CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 31, 2011 (this “Agreement”), is among XXXXX CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), the Banks (as defined in ARTICLE I), XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as syndication agent (the “Syndication Agent”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as documentation agent (the “Documentation Agent”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in ARTICLE I are used herein as so defined.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

In connection with the Transactions, the Borrower has requested that the Banks establish a $540,000,000 senior term loan facility (the “Facility”) in favor of the Borrower. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Facility as provided in Section 4.08. The Banks are willing to make the Facility available to the Borrower subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual provisions, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS, ETC.

Section 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in Annex A hereto (such meanings to be equally applicable to both singular and plural forms of the terms defined).

Section 1.02 Accounting Terms; GAAP. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Majority Banks request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

Section 1.03 Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement in the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, unless otherwise indicated, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding.” Subject to Section 2.08(e), whenever the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be required on a day that is not a Business Day, the date of such performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.04 References, Etc. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All references herein to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules shall, unless the context requires a different construction, be deemed to be references to the Sections of this Agreement and the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and made a part hereof. In this Agreement, unless a clear contrary intention appears, the word “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including, without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against any Person solely because that Person or its legal representative drafted such provision.

ARTICLE II.

COMMITMENTS AND TERMS OF CREDIT

Section 2.01 Commitments and Loans.

(a) Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make a loan (each a “Term Loan,” and collectively , the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Termination Date, and no Term Loan shall be made thereafter. To the extent repaid, Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. To the extent repaid, Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Banks are several and no Bank shall be responsible for any other Bank’s failure to make Loans as required.

Section 2.02 Borrowing Procedures; Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made upon request of the Borrower, by delivering an executed Borrowing Request via hand delivery, facsimile transmittal or electronic mail to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on (i) the third Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or (ii) the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of an ABR Borrowing, and upon receipt the Agent shall give each other member of the Bank Group prompt notice of such request. Each Borrowing Request shall specify therein (A) the Borrowing Date for such Borrowing, (B) the Type and Class of Loans comprising such Borrowing, (C) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (D) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”; and (E) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each Bank shall, before 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Borrowing Date, make such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Banks. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III or the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account or accounts of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i) Subject to Section 2.06(b), each Borrowing of Loans shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall consist of ABR Loans made on the same day by the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages. Each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall consist of Eurodollar Loans made on the same day by the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages;

(ii) If the Borrower shall have failed to designate the Type of Loans in a Borrowing Request, then the Loans shall be made as ABR Loans;

(iii) Eurodollar Loans may not be outstanding under more than eight separate Interest Periods at any one time (for which purpose Interest Periods shall be deemed to be separate even if they are coterminous); and

(iv) If the Borrower shall have failed to specify an Interest Period to be applicable to any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the proposed Borrowing Date that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Agent, it shall not relieve the defaulting Bank of its legal responsibility for its default.

(c) The Borrower may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, on any Business Day, upon notice by telephone to the Agent, given not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on (i) the third Business Day prior to the proposed conversion or continuation date in the case of conversion or continuation of Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (ii) the Business Day of the proposed conversion or continuation date in the case of a conversion or continuation of Loans into ABR Loans, convert all Loans of any Class comprising one or more Borrowings into Loans of the same Class of another Type comprising a single Borrowing or continue the Loans of the relevant Class comprising one or more Borrowings, and the Agent shall promptly transmit the contents of such notice to each other member of the Bank Group. Each such telephonic request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile transmittal or electronic mail to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower. Each Interest Election Request shall specify therein (A) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the Loans of the relevant Class to be converted or continued, (C) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or Eurodollar Borrowing and (D) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, after giving effect to any such Interest Election Request, the size of all Borrowings outstanding hereunder and the number of different Types of Loans outstanding hereunder shall conform to the requirements of Section 2.02(a). In the event of any conversion of Eurodollar Loans on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Banks in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.11. If the Borrower shall fail to give a timely Interest Election Request conforming to the requirements of this Agreement with respect to any Eurodollar Loans prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Eurodollar Loans shall, automatically on the last day of such Interest Period, be converted into ABR Loans. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Majority Banks, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(d) Each Bank may, at its option, make and maintain any Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Lending Offices, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan to or for the account of such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.03 The Notes. If requested by any Bank, the Loans of any Class made by such Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note issued to such Bank by the Borrower (a) dated the Closing Date (or such other date as may be specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment or Section 9.02), (b) payable to the order of such Bank in a principal amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment and (c) otherwise duly completed, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.04. Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice a record evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time. The Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.02 in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class hereof and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loan, the 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 Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Bank and each Bank’s share hereof. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded herein, provided that the failure of any Bank or the Agent to maintain such records or any error herein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the Register and the records of each Bank, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.04 Termination and Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent prior to the Closing Date, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the respective Term Loan Commitments of the Banks, provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that, in the case of a termination of all of the Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower may provide that such notice is conditioned on the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein. Any reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Termination Date unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms in this Agreement. The right to terminate or reduce any Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be governed by, and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

Section 2.05 Repayment of Loans.

Section 2.06 Interest Accrual, Payments, Etc.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.13, the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by each Bank from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, on the dates and at the rates per annum specified as follows:

(i) if such Loan is an ABR Loan, a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and unpaid accrued interest on each such Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the date such ABR Loan shall be paid in full;

(ii) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Loan to the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate and (B) the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect as of the first day of such Interest Period, and unpaid accrued interest on each such Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the date such Eurodollar Loan shall be paid in full and, in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion; or

(iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(b), Section 7.01(j) or Section 7.01(k), or from and after the election of the Majority Banks (or the Agent at the direction of the Majority Banks) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and, to the greatest extent permitted by law, all interest accrued on the Loans and all other accrued and outstanding fees and other amounts hereunder, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans plus 2% (or, in the case of interest, fees and other amounts for which no rate is provided hereunder, at the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%), not to exceed, in either case, the Highest Lawful Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable on demand. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue after the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event of the Borrower.

(b) (a) The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and each other member of the Bank Group of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent hereunder for each Borrowing. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(ii) If the Majority Banks shall, at least one Business Day before the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, notify the Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Loans for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Loans for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and each other member of the Bank Group that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(iii) If the Agent is unable to determine the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Eurodollar Rate in accordance with the definitions thereof, as applicable, for any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, (A) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and each other member of the Bank Group that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Borrowing, (B) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (C) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (D) the obligation of the Banks to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and each other member of the Bank Group that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) As used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, “Applicable Margin” means, as to Term Loans consisting of a single Borrowing, a rate per annum determined pursuant to the table set forth below by reference to the Borrower’s rating of its senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt by S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x (individually, a “Rating” and collectively, the “Ratings”) and the Type of Term Loans comprising such Borrowing. If (i) the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating shall differ by one level, the higher Rating shall apply; (ii) the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating differ by more than one level and the Fitch Rating is equal to the higher of the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating, the higher Rating shall apply; (iii) the Xxxxx’x Rating, the S&P Rating and the Fitch Rating each differ by one or more levels, and the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating differ by more than one level, the Rating which is the middle Rating shall apply; (iv) the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating differ by more than one level, and the Fitch Rating is equal to the lower of the Xxxxx’x and S&P Rating, the lower Rating shall apply; (v) the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating differ by more than one level, and the Borrower does not have a Fitch Rating, the Rating which is one level below the higher of the Xxxxx’x Rating or the S&P Rating shall apply; and (vi) the Xxxxx’x Rating and the S&P Rating are the same, that Rating shall apply. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Xxxxx’x, Fitch or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Banks shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Pricing Level	Rating	Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans	Applicable Margin for ABR Loans
I	BBB+/Baa1 and above	1.25%	0.25%
II	BBB/Baa2	1.50%	0.50%
III	BBB-/Baa3	1.75%	0.75%
IV	BB+/Ba1	2.00%	1.00%
V	BB/Ba2 and below	2.25%	1.25%

The “Applicable Margin” for the Incremental Term Loans will be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment.

Section 2.07 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing selected by the Borrower in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with the terms set forth in this paragraph (a). Each prepayment of Loans comprising the designated Borrowing being prepaid pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be applied to the outstanding principal installments of such Loans as directed by the Borrower. The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of prepayment, and (ii) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) three Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing or a portion thereof to be repaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02(a)(i).

(b) Each prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be accompanied by a prepayment of accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. In the event of any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Banks in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.11. Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, all mandatory prepayments of the Loans shall first be applied to ABR Borrowings, and second to such Eurodollar Borrowings as the Agent may select.

(c) Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Banks holding the Loans of the relevant Class being prepaid.

Section 2.08 Payments and Computations.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, the Commitment Fee and other amounts payable to the Banks holding Loans or Commitments of a certain Class under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars to the Agent at its address specified in Section 9.03 for the account of each such Bank, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due. Upon receipt of such payments, the Agent will promptly cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or the Commitment Fee ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12 or Section 2.13) to such Banks for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank to such Bank for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event the Agent receives any such payment in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day, but fails to distribute to any Bank entitled thereto like funds relating to such payment by the close of business on such Business Day, then the Agent shall pay such Bank interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day from the date such amount is received by the Agent until the date distributed to such Bank.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks under the Loan Documents that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to such Bank but excluding the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c) All payments by the Borrower of the fees payable to the Agent pursuant to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter shall be made in Dollars directly to the Agent at its address specified in Section 9.03 in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due.

(d) All computations of interest based on the Prime Rate when used to determine the Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Alternate Base Rate (other than the Alternate Base Rate computed based on the Prime Rate), the Eurodollar Rate, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate as well as the Commitment Fee, shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (unless use of a 360 day year would cause the interest contracted for, charged or received hereunder to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case such computations shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or commitment fees are payable.

(e) Whenever any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or the Commitment Fee, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(f) If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, counterclaim or otherwise) on account of the Loans of any Class made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 2.12, or Section 2.13) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans of such Class obtained by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith purchase (for cash at face value) from the other such Banks such participations in the Loans made by such other Banks as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in payments to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.08(f) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law and this Agreement, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff and counterclaim) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(g) If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(b), Section 2.08(b), or Section 8.05 then the Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Bank and for the benefit of the Agent to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and applicable to, any future funding obligations of such Bank under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.09 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each Bank, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to 0.25% on the average unused portion of the Term Loan Commitment of such Bank as in effect from time to time for the period from and including July 1, 2011 to, but excluding, the Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the Termination Date. In no event shall any Bank be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which such Bank is a Defaulting Bank.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.13, the Borrower shall pay the Agent and the Lead Arrangers the underwriting, administrative and other fees specified in the Fee Letters.

Section 2.10 Setoff, Counterclaims and Taxes.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, expenses, reimbursements, compensation, Commitment Fees, underwriting fees or administration fees and any other amount from time to time due under any Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each member of the Bank Group, (A) taxes imposed on its income (or a taxable base in the nature of net income, or, in lieu of taxes so imposed or measured, on overall gross receipts and capital), and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such member of the Bank Group is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (B) branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any jurisdiction described in the preceding clause (A), and (C) United States federal taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA on any “withholding payment” (as defined under FATCA) made to such Person and, (ii) in the case of each Bank, (A) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (B) branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any jurisdiction described in the preceding clause (A), and (C) United States federal taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA on any “withholding payment” (as defined under FATCA) made to such Person (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any member of the Bank Group, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) such member of the Bank Group receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any increased amount on account of Taxes to the extent that (x) any such Bank breached its representation and warranty provided in Section 2.10(f) or (y) any such Bank has failed to comply with Section 2.10(f) or shall not have furnished the Borrower with such forms, or shall not have taken such other action, as reasonably may be available to it under applicable tax laws and any applicable tax treaty to obtain an exemption from, or reduction of, such Taxes.

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

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each member of the Bank Group for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by such member of the Bank Group (whether paid on its own behalf or on behalf of any other member of the Bank Group) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such member of the Bank Group makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a member of the Bank Group, or by the Agent on behalf of any such Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no member of the Bank Group shall be indemnified for any Taxes or Other Taxes hereunder unless the member of the Bank Group, as the case may be, shall make written demand on the Borrower for such reimbursement no later than six (6) months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand on the member of the Bank Group, as the case may be, for payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes, and (ii) the date on which the member of the Bank Group, as the case may be, has made payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.03, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of any return required by applicable law or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts owing under the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.10 are in all respects subject to Section 9.13 hereof.

(f) Each Bank represents and warrants to the Agent and the Borrower that such Bank is either (i) a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state thereof or the District of Columbia, or (ii) entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding tax imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (x) under an applicable provision of a tax convention or treaty to which the United States is a party or (y) because it is acting through a branch, agency or office in the United States and any payment to be received by it hereunder is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States. Upon becoming a party to this Agreement (whether by assignment or as an original signatory hereto), and in any event, from time to time upon the request of the Agent or the Borrower, each Bank which is not a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower such forms, certificates or other instruments as may be required by the Agent in order to establish that such Bank is entitled to complete exemption from United States withholding taxes imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made to such Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Bank also agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such other supplemental forms as may at any time be required as a result of the passage of time or changes in applicable law or regulation in order to confirm or maintain in effect its entitlement to exemption from United States withholding tax on any payments hereunder; provided, that the circumstances of the Bank at the relevant time and applicable laws permit it to do so. If a Bank determines, as a result of any change in either (1) applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application thereof or (2) its circumstances, that it is unable to submit any form or certificate that it is obligated to submit pursuant to this Section 2.10(f), or that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of such fact. If a Bank is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, and the Borrower and the Agent have not received forms, certificates or other instruments indicating to their satisfaction that all payments to be made to such Bank hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax or the Agent otherwise has reason to believe that such Bank is subject to U.S. withholding tax, the Borrower shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing contained in this Section 2.10(f), if a Bank would be subject to United States federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA on payments under any Loan Document and such Bank fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall provide such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any such payments. Each Bank shall indemnify and hold the Borrower and the Agent harmless from any United States taxes, penalties, interest and other expenses, costs and losses incurred or payable by them as a result of either (A) such Bank’s failure to submit any form or certificate that it is required to provide pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) or (B) reliance by the Borrower or the Agent on any such form or certificate which such Bank has provided to them pursuant to this Section 2.10(f).

(g) Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of the applicable Lending Office if such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

Section 2.11 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall indemnify each member of the Bank Group against any loss or reasonable expense (including, but not limited to, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or reemploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain a Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan) which such Person may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert or continue hereunder after a Borrowing Request or an Interest Election Request has been given, (c) any payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan required or permitted by any other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, payments made due to the acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01, or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (d) any default in the payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, by notice of prepayment or otherwise), (e) the occurrence of an Event of Default or (f) the Borrower’s election to replace an Affected Bank pursuant to Section 2.14(b). Such loss or reasonable expense shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, as determined by each Bank of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or continued or not borrowed, converted or continued (based on the interest rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation or failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue) over (ii) the amount of interest (as estimated by such Bank) that would be realized by such Bank in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or continued or not borrowed, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of each member of the Bank Group setting forth any amount or amounts which such Person is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) and shall be conclusive, if made in good faith, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each such Person the amount shown as due on any certificate within 30 days after its receipt of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Bank be permitted to receive any compensation hereunder constituting interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligations of the Borrower hereunder, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment or assignment of any of the Notes.

Section 2.12 Change in Law.

(a) If at any time any Bank determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its foreign branch or branches to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan (any of the foregoing determinations being a “Eurodollar Event”), then, such Bank, at its option, may: (i) declare that Eurodollar Rate Loans will no longer be made or maintained by such Bank, whereupon the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Loans for any Borrowing shall be suspended until such Bank shall notify the Agent that the circumstances causing such Eurodollar Event no longer exist; (ii) with respect to any Eurodollar Loans of such Bank then outstanding, require that all such Eurodollar Loans be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted into ABR Loans on the effective date of notice of such Eurodollar Event and all payments or prepayments of principal that would have otherwise been applied to repay such converted Eurodollar Loans shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans resulting from such conversion; and/or (iii) with respect to any Eurodollar Loans requested of such Bank but not yet made as or converted into such, require that such Eurodollar Loans be made as or converted into, as applicable, ABR Loans.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Eurodollar Event, and at any time thereafter so long as such Eurodollar Event shall continue, such Bank may exercise its aforesaid option by giving written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower, such notice to be effective upon receipt thereof by the Borrower. Any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan which is required under this Section 2.12 shall be made, together with accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement with respect to such converted Loan (including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof), on the date stated in the notice to the Borrower referred to above.

Section 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Bank (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);

(ii) subject any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank in respect thereof (other than any Taxes or taxes for which the Borrower would not be required to gross-up pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); or

(iii) impose on any Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or any Lending Office of such Bank or such Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Bank or the Loans made by such Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or such Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity position), then the Borrower shall from time to time, subject to the provisions of Section 9.13, pay to such Bank upon demand additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or such corporation in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such reduction in the rate of return on such Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s holding company to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s Commitment or the funding of its Loans hereunder and similar amounts are being charged generally to other borrowers with similar commitments from such Bank.

(c) Each Bank will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 as promptly as practicable after such Bank obtains knowledge of the occurrence of such event. In no event will the Borrower be obligated to compensate any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any amounts described in paragraphs (a) or (b) above that accrued more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date the notice described in the preceding sentence is given by the party requesting such compensation, but the foregoing shall in no way limit the right of such Bank to request compensation for amounts accrued during such one hundred eighty (180) day period or any future period. A certificate of such Bank setting forth in reasonable detail (i) such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Bank (or participating banks or other entities pursuant to Section 9.02) as specified above and (ii) the calculation of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the same. The failure of any Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Bank or any other Bank, to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital. The protection of this Section 2.13 shall be available to the Banks regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of law, regulation or condition which shall have been imposed.

Section 2.14 Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Banks.

(a) If any Bank requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.13, or declares a Eurodollar Event pursuant to Section 2.12, or the Borrower is required to deduct United States withholding taxes pursuant to Section 2.10(f) from amounts payable to any Bank under the Loan Documents, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.10(f), as the case may be, or eliminate the existence of a Eurodollar Event under Section 2.12 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Bank requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.13, or declares a Eurodollar Event pursuant to Section 2.12, or the Borrower is required to deduct United States withholding taxes pursuant to Section 2.10(f) from amounts payable to any Bank under the Loan Documents, or if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank (any such request, declaration, withholding or event is herein called a “Substitution Event” and any such Bank is herein called an “Affected Bank”), the Borrower may give notice to such Affected Bank (with a copy to the Agent) that it wishes to seek one or more Eligible Assignees (which may be one or more of the other Banks) to assume the Commitment of such Affected Bank and to purchase the Loans of such Affected Bank and the other interests of such Affected Bank in the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Affected Interests”). Each Affected Bank agrees to sell all of its Affected Interests pursuant to Section 9.02 to any such Eligible Assignee for an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Loans of such Affected Bank and all commitment fees, underwriting fees and other fees (other than fees payable to such Affected Bank pursuant to Section 2.11 which shall be paid by the Borrower) and amounts due such Affected Bank under the Loan Documents, calculated, in each case, to the date such Affected Interests are purchased, whereupon such Affected Bank shall have no further Commitment or other obligation to the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not replace any Affected Bank if (a) the Bank or Banks involved in such Substitution Event have aggregate Commitment Percentages in excess of thirty-five percent (35%), except in the event such Bank is or such Banks are Defaulting Banks, or (b) the Borrower does not seek to replace each Bank involved in such Substitution Event. A Bank shall not be required to sell its Affected Interests pursuant to this paragraph if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such sale cease to apply.

Section 2.15 Incremental Term Loans.

(a) At any time after the earlier of (i) 90 days after the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Commitment Parties Fee Letter), the Borrower may request an additional term loan facility, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15(b) and Section 2.15(c) and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.15(d). Each loan made under any such additional facility is referred to herein as an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, as the “Incremental Term Loans.” All Incremental Term Loans made on the same day shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Term Loans. The aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans made under such additional term loan facility shall not exceed $200,000,000 (without regard to any repayment of such Incremental Term Loans). The initial aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans of the same Series shall not be less than $50,000,000. The Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall:

(i) unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, upon the Incremental Term Loan Effective Date relating to such Series of Incremental Term Loans, be deemed to be a Loan as defined herein for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(ii) have such pricing as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Banks providing such Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.15(a), which pricing shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

(iii) have an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date reasonably acceptable to the Agent, but which, in any event, will not be prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date;

(iv) have an amortization schedule reasonably acceptable to the Agent, but which, in any event, will not have a weighted average life to maturity shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans outstanding on the Incremental Term Loan Effective Date (such determinations of weighted average life to maturity to be made by the Agent); and

(v) except as specifically provided in clauses (ii) through (iv) above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Term Loans, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower; provided that such other terms and conditions, taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable to the Banks under such Incremental Term Loans than such other terms and conditions, taken as a whole, under the Term Loans.

(b) If the Borrower desires to incur a Series of Incremental Term Loans, any Bank may (but is not obligated to) fund all or any portion of the requested Series of Incremental Term Loans. If the Banks are not willing to provide all of the Series of Incremental Term Loans requested on the proposed terms, the Borrower may request one or more Eligible Assignees to become a Bank hereunder and to fund all or any portion of the requested Series of Incremental Term Loans; provided, that Incremental Term Loans to be made by any Eligible Assignee shall be in an aggregate principal amount reasonably acceptable to the Agent. If one or more Banks or Eligible Assignees agree to provide the requested Series of Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower shall give written notice to the Agent specifying the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series to be made, the amount of the Incremental Term Loan of such Series to be made by each Bank or Eligible Assignee, the proposed Incremental Term Loan Effective Date of such Series of Incremental Term Loans, and the interest rates and fees payable with respect to such Series of Incremental Term Loans, which terms shall be included in an Incremental Term Loan Amendment (provided that such terms shall be in accordance with this Section 2.15).

(c) Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to (x) an amendment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, each Bank or Eligible Assignee agreeing to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and no other Bank shall be required to execute any such amendment), and the Agent, and (y) any amendments to the other Loan Documents (executed by the Borrower and the Agent only) as the Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such purpose. The Incremental Term Loan Commitment being requested by the Borrower shall become effective under this Agreement on the effective date referenced in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Amendment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Effective Date”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.15 to the contrary, the Borrower may not incur any Series of Incremental Term Loans unless the following conditions precedent are satisfied on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Effective Date:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date (after giving effect to the incurrence of the applicable Series of Incremental Term Loans);

(ii) the Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that, immediately prior to and after giving effect to the incurrence of the applicable Series of Incremental Term Loans (A) each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants contained in Section 6.01 (such calculations to be attached to the certificate) and (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or be caused by the incurrence of the applicable Series of Incremental Term Loans; and

(iii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered, if requested by the Agent, a customary legal opinion and a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of the Borrower authorizing such Incremental Term Loans.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Banks.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, the following provisions shall apply so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(i) Such Defaulting Bank’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 Majority Banks and in Section 9.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ARTICLE VII or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of the Commitment Fee that would have accrued to any Defaulting Bank were such Bank not a Defaulting Bank, on a pro rata basis, to the Bank(s) funding the Defaulting Bank’s Commitment, third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Bank to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against that Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Bank 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 such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in ARTICLE III or Section 2.15(d) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Bank. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the 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 Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of the outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

Each of the Borrower and each of its Material Subsidiaries is an organization duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and is duly qualified or licensed to transact business as a foreign organization and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its operations or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification or licensing, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Schedule 4.01 sets forth a complete list (including the Borrower’s percentage equity interest therein) as of the Effective Date of (a) all Consolidated Subsidiaries (Part A), and (b) all Excluded Affiliates (Part B).

Each of the Borrower and each of its Material Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business and own, operate and encumber its property. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents executed by, or to be executed by, such Person. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and shareholder (or equivalent) action. Each of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Person, is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and general principles of equity.

Section 4.03 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of each Loan Document to which such Person is a party and the consummation of each of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (a) constitute a violation of any Requirement of Law or a breach of any provision contained in the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws of such Person, or any shareholder agreement pertaining to such Person, or contained in any material agreement, instrument or document to which it is now a party or by which it or its properties is bound, except for such violations or breaches that will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (b) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.04 No Consent. No authorization, consent, approval, license, or exemption of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, was, is or will be necessary for the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of each of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that the failure to obtain, file or make will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.05 No Defaults or Violations of Law. No Default has occurred and is continuing. No default (or event or circumstance occurred which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default) has occurred and is continuing with respect to any note, indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease, deed or other agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or their properties is bound, except for such defaults that will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable Requirement of Law except for such violations that will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.06 Financial Position.

(a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, audited by KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, copies of which have been furnished to the Bank Group, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations and the consolidated cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal period ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP.

(c) The Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects adjustments made on a pro forma basis to give effect to the consummation of the Transactions, all as if such events had occurred on the date as of which the Pro Forma Balance Sheet is prepared. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on stated assumptions made in good faith and having a reasonable basis set forth therein.

(d) The Borrower has prepared, and has heretofore furnished to the Agent a copy of, the Projections. In the good faith opinion of management of the Borrower, the assumptions used in the preparation of the Projections were fair, complete and reasonable when made.

Following the application of the proceeds of each Loan, not more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower, or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which are subject to any arrangement with any member of the Bank Group (herein or otherwise) whereby the right or ability of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of such assets is in any way restricted, will be such margin stock.

Section 4.09 Governmental Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any other Requirement of Law such that the ability of any such Person to incur indebtedness is limited or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any document executed in connection therewith is impaired.

Section 4.10 Disclosure. The schedules, documents, exhibits, reports, certificates and other written statements and information furnished to the Bank Group by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, when taken as a whole, do not contain any material misstatement of fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringement that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.14 Pari Passu Ranking. The obligations of the Borrower to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents will rank at least pari passu as to payment with all other Debt of the Borrower now existing or hereafter incurred.

The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries possess all environmental, health and safety licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations, approvals and similar rights necessary under law or otherwise for such Person to conduct its operations as now being conducted, each of such licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations, approvals and similar rights is valid and subsisting, in full force and effect and enforceable by such Person, and such Person is in compliance with all terms, conditions or other provisions of such permits, authorizations, registrations, approvals and similar rights except for such noncompliance that will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notices of any violation of, noncompliance with, or remedial obligation under, Requirements of Environmental Laws, and there are no writs, injunctions, decrees, orders or judgments outstanding, or lawsuits, claims, proceedings, investigations or inquiries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, relating to the ownership, use, condition, maintenance, or operation of, or conduct of business related to, any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or other assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than those violations, instances of noncompliance, obligations, writs, injunctions, decrees, orders, judgments, lawsuits, claims, proceedings, investigations or inquiries that will not have a Material Adverse Effect on either the Borrower individually or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. There are no material obligations, undertakings or liabilities arising out of or relating to Environmental Laws to which the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries has agreed to, assumed or retained, or by which the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries is adversely affected, by contract or otherwise. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has received a written notice or claim to the effect that such Person is or may be liable to any Person as the result of a Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous Material which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.16 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.16, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no material liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known or unknown, and whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) except for (i) liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved against in the financial statements most recently delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.01, (ii) current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of such financial statements, (iii) liabilities or obligations that are not required to be included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (iv) liabilities or obligations arising under governmental approvals or contracts to which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise subject.

The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Requirement of Law dealing with such matters in any manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any of them, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.

Section 4.18 Solvency. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, are Solvent.

The Agent shall not be required to do any act hereunder or under any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the agencies hereby created, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any collateral security, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by the holders of the Notes against loss, cost, liability, and expense. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose is, in the opinion of the Agent insufficient or becomes impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and not commence or cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank severally agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

Section 8.06 Employees of the Agent, Etc. The Agent may execute any of its Agent duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any instrument, agreement or document executed, issued or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith, by or through employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any such employee, agent or attorney-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent may, and upon the written instruction of the Majority Banks shall, enforce on behalf of the Banks any claims which the Agent and/or the Banks may have against any such employee, agent or attorney-in-fact, and any recovery therefrom shall be applied for the pro rata benefit of the Banks.

Section 8.07 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the other members of the Bank Group and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with, so long as no Event of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, subject to the requirement that such retiring Agent will execute such documents and take such actions as may be necessary or desirable to cause the successor Agent to be vested with all such rights, powers, privileges and duties. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. All costs and expenses incurred by the Bank Group in connection with any amendments or other documentation required by this Section 8.07 shall be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof.

Section 8.08 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or “notice of event of default,” as applicable. If the Agent receives such a notice from the Borrower, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the other members of the Bank Group and, if such notice is received from a Bank, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the other members of the Bank Group and the Borrower. The Agent shall be entitled to take action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Default as provided in this ARTICLE VIII.

Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking action hereunder.

Section 9.02 Participation Agreements and Assignments.

(a) Subject to Section 9.02(b), each Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and the Note held by it) and the other Loan Documents by executing an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit 9.02 (an “Assignment and Acceptance”); provided, that (A) no such assignment shall be made unless such assignment and assignee have been approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default exists, the Borrower, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such approval of the Borrower and the Agent shall not be required if the assignee is a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten Business Days after having received written notice thereof, (B) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations of the assignor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no assignment shall be made unless it covers a pro rata share of all rights and obligations of such assignor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (C) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent, in no event be less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (D) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (E) with respect to an assignment by an Initial Bank prior to the Closing Date, (i) without the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such Initial Bank shall not be relieved or novated from its initial Commitment under the Debt Commitment Letter until the funding of the Term Loans on the Closing Date and (ii) unless the Borrower agrees in writing, such Initial Bank shall retain exclusive control until the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date to grant or approve any consents, modifications, supplements or amendments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (F) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $5,000. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents and (2) the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) In the event any Bank desires to transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to any Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank, it shall give the Borrower and the Agent prior written notice of the identity of such transferee and the terms and conditions of such transfer (a “Transfer Notice”). So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, no later than ten (10) days following receipt of such Transfer Notice, designate an alternative transferee and such Bank shall thereupon be obligated to sell the interests specified in such Transfer Notice to such alternative transferee, subject to the following: (A) such transfer shall be made on the same terms and conditions outlined in such Transfer Notice, (B) such transfer shall otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (including Section 9.02(a)), and (C) such alternative transferee must be an Eligible Assignee approved by the Agent. If the Borrower shall fail to designate an alternative transferee within such ten (10) day period, such Bank shall, subject to compliance with the other terms and provisions hereof, be free to consummate the transfer described in such Transfer Notice.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Bank thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Bank 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 this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.06 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 any member of the Bank Group (including such assigning Bank) 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 confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.03 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each member of the Bank Group may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any member of the Bank Group at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit 9.02 and satisfies all other requirements set forth in this Section 9.02, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the other members of the Bank Group. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount corresponding to the Commitment assumed by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount corresponding to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form prescribed by Section 2.03 hereto.

(f) Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the participating banks or other entities shall not be considered a “Bank” for purposes of the Loan Documents, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.10 through Section 2.13 and the rights of setoff contained in Section 7.02, in each case to the same extent that the Bank from which such participating bank or other entity acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefit of such cost protection provisions and rights of setoff, (iv) the Borrower and the other members of the Bank Group shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to the amounts of any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, or the dates fixed for payments of principal or interest on the Loans), and (v) no participation may be sold to a natural person, the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(g) Anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, assign and pledge all or any portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank (and its transferees) as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.

(h) Any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.02, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received from such Bank.

(i) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment (but not including the Borrower) shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Agent or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

All covenants contained in the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.07 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or made in writing by the Borrower in connection herewith or therewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and the repayment of the Loans.

Section 9.08 Separability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph, subsection, Section or Article of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom by the parties hereto, and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been included herein.

Section 9.09 Captions. The captions in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall be given no substantive meaning or significance whatsoever in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Limitation by Law. All provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or any other Loan Document invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.13 Limitation on Interest. Each provision in this Agreement and each other Loan Document is expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or otherwise agreed to be paid, by the Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise (including any sums paid as required by any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document which is for the use, forbearance or detention of such money), exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest thereon to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and all amounts owed under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be held to be subject to reduction to the effect that such amounts so paid or agreed to be paid which are for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this Agreement or such Loan Document shall in no event exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest thereon to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if the maturity of the Notes or the obligations in respect of the other Loan Documents are accelerated for any reason, or in the event of prepayment of all or any portion of the Notes or the obligations in respect of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or in any other event, earned interest on the Loans and such other obligations of the Borrower may never exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and any unearned interest otherwise payable under the Notes or the obligations in respect of the other Loan Documents that is in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment or other such event and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Notes or, if the principal of the Notes has been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Borrower and the Banks shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts during the period of the actual term of this Agreement, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Loan Documents.
