The Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the relevant Borrower by remitting to such account as may be specified by the Company and consented to by the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and designated by the Borrower or the Company on behalf of the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(c) If any Lender makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which a Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Agent as provided in subsection (b).

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.03 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x)(A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars and (B) the rate reasonably determined by the Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, and (y) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) and (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with their terms.

(e) The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Accession Agreement delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (such records being referred to as the “Register”).

A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered, other than for purposes of Section 4.02, a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary, shall notify the Agent of such election by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and in the currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made by hand delivery or fax to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower, or by the Company on its behalf.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing (solely in the case of Borrowings denominated in US Dollars) or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. In the event of any conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (C) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency may be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of longer than one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.08. Facility Fees. The Company shall pay or cause the Borrowing Subsidiaries to pay to the Agent in US Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders, facility fees at the relevant Facility Fee Rate specified in the definition of the term “Applicable Rate”. Such facility fees shall accrue for the account of each Lender (a) from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which the Commitments are terminated in their entirety, on the daily amount of the Commitment (whether used or unused) of such Lender and (b) from and including the date on which the Commitments are terminated in their entirety to but excluding the date on which the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety, on the daily amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender. Accrued facility fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and upon the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if Loans shall be outstanding thereafter, then such facility fee shall be payable on demand).

SECTION 2.09. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments in their entirety at any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce the Commitments from time to time by an aggregate amount at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple; provided that if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Commitments may be reduced only if the outstanding Loans are concurrently prepaid in an amount that would be necessary to eliminate such excess, together with a payment of any redeployment costs payable pursuant to Section 2.13. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.09 shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayments. (a) Any Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, delivered no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (or, if such payment relates to a Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time), prepay any ABR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing in whole at any time or from time to time in part in amounts at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum that are multiples of the Borrowing Multiple, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrowers shall promptly prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount in excess of such aggregate amount of the Commitments, together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment. The Agent shall promptly notify (i) the Company in the event it determines that any prepayment is required under this paragraph and (ii) each Lender of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment.

(c) If prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs other than at the end of an applicable Interest Period, then the prepayment will be subject to compensation in respect to redeployment costs as provided in Section 2.13. Each prepayment under this Section 2.11 shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders included in such prepaid Borrowings.

(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company or the relevant Borrower.

SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder or under any other Loan Document, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (or, if such payment relates to a Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.01 (or, if such payment relates to a Borrowing in a Designated Foreign Currency, to the Agent’s London address referred to in Section 10.01) or at such other offices as the Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Company. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the ABR Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurocurrency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower, or from the Company on behalf of the relevant Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the greater of (i)(A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars, and (B) the rate reasonably determined by the Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, and (ii) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c) Any payment required to be made to any Borrower by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment.

(d) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of the amounts then due hereunder ratably among the parties entitled thereto, in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Agent (including any payment pursuant to Sections 2.03(d), 2.12(b) and 7.06), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged.

SECTION 2.13. Funding Losses. In the event of the payment of any amount of principal with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (pursuant to Article VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if any Borrower fails to borrow any Eurocurrency Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), or if any Borrower fails to prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant hereto or to convert or continue any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or at the request of the Company under Section 8.06 any Eurocurrency Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to such Borrower, or to the Company on its behalf, a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense and accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest hereunder computed by reference to the Alternative Base Rate at times when the Alternative Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (except in the case of Loans denominated in Sterling, for which a year of 365 days will be used for purposes of computing interest) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.15. Borrowing Subsidiaries. On or after the date hereof, the Company may request the designation of any Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Agent shall make a copy thereof available to each Lender. Unless any Lender shall inform the Agent within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of any such Subsidiary that is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, 15 Business Days) following the receipt of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement by such Lender that it is unlawful for such Lender to extend credit to such Subsidiary (in which case such Subsidiary shall not become a Borrowing Subsidiary), such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Agent shall make a copy thereof available to each Lender. Notwithstanding the second preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder; provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to make further Borrowings under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement obligating a Lender to make a Loan, each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrowing Subsidiary that is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan.

SECTION 2.16. Foreign Subsidiary Costs. (a) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to a Borrowing Subsidiary is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) is reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this paragraph and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Lender to additional interest or payments pursuant to paragraph (a) above, but in any event within 45 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.16 for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will, promptly after obtaining such actual knowledge, designate a different applicable lending office, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.17. Additional Reserve Costs. (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit C hereto.

(b) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserve Rate or the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loans.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Company, or, if the relevant Borrower is a Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company on behalf of such Borrowing Subsidiary, accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Company (either in its own capacity or on behalf of the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary) by such Lender shall be payable to the Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan. Any Lender which notifies the Company (either in its own capacity or on behalf of the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary) and the Agent under this paragraph (c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written certificate of withdrawal given to the Company and the Agent) in the event such Lender shall become aware that the circumstances giving rise to such additional interest have ceased to exist. Any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Company or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.18. Increase in Commitments. The Company may, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to the Lenders), executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause Commitments to be made available by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount not less than US$10,000,000 and in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 for each Increasing Lender set forth in such notice, provided, however, that (a) the aggregate amount of all new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph during the term of this Agreement shall in no event exceed US$500,000,000, (b) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (c) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Agent a duly executed Accession Agreement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G (an “Accession Agreement”). New Commitments and increases in Commitments pursuant to this Section shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this Section. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this Section unless, on the date of such increase, the Agent shall have received a certificate, dated as of the effective date of such increase and executed by the chief financial officer or the chief accounting officer of the Company, to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such clauses to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase). Following any extension of a new Commitment or increase of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.18, any Loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such extension or increase shall remain outstanding until the ends of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid or refinanced with new Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 ratably in accordance with the respective Commitments of the Lenders.

SECTION 2.19. No Double Payment. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 8.03 shall apply without duplication, and no Lender shall be compensated more than once for a single loss, cost or expense of the sort referred to in such Sections.

SECTION 2.20. Special Arrangements in Respect of Designated Foreign Currency Borrowings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) the Specified Increasing Lenders shall not make Loans as part of any Borrowing denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, and any such Borrowing shall consist of Loans made by the Lenders other than the Specified Increasing Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments and may be prepaid as provided in 2.11(a) ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof; (b) at any time when one or more Borrowings denominated in Designated Foreign Currencies are outstanding, the Borrowers may borrow Alternate US Dollar Loans from the Specified Increasing Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, but without simultaneously borrowing on a ratable basis from the other Lenders) in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not in excess of the DFC Percentage of the Specified Increasing Lenders’ Commitments, and may prepay such Alternate US Dollar Loans as provided in Section 2.11(a) ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof but without any simultaneous prepayment of the Loans of other Lenders; and (c) if any Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall be prepaid at a time when Alternate US Dollar Loans are outstanding, the Borrowers will simultaneously prepay Alternate US Dollar Loans, ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof, in such amount (if any) as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Alternate US Dollar Loans will not exceed the DFC Percentage of the Specified Increasing Lenders’ Commitments.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unused amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.08; and

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.05); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

In the event that the Agent and the Company each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its ratable share of the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency the Required Lenders advise the Agent that the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate or the Adjusted European Interbank Offered Rate, as applicable, as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurocurrency Loans in such currency for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Agent agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Loans in such currency shall be suspended.

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption or taking effect of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the implementation, interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the implementation, interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurocurrency Loans in any currency and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Company and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligation of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans in such currency shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurocurrency Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency Loans, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Eurocurrency Loan denominated in US Dollars, each such Borrower shall borrow an ABR Loan in an equal principal amount from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency Loans of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make such an ABR Loan.

SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the date hereof the adoption or taking effect of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty, or any change in the implementation, interpretation, application or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the implementation, interpretation, application or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors, but excluding with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market or the European interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurocurrency Loans, or shall subject the Agent or any Lender to any taxes, duties, levies, imports, deductions, charges or withholdings (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any of the foregoing excluded from the definition of the term “Taxes” under Section 8.04(a) and (ii) any of the foregoing with respect to payments by any Borrower under any Loan Document and the Other Taxes, which are the subject of Section 8.04) on its loans, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under any Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), the relevant Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption or taking effect of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the implementation, interpretation, application or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the implementation, interpretation, application or administration thereof, or any request, rule, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its, or its Parent’s, policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), the relevant Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any such certificate shall contain a statement as to the calculation of such amount; provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any information it considers, in its sole discretion, to be confidential.

(d) For purposes of this Section 8.03, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulatory requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all regulatory 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 regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in applicable law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued.

SECTION 8.04. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, (i) U.S. Federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, (ii) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal office is located or is otherwise treated as resident of or as doing business in such jurisdiction and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, and (iii) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Agent or any Lender is located (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the 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, (B) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (C) such Borrower shall pay the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (D) such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt (or such other satisfactory evidence as may be available to the Company) evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d) (i) If any Lender or the Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) shall deliver to the Company and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Borrower that is not resident for tax purposes in the United States, the applicable Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) will not be required to deliver any such documentation unless it has received written notice from the Company advising it in reasonable detail of the general availability of an exemption or reduction of withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Borrower is located and containing all applicable documentation (together, if requested by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), with a certified English translation thereof) required to be completed by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in order to receive any such exemption or reduction, and such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is reasonably satisfied that it is legally able to provide such documentation. In addition, any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) 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 8.04(d)(ii)(A) through (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or the Agent’s (as the case may be) reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be).

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments under any Loan Document (and specifying such reduced rate of withholding),

(B) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(C) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY with any accompanying statements and certificates, or

(D) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (B) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN.

(iii) 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the 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 by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the applicable Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount of tax to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (iii), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) If, at the time a Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the case of a Lender, designates a new Applicable Lending Office), a United States Federal withholding tax rate in excess of zero is applicable to any payment to such Lenders under any Loan Document, withholding tax at such rate with respect to such payments shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a); provided that if any amount would otherwise be so excluded with respect to any Participant, any Lender that became a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.06 or 10.06 or any Lender that designated a new Applicable Lending Office pursuant to Section 8.04(f), the amount so excluded shall be reduced to the amount (if any) that had been excluded with respect to the applicable granting Lender, assigning Lender or designating Lender immediately before the applicable grant, assignment or designation.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) has failed to provide the Borrower or the Agent with appropriate documentation pursuant to Section 8.04(d)(i) through (iii) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the applicable jurisdiction; provided, however, that should a Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes solely because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) shall reasonably request to assist such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) to recover such Taxes.

(f) If a Lender has knowledge that any Borrower would otherwise become required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) If the Agent or any Lender has knowledge of the imposition of any Taxes for which any Borrower is required to indemnify such Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) under this Section 8.04, such Agent or such Lender shall notify such Borrower within 30 Business Days of obtaining such knowledge of such imposition.

(h) If the Agent or any Lender shall receive any net tax benefit by reason of payments of additional amounts by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.04 which, in the sole judgment of such Agent or Lender, it would not otherwise have been able to obtain, such Agent or Lender shall pay to such Borrower the amount of such net benefit, as determined by such Agent or Lender in its sole discretion. Nothing herein shall be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to disclose any information regarding its Taxes that it deems confidential.

(i) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the applicable Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so), (ii) any taxes, duties, levies, imports, deductions, charges or withholdings attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes excluded from the definition of the term “Taxes” under Section 8.04(a) attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph.

SECTION 8.05. ABR Loans Substituted for Affected Eurocurrency Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars and the relevant Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist):

(a) all Loans denominated in US Dollars which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurocurrency Loans shall be made instead as ABR Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency Loans of the other Lenders), and

(b) after each of its Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Eurocurrency Loans shall be applied to repay its ABR Loans instead.

SECTION 8.06. Substitution of Lender. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02, (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall have the right to cause such Lender to transfer its Commitment and outstanding Loans to a financial institution or financial institutions (which may be one or more of the Lenders) which is reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Agent; provided that such Lender shall receive as consideration for such transfer an amount equal to the principal of and interest accrued on the transferred Loans, if any, and all fees and other amounts accrued for its account or otherwise owed to it hereunder as of the date of transfer.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrowing Subsidiaries hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation.

The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrowing Subsidiary of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company under this Article IX shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrowing Subsidiary under the provisions of this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release of any Borrowing Subsidiary from, any of the terms or provisions applicable to any Borrowing Subsidiary of this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) the failure or delay of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (e) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument; (f) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; or (g) any other act (other than payment or performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary), omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.

The Company further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Borrowing Subsidiary shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any Borrower or Subsidiary or any other Person.

The obligations of the Company under this Article IX shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary, any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary or otherwise.

The Company further agrees that its obligations under this Article IX shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of any Borrowing Subsidiary is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrowing Subsidiary to pay any Obligation of such Borrowing Subsidiary when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any such Obligation shall be due in a currency other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any legal prohibition, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of such Lender, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses (including losses or expenses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates) that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment in full by the Company of any Obligation of any Borrowing Subsidiary, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to the Company the amount of such Obligation owed to such Lender and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by the Company, or, if requested by the Company, make such disposition thereof as the Company shall direct (all without recourse to any Lender and without any representation or warranty by any Lender). Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrowing Subsidiary arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by such Borrowing Subsidiary to the Lenders.

SECTION 10.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent and the Arrangers, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and the Arrangers, in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents, any waiver or consent under any Loan Document or any amendment hereof or thereof or any Default or alleged Default under any Loan Document and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Lender, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and the respective Related Parties of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee or any other party to this Agreement shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred (i) as the result of any such Indemnitee’s (or its Related Parties) gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) by a Lender or its Related Parties in connection with a proceeding with any other Lender or any Assignee or Participant that (x) arises in connection with an assignment, participation or other transfer pursuant to Section 10.06, (y) does not relate to any action taken or failed to be taken by any Borrower and (z) does not relate to any right or obligation of any Borrower.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Company nor any Borrowing Subsidiary shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent such damages arise from such Indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing does not constitute a waiver of any claim or other right with respect to any breach by any Indemnitee of its obligations under Section 10.14). No party hereto, or any of its Related Parties, shall have any liability, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, and no party hereto shall assert, or permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any such liability (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Company or the Borrowing Subsidiaries of their obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10.03).

SECTION 10.04. Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 10.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent) (and, in the case of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (a) increase the Commitment of any Lender, or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (b) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan of any Lender, or any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, or reduce the amount thereof or waive or excuse the payment thereof, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (c) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan of any Lender or any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment of any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (d) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (e) change the definition of the term “Designated Foreign Currencies” without the prior written consent of each Lender, (f) release the guarantee of the Company provided in Article IX, or limit the liability of the Company in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of each Lender and (g) change Section 2.12(d) or 10.04 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the prior written consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification and (ii) any amendment of the definition of the term “Applicable Rate” pursuant to the last sentence of such definition shall require only the written consent of the Company and the Required Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Agent Designees and the Related Parties of any of the Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Agent, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, which obligations shall remain unchanged, and the relevant Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the proviso to Section 10.05 without the consent of the Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 8.04(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.04(d) shall be delivered to the granting Lender)). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by paragraph (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this paragraph (b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 Loans, Commitments or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loans, Commitments or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent 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 Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of (A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for assignments to an Affiliate of such Lender, any other Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Eligible Assignee and (B) the Agent; provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for assignments to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or 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 Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) 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;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such processing and recordation fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws; and

(E) if the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.04.

(iii) Subject to the satisfaction of all requirements of this Section, including the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 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 2.13, 2.16, 2.17, 8.03 and 8.04 (in each case, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment) and of Section 10.03).

(iv) Upon receipt by the Agent of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph, and following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee and that it shall have complied with the requirements of clause (E) of paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) No Eligible Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances.

SECTION 10.07. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, or any appellate court from any thereof, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims in respect of any such proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided that any claim brought by any Lender or the Agent, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in respect of any such claim relating to a Borrowing Subsidiary that is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States may be brought, and may be heard and determined, in a court in the jurisdiction in which such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated or conducts business. Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in a court referred to in paragraph (b) above and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(d) Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01(a). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the Company as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to any Borrowing Subsidiary in care of the Company at the Company’s address used for purposes of giving notices under Section 10.01, and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Company to accept such service on its behalf.

(f) In the event any Borrowing Subsidiary or any of its assets has or hereafter acquires, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any immunity from jurisdiction, legal proceedings, attachment (whether before or after judgment), execution, judgment or setoff, such Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives such immunity.

SECTION 10.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the commitment letter entered into in connection with the credit facility established hereby and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of such commitment letter or any fee letter referred to therein that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which the Agent has received counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, written confirmation from such party in form satisfactory to the Agent of the execution of a counterpart hereof by such party); provided that the effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01.

SECTION 10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 10.11. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including any Borrowing Subsidiary) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency which may be so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 10.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 10.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof the Agent or such Lender shall notify the Company of the receipt of such subpoena or other legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or (iii) is independently developed by the Agent or any Lender without reference to the Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. 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.

SECTION 10.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrowers agree that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 10.16. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.17. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.18. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by any Borrower or the Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

(b) The Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by the Borrowers pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Agent through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another website or other information platform (the “Platform”), (i) the Agent may post any information that any Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives and (ii) if the Borrowers have not indicated whether any information furnished by any of them pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Private Side Lender Representatives. Each of the Borrowers agrees to specify whether any information furnished by such Borrower to the Agent pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement contains MNPI, and the Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such specification by the Borrowers without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

EXHIBIT A

[FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION]

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION

Reference is made to the Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Dover Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

1. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns, without recourse, to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth herein and the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date inserted by the Agent as contemplated below, the interests set forth below in (a) all the Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and percentage interest identified below of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of the Assignor under the credit facility provided for under the Credit Agreement (including any Guarantees included in such credit facility) and (b) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (a) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above being referred to herein collectively as the “Assigned Interest”). Such sale and assignment is without recourse to the Assignor and, except as expressly provided in this Assignment and Assumption, without representation or warranty by the Assignor.

2.

MANDATORY COSTS RATE

Reference is made to the Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Dover Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

1. The Mandatory Costs Rate is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions).

2. The Mandatory Costs Rate for any Lender will be calculated by such Lender as follows:

(a) in relation to a Loan denominated in Sterling:

[Missing Graphic Reference] % per annum

(b) in relation to a Loan denominated in any currency other than Sterling:

[Missing Graphic Reference] % per annum.

Where:

A is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which such Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

B is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate and any additional rate of interest specified in the final sentence of Section 2.06(b) of the Credit Agreement) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

C is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which such Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

E is designed to compensate the Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the applicable Lender as being the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.

3. For the purposes of this Exhibit:

(a) “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

(d) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

4. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

5. The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for determination of the Mandatory Costs in accordance with the foregoing. The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties to the Credit Agreement any amendments that are required to be made to this Exhibit in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England or the Financial Services Authority (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

Re:

Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2011, among Dover Corporation, the Borrowing Subsidiaries party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel of Dover Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its reporting business segments (the “Segments”). I am not the General Counsel of any of the Segments, but the Segments report to me quarterly on material litigation and/or contingencies and review other legal matters with me from time to time.

I have examined the Credit Agreement and the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below.

In such examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to various questions of fact material to the opinions rendered herein, I have relied upon the statements and representations in the documents which I have examined. I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the documents that I have examined by each party thereto other than the Company, that each such party has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its obligations under each such document to which it is a party, that each such document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each such other party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and that each such party has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against it. I have further assumed that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence, and that there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Based upon my examination, as described above, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation incorporated and in good standing and has a legal corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified and in good standing in each other jurisdiction in the United States where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. The Company has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals the failure to have which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement are within the Company’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement, and the borrowings by the Company thereunder, will not (a) require the consent, approval or authorization of, or any registration, declaration or filing with, the State of New York or the United States of America, or any of their respective agencies, other than filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K and a copy of the Credit Agreement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (b) violate any statute or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement, and the borrowings by the Company thereunder, will not contravene, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto under (a) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or (b) any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument actually known to me and binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto. Based on factual information provided by the Company, the Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto are all the Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in any jurisdiction within the United States which fall within the definition of a “significant subsidiary” contained as of the date hereof in Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

6. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official, in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Credit Agreement.

7. Each of the Company’s corporate Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto is a corporation incorporated and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. Each of the Company’s corporate Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals the failure to have which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

8. The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9. The making of Loans under the Credit Agreement and the application of proceeds thereof by the Company as provided in the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States.

In giving the opinions expressed above, I express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions indemnifying a party for its own wrongful or negligent acts or where the indemnification is contrary to public policy. I also wish to point out that the enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

My opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Credit Agreement may be limited or otherwise affected by (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally, (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including (1) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (2) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, (c) public policy and (d) concepts of comity.

For purposes of the opinions set forth in the first sentence of paragraph 1 above, I have relied solely on (i) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware dated as of November [ ], 2011, (ii) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of California dated as of November [ ], 2011, (iii) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado dated as of November [ ], 2011, (iv) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois dated as of November [ ], 2011, (v) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana dated as of November [ ], 2011, (vi) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of New York dated as of November [ ], 2011 and (vii) a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio dated as of November [ ], 2011.

For purposes of the opinions set forth in the first sentence of paragraph 7 above, I have relied solely on [insert certificate descriptions].

My opinions above are limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Credit Agreement and do not extend to licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the conduct of the business of the parties to the Credit Agreement.

I am admitted to practice in the State of New York. The opinions expressed above are limited to the internal laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and not any administrative or judicial interpretations thereof, and the federal laws of the United States of America.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. The opinions set forth above are rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by or furnished to any other person or otherwise referred to in any report or document without my prior written consent, provided that a copy hereof may be furnished to your counsel and to any assignee that becomes a Lender after the date hereof.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. I undertake no, and disclaim any, duty to advise you regarding any changes in, or to otherwise communicate with you with respect to, the matters and opinions set forth herein.

Very truly yours,

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] counsel to each entity listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each, a “New Borrowing Subsidiary”) in connection with the following documents:

(a) Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Dover Corporation, the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent; and

(b) the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (the “Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements”), among Dover Corporation, each New Borrowing Subsidiary and the Agent.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion.

In such examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to various questions of fact material to the opinions rendered herein, we have relied upon the statements and representations in the documents which we have examined. We have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the documents that we have examined by each party thereto other than the New Borrowing Subsidiaries, that each such party has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into, and perform its obligations under, each such document to which it is a party, that each such document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each such other party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and that each such party has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against it. We have further assumed that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence, and that there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:7

1. Each New Borrowing Subsidiary is a [INSERT ORGANIZATION TYPE] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION]. The execution, delivery and performance by each New Borrowing Subsidiary of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement to which it is a party and of the Credit Agreement are within such New Borrowing Subsidiary’s [INSERT PER ORGANIZATION TYPE] powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary [INSERT AS APPLICABLE] action on the part of such New Borrowing Subsidiary. Each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each New Borrowing Subsidiary that is party thereto and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such New Borrowing Subsidiary, enforceable against such New Borrowing Subsidiary in accordance with its terms.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements by the New Borrowing Subsidiaries will not violate (a) any law, statute, rule or regulation of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] or any order of any governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] known to us or (b) the New Borrowing Subsidiaries’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws [OR INSERT EQUIVALENT UNDER LOCAL LAW].

3. No authorization, action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or other action by any governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] is or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the New Borrowing Subsidiaries of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.

4. It is not necessary under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] that the Agent, any Agent Designee or any Lender be a resident of, domiciled in or licensed, qualified or entitled to do business in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] (a) by reason of the execution or performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements or (b) in order to enable any of them to enforce their respective rights and remedies under any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements, and none of them is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] solely by reason of the execution, performance or enforcement of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.

5. The New York governing law clauses set forth in such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements are valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION].

6. Any judgment or award by the New York Courts in an action, suit or proceeding against any New Borrowing Subsidiary arising out of any of the Loan Documents to which it is party would be recognized and enforced in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] and any political subdivision thereof, whether denominated in the currency of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] or otherwise, and it would not be necessary to commence new proceedings in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] other than a proceeding in which proof of such judgment or award is submitted.

7. No [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] ad valorem stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, registration tax or other tax, fee or charge is payable on the execution or enforceability of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements [that has not been paid].

8. No authorization, consent, approval, or filing with any court or governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] is required for the Agent to remit payments or the proceeds of enforcement actions taken under or made with respect to the [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] to other jurisdictions.

9. To our knowledge, there is no application or proceeding pending regarding the liquidation or dissolution of the New Borrowing Subsidiary.

We are admitted to practice in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION]. We express no opinion as to matters under or involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION].

[Insert here qualifications, if any, to the above opinions, necessary or part of best practice under local law.]

7 The form of the opinions that follow are applicable for New Borrowing Subsidiaries that are organized outside the United States, and wording may change as necessary or if part of best practice under local law. The form of the opinions for New Borrowing Subsidiaries that are organized in the United States to be substantially similar to the form of such opinions set forth in Exhibit D to the Credit Agreement, except that such opinions shall not include references to any subsidiaries thereof.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. This opinion letter is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. Without our prior consent, it may not be relied upon for any other purpose or relied upon by or furnished to any other person other than your counsel, your successors and any person which becomes your assignee in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. We undertake no, and disclaim any, duty to advise you regarding any changes in, or to otherwise communicate with you with respect to, the matters and opinions set forth herein.
