“Administrative Agent” has the meaning specified in the introduction to this Agreement.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in the form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

“Affiliate” of any Person means (a) any Person directly or indirectly controlled by, controlling or under common control with such first Person, (b) any director or officer of

such first Person or of any Person referred to in clause (a) above and (c) if any Person in clause (a) above is an individual, any member of the immediate family (including parents, siblings, spouse and children) of such individual and any trust whose principal beneficiary is such individual or one or more members of such immediate family and any Person who is controlled by any such member or trust. For purposes of this definition, any Person that owns directly or indirectly 25% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or other governing body of a corporation or 25% or more of the partnership, member or other ownership interests of any other Person (other than as a limited partner of such other Person) will be deemed to “control” (including, with its correlative meanings, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) such corporation or other Person.

“Agent” means the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents, and the term “Agents” means all of them.

“Agreement” has the meaning specified in the introduction to this Agreement (subject, however, to Section 1.03(v) hereof).

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ¹/2 of 1%, (b) the Prime Rate in effect for such day and (c) the one month LIBOR Rate plus 1%. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.

“Applicable Base Rate Margin” means the per annum rate designation in the definition of “Applicable Margin” as the “Applicable Base Rate Margin”.

“Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin” means the per annum rate designated in the definition of “Applicable Margin” as the “Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin”.

“Applicable Margin” means

(a) at all times prior to such time as the Company has a Debt Rating designated by at least two of the Applicable Rating Agencies, the applicable rate per annum indicated in the following table next to the Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended trailing four-quarter period with respect to which the Company is required to have delivered the financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01 (as such ratio is calculated on the certificate delivered under Section 5.01(e) by the Company in connection with such financial statements):


	Leverage Ratio	Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin		Applicable Base Rate Margin

Level IV	> 4.75x		2.375%		1.375%


		-2-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

Each change in the Applicable Margin shall take effect on each date on which such financial statements and certificate are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01, commencing with the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period from the Effective Date through the date the financial statements and certificate are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Applicable Margin shall be determined at Level II, subject to the terms of subsection (b) below. In the event that any financial statement delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 is shown to be inaccurate when delivered (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, and only in such case, then the Borrower shall immediately (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) determine the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected financial statements, and (iii) immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.17. This provision is in addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Section 2.12(d) and their other respective rights under this Agreement. If the Company fails to deliver the financial statements and corresponding certificate to the Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 5.01, then effective as of the date such financial statements and corresponding certificate were required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01, the Applicable Margin shall be determined at Level IV and shall remain at such level until the date such financial statements and corresponding certificate are so delivered by the Company.

(b) at all times from and after such time as the Company has a Debt Rating designated by at least two of the Applicable Rating Agencies, the applicable per annum margin indicated in the following table next to the then applicable Debt Rating:


	Debt Rating (S&P/Fitch/Xxxxx’x)	Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin		Applicable Base Rate Margin

Level I	BBB/BBB/Baa2		1.500%		0.500%
Level II	BBB-/BBB-/Baa3		1.625%		0.625%
Level III	BB+/BB+/Ba1		1.875%		0.875%
Level IV	<BB/BB/Ba2		2.375%		1.375%

If a Debt Rating for the Company is provided by only two of the Applicable Rating Agencies, (a) if the Debt Rating of one Applicable Rating Agency is just one level higher than the Debt Rating of the other Applicable Rating Agency, then the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin or the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as applicable, for the Company will be deemed to be based on the higher of the two Debt Ratings and (b) otherwise, the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin or the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as applicable, for the Company will be deemed to be based on the Debt Rating that is one level lower than the higher of the two Debt Ratings. If a Debt Rating is provided by all three Applicable Rating Agencies, (a) if the Debt Rating of two of

If at any time a Debt Rating for the Company shall not be available from any Applicable Rating Agency, the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin or the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as applicable, for the Company will be determined based upon the Leverage Ratio in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) above. If the Debt Rating of the Company shall change (other than as a result of a change in the rating system used by any Applicable Rating Agency) such that a change in the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin or the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as applicable, for the Company, as described above, would result, such change shall effect a change in such Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin or the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as applicable, as of the day on which it is first announced by the Applicable Rating Agency, and any consequent change in the Applicable Margin shall apply 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 any of the Applicable Rating Agencies shall change prior to the date on which all Obligations hereunder have been paid and the Commitments cancelled, the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings in this definition to reflect such changed rating system, and pending such amendment, if no applicable rating level is otherwise determinable based upon the foregoing, the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin or the Applicable Base Rate Margin, as applicable, for the Company will be determined based upon the Leverage Ratio in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) above.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

		-22-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or (d) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error or conflict therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.05) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such forms payable to the order of the payee named therein.

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b) hereof.

(b) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile in the form of Exhibit 2.10 (a “Notice of Prepayment”)) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, Type and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than, and shall be an integral multiple of, the amounts shown below with respect to the applicable Type of Loan or Borrowing (or such lesser amount equal to the outstanding Borrowings):


Type of Loan/Borrowing	Integral Multiple of		Minimum Aggregate Amount
Eurodollar Borrowing	$	1,000,000	$	3,000,000
ABR Borrowing		1,000,000		1,000,000

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. If the Company fails to designate the Type of Borrowings to be prepaid, partial prepayments shall be applied first to the outstanding ABR Borrowings until all such outstanding principal of ABR Borrowings are repaid in full, and then to the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Borrowings. 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 as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11 Fees.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to each of RBSSI and RBS, for its respective account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in that letter agreement dated July 6, 2011, among the Company, RBS and RBSSI (as from time to time amended, the “Fee Letter”).

SECTION 2.12 Interest.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Company hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) 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 and (iv) all accrued interest shall be payable upon termination of the Total Commitment.

The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


		-24-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making 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 Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


		-25-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow (unless such failure was caused by the failure of a Lender to make such Loan), convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan, or the failure to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the Eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or


		-26-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

Other Taxes; provided that if the Company shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16(c)) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Company is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, if a payment made to a Foreign Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Foreign Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Foreign Lender has complied with such Foreign Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.


		-27-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes and Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Company, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Company shall make each payment required to be made by the Company hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person promptly following receipt thereof to the appropriate recipient in accordance with such Person’s pro rata share of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. If a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

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

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender


		-28-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; 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 Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’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 application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender 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 Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.


		-29-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or any Lender fails to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that requires consent of 100% of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.02(b) hereof and is otherwise approved by Lenders holding at least 66²/₃% of the sum of the total Credit Exposures at such time, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19 Telephonic Notices. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Company to confirm in writing any telephonic notice it is entitled to give under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of a telephonic notice believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent to be from the Company prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Company hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

SECTION 2.20 Extension of Stated Maturity Date. The Company shall have the right, without the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, to extend the Stated Maturity Date by one year by (a) giving written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 60 days prior to the original Stated Maturity Date and (b) paying the applicable Extension Fee in immediately available funds on or before the original Stated Maturity Date.

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

(a) in the event that such Defaulting Lender shall fail to respond to any request for any waiver, consent, amendment or modification requested hereunder within twenty (20) days of written request from the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender shall be


		-30-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

deemed to have consented or agreed to such requested waiver, consent amendment or modification, as the case may be, for purposes of determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder provided the foregoing shall not apply with respect to amendments or waivers pursuant to Section 9.02(b)(i), 9.02(b)(ii), or 9.02(b)(iv);

(b) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 but excluding Section 2.18(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, subject to any applicable Requirement of Law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payments of any amount then owing to a Lender as a result of a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Lender against a Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (iii) third, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted and reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage after giving effect to such reallocation, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company must comply with Section 2.09.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company and constitute valid and legally binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with the respective terms thereof, except (a) as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (including principles of good faith, reasonableness, materiality and fair dealing) which may, among other things, limit the right to obtain equitable remedies (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (b) as to the enforceability of provisions for indemnification for violation of applicable securities laws, limitations thereon arising as a matter of law or public policy.

SECTION 4.03 Governmental Consents, Etc. No authorization, consent, approval, license or exemption of or registration, declaration or filing with any Governmental Authority, is necessary for the valid execution and delivery of, or the incurrence and performance by the Company of its obligations under, any Loan Document to which it is a party, except those that have been obtained and such matters relating to performance as would ordinarily be done in the ordinary course of business after the Execution Date.

SECTION 4.04 No Breach or Violation of Agreements or Restrictions, Etc. Neither the execution and delivery of, nor the incurrence and performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the extensions of credit contemplated by the Loan Documents, will (a) breach or violate any applicable Requirement of


		-34-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

Law, (b) result in any breach or violation of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of its property or assets pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which it or any of the Subsidiaries is party or by which any of its properties or assets, or those of any of the Subsidiaries is bound or to which it is subject, except for breaches, violations and defaults under clauses (a) and (b) that neither individually nor in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (c) violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Company.

SECTION 4.05 Properties. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold or other interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for Liens permitted under Section 6.01.

SECTION 4.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) There is no action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involves this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties currently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous Materials, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.07 Material Adverse Change. Except as otherwise disclosed by the Company in a public filing, since December 31, 2010, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, liabilities or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case, taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.08 Disclosure.

		-35-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the syndication or negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA, which waiver, failure or liability could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.11 Tax Returns and Payments. The Company and the Subsidiaries have caused to be filed all federal income tax returns and other material tax returns, statements and reports (or obtained extensions with respect thereto) which are required to be filed and have paid or deposited or made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for the payment of all taxes (including estimated taxes shown on such returns, statements and reports) which are shown to be due pursuant to such returns, except for taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been created on the books of the Company and the Subsidiaries and where the failure to pay such taxes (individually or in the aggregate for the Company and the Subsidiaries) would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.12 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate for the Company and the Subsidiaries, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used for the purposes set forth in Section 5.07.


		-36-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

(b) None of the proceeds of the Loans made under this Agreement will be, used directly or indirectly for the purpose of buying or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U (herein called “margin stock”) or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to buy or carry any margin stock, or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose” credit within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or any other Loan Document to violate Regulation T, Regulation U, Regulation X, or any other regulation of the Board or to violate the Exchange Act. Margin stock does not constitute more than 25% of the assets of the Company or of the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and the Company does not intend or foresee that it will ever do so.

The Administrative Agent may employ agents, accountants, attorneys and experts and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, accountants, attorneys or experts selected by it in good faith or any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such agents, accountants, attorneys or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee named in any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent is authorized to release any cash collateral that is permitted to be released pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.02 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including

SECTION 8.03 Defaults; Events of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal or interest on the Loans or of fees) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. In the event of a payment Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such payment Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 8.04 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, RBS (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. RBS (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Company (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent.

		-45-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

SECTION 8.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Company and the Subsidiaries and its decision to enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. None of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent nor the Co-Documentation Agents shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or books of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, none of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent nor the Co-Documentation Agents shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its respective Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the Administrative Agent only. Each Lender and each other Agent will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with this Agreement and other Loan Documents and the matters contemplated herein and therein.

SECTION 8.07 Action by Administrative Agent. Except for action or other matters expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders as expressly required by Section 9.02) specifying the action to be taken, and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders as expressly required by Section 9.02) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders as required by Section 9.02) in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 8.07; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem


		-46-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

SECTION 8.08 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not unreasonably be withheld). Upon the acceptance of such appointment hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.09 Duties of Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers. Notwithstanding the indemnity of the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents contained in Section 8.05, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation or duty whatsoever on any Person named on the cover of this Agreement or elsewhere in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents or Joint Lead Arrangers, other than, in the case of the Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents, those applicable to all Lenders as such.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document provision may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders or by the Company and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.05 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or

(e) In the case of any indemnification hereunder, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as appropriate shall give notice to the Company of any such claim or demand being made against the Indemnified Party and the Company shall have the non-exclusive right to join in the defense against any such claim or demand; provided that if the Company provides a defense, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own cost of defense unless there is a conflict between the Company and such Indemnified Party.

		-52-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each such assignment, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided further that any consent of the Company otherwise required under this Section 9.05(b) shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignments shall be permitted to the Company or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or shall be made to a Defaulting Lender. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 9.05(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.05(e).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to (or for the account of) each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender (solely with respect to its Commitment only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.05(b), any tax forms, any information required under Section 9.15 and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.05(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (excluding the


		-53-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

Company or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any Defaulting Lender) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and other Obligations owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.05(f), the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.05(b), and be indemnified under Section 9.03 as if it were a Lender. In addition, each agreement creating any participation must include an agreement by the Participant to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.12.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) The Lenders may furnish any information concerning the Company in the possession of the Lenders from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that, such Persons agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.12 hereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.05 to the contrary, any Lender may assign and pledge its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve System and/or such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment and/or pledge shall release the assigning and/or pledging Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.05, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state.


		-54-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

SECTION 9.06 Survival; Reinstatement.

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Obligations are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received.

SECTION 9.07 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter constitute the entire contract among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (including the Information Memorandum). Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail delivery, in PDF form, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.


		-55-		2011 FEP Term Loan Agreement

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any of and all the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
