(b) Each Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans of the same Type made on the same day by the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitments.
(c) Term Loans borrowed under this Section 3.01 and paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 3.02.    Making the Term Loans. 
(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given (x) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans, in each case by the Company to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Bank prompt notice thereof in writing (which may be by e-mail).  Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be delivered in writing (which may be by e-mail), in substantially the form of Exhibit A, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans, initial Interest Period for each such Term Loan and (v) whether such notice is conditioned on the occurrence of any event, and if so conditioned, a description of such event (it being understood that the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to assume that the Term Loans contemplated by such Notice of Borrowing are to be made unless the Administrative Agent shall have received a written notice of revocation at any time prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing).  Each Bank shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent will make such same day funds available to the Company at the Company’s account at the Administrative Agent’s address referred to in Section 10.02.
(b) Anything in Section 3.02(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company may not select Eurodollar Rate Loans for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $25,000,000 or if the obligation of the Banks to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 3.07 and (ii) the Eurodollar Rate Loans may not be outstanding as part of more than ten separate Borrowings.
(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company; provided however, that any Notice of Borrowing may be conditioned on the occurrence of any event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing) if such condition is not satisfied.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance Section 3.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Company severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Company, the interest rate applicable at the time to Term Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03.    Notes.  Any Bank may request that the Term Loans made or to be made by it be evidenced by a promissory note of the Company.  In such event, the Company shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a promissory note payable to such Bank (and its registered assigns), in substantially the form of Exhibit B (a “Note”), in an amount equal to the Commitment of such Bank.
SECTION 3.04.    Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the end of the Availability Period and (ii) the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Term Loans made on such date).  The Company shall provide the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any commitment reduction pursuant to clause (i) hereof.
(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce ratably in part, the Commitments; provided that any reduction of the Commitments shall be in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 3.04(b) by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the effective date of each such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof; provided, that a notice of termination delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of any event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof.
(d) Each termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.

SECTION 3.06.    Interest on Term Loans.  The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan, from the Closing Date until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(a) Base Rate Loans.  During such periods as such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loans, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (i) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (ii) the Applicable Margin, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Banks of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Sections 3.06(a) and 3.06(b).
(b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Majority Banks notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Term Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Banks of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Banks, whereupon (i) such Eurodollar Rate Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Loans, and (ii) the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(c) If the Company shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Company and the Banks and the Company will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.
(d) If the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $25,000,000, such Term Loans shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 4.02.    Increased Costs.
(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof occurring after the date of this Agreement  (a “Change in Law”) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), made or issued after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost (other than due to any imposition of or increase in Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes or Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on the Bank’s income (however denominated) or that are franchise or branch profits Taxes) to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, continuing, converting to, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then the Company shall from time to time, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  The Company shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(b) If any Bank determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority, made or issued after the date of this Agreement, (whether or not having the force of law, and for the avoidance of doubt, including any changes resulting from requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any company controlling such Bank and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s Commitment or the Term Loans, then, upon demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or such company in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence thereof.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Such certificate shall certify that the claim for additional amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Bank’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Bank whose transactions with such Bank are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Bank shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.  The Company shall pay such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 4.03.    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Bank will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of such Bank to make, or to Convert Term Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and such Bank that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Bank shall make Base Rate Loans in the amount and on the dates that it would have been requested to make Eurodollar Rate Loans had no such suspension been in effect.
SECTION 4.04.    Payments and Computations.
(a) The Company shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans, fees, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on the day when due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.
(b) All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except that payments pursuant to Section 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
 
-28-
 
(c) If any payment hereunder 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.
(d) Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Bank assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(e) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay costs and expenses, if any, of the Administrative Agent required to be reimbursed hereunder, (ii) second, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to them, and (iii) third, to pay principal of Term Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of Term Loans, respectively, then due to them.
(f) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (if the interest rate payable is based on the Prime Rate) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all other computations of interest based on the Base Rate, the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or commitment fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(g) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (i) each payment of principal of Term Loans shall be for the pro rata account of the Banks in accordance with the amounts of the Term Loans made by them, (ii) each payment of commitment fee shall be for the pro rata account of the Banks, and each reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 3.04(b) shall be applied pro rata to the respective obligations of the Banks, according to their respective Applicable Percentages; and (iii) each payment of interest shall be made for the pro rata account of the Banks in accordance with the amounts of interest then due and payable to them.
(h) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks the amount due.  In such event, if the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 4.05.    Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by a Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, or similar levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), except as required by applicable law.  If a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Tax from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the Notes to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.05) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to a request by the Company under Section 4.06) (“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Loan Parties will jointly and severally indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.05) paid by such Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.  A certificate as to the amount of such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding (as between the Loan Parties, the Banks and the Administrative Agent) for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Company from contesting the applicability of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as against any governmental entity, and each Bank and the Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate in such manner as the Company may reasonably request in contesting any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (provided that neither any Bank nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to so cooperate with the Company to the extent such Bank or the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that (i) such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes have been correctly asserted or (ii) such cooperation would be disadvantageous to it in any material way).
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other proof of payment of such Indemnified Taxes reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(i) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Bank party hereto as of the date hereof) and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Bank (in the case of each other Bank), and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Company with whichever of the following is applicable:

(ii) In the case of a Bank that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Bank shall provide the Company, on or prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Bank party hereto as of the date hereof) and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Bank (in the case of each other Bank), and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company, with executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.
(iii) If a payment made to a Bank would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iv) Each Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

-32-
 
(f) Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office(s) if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.
(g) 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 4.05 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.05), 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 4.05 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 paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(f)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).
SECTION 4.06.    Replacement of Banks.  If (a) any Bank requests compensation under Section 4.02, (b) the Company is required to pay additional amounts to any Bank or any governmental authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 4.05, (c) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (d) any Bank does not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of all Banks or all affected Banks in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 and (y) has been approved by the Majority Banks (a “Non-Consenting Bank”) or (e) prior to the funding of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, any Bank is not an Eligible Bank, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution (such financial institution, prior to the funding of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, to be an Eligible Bank) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that:
 
-33-
 
(i) the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b)(vii);
(ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 10.04(c)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.05, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank becoming a Non-Consenting Bank, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE IX
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 9.01.    Appointment and Authority.  Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Except as set forth in Sections 9.06 and 9.07, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (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.
 
-46-
 
SECTION 9.02.    Rights as a Bank.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.
SECTION 9.03.    Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any debtor relief law; and
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.01) 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.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Company or a Bank.
 
-47-
 
(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.04.    Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Term Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 9.05.    Indemnification.  The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent required but not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments as most recently in effect, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out‑of‑pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under any Loan Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company.
SECTION 9.06.    Guaranty Matters.  The Banks irrevocably authorize and direct the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty automatically as set forth in Section 7.03(c) and authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents or instruments as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guaranty.
 
-48-
 

SECTION 9.07.    Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be an Eligible Bank with an office in the United States or an Affiliate of any such Eligible Bank that is also an Eligible Bank with an office in the United States that, in each case, unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(c) with respect to a breach of Section 7.02(d) or Section 8.01(e) shall have occurred and then be continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Company.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Banks and the Company) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Majority Banks and the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and appoint a successor that is an Eligible Bank and that, unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(c) with respect to a breach of Section 7.02(d) or Section 8.01(e) shall have occurred and then be continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) With effect from the effective date of any resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.08.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks.  Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each Bank further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
-49-
 
SECTION 9.09.    No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, or a Bank hereunder.
SECTION 9.10.    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this 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 Term Loans as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.11.    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iii) (A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Term Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Bank.
(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or such Bank has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that:

 GUARANTEES
SECTION 11.01.  The Guarantees.  To induce the Banks to provide the Term Loans described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Company by reason of the Commitments and the Term Loans and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor party hereto (including any such Subsidiary executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations of the Company, in each case as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof or any other applicable Loan Document (including all interest, costs, fees, and charges after the entry of an order for relief against the Company or such other obligor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar proceeding, whether or not such interest, costs, fees and charges would be an allowed claim against the Company or any such obligor in any such proceeding).  In case of failure by the Company punctually to pay any Obligations guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor of the Company’s Obligations under this Section 11.01 hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.
SECTION 11.02.  Guarantee Unconditional.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XI shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:
(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of the Company or other obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;
(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;
 
-65-
 
(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which the Company or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;
(e) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Company or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or property such Person;
(f) any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Company or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of the Company or other obligor remain unpaid;
(g)  any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents; or
(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Article XI.
Each Guaranty hereunder shall be a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
SECTION 11.03.  Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.  Except as set forth in Section 7.03(c) or Section 9.06, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated and the principal of and interest on the Term Loans and all other amounts payable by the Company and Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid in full in cash.  If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any other amount payable by the Company or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Company or other obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.
SECTION 11.04.  Subrogation.  Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full subsequent to the termination of all the Commitments.  If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Company hereunder and the other Loan Documents (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) and the termination of the Commitments, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
-66-
 
SECTION 11.05.  Waivers.  Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person against the Company or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.
SECTION 11.06.  Limit on Liability.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XI shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Guaranty subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable law.
SECTION 11.07.  Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company or other obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or such obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Majority Banks.
SECTION 11.08.  Benefit to Guarantors.  The Company and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Company has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor.  Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.
SECTION 11.09.  Guarantor Covenants.  Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Company is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Company is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.
