Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Shares (i) Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that, in respect of any Shares delivered to Dealer hereunder, such Shares shall be newly issued (unless mutually agreed otherwise by the parties) and, upon such delivery, duly and validly authorized, issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free of any lien, charge, claim or other encumbrance and not subject to any preemptive or similar rights and shall, upon such issuance, be accepted for listing or quotation on the Exchange. (ii) Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) will hedge its exposure to the Transaction by selling Shares borrowed from third party securities lenders or other Shares pursuant to a registration statement, and that, pursuant to the terms of the Interpretive Letter, the Shares (up to the Initial Number of Shares) delivered, pledged or loaned by Counterparty to Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) in connection with the Transaction may be used by Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) to return to securities lenders without further registration or other restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in the hands of those securities lenders, irrespective of whether such securities loan is effected by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer. Accordingly, subject to Paragraph 7(h) below, Counterparty agrees that the Shares that it delivers, pledges or loans to Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) on or prior to the final Settlement Date will not bear a restrictive legend and that such Shares will be deposited in, and the delivery thereof shall be effected through the facilities of, the Clearance System.

(iv) Unless the provisions set forth below under “Private Placement Procedures” are applicable, Dealer agrees to use any Shares delivered by Counterparty hereunder on any Settlement Date to return to securities lenders to close out open securities loans created by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer in the course of Dealer’s or such affiliate’s hedging activities related to Dealer’s exposure under the Transaction. (v) In connection with bids and purchases of Shares in connection with any Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement of the Transaction, Dealer shall use its good faith efforts to conduct its activities, or cause its affiliates to conduct their activities, in a manner consistent with the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18, as if such provisions were applicable to such purchases and any analogous purchases under any Additional Transaction, taking into account any applicable SEC no action letters, as appropriate.

Consents Amendments and Waivers 12.9.1. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the prior written agreement of the Required Lenders and Borrower, and no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, without the prior consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to Borrower's failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous written consent of Lenders as hereinafter set forth in this Section 12.9. 1. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender as provided in Section 3.2 of this Agreement) shall be required to effectuate any amendment, modification or waiver that would (a) alter the provisions of Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 4.6, 4.7, 5.1, 12, 14.2 or 14.3, the definitions of "Availability Reserve," "Borrowing Base" and the other defined terms used in such definitions, "Pro Rata," "Required Lenders" or any provision of this Agreement obligating Agent to take certain actions at the direction of the Required Lenders, or any provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the Pro Rata treatment or obligations of Lenders; (b) increase or otherwise modify any of the Commitments (other than to reduce proportionately each Lender's Commitment in connection with any overall reduction in the amount of the Commitments); (c) alter or amend the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loans (except as may be expressly authorized by the Loan Documents or as may be necessary, in Agent's judgment, to comply with Applicable Law); (d) waive or agree to defer collection of any fee, termination charge or other charge provided for under any of the Loan Documents (except to the extent that the Required Lenders agree after and during the continuance of any Event of Default to a waiver or deferral of any termination charge provided for in Section 5.2.3 hereof) or the unused line fee in Section 2.2.3 hereof; (e) subordinate the payment of any of the Obligations to any other Debt or the priority of any Liens granted to Agent under any of the Loan Documents to Liens granted to any other Person, except as currently provided in or contemplated by the Loan Documents in connection with Borrower's incurrence of Permitted Purchase Money Debt, and except for Liens granted by an Obligor to financial institutions with respect to amounts on deposit with such financial institutions to cover returned items, processing and analysis charges and other charges in the ordinary course of business that relate to deposit accounts with such financial institutions; (f) alter the time or amount of repayment of any of the Loans or waive any Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of the Loans on the due date thereof (or within any applicable period of grace); (g) forgive any of the Obligations, except any portion of the Obligations held by a Lender who consents in writing to such forgiveness; or (h) release any Obligor from liability for any of the Obligations. In no event shall any amendment to the provisions of Sections 1.3 or 3.1.3 be effective without the prior written consent of Fleet. No Lender shall be authorized to amend or modify any Note held by it, unless such amendment or modification is consented to in writing by all Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit an amendment or modification to any provision of this Agreement that may be effected pursuant to this Section 12.9.1 by agreement of Borrower and the Required Lenders even though such an amendment or modification results in an amendment or modification of the Notes by virtue of the incorporation by reference in each of the Notes of this Agreement. The making of any Loans hereunder by any Lender during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
