(c) The entries made by the Administrative Agent in its accounts shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (d) A Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by a Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Revolving Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(f) If there is a Change of Control, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of that event and if the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Lenders, so requires, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall by no less than 10 daysβ notice to the Borrower, declare all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with accrued interest, and all other amounts accrued under the Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable whereupon all such outstanding amounts will become immediately due and payable. (g) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic communication, including e-mail) of any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of prepayment of borrowings pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein (which may include, without limitation, a Refinancing Indebtedness Event), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Each partial prepayment of any borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a borrowing as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.11. Section 2.10. Fees. (a) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to each Lender entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (absent manifest error in the amount paid). Such fees shall be netted against any advances on the Revolving Loans. Section 2.11. Interest. (a) The Revolving Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate; provided, at the written election of the Borrower (provided that no such written election shall be required to the extent that the Capitalized Interest Amount as of any applicable date of determination is no greater than the Maximum Capitalized Interest Amount), that such interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be capitalized, compounded and added to the unpaid principal amount
Β
23 of the Revolving Loans (such interest the βCapitalized Interestβ) on the Interest Payment Date; provided, further that for each Interest Period longer than three months, such interest shall be capitalized on the date that is three months after the commencement of each Interest Period (the aggregate amount of Capitalized Interest added and not repaid in cash, as of any date of determination, the βCapitalized Interest Amountβ). (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default has occurred and is ongoing, any principal of or interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to in the case of any outstanding principal of any Revolving Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loan as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. (c) Accrued interest on each Revolving Loan (which shall be accrued through the last day of the prior Interest Period) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Revolving Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on written demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) Capitalized Interest shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.11(a) and (iv) at the written election of the Borrower, interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may be payable in cash in accordance with this Section 2.11(c).

The Applicable Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Section 2.12. [Reserved]. Section 2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lenders; (ii) impose on the Lenders any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Revolving Loans made by the Lenders; or (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes other than any (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) of the definition of Excluded Taxes on or with respect to its loans or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lenders or other Recipient of making, continuing or maintaining any Revolving Loan or of maintaining its
Β
24 obligation to make any such Revolving Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lenders or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of the Lenders or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to the Lenders or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lenders or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. (b) A certificate of the Lenders setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lenders as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lenders the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (c) Failure or delay on the part of the Lenders to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenderβs right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of the Lenderβs or intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (d) Notwithstanding the above, the Lenders will not be entitled to demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction set forth in this Section 2.13 at any time if it is not the general practice and policy of the Lenders to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers in similar circumstances under agreements containing provisions permitting such compensation to be claimed at such time. Section 2.14. [Reserved]. Section 2.15. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
Β
25 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or, at the option of the Lenders timely reimburse either of them, as applicable, for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders. (d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written 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 2.15) payable or paid by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lenders shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Status of Lender. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document and shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower 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 2.15(e)(ii)(A) and (ii)(B) below) shall not be required if in such Lenderβs 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 on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower 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), two executed copies of an applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying as to such Foreign Lenderβs non-U.S. status.
Β
26 The Lenders agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered (including any specific documentation required in this Section 2.15(e)) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver promptly to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably request by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 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). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.15(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 Section 2.15(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph 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 2.15(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. Section 2.16. Payments Generally. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, on or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lenders, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Lenders; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Lenders shall distribute any such payment received by either of them for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

Each Person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agentβs duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term βagentβ 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, and that such term is used as a
Β
47 matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be 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, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a βnotice of defaultβ) is given to the Administrative Agent by Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) [reserved] or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Revolving Loan 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 or unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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.
Β
48 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 their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the bad faith, negligence or misconduct of any other agent or any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Any Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Revolving Loans, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, such Lender. In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Revolving Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Revolving Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.13, 2.15 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; (c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by the Administrative Agent to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to it, to pay to the Lenders any amount due to it, in its capacity as a Lender under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).

(a) No failure or delay by the Lenders in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
