(a)    The Company may elect from time to time to convert Loans that are LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election in such form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer; provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Company may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election.  Any such notice of conversion to LIBOR Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.  All or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks have determined to not permit such a conversion; (ii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 2.8 shall not have been contravened; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.
(b)    Any Loans that are LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Company giving at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks have 

21    

determined to not permit such a continuation; (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 2.8 would be contravened; or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.
2.8    Minimum Amounts of Tranches.  All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be equal to an amount of at least $5,000,000 and in a whole multiple of $1,000,000.
2.9    Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a)    Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.
(b)    Each Loan that is a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period.
(c)     (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2%; and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any Note or Fee Letter shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%; in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(d)    Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to subsection 2.9(c) shall be payable on demand.
(e)    Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Bank at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount.  In the event of any such reduction affecting any Bank, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Bank on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the 

22    

account of any Bank has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the previous sentence.
2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees. 
(a)    Interest on Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; otherwise, interest and fees (including with respect to Base Rate Loans based on the Federal Funds Rate and the LIBOR Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Banks of each determination of a LIBOR Rate and of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide the Company or the Banks with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of the Company or the Banks hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to the Company or any Bank.
(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (including each determination of the Reserve Requirement) shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence of demonstrable error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 2.9(a) or 2.9(b).
2.11    Inability to Determine Interest Rate.  In the event that prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Banks that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic (confirmed in writing) notice thereof to the Company and the Banks as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (x) all LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) all Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) all Loans that pursuant to subsection 2.7(b) were to have been continued on the first day of such Interest Period as LIBOR Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks, as the case may be, no further LIBOR Loans shall 

23    

be made or continued as such, nor shall the Company have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans.
2.12    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a)    Each borrowing of Loans and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Banks.  Unless otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement, each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by the Company pursuant to subsection 2.4, second, to interest then due and owing in respect of the Loans of the Company, third, to principal then due and owing hereunder and under the Notes of the Company, and, fourth, to any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents.  Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to subsection 2.4 for the account of Banks shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing.  Each payment by the Company on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing.  Payments made pursuant to subsection 2.13 shall be applied in accordance with such section.  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in subsection 2.15) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Banks at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 9.2 or such other office specified by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and shall be made in Dollars not later than 12:00 noon on the date when due.  Any payment received after the foregoing deadlines shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Banks entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension; provided, however, that with respect to any LIBOR Loan to which clause (A) of the definition of “Interest Period” applies, such payment shall be the next preceding Business Day.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Banks pursuant to Section 7 (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Loan Documents shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Section), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Bank on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Banks under the Loan Documents;
SECOND, to the payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;

24    

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Banks in connection with enforcing its rights under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Bank;
FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;
FIFTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FOURTH” above; and
SIXTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Banks shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on such Bank’s proportion of the amount owing under such clause) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH” and “FIFTH” above.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank, prior to the proposed time of any borrowing, that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available on such date in accordance with subsection 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Bank has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Bank and the Company severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Bank, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Company, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Company and such Bank shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of such interest paid by the Company for such period.  If such Bank pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such borrowing.  Any payment by the Company shall be without prejudice to any claim the Company may have against a Bank that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date 

25    

in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks the amount due.  In such event, if the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
2.13    Illegality.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Bank shall forthwith so notify the Administrative Agent and the Company.  Upon such notice, (i) the commitment of such Bank hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (ii) such Bank’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company shall pay to such Bank such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 2.16.
2.14    Requirements of Law.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate);
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Taxes described in any of clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Bank;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Bank or other Recipient, setting forth the 

26    

calculations thereof in reasonable detail, the Company will pay to such Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or any lending office of such Bank or such Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Bank or the Loans made by such Bank to a level below that which such Bank or such Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The Company shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this subsection 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this subsection 2.14 for any increased costs, requirements, Taxes or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
2.15    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection 2.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

27    

(b)    The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    The Company shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection 2.15) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Company shall not be required to indemnify a Recipient for such Taxes or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith of such Recipient, including as a result of a failure by the Administrative Agent to remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority any amounts paid over by the Company pursuant to this subsection 2.15.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(d)    Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of subsection 9.6(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  Each Lender Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection 2.15(d).
(e)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this subsection 2.15, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)    (1)    Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to 

28    

the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in this subsection 2.15(f)(ii)(A), 2.15(f)(ii)(B) or 2.15(f)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.
(i)    So long as the Company is a U.S. Person:
(A)    any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

29    

(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the 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 

30    

their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this subsection 2.15(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including, for the avoidance of doubt, benefits received solely in lieu of receiving a cash refund) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to subsection 2.14(a)(ii) or this subsection 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under subsection 2.14(a)(ii) or this subsection 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection 2.15(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.15(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 2.15(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts in respect of such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection 2.15(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Each party’s obligations under this subsection 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.  For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
2.16    Indemnity.  The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense that such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by the Company in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, (ii) the Company not making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Company has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this 

31    

Agreement, (iii) default by the Company in making any prepayment of LIBOR Loans after the Company has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not such notice is revoked) or (iv) the making of a prepayment or conversion, or the purchase pursuant to subsection 2.17, of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, in each case, any such loss (other than non-receipt of the Applicable Margin or, without duplication, anticipated profits) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (it being understood that any such calculation will be made on notional amounts as the Banks are not required to show that they matched deposits specifically).  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Bank, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company in good faith shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.17    Action of Affected Banks.
(a)    If any Bank provides a notice under subsection 2.13, requests compensation under subsection 2.14, or requires the Company to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to subsection 2.15, then such Bank shall (at the request of the Company) 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 reasonable judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate the illegality that gave rise to the notice under subsection 2.13 or would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank.  The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Bank provides a notice under subsection 2.13, requests compensation under subsection 2.14, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to subsection 2.15 and, in each case, such Bank has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with subsection 2.17(a), or if any Bank is a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank, then the Company may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, subsection 9.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to subsection 2.14 or 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:

33

(c)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Incremental Bank severally agrees to make term loans in Dollars to the Company from time to time during the Commitment Period, or if later, the date that the increase in Commitments is effective, in an aggregate principal amount that shall not exceed the amount of such Incremental Bank’s Commitments.

2.22    Defaulting Banks.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as such Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

34    

(i)    Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Banks.

(A)    FIRST to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
(B)    SECOND 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 Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;
(C)    THIRD if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement;
(D)    FOURTH to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(F)    SIXTH to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in subsection 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

35    

(iii)    (1)    No Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive a commitment fee for any period during which such Bank is a Defaulting Bank.
(A)    With respect to any commitment fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (A) above, the Company shall not be required to pay the amount of any such fee.
(b)    If the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Banks in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.
                                                               SECTION 3    
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Bank as of the Closing Date and as of the date of each Extension of Credit that:
3.1    Financial Condition.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, including the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2015, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Bank, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date and for the period indicated.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries had, at the date of the balance sheet referred to above, any guarantee obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, that is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto and that, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, would have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.2    No Change.  Except as disclosed in any Form 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K or other public filing of the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission filed after date thereof but prior to the Closing Date, during the period from December 31, 2015, to and including the Closing Date, no change, or development or event involving a prospective change, has occurred that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the foregoing 

36    

representation is made solely as of the Closing Date and on the date of any commitment increase pursuant to subsection 2.20.
3.3    Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.  Each of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except to the extent that, in the aggregate, the failure of any such Subsidiaries to be duly organized, validly existing or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has the corporate (or other) power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that, in the aggregate, the failure of any such Subsidiaries to have any such power, authority or legal right would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that, in the aggregate, the failure of the Company and its Subsidiaries to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that, in the aggregate, the failure of the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.4    Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  The Company has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other existing Loan Documents and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize its Obligations on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other existing Loan Documents and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other existing Loan Documents.  No consent or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority or any other Person (except as have been obtained or made) is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other existing Loan Documents.  This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company.  This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
3.5    No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Obligations hereunder and the use of the proceeds hereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.
3.6    No Material Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues that (i) except as listed on Schedule 3.6 or disclosed in any filing of the Company with 

37    

the Securities and Exchange Commission made prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date and on the date of any commitment increase pursuant to subsection 2.20, would have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) would have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Banks hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that the representation in clause (i) of this subsection 3.6 is made solely as of the Closing Date and on the date of any commitment increase pursuant to subsection 2.20.
3.7    Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U or Regulation X if such use would violate, or cause the Loans or the Commitments to be in violation of, the provisions of Regulation U or Regulation X.  If requested by any Bank or the Administrative Agent at any time (and in any case prior to or concurrently with the borrowing of any Loan the proceeds of which will be used to purchase or carry margin stock), the Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Bank a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.
3.8    Investment Company Act.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to registration as an “investment company” or is “controlled” by such a company, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
3.9    Purpose of Loans.  The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Company to provide for the working capital and general corporate requirements of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including to redeem, repay, purchase or refinance the Company’s issued and outstanding 5.930% notes due October 2016 and to pay any fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that no more than $450,000,000 in proceeds from the Loans may be used for purposes other than redeeming, repaying, purchasing or refinancing the Company’s issued and outstanding 5.930% notes due October 2016 and paying any fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
3.10    Disclosure.  On the Closing Date and on the date of any commitment increase pursuant to subsection 2.20, neither this Agreement, the other existing Loan Documents nor (solely with respect to the Closing Date) the Information Materials, taken as a whole with any filing of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission made prior to such date contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not materially misleading.
3.11    Ranking.  The Loans shall remain at least pari passu with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
3.12    AML Laws; Anti-Corruption Laws; Sanctions.  The Company has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to provide for compliance by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable AML Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and, to the knowledge of the Company their respective directors, employees and

                                                                    SECTION 4

(a)    any Lien on any property now owned or hereafter acquired or constructed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or on which property so owned, acquired or constructed is located, which Lien (i) in the case of any property so acquired, existed on such property at the time of acquisition thereby by the Company or such Subsidiary, or (ii) secures or provides for the payment of any part of the purchase or construction price or cost of improvements of such property and was created prior to, contemporaneously with or within 360 days after, such purchase, construction or improvement (and any replacements or refinancings for such Liens); provided that (x) if a firm commitment from a bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not including the Company, a Subsidiary or another Affiliate of the Company) for the financing of the acquisition or construction of property is made prior to, contemporaneously with or within the 360-day period hereinabove referred to, the applicable Lien shall be deemed to be permitted by this subsection 6.2(a) whether or not created or assumed within such period, and (y) each such Lien does not at any time encumber any property other than the property financed by such Indebtedness and the principal amount of Indebtedness secured thereby is not increased other than for additional payments for the purchase, construction or improvement of such property;

of the Majority Banks is likely to, incur any liability in connection with a withdrawal from, or the Insolvency or Reorganization of, a Multiemployer Plan; and in each case in clauses (i) through (v) above, such event or condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, would have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(i)    The rendering against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of one or more final nonappealable judgments, decrees or orders for the payment of money that, either singly or in the aggregate with all other monies in respect of which a final nonappealable judgment, decree or order for payment shall have been rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, aggregates $100,000,000 or more, and the continuance of such judgments, decrees or orders unsatisfied and in effect for any period of 30 consecutive days or, in the case of a foreign judgment, decree or order the enforcement of which is not being sought in the United States, 60 consecutive days without a stay of execution; provided, however, that any such amount shall be calculated after deducting from the sum so payable any amount of such judgment or order that is covered by a valid and binding policy of insurance in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary from an insurer that is rated at least “A” by A.M. Best Company, which policy covers full payment thereof and which insurer has been notified, and has not disputed the claim made for payment, of such amount of such judgment or order;
then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of subsection 7(g) with respect to the Company, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken:  (i) with the consent of the Majority Banks, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Banks, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Company declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Majority Banks, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Banks, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice of default to the Company, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.  Except as expressly provided above in this Section 7, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.
                                                                  SECTION 8    
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
8.1    Appointment.  Each of the Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Each Bank acknowledges that the Company may rely on each action taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent 

50    

and the Banks, and the Company shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions, other than with respect to the immediately preceding sentence and as specified in subsection 8.8.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
8.2    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all 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 and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section 8 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 in connection with the syndication of the facility established hereunder as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents 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 or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
8.3    Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

51    

(ii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7 and subsection 9.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Company or a Bank.
(c)    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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
8.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
(b)    For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.1, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented 

52    

to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank.
8.5    Rights as a Bank.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person 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 business with, the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.
8.6    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks.  Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
8.7    Indemnification by Banks.  The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so to the extent required pursuant to subsection 9.5), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, ratably according to the respective amount of their outstanding Loans or, if no Loans are outstanding, their Commitments as of the date of such termination) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, 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 the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith.  The agreements in this subsection 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
8.8    Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right, with the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a 

53    

bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Banks) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), with the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8 and subsection 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
8.9    No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other 

54    

Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Bank hereunder.
8.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under subsections 2.4 and 9.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank 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 Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under subsections 2.4 and 9.5.
                                                                  SECTION 9    
MISCELLANEOUS
9.1    Amendments and Waivers.  Except as provided in subsection 2.20 with respect to increases in Commitments, none of this Agreement, any Note or any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection.  With the written consent of the Majority Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Company may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the Loan Documents for the purpose of changing any provisions of or adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Notes or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or of the Company hereunder or thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent 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 (i) each Bank shall receive a form of any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification prior to the execution thereof by the Majority Banks or the Administrative Agent and (ii) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, increase or extend the Commitment 

55    

of any Bank, the maturity of any Loan or any installment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon (other than an amendment of subsection 2.9(c) or waiver of the obligation of the Company to pay any increased interest pursuant to subsection 2.9(c), which may be approved by the Majority Banks), or reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any fee payable to any Bank hereunder, or change the amount of any Bank’s Commitment (other than as provided in subsection 2.5), in each case without the consent of the Bank affected thereby, (B) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 9.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Banks, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all the Banks, (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent, or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document without the written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Banks required hereinabove to take such action.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Banks and shall be binding upon the Company, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Banks and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans, 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 anything to the contrary herein, (1) no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank, nor may the maturity of any Loan that such Defaulting Bank has funded or any installment thereof be extended or the rate of interest thereon be reduced, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank and (2) the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document) if the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision.

	Any Bank:
	The address or other information set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire most recently delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Banks pursuant to subsection 2.3, 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 shall not be effective until received.
(b)    So long as Bank of America or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Administrative Agent materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company by e-mail at lendersupport@baml.com.  The Company agrees that (i) the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Company hereunder (collectively, “Company Materials”) and other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other material or matters relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) by posting the Company Materials and Communications on IntraLinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar, or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Banks (each, a “Public Bank”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities.  The Company hereby agrees that (A) all Company Materials that are to be made available to Public Banks shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (B) by marking Company Materials “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Banks to treat such Company Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Company Materials constitute Confidential Materials, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.9); (C) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (D) the Administrative Agent shall treat any Company Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”  The Company acknowledges that (1) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (2) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (3) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates.  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 

58    

or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.
(c)    The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address as set forth above, and each Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform, in each case, shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to the Administrative Agent and such Bank for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Bank the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Bank by email or facsimile.  Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Bank’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Bank) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
9.3    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder 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.
9.4    Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder 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 other Loan Documents.
9.5    Payment of Expenses.  The Company agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable 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, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Bank and the Administrative Agent for all its 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 fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the several Banks and (iii) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and the Administrative Agent and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates 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 (all 

59    

the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Bank with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (A) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach in bad faith of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, (B) legal proceedings commenced or claims against the Administrative Agent or such Bank by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such, (C) legal proceedings commenced or claims against the Administrative Agent or such Bank by any other Bank or by any Transferee or (D) claims settled without the consent of the Company.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding or action to which the indemnity in this subsection 9.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding or action is brought by the Company or any affiliate of the Company, whether or not the party seeking indemnity is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby is consummated.  The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  This Section 9.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent liabilities arising from a non-Tax claim.
9.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Banks.
(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, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Bank, and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to a Purchasing Bank in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.6(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 9.6(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 9.6(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each, a “Purchasing Bank”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    (A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection 9.6(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

60    

(B)    in any case not described in subsection 9.6(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Commitment Transfer Supplement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Commitment Transfer Supplement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)    Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)    No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection 9.6(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund which, in the case of any such Affiliate, has Short-Term Ratings which are no lower than the Short-Term Ratings of the assigning Bank; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person who is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund.
(iv)    The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Commitment Transfer Supplement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the 
case of any assignment.  The Purchasing Bank, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)    No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this subsection 9.6(b)(v).

61    

(vi)    No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person).
(vii)    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the Purchasing Bank of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable Purchasing Bank and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection 9.6(b)(vii), then the Purchasing Bank of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Purchasing Bank thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations, if any, of subsection 2.14, 2.15 and 9.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.  Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 9.6(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 9.6(d).
(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the 

62    

Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks 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.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    (i)    Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), a Competitor, or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under subsection 8.7 with respect to any payments made by such Bank to its Participant(s).
(ii)    Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.  The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under subsection 2.15(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under subsection 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 9.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of subsection 2.17 as if it were an Purchasing Bank under subsection 9.6(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Bank that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of subsection 2.17 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 9.7(b) as though it were a Bank; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to subsection 9.7(a) as though it were a Bank.  Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall 

63    

have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)    Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all of any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.
9.7    Adjustments; Set-off.
(a)    If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this subsection 9.7(a) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Bank), or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection 9.7(a) shall apply).

64    

The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.
(b)    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Bank or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Company may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Bank 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 subsection 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (y) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Bank and its Affiliates under this subsection 9.6(d) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Bank or its Affiliates may have.  Each Bank agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
9.8    Table of Contents and Section Headings.  The table of contents and the section and subsection headings herein are intended for convenience only and shall be ignored in construing this Agreement.
9.9    Confidentiality.  Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent agrees to keep confidential (and to cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives who gain access to Confidential Materials (as defined below), to keep confidential) any information which is or has been obtained pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including subsection 5.4(b)) (collectively, the “Confidential Materials”), except that such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall be permitted to disclose the Confidential Materials (i) to such of the officers, directors, employees, agents, independent auditors and representatives of the Bank or any of its Affiliates as need to know such Confidential Materials in connection with its administration of its Commitment and Loans (provided such persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Materials and the restrictions imposed by this subsection), (ii) to the extent required by law 

65    

(including disclosure to bank examiners and regulatory officials or self-regulatory bodies) or legal process (in which event such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Company of any such requirement), (iii) to the extent such Confidential Materials become publicly available other than as a result of a breach of the provisions of this subsection, (iv) to the extent the Company shall have consented to such disclosure in writing, (v) subject to a written agreement to be bound by the terms of this subsection 9.9 as if it were a Bank party to this Agreement, to (A) a prospective Transferee, (B) a direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction relating to the Company and the Obligations or (C) a credit insurance provider relating to the Company and the Obligations, (vi) to a Governmental Authority in connection with litigation involving this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (vii) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications (such information to consist of deal terms and other information regarding the credit facilities evidenced by this Agreement customarily found in such publications) and (viii) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies or interests under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that in no event shall any such Bank or the Administrative Agent disclose any of the Confidential Materials to any of its Excluded Individuals.
9.10    Patriot Act Notice.  Each Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Company that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company in accordance with the Patriot Act.
9.11    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.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
9.12    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
9.13    Integration.  This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Bank relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

	Re:
	The Western Union Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special New York counsel to The Western Union Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) dated as of April 11, 2016, among the Company as borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto as Banks, Mizuho Bank (USA) and U.S. Bank National Association, as Syndication Agents, Citizens Bank, N.A., Fifth Third Bank, State Bank of India, New York and Barclays Bank PLC, as Documentation Agents, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. This opinion letter is being furnished to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 4.1(f) of the Term Loan Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following:
		
	(i)
	the Term Loan Agreement;

(ii)    each of the Notes, dated April 11, 2016, issued by the Company in favor of Citizens Bank, N.A., BOKF, NA dba Colorado State Bank and Trust, Fifth Third Bank and Taiwan Business Bank, Los Angeles Branch (collectively, the “Notes” and together with the Term Loan Agreement, the “Loan Documents”); and
(iii)    such other certificates, agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary as the basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.
As used in this opinion, “Applicable Laws” shall mean those New York State or United States Federal laws, rules and regulations, as applicable, which (a) in our experience, without having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents and (b) are not the subject of and expressly referred to in a specific opinion herein, provided, that the term “Applicable Laws” shall not include federal or state securities or blue sky laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities

Re: The Western Union Company
April 11, 2016
Page 2

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer laws, including matters of voidable transactions under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act or similar law, antifraud laws, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commodities laws (including, without limitation, the Commodity Exchange Act), or in each case any rules or regulations thereunder.
In our examination referred to above, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.  In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have relied upon, and assumed the truth and accuracy of, factual matters set forth in certificates of the Company, documents and records supplied to us, the representations and warranties of the Company in the Loan Documents, and certificates of public officials.  We have also assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that:
(i)    each party to each of the Loan Documents is and at all relevant times has been duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, and each such party has and at all relevant times had the requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents;
(ii)    the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by each party thereto have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other appropriate actions and proceedings on the part of each such party;
(iii)    the Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each party thereto, enforceable against each such party in accordance with their terms (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the Company to the extent expressly addressed in Paragraph 1 below);
(iv)    none of the execution, delivery or performance of the Loan Documents by any party thereto does or will (a) contravene or violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the Company to the extent expressly addressed in Paragraph 2 below), (b) contravene or violate any charter or other organizational document of such party or (c) conflict or be inconsistent with, or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default in respect of, or result in the creation or imposition of, or the obligation to create or impose, any lien or security interest upon any of the property or assets of such party under or in respect of the terms of any indenture,

mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, contract or instrument to which such party is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound or to which it may otherwise be subject; and
(v)    no consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery or performance of the Loan Documents by any party thereto (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the Company to the extent expressly addressed in Paragraph 3 below).
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the other comments, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that:
1.    Each of the Loan Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
2.    The execution and delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not and will not violate any Applicable Law of the State of New York or of the United States of America (including, without limitation, Regulations U and X of the Federal Reserve Board).
3.    The execution and delivery by the Company of the Loan Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not require any consent, approval, or order of, authorization by, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority under any Applicable Law applicable to the Company. 
4.    The Company is not required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The foregoing opinions are limited to the Applicable Laws of the State of New York and the Applicable Laws of the United States of America (and, to the limited extent specified in Paragraph 4 above, the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).
Our opinions expressed above are subject to the following assumptions and qualifications:
(i)    Our opinion in Paragraph 1 above is subject to (a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including matters of voidable transactions under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act or similar law), moratorium or 

Re: The Western Union Company
April 11, 2016
Page 4

other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), including the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, (c) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and (d) limitations under applicable law or public policy on waivers of rights or defenses.
(ii)    The enforceability of Section 9.5 (Payment of Expenses) of the Term Loan Agreement (and any similar provisions contained elsewhere in the Term Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document) may be limited by (a) laws (including any United States federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to any such laws, rules or regulations and the public policy underlying such laws, rules or regulations, (b) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification or contribution of a party against, liability for its own gross negligence, misconduct or bad faith or the gross negligence, misconduct or bad faith of its agents, and (c) laws requiring collection and enforcement costs (including fees and disbursements of counsel) to be reasonable.

(viii)    We express no opinion with respect to the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents which relates to European Union Directive 2014/59/EU, or any law or regulation of any relevant member of the European Economic Area which implements it. 
In rendering our opinion set forth in Paragraph 1 above, as it pertains to the enforceability of the provisions contained in Section 9.14 (Governing Law) of the Term Loan Agreement (and any similar provisions contained in any of the other Loan Documents) pursuant to which the parties thereto agree that the laws of the State of New York shall govern such documents, we have relied on Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, which states in pertinent part that, “The parties to any contract, agreement or undertaking, contingent or otherwise, in consideration of, or relating to any obligation arising out of a transaction covering in the aggregate not less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars, . . . may agree that the law of this state shall govern their rights and duties in whole or in part, whether or not such contract, agreement or undertaking bears a reasonable relation to this state.”  We express no opinion as to the extent of the connections of the parties to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby to New York State.   We express no opinion as to the validity of the choice of New York law provisions in the Loan Documents except insofar as enforcement of the Loan Documents is sought in the courts of the State of New York.  For the purposes of our opinion set forth in Paragraph 1 above in respect of the Loan Documents, as it pertains to the enforceability of the provisions contained in Section 9.14 of the Term Loan Agreement (and any similar provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents) pursuant to which the parties thereto agree that the laws of the State of New York shall govern such documents, we have assumed that the parties did not enter into any Loan Document with knowledge or deliberate ignorance of the illegality of such document in its place of performance.
In rendering our opinion set forth in Paragraph 1 above, as it pertains to the enforceability of certain provisions contained in Section 9.15 (Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers) of the Term Loan Agreement (and any similar provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents) to the extent they relate to the submission by the parties thereto to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, we do not express any opinion as to whether the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York would have subject matter jurisdiction over an action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or the enforcement of any judgment, if there were not diversity of citizenship between the parties under 28 U.S.C. §1332.  In connection with the provisions of the Loan Documents which relate to forum selection (including any waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note that, under Section 510 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules, a New York state court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial and, under 28 U.S.C. §1404(a), a United States District Court has

discretion to transfer an action from one United States District Court to another, and can exercise such discretion sua sponte.  In rendering our opinion in Paragraph 1 above with respect to Section 9.15 of the Term Loan Agreement (and any similar provisions contained in any of the Loan Document), we express no opinion as to whether an action could be brought in any court other than those specified therein.
With respect to our opinion in Paragraph 4 above, we have relied exclusively as to factual matters on a certificate of the Company dated the date of this letter.
Our opinions are premised upon there not being any facts or circumstances relevant to the opinions set forth herein not disclosed in the statements of governmental officials, representations made in or pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement and certificates of appropriate representatives of the Company upon which we have relied, as noted above. 
This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the execution and delivery of the Term Loan Agreement and is solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person, firm or entity for any purpose or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any purpose without our prior express written consent; provided that assignees that become Banks party to the Term Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(b) thereof may rely on this opinion as if addressed to them on the date hereof, on the condition and understanding that (i) this opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof as described below and (ii) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time such person becomes an assignee, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by such person at such time; and provided further that this opinion letter may be disclosed to bank or other governmental regulatory examiners with authority over a Bank on the condition that such disclosure is for the purpose of confirming the existence of this opinion letter and that such bank or other governmental regulatory examiners are not authorized to rely hereon. 
This opinion is being given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention with respect to the matters discussed herein, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.

FORM OF OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY

April 11, 2016
Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent,
   and each of the Banks listed on Schedule I hereto

I am Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of The Western Union Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of that certain Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) dated as of April 11, 2016, among the Company as borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto as Banks, Mizuho Bank (USA) and U.S. Bank National Association, as Syndication Agents, Citizens Bank, N.A., Fifth Third Bank, State Bank of India, New York and Barclays Bank PLC, as Documentation Agents, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.
I have examined the Term Loan Agreement and such other documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as I have deemed appropriate, and such questions of law as I have considered relevant for purposes of this opinion letter.
I have relied upon, and assumed the truth and accuracy of, all certificates, documents and records supplied to me by the Company and of the representations and warranties of the Company in the Term Loan Agreement with respect to the factual matters set forth therein, and I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such copies and the truth and accuracy of all certificates of public officials.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and based upon the facts and the laws as of the date hereof, I am of the opinion that:
		
	1.
	The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all the requisite power and the authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Term Loan Agreement.  

	
	
	 

		
	2.
	The Term Loan Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

		
	3.
	Neither the execution and delivery of the Term Loan Agreement, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions thereof by the Company, will (i) result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, (ii) violate or result in an event of default under any of the terms of the Company’s charter documents or by-laws, any material indebtedness of the Company, any material contract or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or its property is bound, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court of government instrumentality, to which the Company is subject or by which its property is bound, or (iii) violate any Applicable Laws of the State of New York. 

As used in this opinion, “Applicable Laws” shall mean those New York State laws, rules and regulations, as applicable, which (a) without having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Term Loan Agreement and (b) are not the subject of and expressly referred to in a specific opinion herein, provided, that the term “Applicable Laws” shall not include federal or state securities or blue sky laws, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer laws, including matters of voidable transactions under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act or similar law, antifraud laws, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commodities laws (including, without limitation, the Commodity Exchange Act), or in each case any rules or regulations thereunder.
I am a member of the bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Federal laws of the United States of America. 
This opinion letter is furnished by me solely for the Administrative Agent’s and the Banks’ benefit and the benefit of the Banks’ successors and permitted assignees under the Term Loan Agreement and it may be not be relied upon, quoted from or delivered to any person other than such successors and assignees, the Administrative Agent and each Bank’s legal counsel and the legal counsel of such successors and assignees, without my express written consent, provided that this opinion letter may be disclosed to bank or other governmental regulatory examiners with authority over a Bank on the condition that such disclosure is for the purpose of confirming 

	
	
	 

the existence of this opinion letter and that such bank or other governmental regulatory examiners are not authorized to rely hereon.

This opinion letter is being given as of the date hereof, and I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to my attention with respect to the matters discussed herein, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.
Sincerely,

John R. Dye
