.
(f)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average NYFRB Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.
2.16.    Requirements of Law.  (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include any Issuing Lender) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i)    shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for in each case (A) Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.17, (B) changes in the rate or basis of imposition of tax imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender, franchise taxes in lieu of such net income taxes and branch profits taxes, (C) Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of 

70

paragraph (d), (e), (f) or (i) of Section 2.17, (D) that are United States withholding taxes imposed under FATCA or (E) that are United States withholding taxes resulting from any Requirement of Law in effect on the date the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office, except to the extent that the Lender (or its assignor (if any)) was entitled, immediately prior to such designation of a new lending office or at the time of assignment, as applicable, to receive additional amounts from the applicable Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17);
(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 that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or
(iii)    shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements 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 or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its 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 adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, or such corporation for such reduction; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay additional amounts to compensate any Lender (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.17 or (ii) any change in the rate or basis of imposition of applicable taxes imposed on or measured by net income, franchise taxes in lieu of such net income taxes and branch profits taxes. 
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof shall in each 

71

case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented; provided that the protection of this Section 2.16(c) shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for Lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. No Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.16(c) with respect to any date unless it shall have notified the Company that it will demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 not more than 90 days after the date on which it shall have become aware of such incurred costs or reductions.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.
(d)    A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such amounts and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to pay amounts under this Section 2.16, and a Lender shall not make a claim under this Section 2.16, unless such Lender is imposing similar charges on, or making similar claims against, other borrowers of such Lender that are similarly situated as Borrower (if applicable) and (ii) the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company 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 nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(e)    If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to any Subsidiary Borrower or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any extension of credit to any Subsidiary Borrower, then, upon written notice by such Lender (each such Lender providing such notice, an “Impacted Lender”) to the Company and the Administrative Agent:
(i)    the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make extensions of credit to such Subsidiary Borrower shall forthwith be (x) suspended until each Impacted Lender notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing that it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to such Subsidiary Borrower or (y) to the extent required by law, cancelled;
(ii)    if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain or charge interest with respect to any outstanding Loan to such Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower shall repay (or at its option and to the extent permitted by law, assign to the Company) (x) all outstanding ABR Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower within three Business Days or such earlier period as required by law and (y) all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower on the last day of the then-current Interest Periods with respect to such Eurodollar Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; provided that, unless the Company otherwise elects prior to the required date of such repayment, the Company shall 

72

be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan in the form of an ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, as applicable, in the amount required to be so repaid by such Subsidiary Borrower, and the proceeds of such borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to such required repayment;
(iii)    if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain, charge interest or hold any participation with respect to any Letter of Credit for which such Subsidiary Borrower was the applicant therefor, such Subsidiary Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the L/C Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit within three Business Days or within such earlier period as required by law.
2.17.    Taxes.  (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, unless such taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, in which case (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) if the taxes so withheld are any taxes other than net income taxes, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, the “Non-Excluded Taxes”) or are Other Taxes, the amounts payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes including any such taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement as if such withholding or deduction had not been made, provided further, however, that no Borrower shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e), (f) or (i) of this Section, (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed under FATCA or (iii) that are United States withholding taxes resulting from any Requirement of Law in effect on the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or its assignor (if any)) was entitled, immediately prior to such designation of a new lending office or at the time of assignment, as applicable, to receive additional amounts from the applicable Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
(b)    In addition, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof.  If (i) any 

73

Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) any Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Borrower and the Company shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amounts 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, in the case of (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii); provided that the requirement to indemnify shall apply only if the applicable Borrower or the Company is required under this Section 2.17 to pay additional amounts with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes.
(d)    Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and the applicable IRS  Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non‐U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Company and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non‐U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(e)    A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(f)    The Administrative Agent and each Lender, in each case that is organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, shall, on or before the date of any payment by the Company under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to, or for the account of, such Administrative Agent or Lender, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form, certifying 

74

that such Administrative Agent or Lender is a “United States Person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and that such Administrative Agent or Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
(g)    If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position that the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(h)    Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that if it is demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that any Lender has overpaid in respect of any such amounts due, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse such Lender for such overpaid amount.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).
(i)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including 

75

as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph (i), "“FATCA"” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(j)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(k)    For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any other Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(l)    The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.18.    Indemnity.  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market.  A certificate setting forth the calculation in reasonable detail as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Company by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.19.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.15(e), 2.15(f), 3.4, 3.5 or 10.5, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

76

2.20.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent, or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Company which requires the consent of all the Lenders (including such Lender’s consent) and which has been consented to by the Required Lenders, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such assignment does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable Borrower shall be liable to the assigning Lender under Section 2.18 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such assigning Lender by such Borrower shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (iii) until such time as such assignment shall be consummated, the Company shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a), as the case may be, (iv) if the assignee is not already a Lender, the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (v) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (vi) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (vii) any such assignment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.  No action by or consent of the replaced Lender shall be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Company, the Administrative Agent, such replaced Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 11.6; provided that the replaced Lender need not be a party to the applicable Assignment and Assumption in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof (provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the replaced Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto).  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior 

77

thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
2.21.    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(a), fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Delayed Draw Term Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(c);
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(a);
(b)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.7(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the such Defaulting Lender future L/C Obligations with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements under any Facility in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and amounts in respect of L/C Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or amounts in respect of L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders under the applicable Facility pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments in respect of 

78

such Facility without giving effect to clause (d) below.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
(c)    the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1); provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 
(d)    if any L/C Obligations under any Revolving Facility exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    all or any part of the L/C Obligations under such Revolving Facility of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of the Revolving Extensions of Credit under such Revolving Facility of all non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations under such Revolving Facility does not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments in respect of such Revolving Facility of non-Defaulting Lenders;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.1 for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;
(iii)    if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;
(iv)    if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and
(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(e)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility, unless it is 

79

satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations under such Revolving Facility will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments in respect of such Revolving Facility of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Lender, shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Issuing Lender each 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 under any applicable Revolving Facility shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment in respect of such Revolving Facility and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans under such Revolving Facility of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.
2.22.    Exchange Rates.  (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each applicable Acceptable Foreign Currency, provided that, upon receipt of a borrowing notice pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or Section 2.5, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Acceptable Foreign Currency on the related Calculation Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.1(a)(i), 2.1(a)(ii) or 2.4(a), as applicable, with respect to such borrowing notice).  The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date, shall remain effective until the next succeeding Calculation Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 11.19 and any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and any Acceptable Foreign Currency.
(b)    No later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of (i) the principal amounts of the Loans then outstanding and denominated in Acceptable Foreign Currencies (after giving effect to any Loans denominated in Acceptable Foreign Currencies to be made or repaid on such date) and (ii) the L/C Obligations denominated in any Acceptable Foreign Currency then outstanding.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.
2.23.    Subsidiary Borrowers.  (a) After the Closing Date, the Company may designate, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, any Wholly Owned Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company.  Promptly following receipt of any Subsidiary Borrower Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make 

80

available to each Lender a copy thereof.  Unless any Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company within 15 Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders) of the receipt of such notice (a) that it is unlawful for such Revolving Lender to extend credit to such Subsidiary or (b) that such Revolving Lender is prohibited by operational or administrative procedures from extending credit under this Agreement to Persons in the jurisdiction in which such Subsidiary is located, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3, become a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement. 
(b)    If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company pursuant to Section 2.23(a) that it is unable to extend credit under this Agreement to Persons in a particular jurisdiction, and if an amendment to this Agreement would enable it so to extend credit without violating applicable law and in compliance with its applicable procedures, then such Lender shall so advise the Company and the Administrative Agent and endeavor in good faith to agree with the Company and the Administrative Agent on an amendment to this Agreement that would permit it so to extend credit, and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, will withdraw the notice delivered by it pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The parties hereto agree that any amendment referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, if it does not adversely affect the rights or interests of the Lenders, shall become effective if it is agreed to in writing by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company. 
(c)    Upon the execution by the Company and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder and a party to this Agreement; provided that no Subsidiary Borrower Termination will become effective as to any Subsidiary Borrower (other than to terminate such Subsidiary Borrower’s right to make further borrowings or request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Subsidiary Borrower or any Letter of Credit (except to the extent such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.10 or otherwise backstopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Lender) for which such Subsidiary Borrower is the applicant thereof shall be outstanding hereunder.  Promptly following receipt of any Subsidiary Borrower Termination, the Administrative Agent shall make available to each Revolving Lender a copy thereof.
2.24.    Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.  (a) In the event any Domestic Subsidiary of the REIT shall constitutethat is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and is a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (a) of the definition thereofbecomes a guarantor or other obligor with respect to bonds, notes, debentures or similar debt instruments issued by the Company or REIT, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary, as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming a guarantor or other obligor with respect to such other Unsecured Indebtedness described therein (unless such Indebtedness was incurred prior to such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor and not in contemplation of such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement), cause each such Subsidiarywithin 10 days, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall thereby become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. In addition, in the event any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company shall constitute a Material Subsidiary pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary, within 30 days (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) of such Subsidiary becoming a Material Subsidiary pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents and applicable law, to be a Guarantor hereunder. Without limiting the terms of this agreement, the Company shall cause all 

81

representations in the Loan Documents that apply to the Guarantors to be true and correct in all material respects, with respect to such new Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time each such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor (unless such representations apply to any earlier date). Without limiting the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall cause all covenants in the Loan Documents that apply to the Guarantors to be true and correct, with respect to such new Subsidiary Guarantor, at the time each such Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor. In connection with the delivery of any Joinder Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Subsidiaries that are not Domestic Subsidiaries, (ii) joint ventures, and (iii) any Subsidiary that is liable with respect to any Secured Recourse Indebtedness (other than any Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof) and (iv) any Foreign Subsidiary Holdco, in each case, will not be required to act as Guarantors. 
(b)    After the Closing Date, the Company may elect to have any Joint Venture become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, by having such Joint Venture execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement, in which case such Joint Venture shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
(c)    After the Closing Date, the Company may elect to have any Foreign Subsidiary become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, by having such Foreign Subsidiary execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent either a Joinder Agreement or a Foreign Subsidiary Joinder Agreement, and in each such case such Foreign Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. 
(d)    The Company may request in writing that the Administrative Agent release, and the Administrative Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guarantee Agreement so long as: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release; (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such written request at least five Business Days (or such shorter period to which the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the requested date of release together with an updated Compliance Certificate which gives effect to such proposed release; and (iii) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate pursuant to which an Authorized Officer of the Company certifies (together with such other evidence as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to confirm) that either (A) the Company has disposed of or simultaneously with such release will dispose of its entire interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor, all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liquidated and transferred to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or that all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been or simultaneously with such release will be contributed to an Unconsolidated Affiliate or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person other than REIT or any of its Subsidiaries, and the net cash proceeds from such disposition are being distributed directly or indirectly to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with such disposition; or (B) such Subsidiary Guarantor (i) will not, upon giving effect to such requested release, be a guarantor of or otherwise liable with respect to any other Unsecured Indebtedness of the REIT,bonds, notes, debentures or similar debt instruments issued by the Company or any of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of Material SubsidiaryREIT which would require it to be a Guarantor and (ii) would not be required to be a Guarantor pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary upon giving effect to such requested release. Delivery by the Company to the Administrative Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Company that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of 

82

such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. Upon the request of the Company, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to confirm to the Company in writing as to whether such Subsidiary Guarantor has been fully released from its guarantee of the Obligations, has no further liability with respect thereto and is no longer a party to the Guarantee Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing release provisions shall not apply to the REIT or General Partner, which may only be released upon the written approval of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders.
ARTICLE III 
LETTERS OF CREDIT
(e)    Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.24(a), (b), (c) and (d), from and after any date that the Administrative Agent first receives written notice from the Company that the Company has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating, then (i) subject to the terms of this Section 2.24(e), all Material Subsidiaries shall no longer be required to be Guarantors under this Agreement, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly release all Subsidiaries from the Guarantee Agreement; provided however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to release any Material Subsidiary from the Guarantee Agreement in the event that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) no Material Subsidiary shall be released in the event that such Material Subsidiary constitutes a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (a) of the definition thereof. In the event that at any time after the Company has an Investment Grade Rating, the Company shall no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, the Company and REIT shall within 30 days (or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after such occurrence cause all Material Subsidiaries to execute a Joinder Agreement and shall further cause to be satisfied within such 30 day period (or such longer period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) all of the provisions of Section 2.24(a) that would be applicable to the addition of a new Guarantor. In no event shall the provisions of this Section 2.24(e) entitle REIT or General Partner to be released from the Guarantee Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time during which the Company has an Investment Grade Rating the provisions of clause (a) of the definition of Material Subsidiary shall be applicable to a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company shall be required to cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing a Joinder Agreement and comply with the provisions of Section 2.24(a) as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming a guarantor or other obligor with respect to such other Unsecured Indebtedness regardless of whether the Company has obtained an Investment Grade Rating.
SECTION 3.    LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1.    L/C Commitment.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Company and its Subsidiaries and with a Borrower as the applicant on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) its L/C Obligations would exceed its Issuing Lender Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations would exceed the aggregate amount of L/C Commitments or (iii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is to be issued would be less than zero.  Each Letter of Credit shall be (i) either (x) a Dollar Letter of Credit and denominated solely in Dollars or (y) a Multicurrency Letter of Credit and denominated in Dollars or in any Acceptable Revolving Foreign Currency 

83

and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
(b)    The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any Applicable L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. In addition, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit that would result in a violation of one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.
3.2.    Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.  A Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit under a Revolving Facility by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender (and which Application shall indicate whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Dollar Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request; provided that it shall be a condition to any Letter of Credit issuance that such Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit as required by the Issuing Lender and using such Issuing Lender’s standard form (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).  Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application 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 the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application 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 otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Company.  The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Company promptly following the issuance thereof.  The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail), telecopy or electronic mail of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3.    Fees and Other Charges.  (a) Each Borrower will pay a fee on the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding Letters of Credit for which it is the applicant at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, which fee shall be shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is issued and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.  In addition, each Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account an issuance fee on each Letter of Credit for which it is the applicant equal to 0.125% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), payable on the firstquarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.  Such fees shall be payable in Dollars.
(b)    In addition to the foregoing fees, each Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit for which it is the applicant.

84

3.4.    L/C Participations.  (a) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility, the Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Applicable L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each Applicable L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Applicable L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Applicable L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued under the applicable Revolving Facility and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder.  On the Amendment Effective Date, each Applicable L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such Applicable L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Applicable L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued under the applicable Revolving Facility as of the Amendment Effective Date and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each Applicable L/C Participant in respect of any Letter of Credit agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under such Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower who was the applicant in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such Applicable L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Applicable L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned).  Each Applicable L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Applicable L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5Article V, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any other Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Applicable L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b)    If any amount required to be paid by any Applicable L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Applicable L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average NYFRB 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 Issuing Lender, times (iii) 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 Applicable L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such Applicable L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Applicable L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility.  A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any Applicable L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c)    Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Applicable L/C Participant its pro rata share of such

payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Applicable L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such Applicable L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5.    Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers.  If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower who was the applicant in respect of such Letter of Credit shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice.  Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated and in immediately available funds.  Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.12(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.12(c); provided that if any such amount is denominated in an Acceptable Revolving Foreign Currency for any period, such interest shall be payable at the rate charged by the Issuing Lender for reimbursement of overdue obligations in such Acceptable Revolving Foreign Currency owing by account parties with similar credit profiles to that of the Company; provided, further, that if any reimbursement is required to be paid in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars or an Acceptable Revolving Foreign Currency, and such reimbursement is not made in accordance with this Section 3.5, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan in an equivalent amount of such owed reimbursement and in the same currency and under the applicable Revolving Facility (provided such request would not result in the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit under such Revolving Facility at such time exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments in respect of such Facility) and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan.  If the applicable Borrower fails to make such reimbursement when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Revolving  Lender of the applicable disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s share thereof based on the Revolving Percentages (the “Reimbursement Percentage”).  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Reimbursement Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 hereof with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the relevant Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from such Lenders.
3.6.    Obligations Absolute.  Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3Article III shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, 

86

constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower's obligations hereunder.   Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their related parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Lender's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
3.7.    Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Company of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any 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 substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8.    Applications.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit or any provision of any Letter of Credit Agreement is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3Article III, the provisions of this Section 3Article III shall apply.
3.9.    Existing Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Existing Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Closing Date and listed on Schedule 3.9 shall, effective as of the Closing Date and without any further action by the Borrowers, be continued as a Letter of Credit hereunder and from and after the Closing Date shall be deemed a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof and shall cease to be outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. 
3.10.    Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with L/C Obligations representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Obligations) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in 

87

Section 9.1(h), (i) or (j).  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with L/C Obligations representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Obligations), be applied to satisfy other Obligations.  If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
3.11.    Letters of Credit Issued for the Account of Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Lender (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower that is the applicant in respect thereof (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of such Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant to this clause (c), the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in Section 8.1.
(d)    In addition, the Company may voluntarily remove any Unencumbered Properties from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value by delivering to the Administrative Agent notice of such removal, together with a statement that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, and the identity of the Unencumbered Property being removed, and a calculation of the value attributable to such Unencumbered Property. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in Section 6.17 and Section 8.1.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of Section 6.17(a), such Real Estate shall be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value so long as (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Required Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and (y) at no time after it is included does such Real Estate fail to satisfy any requirements of the Required Lenders imposed as a condition to such approval, and any requirements of the definition of Eligible Real Estate or of Section 6.17(a) in addition to those it failed to satisfy at the time such consent of the Required Lenders was provided for such inclusion.

None of the funds or assets of the Borrowers or the Guarantors that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are themselves the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

Except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:
(i)    in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of Company) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and 
(ii)    if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value (including without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Unencumbered Property by the Company or any such Subsidiary), the Company shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of such Unencumbered Property to the extent required by and in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient 

115

financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Administrative Agent may engage its own environmental consultant to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.
At any time while an Event of Default exists hereunder the Administrative Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments of any or all of the Unencumbered Properties included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value prepared by an environmental consultant as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to any such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of any such Unencumbered Property complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at any time that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable and objective grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, or that any of the Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, the Company shall promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent obtain and deliver to the Administrative Agent such environmental assessments of such Unencumbered Property prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to such Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Unencumbered Property comply with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Unencumbered Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Unencumbered Property and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All environmental assessments contemplated by this Section 7.67.3 shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be considered a breach of this Section 7.67.3 if permission from a third-party (including, without limitation, any owners or landlords) is required to conduct an environmental assessment and, after reasonable attempts, the Company is unable to obtain such permission for whatever reason and therefore does not perform the requested environmental assessment.
7.77.4.    Distributions.  (a) In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the Company, REIT and General Partner shall not pay any Distribution to its partners, members or other owners, other than (A) the minimum amount of Distributions (when made in accordance with the applicable organizational documents (e.g., pro rata to all of its partners, members or other owners, if so required)) required to enable the REIT to maintain its REIT Status, (B) cashless exchanges of Equity Interests in the Company for Equity Interests in the REIT and (C) non-cash payments in connection with employee, trustee and director stock option plans or similar incentive arrangements.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, the Company shall not, and shall not permit REIT or General Partner to, make any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly, other than cashless exchanges of Equity Interests in the Company for Equity Interests in the REIT.

116

7.8.    Asset Sales. The Company will not, and will not permit the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Guarantors or its or their respective Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any material asset to a Person that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company other than pursuant to a bona fide arm’s length transaction or, with respect to transactions subject to Section 7.11, as permitted by Section 7.11; provided that the Borrowers, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets subject to any condemnation proceeding (including in lieu thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Real Estate in one transaction or a series of transactions unless no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such transaction (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with the covenants in Section 6.17, Section 7.1, Section 7.3, Section 7.7, and Section 8.1 through 8.6 after giving effect thereto).
7.9.    Restriction on Prepayment of Indebtedness. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Borrower or any Guarantor to: (a) optionally or voluntarily prepay, redeem, defease, purchase or otherwise retire the principal amount, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness other than the Obligations prior to the maturity date thereof; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the proceeds of a new or increased loan, note or other Indebtedness which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of Section 7.1 and proceeds described in the following clause (y); and (y) the prepayment, redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate which is satisfied solely from the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of the Real Estate securing such Indebtedness; and (b) modify any document evidencing any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) to accelerate the maturity date of such Indebtedness.
7.107.5.    Derivatives Contracts.  None of the Borrowers, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries shall contract, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Derivatives Contracts except for interest rate swap, collar, cap or similar agreements providing interest rate protection and currency swaps and currency options made in the ordinary course of business and forward equity commitments and forward equity sale agreements with customary terms and, to the extent constituting Indebtedness, permitted pursuant to Section 7.1.
7.117.6.    Transactions with Affiliates.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Borrower or any Guarantor or any of its or their respective Subsidiaries to, permit to exist or enter into, any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company), except (i) transactions set forth on Schedule 7.117.6 attached hereto and any amendments to stock option plans, employment agreements and indemnities of officers and directors to the extent that such amendment is not adverse, taken as a whole, to the Lenders or the Company in any material respect, (ii) transactions upon fair and reasonable terms which are substantially no less favorable to such Person than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate (which, in connection with any transaction with a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary, may take into account any enhancement to the value of the equity owned by a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the transaction), (iii) Distributions permitted pursuant to Section 7.77.4, (iv) transactions under this Agreement or the Senior Notes Documents, (v) (a) transactions solely among the REIT, the General Partner, the Company and any of their respective Subsidiaries that are Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries or Guarantors or (b) transactions solely among the Subsidiaries of the Company that are not Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries or owners of direct or indirect interests in an Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, (vi) issuance by the REIT or the Company of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) and receipt by the REIT or the Company of capital contributions, (vii) any transaction with any Person who is not an Affiliate immediately before the 

117

consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction, (viii) payroll, travel, business entertainment and similar advances to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the REIT or any Subsidiary to cover matters that are expected at the time of such advances to be treated as expenses of the REIT or such Subsidiary for accounting purposes and that are made in the ordinary course of business, (x) compensation, insurance, expense reimbursement, severance, employee benefit arrangements and indemnification of, and other employment arrangements with, directors, officers, consultants and employees of the REIT, the Company or any Subsidiary of either thereof, (xi) intercompany loans permitted by Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 and (xii) any transaction or series of related transactions involving consideration not in excess of $5,000,000.

In the event that there shall occur any Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Property included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, then the Company may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have Agent remove such Unencumbered Property from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and by reducing the Outstanding Loans by the amount necessary so that no Event of Default exists under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the Company obtaining knowledge of such Default and (ii) receipt of notice of such Default from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.
9.3.    Termination of Commitments.  If any one or more Events of Default specified in Section 9.1(h), Section 9.1(i) or Section 9.1(j) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Company.

No termination under this Section 9.3 shall relieve the Borrowers or the Guarantors of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
9.4.    Remedies.  In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.1, the 

122

Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Administrative Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If any Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by the Company upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five days after demand bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.12(c). In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Company shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
9.5.    Application of Payments.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by the Company or the Required Lenders, all payments received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to Section 2.21, be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:
(a)    first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent payable under Section 11.5 and amounts pursuant to Section 2.6(db) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such);
(b)    second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements, interest and Letter of Credit fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders payable under Section 11.5) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;
(c)    third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iiic) payable to them;
(d)    fourth, (A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and (B) to cash collateralize that portion of the L/C Obligations comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to 2.21 or Section 3.10, ratably among the Lenders 

123

and the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) payable to them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to subclause (B) above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Issuing Lenders to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, (y) subject to Section 2.21 or Section 3.10, amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (d) shall be used to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the pro rata share of cash collateral shall be distributed to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this Section 9.2;
(e)    fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and
(f)    finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Company or as otherwise required by law.
If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above

(b)    As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or 

124

termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(c)    In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or Issuing Lender other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(ii)    nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.
(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

125

(e)    None of the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent, any Senior Managing Agent or any joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner listed on the cover page of this Agreement shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
(f)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company or any other Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.6, 2.12, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 11.5). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.
(g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Company’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.
10.2.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or 

126

warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Lender or an Issuing Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5Article V or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Lender as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Extensions of Credit, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuing Lender, or any Exchange Rate or Dollar Equivalent. Promptly after receiving a notice of a Default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.5(a), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof.
(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 11.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 11.6(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Company or any other Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

127

10.3.    Posting of Communications.  (a) Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b)    Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and each Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications (as defined below) through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.
(c)    THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SYNDICATION AGENT, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT OR ANY SENIOR MANAGING AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(d)    Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of 

128

the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(e)    Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Borrowers agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(f)    Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
10.4.    The Administrative Agent Individually.  With respect to its Commitment, Loans, Issuing Lender Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Lenders”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders.
10.5.    Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors, and controlling persons (each an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee 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 that are found by final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.6.    Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Lenders.  (a) Each Lender represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed 

129

appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Company and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreementthe First Amendment on the ClosingAmendment Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the ClosingAmendment Effective Date.
10.7.    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(h), Section 9.1(i) or Section 9.1(j) with respect to a Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this 10Article X and Section 11.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.8.    Certain ERISA Matters.  (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of REIT, the Company or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

130

company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, and the conditions for exemptive relief thereunder are and will continue to be satisfied in connection therewith, 
(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement and (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (a) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)    In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of REIT, the Company or any other Loan Party, that:
(i)    none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto),
(ii)    the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21, as amended from time to time) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least $50 million, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E),
(iii)    the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the obligations), 
(iv)    the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Code, or both, with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and 

131

this Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder, and
(v)    no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

The Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility), (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i) or (z) any amendment in accordance with Section 2.14(b)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders,” consent to the assignment or

In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding this Section 11.1, the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for all purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this Section 11.1); provided that any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of the type described in clause (i) of this Section 11.1 shall require the consent of any Defaulting Lender.

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1, this Agreement may be amended to extend the maturity date of outstanding Term Loans, Revolving Dollar Commitments and/or Revolving Multicurrency Commitments pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Company to all the Lenders on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 

133

the respective Term Loans, Revolving Dollar Commitments or Revolving Multicurrency Commitments, as applicable) and on the same terms to each such Lender, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Company and each of the Lenders holding Loans having an extended maturity date.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.
Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Approved Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
11.3.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
11.4.    Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
11.5.    Payment of Expenses and Taxes.  The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Company prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel to the Lenders and Administrative Agent, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional firm of outside counsel to each group of affected Lenders similarly situated taken as a whole), (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent 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, that 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 Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “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 with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any 

137

of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letter of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to any Group Member including with respect to any property at any time owned, leased, or used by any Group Member, or any orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Company or any other Loan Party or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel (limited to one counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole) and other reasonable and documented  out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) to the extent they are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under any Loan Document and (iii) to the extent arising from any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than against any Indemnitee  in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent or arranger or any similar role under this Agreement and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Company or its Affiliates (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).  Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, (i) all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee and (ii) any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet).  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without the Company’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Company’s written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such actions, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an Indemnitee shall have requested confirmation of the Company’s obligation to indemnify such indemnified person in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall be liable for any settlement or other action referred to in the immediately preceding sentence effected without the Company’s consent if (a) such settlement or other action is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Company of such request for confirmation and (b) the Company shall not have provided such confirmation in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement or other action.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened actions in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee 

138

(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such actions and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Company or on the Company’s behalf under this Section to such Indemnitee for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.  All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor.  Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted to the Company at the address set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.  The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
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 Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Company 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 Company 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 this Section.
(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than to an Ineligible Institution or to a Disqualified Institution (except, with respect to a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the Company has consented to such assignment to a Disqualified Institution, it being understood that the list of Disqualified Institutions shall be available to all Lenders and may be provided to Lenders through electronic communication); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any potential assignee is a Disqualified Institution or any liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Institution) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 
(A)    the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Company shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten days after having received notice thereof;
(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 of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)    the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

139

(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 or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of a Term Facility, $500,000) unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under Section  9.1(a), Section 9.1(h), Section 9.1(i) or Section 9.1(j) 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 Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.
For the purposes of this Section 11.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business 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.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 11.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans 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 Borrowers, 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 

140

Register shall be available for inspection by the Company 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 Assumption executed by an 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 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than to an Ineligible Institution or to a Disqualified Institution (except, with respect to Disqualified Institutions, to the extent the Company has consented to such  participation to a Disqualified Institution, it being understood that the list of Disqualified Institutions shall be available to all Lenders and may be provided to Lenders through electronic communication); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether any potential participant is a Disqualified Institution or any liability with respect to any participation sold to a Disqualified Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the 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 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 affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section (subject to the requirements under Section 2.17(d), (e) and (f)).  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 such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose 

141

name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.17(d), (e) and (f) as if it were a Lender.
(d)    Any Lender 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 or other central banking authority, and this Section 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 any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)    Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b).  Each Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state 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.
11.7.    Adjustments; Set‐off.  (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9Article IX, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, 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 9.1(h), (i) or (j), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral 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 Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

142

(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the Continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount 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 Issuing Lender or, in each case, any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower (to the extent of amounts owed by such Borrower to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable), as the case may be; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
11.8.    Counterparts.  
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or via email attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.
11.9.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that 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.
11.10.    Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
11.11.    Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS 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.
11.12.    Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

143

(a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the United States for the Southern District of New York in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Company, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(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; 
(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 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.15 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities.  Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Company and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEAa Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEAAffected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

146

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEAAffected Financial Institution, its parent entity, 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 liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
11.19.    Judgment Currency.  (a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender or Issuing Lender of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). 
(b)    If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. 
(c)    For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 11.19, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars. 
11.20.    No Novation. The amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of, the indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party evidenced by or arising under or in connection with the existing Loan Documents.
