For purposes of the calculation required by the immediately preceding sentence, LIBOR Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans and all Loans of a single Interest Rate Type made on a single date shall be considered a single Loan if such Loans have a common Interest Period.

(c) Subject to Section 2.3, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by making funds available at the Funding Office no later than 1:00 P.M. New York City time (3:00 P.M. New York City time, in the case of an ABR Borrowing) in federal or other immediately available funds. Upon receipt of the funds to be made available by the Lenders to fund any Borrowing hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall disburse such funds by depositing them into an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.3. Borrowing Procedure.

In order to effect a Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (a) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (a) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (b) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof and (c) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Interest Rate Type of a Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.3 of its election to refinance a Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the Borrower shall (unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest Period) be deemed to have given notice of an election to refinance such Borrowing, subject to Section 2.8, with a LIBOR Borrowing of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3 and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.4. Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Borrowings shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any Borrowing will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X of the Board. The Borrower shall not request any Borrowing, and the Borrower shall not use and its respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or other applicable anti-corruption laws, (b) for the purpose of directly or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, indirectly funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any individual or entity that is, at the time of such funding, financing or facilitating, the subject or target of any Sanctions or is included on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated nationals, HMT’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets and the Investment Ban List, or in any country, region or territory to the extent that such country, region or territory itself is then the subject of any Sanction, or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto, except where such violation, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 2.5. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.6. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.7. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.8. Refinancings.

The Borrower may refinance all or any part of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Interest Rate Type made pursuant to a notice under Section 2.3, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein and elsewhere in this Agreement; provided, however, that at any time after the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a Default or an Event of Default, no Borrowing or portion thereof may be refinanced with a LIBOR Loan without the consent of the Required Lenders. Any Borrowing or part thereof refinanced under this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to be repaid in accordance with Section 2.10 with the proceeds of a new Borrowing hereunder and the proceeds of the new Borrowing, to the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing being refinanced, shall not be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent or by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower; provided, however, that (a) if the principal amount extended by a Lender in a refinancing is greater than the principal amount extended by such Lender in the Borrowing being refinanced, then such Lender shall pay such difference to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Borrower or any Lenders described in clause (b) below, as applicable, (b) if the principal amount extended by a Lender in the Borrowing being refinanced is greater than the principal amount being extended by such Lender in the refinancing, the Administrative Agent shall return the difference to such Lender out of amounts received pursuant to clause (a) above, (c) to the extent any Lender fails to pay the Administrative Agent amounts due from it pursuant to clause (a) above, any Loan or portion thereof being refinanced with such amounts shall not be deemed repaid in accordance with this Section 2.8 and, to the extent of such failure, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent as required by Section 2.12, and (d) to the extent the Borrower fails to pay to the Administrative Agent any amounts due in accordance with Section 2.12 as a result of the failure of a Lender to pay the Administrative Agent any amounts due as described in clause (c) above, the portion of any refinanced Loan deemed not repaid shall be deemed to be outstanding solely to the Lender which has failed to pay the Administrative Agent amounts due from it pursuant to clause (a) above to the full extent of such Lender’s portion of such Loan.

SECTION 2.9. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the 15th day (or, on the next Business Day, if the 15th day is not a Business Day) of the calendar month immediately following the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein and the outstanding balance of all Loans made by such Lender’s shall have been reduced to zero, a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”), at the rate per annum from time to time in effect in accordance with Section 2.24, on the average daily amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date, or ending with (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) any date on which the Revolving Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated). All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Facility Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date, shall be payable in arrears and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender as provided herein.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any written and executed fee agreements with the Administrative Agent.

(c) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower on the Maturity Date, or in each case, on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrower from time to time outstanding from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.11.

(b) [Intentionally omitted]

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such account or accounts.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.3(e), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Interest Rate Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.11. Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, the Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the applicable LIBOR Spread from time to time in effect. Interest on each LIBOR Borrowing shall be payable on each applicable Interest Payment Date.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin, if any, for ABR Loans from time to time in effect pursuant to Section 2.24.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan. The LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto (except such as shall result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

SECTION 2.12. Interest on Overdue Amounts.

If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before a judgment) at a rate equal to (a) in the case of the remainder of the then current Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, the rate applicable to such Loan under Section 2.11 plus 2% per annum and (b) in the case of any other Loan or amount, the rate that would at the time be applicable to an ABR Loan under Section 2.11 plus 2% per annum.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest.

If in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for Dollars for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan, or (b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request with respect to a Loan into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a pending request for a LIBOR Loan as to which the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of the first sentence of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate that reflects the all-in-cost of funds to the Administrative Agent for funding Loans in the applicable amount, and with the same Interest Period as the LIBOR Loan requested to be made, converted or continued, as the case may be (the “Impacted Loans”), in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (x) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this paragraph, (y) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (z) any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge

interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have determined that circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Termination, Reduction and Increase of Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Revolving Commitments of all of the Lenders shall be automatically terminated on the Maturity Date.

(b) Subject to Section 2.15(b), upon at least one Business Day of prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall have been received not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time), the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Total Revolving Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to make any such termination or reduction that would reduce the Total Revolving Commitment to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case, such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each reduction in the Total Revolving Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on the date of each termination or reduction in the Total Revolving Commitment, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Total Revolving Commitment so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.

(d) If the Total Revolving Commitment is less than $500,000,000 at any time and the Borrower wishes to increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”), and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such proposed increase and provide such additional information regarding such proposed increase as any Lender may reasonably request. The Borrower may, at its election, (i) offer one or more of the Lenders the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Offered Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (f) below and/or (ii) offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Offered Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (e) below; provided, that any Lender or bank, financial institution or other entity that is offered the opportunity to participate in all or any portion of the Offered Increase Amount shall be consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent to the extent the Administrative Agent would have a right under this Agreement to consent to an assignment of all or any portion of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans to such Lender or bank, financial institution or other entity. Each Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities the Borrower desires to participate in such Total Revolving Commitment increase. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, will notify such Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer.

(e) Any Eligible Assignee which the Borrower selects to offer participation in the increased Revolving Commitments and which elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Revolving Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 2.14(d)(ii) shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other Person (herein called a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Revolving Commitment of such New Lender; provided that the Revolving Commitment of any such new Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000.

(f) Any Lender which accepts an offer to it by the Borrower to increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.14(d)(i) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Revolving Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Revolving Commitment of such Lender.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.14 cause the Total Revolving Commitment to exceed $500,000,000 and (ii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(h) Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(d), each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) and, if on the date of such increase there are any Loans outstanding, such Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 2.15. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of Section 2.19 but otherwise without premium or penalty, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 Noon, New York City, time at least one Business Day before such prepayment in the case of an ABR Loan and at least three Business Days before such prepayment in the case of a LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000.

(b) On any date when the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans (after giving effect to any Borrowings effected on such date) exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in such amount as may be necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans after giving effect to such prepayment does not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment then in effect. Any prepayments required by this paragraph shall be applied to outstanding ABR Loans up to the full amount thereof before they are applied to outstanding LIBOR Loans.

(c) Each notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.15(a) must be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall specify the specific Borrowing(s), the prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing(s) by the amount stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.15 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid, to the date of prepayment.

SECTION 2.16. Eurocurrency Reserve Costs.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of, or including, Eurocurrency Liabilities (as defined in Regulation D of the Board), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made to the Borrower by such Lender, from the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Loan to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) LIBOR for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by multiplying LIBOR as referred to in clause (i) above by the Statutory Reserves of such Lender for such Interest Period. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than five Business Days before the next Interest Payment Date for such Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Borrower by any Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan.

SECTION 2.17. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Except with respect to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 2.23, or Excluded Taxes if (i) after the Closing Date any change in Applicable Law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or the compliance with any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued or (iii) the compliance with any 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, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued (x) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender, (y) shall impose on any Lender or the London interbank market for Dollars any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by such Lender or (z) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost (other than, except as provided in clause (z), the amount of Taxes, if any) to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount (other than a reduction resulting from an increase in Taxes, if any) of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall pay such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increase or reduction to such Lender.

(b) Except with respect to Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 2.23, or Excluded Taxes if (i) after the Closing Date, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption after the Closing Date of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or the compliance with any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued or (iii) the compliance with any 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, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or such Lender’s holding company) could have achieved but for the items referenced in clauses (i)-(iii) of this sentence (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, from time to time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction upon demand by such Lender.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail (i) such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and (ii) the calculation of such amount or amounts referred to in the preceding clause (i), shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any Interest Period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to such Interest Period or any other Interest Period. The protection of this Section 2.17 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or condition which shall have been imposed.

(e) Each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that (i) would cause it to incur any increased cost under this Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 2.23 or (ii) would require the Borrower to pay an increased amount under this Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 2.23, it will notify the Borrower of such event or condition and, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies, will use its reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender through another Lending Office of such Lender if as a result thereof the additional monies which would otherwise be required to be paid or the reduction of amounts receivable by such Lender thereunder in respect of such Loans would be materially reduced, or any inability to perform would cease to exist, or the increased costs which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 2.23 would be materially reduced or the Taxes payable under Section 2.23, or other amounts otherwise payable under this Section 2.17 or Section 2.18 would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by such

Lender, in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.23. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(f) In the event any Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a notice that LIBOR Loans are no longer available from such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.23, the Borrower may (but subject in any such case to the payments required by Section 2.18), upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, identify to the Administrative Agent a lending institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent which will purchase the Revolving Commitment and the amount of outstanding Loans from the Lender providing such notice and such Lender shall thereupon assign its Revolving Commitment and any Loans owing to such Lender to such replacement lending institution pursuant to Section 10.3. Such notice shall specify an effective date for such assignment and at the time thereof, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest, accrued Facility Fees and all other amounts (including without limitation all amounts payable under this Section) owing hereunder to such Lender as at such effective date for such assignment.

SECTION 2.18. Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if, after the Closing Date, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) (x) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such LIBOR Loan or to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended, whereupon the Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Loans from such Lender hereunder in such affected currency or currencies unless such notice is subsequently withdrawn and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Alternate Base Rate, such Lender may request that the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists; and

(ii) (x) such Lender may demand the Borrower prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon LIBOR, such Lender may request that the Administrative Agent, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing

by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.18, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(a) shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.19. Reimbursement of Lenders.

(a) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) for any loss, cost or expense incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) by any payment or prepayment (for any reason, whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, including an assignment by a Lender contemplated under Section 10.17), or conversion or continuation, of any LIBOR Loan if such Loan is repaid other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan or (ii) in the event that after the Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.3 in respect of LIBOR Loans, the applicable Loan is not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified by the Borrower for any reason other than (I) a suspension or limitation under Section 2.18 of the right of the Borrower to select a LIBOR Loan or (II) a breach by a Lender of its obligations hereunder. In the case of such failure to borrow, such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount not borrowed, at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.11, for the period from the date of such failure to borrow, to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds not advanced during the period referred to above. In the case of a payment other than on the last day of the Interest Period for a Loan, such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.11, for the period from the date of such payment to the last day of the then current daily Interest Period for such Loan, over (B) the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of the Loan so paid times (y) the current daily yield on U.S. Treasury Securities (at such date of determination) with maturities approximately equal to the remaining Interest Period for such Loan times (z) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period for such Loan. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate within thirty days after its receipt of the same.

(b) In the event the Borrower fails to (i) prepay any Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(a), or to convert or continue any Loan (other than an ABR Loan) other than on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) on its due date or any payment thereof in a currency other than Dollars, the Borrower on demand by any Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay or pay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by, or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract by, such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment or payment. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.19, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan made by it at LIBOR for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for Dollars for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 2.20. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Except as permitted under Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 2.29, 2.31 or as set forth anywhere else in this Agreement or any other Fundamental Document, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Total Revolving Commitment and each refinancing of any Borrowing with another Borrowing, or conversion of any Borrowing into another Borrowing, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages.

(b) Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing computed in accordance with Section 2.1, to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.21. Right of Setoff.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have directed the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender and any other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to, or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loans to the Borrower held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Loans and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 2.22. Manner of Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in Federal or other immediately available funds without deduction, setoff or counterclaim at the Funding Office no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall be due. Interest in respect of any Loan hereunder shall accrue from and including the date of such Loan to, but excluding, the date on which such Loan is paid or refinanced with a Loan of a different Interest Rate Type.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any LIBOR Borrowing (or, in the case of any ABR Borrowing, prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such ABR Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2 (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.2) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand in Dollars, in Federal or other immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus the fee customarily charged by the Administrative Agent (and subject to the IFSA interbank compensation rules from time to time) in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.23. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any Fundamental Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (ii) the Borrower shall pay such amounts to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iii) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.23) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Without duplication of any amounts already paid under Section 2.23(a) or (c) the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) If the United States Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim against the Administrative Agent or a Lender that the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes has not been paid (including where such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly on the Administrative Agent or any Lender), without duplication of any amounts already paid under Section 2.23(a) or (b), the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.23) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority (other than those resulting from the Administrative Agent or Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). A certificate (along with a copy of the applicable documents from the United States Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction that

asserts such claim) as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and at any other time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if the Lender is not legally entitled to deliver such documentation.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) Each Lender and Administrative Agent that is a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement and at the time(s) prescribed by Applicable Law, and in the manner(s) prescribed by Applicable Law, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as applicable), a properly completed and duly executed copy of United States Internal Revenue Form W-9, or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding Tax on payments made hereunder.

(B) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Fundamental Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Fundamental Document, IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender or to the Administrative Agent under any Fundamental Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or the Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.23 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole good-faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid amounts pursuant to this Section 2.23, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.23 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.23 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Each Lender agrees (i) that as between it and the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, it shall be the Person to deduct and withhold Taxes, and to the extent required by law it shall deduct and withhold Taxes, on amounts that such Lender may remit to any other Person(s) by reason of any undisclosed transfer or assignment of an interest in this Agreement to such other Person(s) pursuant to paragraph (g) of Section 10.3 and (ii) to indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any officers, directors, agents, or employees of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent against, and to hold them harmless from, any Tax, interest, additions to Tax, penalties, reasonable counsel and accountants’ fees, disbursements or payments arising from the assertion by any appropriate Governmental Authority of any claim against them relating to a failure to withhold Taxes as required by Applicable Law with respect to amounts described in clause (i) of this paragraph (g).

(h) Each assignee of a Lender’s interest in this Agreement in conformity with Section 10.3 shall be bound by this Section 2.23, so that such assignee will have all of the obligations and provide all of the forms and statements and all indemnities, representations and warranties required to be given under this Section 2.23.

SECTION 2.24. Certain Pricing Adjustments.

The Facility Fee and applicable LIBOR Spread for Loans in effect from time to time shall be determined in accordance with the following table:



Moody’s/S&P Rating Equivalent	Facility Fee (in Basis Points)	Applicable LIBOR Spread (in Basis Points)	Total Drawn Pricing (in Basis Points)

> A3/A-	7.5	92.5	100.0
Baa1/BBB+	10.0	97.5	107.5
Baa2/BBB	12.5	107.5	120.0
Baa3/BBB-	17.5	132.5	150.0
< Baa3/BBB-	22.5	152.5	175.0

In the event that S&P and Moody’s ratings on the Borrower’s senior non-credit enhanced unsecured long-term debt are not equivalent to each other, the higher rating of S&P or Moody’s will determine the Facility Fee and applicable LIBOR Spread, unless the ratings are more than one level apart, in which case the rating one level below the higher rating of S&P or Moody’s will be determinative. In the event that (a) the Borrower’s senior non-credit enhanced unsecured long-term debt is not rated by both of S&P or Moody’s (for any reason, including if S&P or Moody’s shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations) or (b) if the rating system of any of S&P or Moody’s shall change, then an amendment shall be negotiated in good faith to the references to specific ratings in the table above to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency (including an amendment to provide for the substitution of an equivalent or successor ratings agency). In the event that the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt is not rated by either of S&P or Moody’s, then the Facility Fee and applicable LIBOR Spread shall be deemed to be calculated as if the lowest rating category set forth above applied until such time as an amendment to the table above shall be agreed to. Any increase in the Facility Fee or applicable LIBOR Spread determined in accordance with the foregoing table shall become effective on the date of announcement or publication by the Borrower or the applicable rating agency of a reduction in such rating or, in the absence of such announcement or publication, on the effective date of such decreased rating, or on the date of any request by the Borrower to the applicable rating agency not to rate its senior unsecured long-term debt or on the date any of such rating agencies announces it shall no longer rate the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt. Any decrease in the Facility Fee or applicable LIBOR Spread shall be effective on the date of announcement or publication by any of such rating agencies of an increase in rating or in the absence of announcement or publication on the effective date of such increase in rating.

The applicable margin for ABR Loans shall be the applicable LIBOR Spread minus 100 Basis Points (but not less than 0%).

SECTION 2.26. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.27. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.28. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.29. Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Request for Extension. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice, an “Extension Notice”) request on one occasion that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional six (6) month period beyond the Initial Maturity Date. The Borrower shall deliver the Extension Notice at least 30 days, but no more than 120 days, prior to the Initial Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such Extension Notice to the Lenders promptly following its receipt thereof.

(b) Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Maturity Date Extension. The effectiveness of an extension of the Maturity Date is subject to satisfaction of each of the following requirements as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Extension Notice within the period required under Section 2.29(a) above;

(ii) on the date of such Extension Notice and both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension of the Initial Maturity Date, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders based on their respective Applicable Exposure Percentages, an extension fee in an amount equal to 0.075% of the Total Revolving Commitment in effect at the time the extension becomes effective, it being agreed that such fee shall be fully earned upon the effectiveness of each the extension of the Maturity Date and shall not thereafter be refundable for any reason;

(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the effective date of the extension, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (B) certifying that (1) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Extension Notice and, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the extension of the Initial Maturity Date, except (x) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (y) any representation or warranty that is already by its terms qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects as of such applicable date (including such earlier date set forth in the foregoing clause (x)) after giving effect to such qualification and (z) for purposes of this Section 2.29, the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 5.1, and (2) no Default shall have occurred and is then continuing.

SECTION 2.30. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.31. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.9.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise), including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.3, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by

this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in escrow in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro-rata in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or placed in escrow) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.31 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the outstanding amount of the Loans funded by it.

(iv) [Intentionally omitted].

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their reasonable discretion that a Lender no longer falls within the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees or commissions accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.


3.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans provided for herein, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans:

SECTION 3.1. Corporate Existence and Power.

(a) The Borrower is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is in good standing or has applied for authority to operate as a foreign corporation or other organization in all jurisdictions where the nature of its properties or business so requires it and where a failure to be in good standing as a foreign corporation or other organization would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents and other documents contemplated hereby and to borrow hereunder.

8.	THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.1. Administration by Administrative Agent.

The general administration of the Fundamental Documents and any other documents contemplated by this Agreement shall be by the Administrative Agent or its designees. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its discretion, to take or refrain from taking such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise or refrain from exercising such powers under the Fundamental Documents and any other documents contemplated by this Agreement as are delegated by the terms hereof or thereof, as appropriates together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as set forth in the Fundamental Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.9), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be

liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.9) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein. Any Lender which is not the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether such Lender bears the title of any other Agent or any similar title, as indicated on the signature pages hereto) for the credit facility hereunder shall not have any duties or responsibilities except as a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 8.2. Advances and Payments.

(a) On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by it in accordance with this Agreement. Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and requests the Administrative Agent to advance for its account, pursuant to the terms hereof, the amount of the Loan to be made by it, unless with respect to any Lender, such Lender has theretofore specifically notified the Administrative Agent that such Lender does not intend to fund that particular Loan. Each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. If any such reimbursement is not made in immediately available funds on the same day on which the Administrative Agent shall have made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender in accordance with this Section 8.2, such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of obtaining overnight funds in the New York Federal Funds Market. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such reimbursement is not made by the second Business Day following the day on which the Administrative Agent shall have made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender, or such Lender has indicated that it does not intend to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall immediately pay such unreimbursed advance amount (plus any accrued, but unpaid interest at the rate applicable to ABR Loans) to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement the application of which is not otherwise provided for shall be applied, in accordance with each of the Lenders’ pro rata interest therein where applicable, first, to pay amounts payable to the Administrative Agent solely in its capacity as such, second, to pay accrued but unpaid Facility Fees, third, to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans, fourth, to pay the principal balance outstanding on the Loans, and fifth to pay other amount payable to the Leaders. All amounts to be paid to any of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to the Lenders, promptly after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in such Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, or as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

SECTION 8.3. Sharing of Setoffs.

Each of the Lenders agrees that if it shall, through the operation of Section 2.21 hereof or the exercise of a right of bank’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of any of the other Lenders (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans of such other Lenders, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each of the Lenders’ Loans and its participation in Loans of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro rata.

SECTION 8.4. Notice to the Lenders.

Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of any communication calling for an action on the part of the Lenders, or upon notice to the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent will in turn immediately inform the other Lenders in writing (which shall include electronic communications, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Lender) of the nature of such communication or of the Event of Default, as the case may be.

SECTION 8.5. Liability of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of the Lenders, may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through its officers, agents, or employees and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable to the Lenders or any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, or be responsible to the Lenders or to any of them for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment, or for any loss, unless the same shall happen through its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, and employees shall in no event be liable to the Lenders or to any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it pursuant to instructions received by it from the Required Lenders or in reliance upon the advice of counsel selected by it. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be responsible to any of the Lenders for the due execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency, or enforceability of, or for any statement, warranty, or representation in, or for the perfection of any security interest contemplated by, this Agreement or any related agreement, document or order, or for the designation or failure to designate this transaction as a “Highly Leveraged Transaction” for regulatory purposes, or shall be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Agreement or any related agreement or document.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower on account of the failure or delay in performance or breach by any of the Lenders or the Borrower of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any related agreement or document or in connection herewith or therewith.

(c) The Administrative Agent, in such capacity hereunder, shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine or correct and to have been signed or sent by a Person or Persons believed by it to be the proper Person or Persons, and it shall be entitled to rely on advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other professional advisers and experts selected by it.

SECTION 8.6. Reimbursement and Indemnification.

Each of the Lenders severally and not jointly agrees (to the extent not reimbursed or otherwise paid by the Borrower (pursuant to Section 10.4 or 10.5 hereof)) (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Bookrunners in the amount of its Aggregate Exposure Percentage (in each case determined without duplication and based on their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage as a Lender), for any expenses and fees incurred in their respective capacities as such under the Fundamental Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the administration or enforcement thereof and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Bookrunners and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents, on demand, in the amount of its Aggregate Exposure Percentage (in each case determined without duplication and based on their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage as a Lender), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in their respective capacities as such in any way relating to or arising out of the Fundamental Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under the Fundamental Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries (except such as shall result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

SECTION 8.7. Rights of Administrative Agent.

It is understood and agreed that Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as its rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which it is or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as though it were not the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such delegation shall limit or reduce in any way the Administrative Agent’s duties and obligations to the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any such sub-agent, may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors. The exculpatory provisions of Section 8.5 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.8. Independent Investigation by Lenders.

Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has decided to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans hereunder, and will continue to make such decisions, based on its own analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby, based on such documents and other information as it has deemed appropriate and on the creditworthiness of the Borrower and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not bear responsibility therefor.

SECTION 8.9. Notice of Transfer.

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat any Lender which is a party to this Agreement as the owners of such Lender’s respective portions of the Loans for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by any such Lender shall have been received by the Administrative Agent and become effective pursuant to Section 10.3.

SECTION 8.10. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor shall (i) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be approved in writing by the Borrower and (ii) be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and approved by the Borrower, if applicable) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the prior sentence; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender; provided further that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Fundamental Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Fundamental Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Fundamental Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Fundamental Documents, the provisions of this Section 8, Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Fundamental Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (c).

(c) Notices and other communication to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e‑mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

All warranties, representations and covenants made by the Borrower herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall survive the making of the Loans herein contemplated regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or on their behalf and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due or to become due hereunder is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not been terminated. All statements in any such certificate or other instrument shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder.

SECTION 10.3. Successors and Assigns; Syndications; Loan Sales; Participations.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party (provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders), and all covenants, promises and agreements by, or on behalf of, the Borrower which are contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lenders.

(b) Each of the Lenders may assign to an Eligible Assignee all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (1) each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of the Loans and the Revolving Commitment which are the subject of such assignment, (2) the amount of the Revolving Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Lender) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining portion of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement) unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (3) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (4) no Lender shall assign or sell participations of all or a portion of its interest in a Loan to any Person who is (A) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation; or (B) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, and from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be not earlier than five Business Days (or such shorter period approved by the Administrative Agent) after the date of acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 10.3, each Lender may at any time make an assignment of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) any Affiliate of such Lender or (ii) any other Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower provided that it meets the registration requirements in Section 10.3(b)(4).

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Fundamental Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such Lender assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Fundamental Documents; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) (or if none of such financial statements shall have then been delivered, then copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.4 hereof) and such other documents and information as

it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Fundamental Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and will perform in accordance with its terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address at which notices are to be given to it pursuant to Section 10.1, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Commitments of, and the principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee and the processing and recordation fee, the Administrative Agent (subject to the right, if any, of the Borrower to require its consent thereto) shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower.

(g) Each of the Lenders may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to an Eligible Assignee (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) any such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Participant shall not be granted any voting rights under this Agreement, except with respect to matters requiring the consent of each of the Lenders hereunder, (iii) any such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.19 and 2.23 hereof (and subject to the limitations and obligations thereof) but a Participant shall not be entitled to receive pursuant to such provisions an amount larger than its share of the amount to which the Lender granting such participation would have been entitled to receive; provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.23 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.23(e) as though it were a Lender, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register in 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 (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(h) The Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.3, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant, any information, including confidential information, relating to the Borrower furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant agrees in writing to be bound by either the confidentiality provisions of Section 10.15 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 10.15.

(i) Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make the Loans hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that, subject to preceding clauses (a) through (h), the disposition of the Indebtedness held by that Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

(j) Any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge, or otherwise grant a security interest in, all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement, including any such pledge or grant to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and, with respect to any Lender which is a fund, to the fund’s trustee in support of its obligations to such trustee, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrower shall, upon receipt of a written request from any Lender, issue a Note to facilitate such transactions.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.8, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan or fund any other obligation required to be funded by it hereunder, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan or fund such obligation pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall satisfy the obligation of the Granting Lenders to make Loans to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the related Granting Lender makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.3 any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(l) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates shall not be entitled to (i) vote as a Lender under any matter related to this Agreement or the other Fundamental Documents except, to the extent applicable, for matters described in clauses (i)-(iii) of Section 10.9(a) requiring the consent of each Lender affected thereby or (ii) in their capacities as Lender, attend Lender meetings or conference calls or receive information distributed to Lenders.

SECTION 10.4. Expenses.

Whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Bookrunners in connection with the syndication, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents (and any actual or proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the other Fundamental Documents), the making of the Loans, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent, as well as all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Lenders in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or any other Fundamental Document, and with respect to any action which may be instituted by any Person against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Lender in respect of the foregoing, or as a result of any transaction, action or nonaction arising from the foregoing, including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for the Lenders, unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest among such Persons, and in such case, not more than two separate firms, in connection with any one such action or any separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any settlement or any proceeding effected without the Borrower’s written consent. Such payments shall be made on the Closing Date and thereafter on demand. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans.

SECTION 10.5. Indemnity.

Further, by the execution hereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Bookrunners and the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, Affiliates and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel), losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) in any way relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or the use or proposed use of the proceeds, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, but excluding therefrom all expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification or any of its Related Parties as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, however, the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such Indemnified Parties (unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest among such Indemnified Parties, and in such case, not more than two separate firms) in connection with any one such action or any separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Borrower’s written consent, and provided further, however, that this Section 10.5 shall not be construed to expand the scope of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower specified in Section 10.4. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or

payment of the Loans. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with its activities relating to this Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents.

SECTION 10.6. CHOICE OF LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES HAVE BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE AND, IN THE CASE OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO INTEREST RATES, ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

SECTION 10.7. No Waiver.

No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.8. Extension of Payment Dates.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1 or 8 hereof, should any payment of principal, interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.

SECTION 10.9. Amendments, etc.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including in Sections 2.14 and 2.29), no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower herefrom or therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (i) increase or extend the expiration date of the Revolving Commitment of a Lender, (ii) alter the stated maturity or principal amount of any installment of any Loan or decrease the rate of interest payable thereon or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or decrease the rate at which the Facility Fees or other fees accrue, or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, (iii) waive a default under Section 7(b) hereof with respect to a scheduled principal installment of any Loan or (iv) amend Section 2.20, Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.3, in each case, in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; and provided, further that, except to the extent reasonably necessary to give effect to Section 2.14 and 2.29, no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of all of the Lenders (x) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders or (y) amend this Section 10.9 or the definition of Required Lenders. No such amendment or modification may adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder without its prior written consent. No notice to or demand on the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by any holder of a Note shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note, whether or not a Note is so marked. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or

disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Fundamental Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Fundamental Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within three Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

If any Lender refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that is approved by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 10.9 (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), if any Lender makes a claim for payment under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or under any other circumstances set forth herein expressly providing that the Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent and subject to Section 2.19, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Revolving Commitment (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section 10.3 to one or more Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrower upon receipt of accrued fees and interest and all other amounts due and owing to it.

SECTION 10.18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Fundamental Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Agents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Agents, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Fundamental Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each other Agent has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or other Agent has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Fundamental Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Agents and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or other Agent has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Agents with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 10.19. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 10.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Fundamental Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Fundamental Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that:

(v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loans or this Agreement.

FORM OF
OPINION OF XXXXXXXX & XXXXX LLP

November 21, 2017

To the Agents
and each of the Lenders under the
Credit Agreement (referred to below)
on the date hereof (the “Lenders”):

Re:

Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among WYNDHAM WORLDWIDE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as syndication agent (the “Syndication Agent”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”; together with the Syndication Agent, the “Agents”) for the Lenders (such credit agreement herein referred to as the “Credit Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as counsel to and at the request of the Borrower in respect of the Credit Agreement.

The opinions expressed herein are being provided pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement (with references herein to the Credit Agreement and each document defined therein meaning the Credit Agreement and each such document as executed and delivered on the date hereof). The Lenders and the Agents are sometimes referred to in this opinion letter as “you”.

In connection with the preparation of this letter, we have, among other things, reviewed executed counterparts of the Credit Agreement. For purposes hereof, the Credit Agreement (in the form reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion letter) is sometimes called the “Operative Document.” The term “Organizational Documents” whenever used in the letter means the certificate of incorporation of the Borrower, and the by-laws of the Borrower, as in effect on the date hereof.

Subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exclusions and other limitations which are identified in this opinion letter, we advise you, and with respect to each legal issue addressed in this opinion letter, it is our opinion, that:


1.	The Borrower is a corporation existing and in good standing under the General Corporation Law Of The State Of Delaware (“DGCL”). For purposes of this opinion, we have relied exclusively upon certificates issued by a governmental authority in the relevant jurisdiction, and such opinions are not intended to provide any conclusion or assurance beyond that conveyed by those certificates.


2.	The Borrower has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Operative Document.


3.	The Borrower has taken the corporate action necessary to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Document.


4.	The Operative Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.


5.	The Operative Document is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and is enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Operative Document, and the performance by the Borrower of the Operative Document, will not (i) constitute a violation of the Organizational Documents of the Borrower or (ii) constitute a violation of any applicable provision of existing State of New York law or United States federal statutory law or published governmental regulation applicable to the Borrower, in each case to the extent covered by this opinion letter, or of any applicable provision of the DGCL.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any United States federal or New York governmental authority or body or any Delaware governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the DGCL is required in order for the Borrower to obtain the right to execute and deliver, or perform its obligations under the Operative Document, except for (i) those obtained or made prior to the date hereof, (ii) consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings required in connection with the ordinary course of conduct by the Borrower of its business and ownership or operation by the Borrower of its assets in the ordinary course of business (as to which we express no opinion), (iv) those that may be required under federal securities laws and regulations or state “blue sky” laws and regulations (as to which we express no opinion) or any other laws, regulations or governmental requirements which are excluded from the coverage of this opinion letter and (v) consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings that may be required by any banking, insurance or other regulatory statutes to which you may be subject (as to which we express no opinion).


8.	The Borrower is not an “investment company” required to be registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder.


9.	Assuming application of the proceeds of the Loans as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and, for purposes of Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, no Lender or Agent is subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower and

the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

With your consent, we have assumed for purposes of this letter and the opinions herein:

(a) that each document we have reviewed for purposes of this letter is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, and all signatures on each such document are genuine, and that all natural persons who have signed any document have the legal capacity to do so;

(b) that the Operative Document and every other agreement we have examined for purposes of this letter has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each party to that document, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its respective terms and that each such party has satisfied all legal requirements that are applicable to such party to the extent necessary to entitle such party to enforce such agreement and that each party to the Operative Document is in good standing and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (except that we make no such assumption in this paragraph (b) with respect to the Borrower);

(c) there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral (other than the Operative Document), 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 Operative Document; and

(d) that the status of the Operative Document as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent we have opined as to such matters with respect to the Borrower herein.

In preparing this letter, we have relied without any independent verification upon: (i) information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities; (ii) factual information represented to be true in the Operative Document; (iii) factual information provided to us in a support certificate signed by the Borrower; and (iv) factual information we have obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reasonable; and we have examined the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such Organizational Documents and other corporate records of the Borrower as we deem necessary for or relevant to our opinions. We have assumed without investigation that the information upon which we have relied is accurate and does not omit disclosures necessary to prevent such information from being misleading.

The terms “knowledge,” “actual knowledge” and “aware” whenever used in this letter with respect to our firm mean conscious awareness at the time this letter is delivered on the date it bears by the lawyers with Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP at that time who spent substantial time representing the Borrower in connection with the Operative Document (herein called our “Designated Transaction Lawyers”).

Each opinion (an “enforceability opinion”) in this letter that any particular contract is a valid and binding obligation, is enforceable in accordance with its terms is subject to: (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and judicially developed doctrines in this area such as substantive consolidation and equitable subordination; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and (iv) other commonly recognized statutory and judicial constraints on enforceability including statutes of limitations. “General principles of equity” include but are not limited to: principles limiting the availability of specific performance and injunctive relief; principles which limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; principles requiring reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing in the performance and enforcement of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement; principles which may permit a party to cure a material failure to perform its obligations; and principles affording equitable defenses such as waiver, laches and estoppel.

Each enforceability opinion is also subject to the qualification that certain provisions of the Operative Document may not be enforceable in whole or in part, although the inclusion of such provisions does not render the Operative Document invalid, and the Operative Document and the laws of the State of New York contain adequate remedial provisions for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby.

Each enforceability opinion is further subject to the effect of rules of law that may render guaranties or other similar instruments or agreements unenforceable under circumstances where your actions, failures to act or waivers, amendments or replacement of the Operative Document (i) so radically change the essential nature of the terms and conditions of the guaranteed obligations and the related transactions that, in effect, a new relationship has arisen between you and the Borrower which is substantially and materially different from that presently contemplated by the Operative Document, (ii) release the primary obligor, or (iii) impair the guarantor’s recourse against the primary obligor.

We also express no opinion regarding the enforceability of any so-called “fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer savings clauses” and any similar provisions in the Operative Document, to the extent such provisions purport to limit the amount of the obligations of any party or the right to contribution of any other party with respect to such obligations.

We render no opinion with regard to usury or other laws limiting or regulating the maximum amount of interest that may be charged, collected, received or contracted for other than the internal laws of the State of New York, and without limiting the foregoing, we expressly disclaim any opinion as to the usury or other such laws of any other jurisdiction (including laws of other states made applicable through principles of Federal preemption or otherwise) which may be applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Document.

Nothing contained in this letter covers or otherwise addresses any of the following types of provisions which may be contained in the Operative Document:

(i) provisions mandating contribution towards judgments or settlements among various parties;

(ii) waivers of benefits and rights to the extent they cannot be waived under applicable law;

(iii) provisions providing for penalties, liquidated damages, acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value, late charges, prepayment charges, or increased interest rates upon default;

(iv) provisions which might require indemnification or contribution in violation of general principles of equity or public policy, including, without limitation, indemnification or contribution obligations which arise out of the failure to comply with applicable state or federal securities laws;

(v) agreements to submit to the jurisdiction of any particular court or other governmental authority (either as to personal or subject matter jurisdiction), except to the extent such submission to the courts of the State of New York is made in compliance with the statutory laws of the State of New York; provisions restricting access to courts; waiver of service of process requirements which would otherwise be applicable; waiver of the right to a jury trial and provisions otherwise purporting to affect the jurisdiction and venue of courts;

(vi) choice-of-law provisions, except to the extent such choice of law of New York law as the governing law is made in compliance with the statutory laws of the State of New York;

(vii) intentionally omitted;

(viii) provisions that authorize you to set off and apply any deposits at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by you to or for the account of the Borrower, or

(ix) requirements in the Operative Document specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in writing.

Except as expressly otherwise set forth in this letter, our advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is based exclusively on the internal laws of the State of New York or the Federal law of the United States which, in each case, in our experience is generally applicable both to general business organizations which are not engaged in regulated business activities and to transactions of the type contemplated in the Operative Document between the Borrower, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand (but without our having made any special investigation as to any other laws), except that we express no opinion or advice as to any law or legal issue (a) which might be violated by any misrepresentation or omission or a fraudulent act, or (b) to which the Borrower may be subject as a result of your legal or regulatory status, your sale or transfer of the Loans or interests therein or your involvement in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Document.

For purposes of paragraphs 1 through 4 and 6(i) our opinions are based on the DGCL (without regard to judicial interpretation thereof or rules or regulations promulgated thereunder), as published by Aspen Publishers, Inc., as supplemented through October 16, 2017, with respect to the DGCL. We note however that we are not admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware, and without limiting the forgoing we expressly disclaim any opinions regarding Delaware contract law or general Delaware law that may be incorporated expressly or by operation of law into the DGCL or into any Organizational Document entered into pursuant thereto.

None of the opinions or other advice contained in this letter considers or covers: (i) any federal or state securities (or “blue sky”) laws or regulations (other than our opinion in paragraph 8 regarding the Investment Company Act) or Federal Reserve Board margin regulations (other than our opinion in paragraph 9) or (ii) federal or state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, pension and employee benefit laws and regulations, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, federal and state environmental, land use and subdivision, tax, racketeering (e.g., RICO), health and safety (e.g., OSHA), and labor laws and regulations, federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning national and local emergency, possible judicial deference to acts of sovereign states and criminal and civil forfeiture laws, and other federal and state statutes of general application to the extent they provide for criminal prosecution (e.g., mail fraud and wire fraud statutes).

We also express no opinion regarding any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) (the “Terrorism Executive Order”) or any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive order (collectively with the Terrorism Executive Order, the “Executive Orders”), the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56, the “Patriot Act”), any sanctions and regulations promulgated under authority granted by the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1-44, as amended from time to time, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701-06, as amended from time to time, the Iraqi Sanctions Act, Publ. L. No. 101-513; United Nations Participation Act, 22 U.S.C. § 287c, as amended from time to time, the International Security and Development Cooperation Act, 22 U.S.C. § 2349 aa-9, as amended from time to time, The Cuban Democracy Act, 22 U.S.C. §§ 6001-10, as amended from time to time, The Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2332d and 2339b, as amended from time to time, and The Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, Publ. L. No. 106-120, as amended from time to time.

We express no opinion as to what law might be applied by any courts other than the courts of the State of New York to resolve any issue addressed in this letter. We advise you that issues addressed by this letter may be governed in whole or in part by other laws, but we express no opinion as to the whether any relevant difference exists between the laws upon which our opinions are based and any other laws which may actually govern.

This opinion letter speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which our Designated Transaction Lawyers did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason

of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of our opinions, or for any other reason.

You may rely upon this letter only for the purpose served by the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the second paragraph of this opinion letter in response to which it has been delivered. Without our written consent: (i) no person other than you may rely on this opinion letter for any purpose; (ii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this opinion letter by any person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such reliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, financial institutions which subsequently become Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement may rely on this opinion letter as of the time of its delivery on the date hereof as if this letter were addressed to them.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXX & XXXXX LLP
