Section 2:    OBJECTIVE

The Plan is a global annual incentive program designed to reward Employees whose performance during the fiscal year enabled the Company to achieve favorable business results.  The Plan focuses Employee efforts on the achievement of specific goals in support of the Company's business strategy and provides for an opportunity to receive annual payouts based on individual and corporate performance.    
Section 3:    ELIGIBILITY

3.1Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or Compensation Committee, eligibility to participate in the Plan for each Plan Year shall be automatic for all Employees (who do not participate in any other Company annual incentive plan) hired or rehired by July 1 of the Plan Year ending September 30, or such other date as the Administrator or Compensation Committee shall determine.
3.2To be eligible for consideration for an award, a Participant must be employed by the Company and actively performing his or her job for a minimum of three months (or such other time period as the Compensation Committee or Administrator shall determine) during the Plan Year with continued employment through the date of payment of an award for such Plan Year, except as provided below in the event of death, Disability, Normal Retirement, or with respect to individual incentive award amounts subject to a Participant’s timely deferral election under the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan in the case of the Participant’s termination of employment after the end of a Plan Year but prior to the date of payment of an award for such Plan Year.  
3.3If a Participant dies or terminates employment due to Normal Retirement or Disability during the Plan Year, the Employee may be eligible for a prorated payout for the portion of the year the Participant was employed by the Company subject to and in accordance with Section 6.9.   A Participant not actively at work during a Severance Notice Period will be treated as actively at work for purposes of this Section 3.3 to the extent required by applicable policy or law. 
Section 4:    INCENTIVE AWARDS

4.1Performance Goals. 

Individual incentive awards will be subject to one or more Corporate Goals and/or individual performance goals, the targeted achievement of which may be expressed as a percentage of a Participant’s base salary.  The percentages attributed to the achievement of performance goals will be based upon the global level of the Participant’s job. Such Corporate Goals and individual performance goals, including any applicable targeted achievement levels, will be determined by the Company’s management or by the Compensation Committee. The 

Compensation Committee will determinate any Corporate Goals and individual performance goals for the Company’s executive officers (in this Plan, the term “executive officer” is as defined in the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or New York Stock Exchange).  

4.1(i) Corporate Goals

Corporate Goals may be established for an applicable Plan Year.  Such goals will be established by either the Compensation Committee or the Company’s management, with the Compensation Committee to establish any goals applicable to the Company’s executive officers.  Such Corporate Goals can be revised after the beginning of the Plan Year to reflect changing business priorities. 

4.1(ii)    Individual Goals
    
Individual goals and success criteria for each Plan Year may be established for Participants.  Depending on the Participant’s level in the Company, such goals will be established by either the Compensation Committee, the Company's management, or jointly by the Participant and Company management with the final determination made by Company management.  Such individual goals can be revised after the beginning of the Plan Year to reflect changing business priorities or changes in job or role.

4.2Any awards for Participants who began participating in the Plan after the beginning of the Plan Year (October 1) for a portion of the Plan Year, and who met the eligibility requirements above, will be prorated to reflect the portion of the Plan Year during which the Participant was eligible to participate in the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Administrator or Compensation Committee and to the extent permitted under applicable local policy or law. 

Section 5:    VIP PAYOUT DETERMINATION

Following the Performance Period, the Company’s management, or the Compensation Committee for the Company’s executive officers, in their discretion, as applicable, will determine final individual award payouts based on their determination of actual performance against Corporate Goals and/or individual goals applicable to Participants for the Plan Year. 

Final incentive award payouts are approved by the CEO except those requiring approval of the Compensation Committee.  Awards for the CEO and other executive officers require approval of the Compensation Committee.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator or the Compensation Committee, Participants whose target award percentage is changed during the Plan Year will have their target award percentage prorated for the portion of time spent at each target award percentage to determine their final award payout for the year.    

Section 6:    AWARD ADMINISTRATION

6.1The Plan Year is the fiscal year beginning October 1 and ending September 30.
6.2Final incentive award payouts are approved by the CEO, except that awards for the CEO and other executive officers require approval of the Compensation Committee.
6.3Awards are paid as soon as practical after the end of the Plan Year, but no later than December 15 of the subsequent Plan Year.

6.4Award payments shall be made to Participants in cash, provided that the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, with respect to any Performance Period and with respect to one or more Participants, provide that all or any portion awards to such Participants shall be paid in Company common stock or awards in respect of Company common stock pursuant to an equity plan maintained by the Company to the extent permitted by the terms of such plan. 
6.5Participants generally must be actively working at the close of the Plan Year with continued employment through the date of payment of an award for such Plan Year to be eligible for the payment of an award; provided, however, that for Participants who have made a timely deferral election under the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to incentive award amounts that may be awarded under this Plan, in the event such a Participant’s employment terminates after the end of a Plan Year but prior to the actual payment date of such award, the Participant will receive payment of the deferred portion of the award for the Plan Year, which shall be subject to terms of the Participant’s deferral election. In addition, unless determined otherwise by the Administrator or Compensation Committee, Participants on leaves of absence for 180 days or less in a Plan Year are eligible for a full incentive award for the Plan Year without regard to the period they were on leave; Participants on leaves of absence for more than 180 days in a Plan Year are eligible to receive an award prorated (unless otherwise required by applicable local policy or law) to include 180 days plus the number of days they were on paid status and actively performing their jobs.  Payouts to Participants on leaves of absence at the time of payout are at the discretion of the Administrator (or the Compensation Committee with respect to the Company’s executive officers).
6.6Participation in the Plan does not guarantee the Participant the payment of an award. All awards under the Plan are discretionary and subject to approval by the CEO or the Compensation Committee, as applicable.  
6.7Extraordinary occurrences may be considered by the Compensation Committee, Company management, or the CEO, as applicable, when assessing performance results, and adjustments may be made to the performance measures at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, Company management, or the CEO, as applicable, to ensure that the objectives of the Plan are served.   
6.8Awards payable under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred, or subjected to liens except as otherwise provided by law. 
6.9Except as provided in Section 6.10, if a Participant’s employment is terminated before the date of payment of an award for the Plan Year for reasons other than Disability, death, or Normal Retirement, the Participant shall not be paid any award for the Plan Year in which employment terminates.  Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or Compensation Committee, if such employment is terminated as a result of Disability or death, a prorated or other payout for the portion of the Plan Year the Participant was employed by the Company may, at the sole discretion of the Administrator (or the Compensation Committee, with respect to the Company’s executive officers), be made to the Participant or, in the event of death, to the Participant’s estate. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or Compensation Committee, if a Participant’s employment is terminated as a result of a Normal Retirement, the Participant may, at the sole discretion of the Administrator (or the Compensation Committee, with respect to the Company’s executive officers) be paid a pro-rata award for the Plan Year, subject to the provisions of this Plan.  In addition, if the employment of a Participant who has made a timely deferral election under the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan with respect to incentive award amounts that may be earned under this Plan terminates after the end of a Plan Year but prior to the actual payment date of such award, the Participant will receive payment of 

the deferred portion of the award for the Plan Year, which shall be subject to terms of the Participant’s deferral election.
6.10Upon termination of a Participant’s employment under a severance benefits plan or agreement, a prorated or other payment may be made pursuant to such plan or agreement at the sole discretion of the Administrator (or the Compensation Committee, with respect to the Company’s executive officers).  Any payment under this Section 6.10 shall be conditioned upon the Participant’s prior execution and non-revocation of a severance agreement and release in the form provided by the Company within the time specified by such severance agreement and release form. 
6.11Participation in the Plan does not confer any right to employment nor create an employment contract or agreement of any sort with any Participant. 
Section 7:    FUNDING; NO CREATION OF TRUST

Amounts paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and each Participant shall be no more than an unsecured general creditor of the Company with no special or prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to create a trust of any kind for the benefit of any Participant, or create any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant with respect to any assets of the Company.

Section 8:    GENERAL

8.1Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, any award granted, and/or amount payable or paid hereunder shall be subject to potential cancellation, rescission, recoupment, payback, or other action in accordance with the terms of the Company's Clawback Policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the "Policy"), to the extent the Policy applies to such award or amount.  By accepting an award or the payment of any amount under the Plan, each Participant agrees and consents to the Company's application, implementation, and enforcement of (i) the Policy and any future amendment of the Policy or similar policies that may apply to the Participant and (ii) any provision of applicable law relating to cancellation, rescission, payback, or recoupment of compensation, and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are permitted under the Policy, any similar policy (as applicable to any Participant), or applicable law without further consent or action being required by such Participant.  To the extent that the terms of this Plan and the Policy conflict, then the terms of such Policy shall prevail.
8.2The Administrator, in consultation with the Senior Vice President, Total Rewards, has the sole responsibility for interpreting and administering the Plan as necessary.  The decisions of the Administrator regarding the interpretation and administration of the Plan are final and binding on all parties. The Administrator may delegate decisions related to plan administration to the Senior Vice President, Total Rewards.  
8.3All awards to be paid under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable withholding taxes, including federal and state income and employment taxes.  The Participant’s employer shall withhold such taxes in accordance with applicable tax law. 
8.4The Plan may be amended or terminated at any time for any reason by the Compensation Committee. In particular and without limitation, the Compensation Committee may at any time amend or add to the provisions of the Plan and the terms of participation in the Plan as it considers necessary or desirable to take account of or to comply with relevant laws or regulations outside the United States or for any other reason. 

8.5The effective date of the Plan as amended and restated is July 18, 2022.  
8.6The laws of the State of California shall control all matters relating to the Plan.Document

Section 1.04Pro Forma Calculations; Financial Ratio Calculations.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Financial Ratios shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.04; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 1.04, when calculating the Financial Ratios, as applicable, for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with any covenant pursuant to Section 7.11 (Financial Covenants), the events described in this Section 1.04 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.
(b)For purposes of calculating the Financial Ratios, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and in connection with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Adjusted Net Operating Income, 
41

Consolidated EBITDA, Unencumbered Asset Value or Total Asset Value and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (whether or not occurring concurrently with the event for which the calculation is made). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary of Parent or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Parent or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.04, then the Financial Ratios shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.04.
(c)In the event that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, prepayment, retirement, exchange or extinguishment or Discharge) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any of the Financial Ratios (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Test Period and/or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Financial Ratios shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment or Discharge of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on (A) the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Total Debt to Total Asset Value Ratio, the Senior Secured Debt to Total Asset Value Ratio and the Total Relevant Debt to Unencumbered Asset Value Ratio and (B) the first day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness); provided that, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable Test Period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such Test Period and to give pro forma effect to such repayment. Interest on a Capitalized Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.
(d)When used in reference to the calculation of Financial Ratios for purposes of determining actual compliance with Section 7.11 (and not Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis), references to the date of determination shall mean the last day of the relevant fiscal quarter then being tested.  When used in reference to the calculation of Financial Ratios for purposes of determining Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis (other than for purposes of actual compliance with Section 7.11), references to the date of determination shall mean the calculation of Financial Ratios as of the last day of the most recent Test Period on a Pro Forma Basis.  For purposes of determining Pro Forma Compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with covenants set forth in Section 7.11 prior to the date on which such covenants would otherwise apply, the covenants set forth in Section 7.11 shall be deemed to be applicable for purposes of such test.
Section 1.05Rounding. 
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 
Section 1.06Times of Day.

(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
43

(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period with respect to any Revolving Commitments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Revolving Borrowing, (i) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving 
44

Commitment, (ii) the Revolving Class Exposure of any Revolving Lender in respect of any Class shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Class, (iii) the Revolving Class Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments of such Class, (iv) the aggregate Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (v) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments.  Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow Revolving Loans, prepay under Section 2.05(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Revolving Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, or a combination thereof, as further provided herein. 
Section 1.02Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
(a)Notice of Borrowing.  Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) (x) with respect to SOFR Loans, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to and (y) with respect to Base Rate Loans, on the requested date of any Borrowing, conversion or continuation. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(d), each Borrowing and conversion or continuation of Revolving Loans and each conversion of continuation of Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of (i) with respect to Revolving Loans that are to be made or Loans that are to be converted into or continued as SOFR Loans, $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or (ii) with respect to Revolving Loans that are to be made or Loans that are to be converted into or continued as Base Rate Loans, $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) the applicable Facility and whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Loans, as the case may be, under such Facility, (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day or a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable), (C) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or continued, or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (E) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable SOFR Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, the Loan Notice will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be converted to a SOFR Loan. 
(b)Advances.  Following receipt of a Loan Notice for a Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under such Facility of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or as described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is an initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Borrowing is given by 
45

the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above. 
(c)SOFR Loans.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, upon written notice from the Required Lenders, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(d)Notice of Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
(e)Interest Periods.  After giving effect to (i) all Term Borrowings, (ii) all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, (iii) all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, (iv) all Revolving Borrowings, (v) all conversions of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and (vi) all continuations of Revolving Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term Facilities and the Revolving Loans. 
Section 1.03Letters of Credit. 
(a)The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower (which may be in support of obligations of Parent or in support of obligations of a Subsidiary of Parent), and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit in each case issued for the account of the Borrower (which may be in support of obligations of Parent or in support of obligations of a Subsidiary of Parent) and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments, (B) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (C) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (D) the Revolving Class Exposure of any Revolving Lender in respect of any Class shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Class, and (E) the Revolving Class Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments of such Class.  Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
(ii)The L/C Issuers shall not issue any Letter of Credit if: 
(A)the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance, unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date; provided, however, that any standby Letter of Credit may be automatically extendible (so long as such L/C Issuer shall have the right to prevent such extension at least once in each 12 month period) for periods of up to one (1) year 
46

(but never beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 2.03(a)(ii)); or 
(B)the expiry date of such Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, except that a Letter of Credit may expire up to one (1) year beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date so long as the Borrower Cash Collateralizes (as provided in Section 2.14) the L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.03 in respect of a Letter of Credit with an expiration date after the Maturity Date of a Revolving Facility shall survive such Maturity Date and shall remain in effect until such Letter of Credit is no longer outstanding. 
(iii)No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 
(B)the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(C)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000; 
(D)such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; 
(E)any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless (x) such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender has been eliminated pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv) or (y) such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either such Letter of Credit or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or
(F)the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
(iv)No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. 
47

(v)Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers. 
(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. 
(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by fax transmission, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time (or such later time as such L/C Issuer may agree in its sole discretion) at least three (3) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof (which shall comply with Section 2.03(a)(ii) hereof); (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. 
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (which may be in support of obligations of Parent or in support of obligations of a Subsidiary of Parent) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right, 
48

or amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to the foregoing.
(iii)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
(i)Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent not later than the L/C Reimbursement Deadline.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by the L/C Reimbursement Deadline, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender of date of payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit (each such date an “Honor Date”), the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the day of the L/C Reimbursement Deadline, in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.  “L/C Reimbursement Deadline” means, with respect to any Honor Date, (i) the second Business Day after the Honor Date, if the Borrower shall have received notice of the payment by such L/C Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit prior to 10:00 a.m. New York, New York time on the Honor Date, (ii) or if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m. New York, New York time on the Honor Date or if the Honor Date is not a Business Day, then the third Business Day after the date that the Borrower receives such notice. 
(ii)Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available for the account of such L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan, as applicable, to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such L/C Issuer. 
(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuers an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest), and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section. 
(iv)Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount 
49

drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer. 
(v)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the reduction or termination of the Commitments; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
(vi)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be, as of the date of such Revolving Borrowing or L/C Borrowing. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
(d)Repayment of Participations. 
(i)At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
(ii)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer and distributed to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
(e)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing and each Revolving Loan made pursuant to Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and 
50

shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
(iii)any draft, demand, endorsement, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
(iv)waiver by the applicable L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such L/C Issuer which does not in fact prejudice the Borrower; 
(v)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; 
(vi) any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the ICC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; 
(vii)any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(viii)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its Affiliates unless such notice is given as provided in the previous sentence.
(f)Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted 
51

in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Loan Document on the part of such Person; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against such beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, punitive, consequential or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that were caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Loan Document on the part of any L/C Issuer (in each case, as finally determined in an non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring, endorsing or assigning or purporting to transfer, endorse or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. An L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary thereof via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. 
(g)Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and the applicable L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the Banking Commission of the ICC, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade—International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. 
(h)Letter of Credit Fees.  For each Letter of Credit and each Class of Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.15, with its Applicable Revolving Percentage for such Class a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate for Adjusted Term SOFR Revolving Loans with respect to the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (and allocable to such Class of Revolving Commitments).  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (A) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (B) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the Letter of Credit Fee shall be applicable to and paid upon each of the Existing Letters of Credit.
52

(i)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to 0.125 % per annum times the face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears and (ii) with respect to any amendment of a Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum times the amount of such increase, payable quarterly in arrears, in each case, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after such issuance or amendment, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
(j)Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
(k)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder, is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 
(l)Addition of an L/C Issuer.  A Revolving Lender (or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer.
(m)Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments.  If the Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) with the consent of the L/C Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other Classes of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Classes up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.14.  Commencing with the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the non-terminating Classes and the applicable L/C Issuer.  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the commitment of any L/C Issuer to act in its capacity as such cannot be extended beyond the Maturity Date for the Revolving Facility (as such Maturity Date is in effect at the Closing Date) or increase without its prior written consent.
(n)Existing Letters of Credit.  As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder.
Section 1.04Swingline Loans. 
(a)The Swingline.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan”). Each Swingline Loan may be made, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to the Borrower, in Dollars, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in respect of any Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Swingline Sublimit, notwithstanding the 
53

fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment;  provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments at such time and (B) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving Lender at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan and (iii) the Swingline Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, prepay under Section 2.05(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.08(a)(iii). Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Loan.  
(b)Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time (or such later time as the Swingline Lender may agree in its sole discretion) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000 and if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of $1,000,000, or, if less, the unused portion of the Swingline Sublimit and (ii) the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swingline Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of Revolving Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Commitments) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the second sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrower. 
(c)Refinancing of Swingline Loans.
(i)The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facilities and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender. 
54

(ii)If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
(iii)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be, as of the date of such Revolving Borrowing or funded participation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
(iv)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
(d)Repayment of Participations. 
(i)At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender. 
(ii)If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal of or interest on any Swingline Loan and paid to the Revolving Lenders is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
55

(e)Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender. 
(f)Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender. 
Section 1.05Prepayments. 
(a)Optional. 
(i)The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans or Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) (1) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to any date of prepayment of SOFR Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (B) any prepayment of any Loan shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the applicable Facility and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if SOFR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that any such notice may be made conditional on the occurrence of a financing, sale, issuance or incurrence of indebtedness or other transaction, in which case, subject to Section 3.05, the obligation of the Borrower to make such prepayment shall be conditional on the occurrence of such event (and no prepayment shall be required if such event does not occur). Any prepayment of principal (other than a prepayment of Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities. 
(ii)The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of such prepayment and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(b)Mandatory.  If at any time for any reason the aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.  Any such prepayment shall be applied first, to the principal amount of Revolving Loans being maintained as Base Rate Loans and second, to the principal amount of Revolving Loans being maintained as SOFR Loans and, subject to Section 2.15, shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Revolving 
56

Percentages.  Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be accompanied by any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05.
Section 1.06Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
(a)Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate any Revolving Facility, or from time to time permanently reduce any Revolving Facility; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time three (3) Business Days (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce such Revolving Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments, (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (C) the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans would exceed the Swingline Sublimit, or (D) the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans at such time would exceed the Revolving Commitments as then in effect. Any such notice may be made conditional on the occurrence of a financing, sale, issuance of Indebtedness or other transaction.
(b)Mandatory. 
(i)The aggregate amount of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon the making of the Additional Lenders’ Incremental Term Loans with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.01(a). 
(ii)If at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit, or the Revolving Commitments would exceed the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit, or the Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
(c)Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Swingline Sublimit, the Revolving Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Swingline Sublimit, as applicable, of each Revolving Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees in respect of a Revolving Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of such Revolving Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
Section 1.07Repayment of Loans. 
(a)[Reserved]. 
(b)Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Revolving Lenders on the Maturity Date for each Revolving Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans of the applicable Class outstanding on such date.

(d)Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay any Additional Term Loans or Extended Term Loans in the amounts and on the dates specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment.
57

Section 1.08Interest and Default Rate. 
(a)Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each SOFR Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for the applicable Class of Loans; (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the applicable Class of Loans; and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans under the Closing Date Revolving Facility.
(b)Default Rate. 
(i)If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
(ii)If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after any applicable grace periods have expired), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the written request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
(iii)While any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) exists, outstanding Obligations (including Letter of Credit Fees) shall accrue interest at a fluctuating rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
(iv)Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
(c)Interest Payments.  Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d)Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower will have the right to mutually make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR. 
Section 1.09Fees. 
In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03: 
(a)Facility Fee. Except as otherwise specified in any Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender under each Revolving Facility in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, facility fees (the “Facility Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of such Revolving Facility, regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. The Facility Fee for each Revolving Facility shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period for such Revolving Facility, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each 
58

March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date (or applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date or Extension date), and on the last day of the Availability Period for such Revolving Facility. Each Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
(b)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay Letter of Credit fees as set forth in Sections 2.03(h) and (i). 
(c)Other Fees. 
(i)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. 
(ii)The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders and/or their Affiliates such additional fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  
Section 1.010Computation of Interest and Fees. 
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Adjusted Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
Section 1.011Evidence of Debt. 
(a)Maintenance of Accounts.  The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
(b)Maintenance of Records.  In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
59

Section 1.012Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
(a)General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. All payments of principal of and interest on any Loan, fees, Unreimbursed Amounts and other payments to be made hereunder shall be payable in Dollars. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. New York, New York time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. New York, New York time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, and as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
(b)(i)   Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
(i)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or L/C Issuers, as the case may be, receiving any such payment severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds 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 NYFRB Rate and a rate 
60

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
(d)Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
(e)Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
(f)Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing (other than Swingline Borrowings) shall be made from the Appropriate Lenders, each payment of fees under Sections 2.03(h) and (i) and Sections 2.09(a) and (b) shall be made for account of the Appropriate Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of any Class, in each case pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of the applicable Class; (ii) each Borrowing (other than Swingline Borrowings) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Revolving Loans and Term Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower (other than Swingline Borrowings) shall be made for account of the Appropriate Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans (other than Swingline Borrowings) by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Appropriate Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Appropriate Lenders. 
Section 1.013Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 
(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time, then, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders; provided that: 
61

(1)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
(2)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and for the avoidance of doubt, as this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
(b)Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. 
(c)The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
Section 1.014Cash Collateral. 
(a)Certain Credit Support Events.  If (i) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, except to the extent Cash Collateral has already been provided pursuant to clause (iv) below, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05 or 8.02(c) or the proviso to Section 8.02, (iii) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender or (iv) a Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B) with an expiration date after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (ii) above), prior to the date specified in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B) (in the case of clause (iv) above) or within one (1) Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iii) above, after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender). The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations that may reasonably be expected to result in Cash Collateral being less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 
(b)Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent.  At the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall enter into account control agreements in respect of such deposit accounts for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders (which account control agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).  The Borrower 
62

shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral. 
(c)Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.05(a), 2.15 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which such Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. 
(d)Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination or reduction of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the existence of excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by on or behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 
Section 1.015Defaulting Lenders. 
(a)Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 
(i)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01. 
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the applicable L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, if requested by the Borrower, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise may be required under the Loan Documents in connection with any Lien conferred thereunder or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if 
63

(1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(v). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
(iii)Certain Fees. 
(A)Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 
(B)Letter of Credit Fees.  Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.14. 
(C)Defaulting Lender Fees. With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 
(iv)Reallocation of Applicable Revolving Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (B) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
64

(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (A) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (B) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14. 
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender (provided that the Borrower’s agreement shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such agreement), 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Revolving Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
Section 1.016Incremental Credit Extensions. 
(a)At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.16, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more new commitments for Term Loans (an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” and the Loans made pursuant thereto, “Incremental Term Loans”) which may be in the same Class as any Class of outstanding Term Loans (an “Increase Term Loan Commitment”, and the Loans made pursuant thereto, “Increase Term Loans”) or one or more additional tranches of term loans (an “Additional Term Loan Commitment”, and the Loans made pursuant thereto, “Additional Term Loans”) and/or one or more increases in any existing Class of Revolving Commitments (an “Increase Revolving Commitment”) and/or the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (an “Additional Revolving Commitment” and, together with any Increase Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”; together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”).  Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Commitments hereunder shall not, at any time, exceed $3,500,000,000.  Each Incremental Facility shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 in case of Incremental Term Loans or $25,000,000 in case of Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability hereunder as set forth above.
(b)Any Increase Term Loans shall have terms identical to the terms of the existing Term Loans of the relevant Class hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Increase Term Loans as agreed by such Lenders and the Borrower, and the conditions to initial funding applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall be as provided in this Section 2.16.  Any Increase Revolving Commitments shall have terms identical to the terms of the existing Revolving Commitments of the relevant Class hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees may be paid to Lenders providing such Increase Revolving Commitments as agreed by such Lenders and the Borrower, and the conditions to initial incurrence applicable to such Increase Revolving Commitments and to the initial borrowing thereunder shall be as provided in this Section 2.16.  Interest Periods applicable to Increase Term Loans or Revolving Loans advanced pursuant to Incremental Revolving Commitments may, at the election of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, be made with Interest Period(s) identical to the Interest Period(s) applicable to existing Term Loans of the relevant 
65

Class or existing Revolving Loans of the applicable Class (and allocated to such Interest Period(s) on a proportional basis).
(c)Any Additional Term Loans (i) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated, unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders holding such Additional Term Loans, substantially the same as (but in no event any more favorably than) the Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the incurrence of such Additional Term Loan and (ii) other than amortization, pricing or maturity date, shall have the same terms as the Term Loans; provided that (A) applicable interest rate margins, arrangement fees, upfront or other fees, original issue discount and amortization (subject to the remaining terms of this proviso) with respect to any Additional Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders, (B) any Additional Term Loan shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date applicable to any Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the incurrence of such Additional Term Loan and (C) any Additional Term Loan shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the incurrence of such Additional Term Loan; provided, further, that Additional Term Loans may contain (x) additional or more restrictive covenants that are applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date of any Term Loans outstanding or Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such additional facility and (y) other terms that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)Any Additional Revolving Commitment shall have the same terms as the existing Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) applicable interest rate margins, commitment fee, arrangement fees, upfront and other fees with respect to any Additional Revolving Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Additional Lenders, and (ii) the maturity date of such Additional Revolving Commitments shall be no earlier than the latest Maturity Date applicable to any Class of Revolving Commitments prior to giving effect to such Additional Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that such Additional Revolving Commitments (i) may contain (x) additional or more restrictive covenants that are applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date of any Term Loans outstanding or Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such additional facility, (y) provisions allowing any Revolving Commitments that have a final maturity date prior to the final maturity date and termination of such Additional Revolving Commitments to be repaid and terminated prior to such Additional Revolving Commitments (z) other terms that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments.  Any Incremental Facility shall be effected by an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, the applicable Additional Lenders, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, the L/C Issuers and Swingline Lender.  Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and, to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would be required under Section 10.06(b), the Administrative Agent (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment.  For the avoidance of doubt, no L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender is required to act as such for any Additional Revolving Commitments unless they so consent.  No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders other than the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments, unless it so agrees.  An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16 and shall set forth the terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments.  The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of the following conditions: (i) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with the applicable Incremental Facilities, (ii) such Incremental Facility Amendment shall have been duly 
66

executed and delivered by Borrower, each applicable Additional Lender, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, the L/C Issuers and Swingline Lender, (iii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11 as of the last day of the most recent Test Period on a Pro Forma Basis (including after giving effect to such Incremental Facilities (with any Incremental Revolving Commitments given effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the extent of the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitments drawn on the Incremental Facility Closing Date) and any related acquisitions or investments as if such Incremental Facilities and related acquisitions or investments had been made on the first day of the most recent Test Period) and (iv) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any tranche of Incremental Term Loans is used to finance an acquisition not prohibited by this Agreement, which acquisition shall not be conditioned upon the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing or in connection with which any fee or expense would be payable by the Borrower or its subsidiaries to the seller or target in the event financing to consummate the acquisition is not obtained as contemplated by the definitive acquisition agreement, to the extent the Borrower so elects and notifies the Administrative Agent of such election (a “Limited Conditionality Election” and an acquisition with respect to which a Limited Conditionality Election is made, a “Limited Conditionality Acquisition”), (A) the condition set forth in Section 4.02(b) shall be tested at the time of the execution of the acquisition agreement related to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition, (B) the condition set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall be limited to (x) those representations set forth in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03(a) and (b), 5.04, 5.11, 5.16 and 5.18 and (y) the representations of the seller or the target company (as applicable) included in the acquisition agreement related to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition that are material to the interests of the Lenders and/or Additional Lenders (in their capacities as such), and only to the extent that the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a failure of such representations to be accurate and (C) the condition referenced in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence shall be tested at the time of the execution of the acquisition agreement related to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition; provided that if the Borrower has made a Limited Conditionality Election for any Limited Conditionality Acquisition, in connection with any other incurrence of Indebtedness after the date the definitive acquisition agreement relating to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition was entered into and prior to the earlier of the consummation of such Limited Conditionality Acquisition or the termination of such definitive agreement prior to the incurrence (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining actual compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11), the Senior Secured Debt to Total Asset Value Ratio, the Total Debt to Total Asset Value Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall each be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, both (i) on the basis set forth in this clause (C) and (ii) without giving effect to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition or the incurrence of any such Indebtedness or Liens or the other transactions in connection therewith.  The proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans may be used only for general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, Permitted Acquisitions, Limited Conditionality Acquisitions, other acquisitions not prohibited by this Agreement, prepayments, redemptions, purchases, defeasances or other satisfactions of Indebtedness, and dividends, distributions or repurchases permitted pursuant to Section 7.04).
(f)Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16, (x) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to the relevant Incremental Facility Closing Date will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender providing a portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Lender”), and each such Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the related Revolving Commitments) such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Incremental Revolving Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (y) in the case of the provision of any Increase Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Loans of the applicable Class held by Revolving Lenders immediately prior to the relevant Incremental Facility Closing Date with proceeds of such Increase Revolving Commitments (which may be effected through assignments of funded Revolving Loans of such Class from Revolving Lenders 
67

immediately prior to such increase to the relevant Additional Lenders), as directed by the Administrative Agent such that after giving effect to such prepayment or assignments the percentage of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans of such Class held by each Revolving Lender holding Revolving Commitments of such Class (including Additional Lenders holding Increase Revolving Commitments of such Class) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class of all Revolving Lenders holding Revolving Commitments of such Class (including Additional Lenders with Increase Revolving Commitments of such Class) represented by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Class (including Increase Revolving Commitments of such Class).  In addition, in connection with the incurrence of any Increase Term Loans, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to make such adjustments necessary to ensure that such Increase Term Loans are included ratably in each applicable Term Borrowing and each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class of Term Loans is adjusted to reflect the increased size of such Class.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentences, and such transactions shall not be required to be effected in accordance with Section 10.06.  For the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans assigned pursuant to this Section 2.16(f) shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Incremental Revolving Lenders, be deemed to be Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in respect of the Incremental Revolving Commitments acquired by such Incremental Revolving Lenders on the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date, and the terms of such Revolving Loans and participation interests (including without limitation the interest rate and maturity applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.  The Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Swingline Sublimit may be increased as part of any Incremental Revolving Commitments in an amount not to exceed the amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, subject to consent of the L/C Issuers or Swingline Lender, as applicable.
(g)Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility pursuant to this Section 2.16, any Additional Lender participating in such Incremental Facility that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, and (i) the applicable Incremental Commitments shall be deemed to be Commitments hereunder, (ii) any Loans made pursuant to the Additional Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans of additional Class hereunder, (iii) any Loans made pursuant to Increase Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans of the relevant Class hereunder, (iv) any Increase Term Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term Loans of the relevant Class hereunder and (v) any Additional Term Loans shall be deemed to be Term Loans of an additional Class hereunder. 
(h)The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty.  All obligations in respect of such Loans and Commitments shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payable on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i)An Incremental Facility Amendment may, subject to Section 2.16(b), (c) and (d), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.06(a) to permit reductions of Classes of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) with a Maturity Date prior to the Maturity Date applicable to a Class of Additional Revolving Commitments without a concurrent reduction of such Class of Additional Revolving Commitments and (B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Incremental Commitments (and any Loans made in respect thereof)).
(j)This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

Section 1.017Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans of a particular Class or R-1 Revolving Commitments of a particular Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments of such Class, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the Maturity Date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or R-1 Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) of such Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or R-1 Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or R-1 Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule, if any, in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans of such Class) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Class, in each case as so extended, being a separate Class of Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as applicable, from the Class of Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as applicable, from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the R-1 Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to any Extension (an “Extending Revolving Lender”), to the extent extended pursuant to such Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a R-1 Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the Class of R-1 Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) subject to such Extension Offer (immediately prior to giving effect thereto); provided that (x) if, at the time of any Extension, any R-1 Revolving Loans of any Extending Revolving Lender are outstanding under the applicable Class of R-1 Revolving Commitments, such R-1 Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as R-1 Revolving Loans (and related participations) under the Extended Revolving Commitment and R-1 Revolving Loans (and related participations) under the remaining unextended R-1 Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class in the same proportion as such Extending Revolving Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitments bear to its remaining unextended R-1 Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class and (y) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(m) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after the Maturity Date applicable to other R-1 Revolving Commitments, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with R-1 Revolving Commitments in accordance with their Applicable Revolving Percentage of the R-1 Revolving Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.03(m)) and all borrowings under R-1 Revolving Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending R-1 Revolving Commitments and (C) to the extent agreed in such Extension, optional repayments of R-1 Revolving Loans relating to non-extending R-1 Revolving Commitments upon the optional termination of such R-1 Revolving Commitments), (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, if any, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv), and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to any Extension (an “Extending Term Lender”), to the extent extended pursuant to such Extension (“Extended Term Loans”), shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (immediately prior to giving effect thereto), (iii) the Maturity Date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date hereunder immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension, (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, of the applicable Class in respect of which Extending Term Lenders or Extending Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant 
69

Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, of such Class offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Class of such Extending Term Lenders or Extending Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Extending Term Lenders or Extending Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be required to be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (ix) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.
(b)With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that (x) the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and (y) no Class of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $50.0 million (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17.
(c)No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its existing Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments extended pursuant to an Extension Offer.  No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of any L/C Issuer’s obligations to provide Letters of Credit, the consent of such L/C Issuer and (C) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of the Swingline Lender’s obligations to make or hold Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender. All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as applicable, under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty.  All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payable on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
(d)In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Offer to the Administrative Agent (which shall provide a copy of such Extension Offer to each of the Lenders holding Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of the applicable Class) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Lenders are requested to respond (or such shorter period as is agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).  Any such Lender wishing to accept an Extension Offer shall notify Administrative Agent on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Offer of the amount of its Term Loans or R-1 Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class that it has elected to modify to constitute Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments. Any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which shall be in such form as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and shall provide for such procedures (to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17).  Each Extension Amendment shall be 
70

executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments established thereby).  An Extension Amendment may, subject to Section 2.17(a), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.06(a) to permit reductions of Classes of R-1 Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related R-1 Revolving Loans) with a Maturity Date prior to the Maturity Date applicable to a Class of Extended Revolving Commitments without a concurrent reduction of such Class of Extended Revolving Commitments and (B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments).
(e)This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
Section 1.01Taxes. 
(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Parent or the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Withholding Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Withholding Agent, then the Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and  shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Parent or the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) each applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Parent or the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Parent or the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
(c)Tax Indemnifications. 
(i)Parent and the Borrower shall, and each does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (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 Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient (in each case, to the extent not previously indemnified by Parent or the Borrower), and any penalties, interest and 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Parent or the Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
(ii)Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or 
71

such L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (B) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or such L/C Issuer from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). 
(d)Evidence of Payments.  After any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, Parent or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower or Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
(e)Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 
(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
72

(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to article of such tax treaty; 
(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
(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 F-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 Borrower 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 IRS Form 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 IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws 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 Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct 
73

and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
(iii)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
(iv)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(e).
(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) (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, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 3.01(f) 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 Borrower or any other Person.
(g)Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
(h)Lenders.  For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender,” for purposes of this Section 3.01, shall include the Swingline Lender and any L/C Issuer.
Section 1.02Illegality. 
If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to Adjusted Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on such Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans 
74

of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
Section 1.03Inability to Determine Rates. 
(a)If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:  (i) Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders determine that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such lenders of funding such SOFR Loans (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), the Administrative Agent shall give electronic mail or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereof.  If such notice is given (x) any SOFR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to SOFR Loans shall be converted to, or continued as, Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding SOFR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist), no further SOFR Loans shall be made, or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to, SOFR Loans, nor shall the Base Rate be computed by reference to Adjusted Term SOFR.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are Impacted Loans as provided above, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans,  in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans (to the extent the Borrower does not elect to maintain such Impacted Loans as Base Rate Loans) until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to Impacted Loans cease to exist), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.
Section 1.04Increased Costs; Reserves on SOFR Loans. 
(a)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall: 
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or any L/C Issuer; 
(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and 
75

(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer and receipt of the certificate referred to in Section 3.04(c) below, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Subject to Section 3.04(d) below, if any Lender or L/C Issuer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 
(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
(e)Reserves on SOFR Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”) by any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central bank authority or financial regulatory authority (including the Federal Reserve Board of Governors), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such 
76

Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice. 
Section 1.05Compensation for Losses. 
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert into any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c)any assignment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;  
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any lost profit or loss of margin or Applicable Rate). The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each SOFR Loan made by it at Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such SOFR Loan was in fact so funded.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth in detail sufficient to enable the Borrower to verify the computation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
Section 1.06Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 or Section 3.03(b)(3) (with respect to any Impacted Loans), then at the request of the Borrower, such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 judgment of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
(b)Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in 
77

each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
Section 1.07Survival. 
All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all of the Obligations and the Facility Termination Date.

97

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, be applied in the following order: 
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and all other Obligations (other than principal) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. 
ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
Section 1.01Appointment and Authority. 
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Wells Fargo Bank, National Association 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. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, except as set forth in Section 9.06. 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. 
98

Section 1.02Rights as a Lender. 
Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an 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 banking, trust, financial, advisory, underwriting or other business with Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or to provide notice to or, except as required hereby, obtain the consent of the Lenders with respect thereto. 
Section 1.03Exculpatory Provisions. 
No Agent shall 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, no Agent: 
(a)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
(b)shall 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 such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, 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 Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
No Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by such Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary), or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and 10.01 or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Any such action taken or failure to act pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Lenders. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.  
No Agent nor any of its Related Parties has any duty or obligation to any Lender or Participant or any other Person 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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by any Loan Document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
99

Section 1.04Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication, 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 be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented 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 Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objections. 
Section 1.05Delegation 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 Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities 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 non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 1.06Resignation and Replacement of Administrative Agent. 
(a)Notice.  The Administrative Agent may at any time resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation that the Administrative Agent gives, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), with the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective on the effective date of the resignation that the Administrative Agent gives. 
(b)Removal.  If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and 
100

such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing)) (such date, or the effective date of Administrative Agent’s resignation pursuant to the above provisions of Section 9.06(a), the “Resignation Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(c)Effect of Resignation.  With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts owed from time to time to the retiring 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 Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above (provided that in the case of a resignation under clause (a) above, if no such successor is appointed, the resigning Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders and the Borrower, elect to continue to direct payments and notices and process and consent to assignments and perform the administrative functions hereunder until a successor is so approved (and so long as such resigning Administrative Agent is performing such functions, such resigning Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the indemnities and exculpations afforded to it as Administrative Agent hereunder (which shall survive such Administrative Agent’s resignation))). 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 Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and other than amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date and other than the right to the indemnities provided herein, which shall survive such Administrative Agent’s resignation), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
(d)L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender.  Any resignation or replacement by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph (d), also constitute its resignation or replacement, as applicable, as L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender. If any Person resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation, as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c).  If the Administrative Agent is replaced, then its replacement as L/C Issuer shall not be effective unless each Letter of Credit issued by such replaced Administrative Agent in its capacity as L/C Issuer is replaced or terminated and the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of such L/C Issuer.  If any Person resigns or is replaced as Swingline Lender, all Swingline Loans of such Person shall be repaid upon such resignation or replacement.  Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or replaced L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, and (ii) the resigning or replaced L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to issuances of additional Letters of Credit or making of additional Swingline Loans. 
101

Section 1.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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, and to make, acquire or hold the Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information (which may contain MNPI) 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, and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 
Section 1.08No Other Duties, Etc.

Section 1.09Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Enforcement by Administrative Agent. 
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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 L/C Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h), 2.03(i), 2.09, and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; 
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(c)to receive payments from any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to receive payment directly of 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 Sections 2.09 and 10.04. 
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

(c) The Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Co-Documentation Agent hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.
Section 1.011Erroneous Payments. 
(a)Each Lender, each L/C Issuer and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or L/C Issuer or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or L/C Issuer (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 9.11(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. 
104

(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
(c)In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid 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 from time to time in effect.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 10.06 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.
(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.11, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or Parent, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or Parent for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.
(f)Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the 
105

replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)Nothing in this Section 9.11 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

(h)(i) subordinate any of the Obligations in right of payment or (ii) subordinate any of the Liens securing the Obligations, in each case without the consent of each of the Lenders directly affected thereby;
and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement; and (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such Agent (in its capacity as such) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) no Defaulting Lender 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 Lenders or each affected Lender, or all Lenders or each affected Lender under a Facility, may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (2) the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be reduced or forgiven (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), nor shall the date for any scheduled payment of any such amounts be postponed, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (3) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender, or all Lenders or each affected Lender under a Facility, that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (B) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein.

107

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, Administrative Agent shall release the obligations of a Subsidiary under its Qualified Subsidiary Guarantee upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of written request from the Borrower if such request certifies that (i) at such time or after giving effect to such release, such Subsidiary no longer Guarantees any Indebtedness of Parent or the Borrower other than the Obligations, or (ii) such Subsidiary has ceased to be a Subsidiary of Parent or the Borrower in a transaction not prohibited hereunder (or, after giving effect to such transaction, shall cease to be a Subsidiary of Parent or the Borrower).
If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or each Lender or each affected Lender of a particular Class and that has been approved by the Required Lenders or by Lenders constituting a majority of the outstanding Loans or Commitments of the particular Class, the Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) each of the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13) or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Parent or the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
Section 1.06Successors and Assigns. 
(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, and Parent may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Guaranty (it being understood that, in each case, a merger or consolidation permitted hereunder shall not constitute an assignment or transfer), in each case, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (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 (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
112

(b)Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
(i)Minimum Amounts. 
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 
(B)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the 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 Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Revolving Facility or any Term Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower or Parent, Section 8.01(f), has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
(ii)Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loans and/or the Commitment assigned under a particular Facility, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro-rata basis. 
(iii)Required Consents.  In addition to the consents required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section: 
(A)the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required (x) unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) (with respect to the Borrower or Parent only) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) with respect to assignments under any Term Facility, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, or (3) with respect to assignments under the Revolving Facility, such assignment is to a Revolving Lender and (y) notwithstanding clause (x), so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Sections 8.01(a) or 8.01(f), if after giving effect to such assignment, a Lender and its Affiliates and Approved Funds would hold greater than $100,000,000 in Loans and unused Commitments (in aggregate) under the Facilities; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment under clauses (x) and (y) above unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 
113

(B)the written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment in respect of the applicable Revolving Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender; and 
(C)the written consent of each L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment. 
(iv)Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) a Disqualified Lender (unless the Borrower has given its prior written consent thereto), (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C) Parent, the Borrower or any Affiliate of any of them or (D) a natural Person. 
(vi)Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender 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 assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 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 Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations 
114

in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section to the extent such assignment or transfer is in compliance with such subsection (d) or in the event such assignment or transfer does not comply with such subsection (d) it shall be void and of no effect. 
(c)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register in which it shall record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (as to its interest), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
(d)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, a Disqualified Lender or Parent, the Borrower or any of Parent’s or the Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participations. 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of a Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section  to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation 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 Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), 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 Lender shall 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 
115

Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
(e)Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note or Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
Section 1.07Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 
(a)Treatment of Certain Information.  The Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Co-Documentation Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished to Borrower unless such notice is legally prohibited and excluding audit examinations by Persons with regulatory authority over such Lender, (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that notice of such requirement or order shall be promptly furnished to Borrower unless such notice is legally prohibited, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (or more restrictive than) those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (in each case, other than a Disqualified Lender), any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17 (in each case, other than a Disqualified Lender) or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (vii) on a confidential basis and so long as prior notice of such disclosure is provided to the Borrower to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating Parent or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (viii) with the consent of the Borrower or (ix) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (2) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (3) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses or securities, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
(b)Non-Public Information.  The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Information may include MNPI, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI, and (iii) it will handle such MNPI in accordance with applicable Law, including, without limitation, United States federal and state securities Laws. 
116

Section 1.08Right of Setoff. 
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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 Lender to or for the credit or the account of Parent or the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Parent or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Parent or the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured, secured or unsecured, or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower 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. 
Section 1.09Interest Rate Limitation. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
Section 1.010Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 
(a)Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any certificate delivered thereunder, by fax transmission or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(b)Electronic Execution.  The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, 
117

certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that  without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower and the Parent, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto)  shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.
Section 1.011Survival of Representations and Warranties. 
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
Section 1.012Severability. 
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 
118

Section 1.013Replacement of Lenders. 
(a)If (i) the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, (ii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, (iii) Parent or the Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that any lender is not qualified to make or hold Loans to, or owed by, the Borrower under applicable Gaming Laws (and such Lender is notified by the Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such disqualification) or (iv) if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents (or, in the case of any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver which requires the approval of all Lenders of a particular Class or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01, all such interests, rights and obligations with respect to such Class or such affected Lenders) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 
(i)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b); 
(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) or the Borrower or such assignee, as determined by the Borrower and such assignee (in the case of all other amounts); 
(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 
(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(v)in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
(b)If Parent or the Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that any Lender is not qualified to make or hold Loans to, or owed by, the Borrower under applicable Gaming Laws (and such Lender is notified by the Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such disqualification), the Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 10.13(a) or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, even if a Default or an Event of Default exists (notwithstanding anything contained in such Section 10.13(a) to the contrary).  Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment and shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis with respect to Loans of the same Class as the Loans held by such Lender.  Notice to such Lender shall be given at least ten (10) days before the required date of transfer or prepayment (unless a shorter period is required by any applicable law), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or redemption or prepayment is required pursuant to Gaming Laws.  Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the such Lender shall cooperate with the Borrower in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence (unless a shorter period is required under any applicable law).  Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the Gaming Authority that the Lender is disqualified, commencing on the date the Gaming Authority serves the disqualification notice upon the Borrower, to the extent prohibited by law:  (i) such Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by the 
119

Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans. 
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.13, in the event that a Lender which holds Loans or Commitments under more than one Facility does not agree to a proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver which requires the approval of all Lenders of a particular Class (or where the affected Lenders are all Lenders of a particular Class) in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace in accordance with this Section 10.13 such Non-Consenting Lender with respect to the affected Class and may, but shall not be required to, replace any such Lender with respect to any unaffected Class.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.   At the time of any such assignment, the replacement Lender and the Lender being replaced shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumptions; provided, that if the Lender being replaced does not execute the Assignment and Assumption within three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment and Assumption by the Lender being replaced shall not be required to effect such assignment.  Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption (or the expiration of the three (3) Business Day period referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence) and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 10.13, the replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder, and the Lender being replaced shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and shall be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Non-Consenting Lender, except with respect to Loans, Commitments and Letters of Credit of such Non-Consenting Lender not being acquired by the replacement Lender.

Section 1.022Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. 
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)As used in this Section 10.22, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
    “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
