As used herein:
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate means, for any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period therefor, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) determined by Administrative Agent to be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period by (b) one (1) minus the Reserve Requirement for such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period.
Administrative Agent means Bank of America, N.A., and its permitted successors and assigns as “Administrative Agent” for Lenders under this Agreement.
Affiliate of any Person means any other Person who directly or indirectly controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person, and, for purposes of this definition only, “control,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with” mean possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise).
Agent-Related Persons means Administrative Agent, together with its Affiliates (including Arranger), and the officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of such Persons and Affiliates.
Agreement means this Credit Agreement (as the same may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, or restated from time to time).

Applicable Lending Office means, for each Lender and for each Type of Borrowing, the “Lending Office” of such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) designated on Schedule 2.1 or such other office as such Lender may from time to time specify to Administrative Agent and Borrower by written notice in accordance with the terms hereof as the office by which its Borrowings of such Type are to be made and maintained.
Applicable Margin means, as of any date of determination, the interest margin over the Prime Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, and the applicable fees payable pursuant to Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, as the case may be, that corresponds to the Xxxxx’x Rating, the S & P Rating, and the Fitch Rating set forth below on such date of determination:

(G) no Potential Default or Event of Default exists or would occur after giving effect to such increase;
(H) no Lender shall be an Increasing Lender without the written consent of such Lender; and
(I) the amount of all increases in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall not exceed $750,000,000 in the aggregate.
After the admission of any Subsequent Lender or the increase in the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender and to Borrower a new Schedule 2.1 to this Agreement. In the event that there are any Borrowings outstanding after giving effect to an increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.2, upon notice from Administrative Agent to each Lender, the amount of such Borrowings owing to each Lender shall be appropriately adjusted to
Credit Agreement
18
reflect the new Pro Rata Parts of Lenders, and Borrower shall pay any Consequential Losses associated therewith pursuant to Section 4.5.
2.3 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Without premium or penalty, and upon giving not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written and irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may permanently terminate in whole or in part the Total Commitment; provided that: (a) each partial termination shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $1,000,000; (b) the amount of the Total Commitment may not be reduced below the Total Outstandings; (c) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Total Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the Total Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess; and (d) each reduction shall be allocated Pro Rata among Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Parts. Promptly after receipt of such notice of termination or reduction, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or reduction. Such termination or partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be effective on the Business Day specified in Borrower’s notice (which date must be at least ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s delivery of such notice). In the event that the Total Commitment is reduced to zero and there is no outstanding Principal Debt or L/C Obligations, this Agreement shall be terminated to the extent specified in Section 13.14, and all facility fees and other fees then earned and unpaid hereunder and all other amounts of the Obligation then due and owing shall be immediately due and payable, without notice or demand by any Credit Party.
2.4 Borrowing Procedure. The following procedures apply to Borrowings (other than Conversions and Continuations of Borrowings):
(a) Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing delivered to Administrative Agent requesting that Lenders fund a Borrowing on a Borrowing Date, which notice (i) shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower, (ii) shall specify the Borrowing Date, amount, Type, and (for a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Borrowings) Interest Period, and (iii) must be received by Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date for any Eurodollar Borrowing or on the Borrowing Date for any Prime Rate Borrowing. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with respect to Administrative Agent’s receipt of each Notice of Borrowing.
(b) Funding. Each Lender shall remit its Pro Rata Part of each requested Borrowing to Administrative Agent at its Payment Office in funds which are or will be available for immediate use by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date therefor. Subject to receipt of such funds, Administrative Agent shall (unless to its actual knowledge any of the conditions precedent therefor have not been satisfied by Borrower or waived by Required Lenders) make such funds available to Borrower by causing such funds to be deposited by 3:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date to Borrower’s account as designated to Administrative Agent by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Part of the applicable Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to Administrative Agent on such date, as required herein, and Administrative Agent may (unless to its actual knowledge any of the conditions precedent therefor have not been satisfied by Borrower or waived by Required Lenders), in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to Borrower a corresponding amount in accordance with the foregoing terms, but, if such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on such Borrowing Date, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand (i) from such
Credit Agreement
19
Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate during the period commencing on the date such corresponding amount was made available to Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers such corresponding amount from such Lender, or (ii) if such Lender fails to pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon such demand, then from Borrower, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate for such Borrowing during the period commencing on such Borrowing Date and ending on (but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers such corresponding amount from Borrower. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to remit their Pro Rata Part of each requested Borrowing are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make its Pro Rata Part of any Borrowing on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Pro Rata Part of any Borrowing.
2.5 Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Sublimit.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.5, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Termination Date, to make L/C Credit Extensions for the account of Borrower or for the account of Borrower and one or more of its Subsidiaries (provided that the issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of a Subsidiary of Borrower shall not relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, (2) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Termination Date until the Business Day immediately prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it in accordance with subsection (b) below; provided that no such amendment shall renew, extend, or increase any such Letter of Credit, and (3) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitment, (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Principal Debt of any Lender plus, without duplication, such Lender’s Pro Rata Part of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
(ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) | any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Legal Requirement applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive |
Credit Agreement
20
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve, or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost, or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; | ||||
(B) | the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the earlier of (i) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or (ii) the date that is thirty-six (36) months after the date of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; | |||
(C) | the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any applicable Legal Requirement or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer with respect to the issuance of letters of credit generally; | |||
(D) | such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $10,000 (unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer) or is to be used for a purpose other than general corporate needs including insurance bonding requirements or denominated in a currency other than Dollars; | |||
(E) | a default of any Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.1(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless (1) such L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender, or (2) after giving effect to such Letter of Credit, the Total Outstandings do not exceed the Total Commitment excluding the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a)(ii)(E) shall relieve any Lender from liability to Borrower for any breach of its obligations arising under this Agreement, including its obligations under Section 2.1(c)(iv); or | |||
(F) | such L/C Issuer has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the date of such issuance from Administrative Agent, any Lender, or Borrower that one of more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 have not been satisfied. |
(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be obligated to amend (which may include renewals, extensions, or increases in a Letter of Credit) any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
Credit Agreement
21
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by an L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the name and address of any Subsidiary that is an account party along with Borrower; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such L/C Issuer of confirmation from Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or Borrower and the specified Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. If, prior to the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer receives a request from Borrower to review the Letter of Credit to be issued, such L/C Issuer shall send a copy of such proposed Letter of Credit to Borrower for review. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Part times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter by Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed in writing by such L/C Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, such L/C Issuer shall be permitted to renew such Letter of Credit at any time prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such
Credit Agreement
22
L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it could not at such time issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.5(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by any L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (prior to any conversion into a Borrowing, the “Unreimbursed Amount”); provided that if the Honor Date for such Letter of Credit occurs prior to the Termination Date, then, unless Borrower reimburses L/C Issuer through Administrative Agent in respect of such drawing prior to 11:00 a.m. on such Honor Date, such Unreimbursed Amount shall automatically convert into a Prime Rate Borrowing. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Prime Rate Borrowing to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1 for the principal amount of Prime Rate Borrowings, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(i) make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Part of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate Borrowing to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Prime Rate Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for
Credit Agreement
23
the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.5.
(iv) If Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on any Honor Date, then Administrative Agent shall, upon notice from the applicable L/C Issuer, notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, whether the Unreimbursed Amount has been converted into a Prime Rate Borrowing, and such Lender’s Pro Rata Part of such Unreimbursed Amount or Borrowing. Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any such notice make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Applicable Lending Office of Administrative Agent in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Part of such Unreimbursed Amount or Borrowing not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(v) Until each Lender funds its participation, Pro Rata Part of a Borrowing, or L/C Advance pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(iv) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Part of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
(vi) Each Lender’s obligation to fund participations, Borrowings, or L/C Advances to reimburse each L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit issued in accordance with this Agreement, as contemplated by this Section 2.5(c), shall inure to the benefit of all parties to this Agreement and shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which such Lender may have against an L/C Issuer, Borrower, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Potential Default, (C) any amendment, renewal, or extension of any Letter of Credit, or (D) any other occurrence, event, or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vii) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(c) by the time specified in Section 2.5(c)(iv), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of an L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.5(c)(vii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations or Borrowings.
(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s funding of its participation in an Unreimbursed Amount or Pro Rata Part of a Borrowing or L/C Advance as a result of such payment in accordance with Section 2.5(c), if Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C
Credit Agreement
24
Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or Borrowing or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise) Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Part thereof in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 13.14 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by an L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Part thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse an L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Borrowing or L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense, or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate, or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower.
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. Borrower shall be conclusively
Credit Agreement
25
deemed to have waived any such claim against each L/C Issuer and their correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates, and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No L/C Issuer, Agent-Related Person, or any of the respective correspondents, participants, or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity, or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No L/C Issuer, Agent-Related Person, or any of the respective correspondents, participants, or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Sections 2.5(e)(i) through (v); provided, however, that anything in such clauses or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct, bad faith, or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by any L/C Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(h) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(i) Cash Collateral. If, as of the Termination Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then-undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to such outstanding amount determined as of the Termination Date). For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each L/C Issuer and the
Credit Agreement
26
Lenders, as collateral for the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Effective as of the time Borrower is required under this Section 2.5(i) or any other provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents to Cash Collateralize the then-undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing in an amount equal to such undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Administrative Agent. Cash collateral shall be released from such Lien as and to the extent that Letters of Credit expire or terminate or are drawn upon and reimbursed.
(j) L/C Issuer Reporting Requirements. Each L/C Issuer shall, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by Borrower to such L/C Issuer during the such month pursuant to Section 5.5. Promptly after the receipt of such schedule from each L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent shall provide to Lenders a summary of such schedules.
(k) Increase of Letter of Credit Sublimit. At any time after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, Administrative Agent shall, from time to time upon three (3) Business Days written request from Borrower, increase the Letter of Credit Sublimit subject to the following conditions:
(i) after giving effect to the increase in the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Total Outstandings do not exceed the Total Commitments, and the Letter of Credit Sublimit does not exceed an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Total Commitments;
(ii) each increase in the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be in the amount of $10,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $500,000; and
(iii) no Potential Default or Event of Default exists or would occur after giving effect to such increase.
(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
Credit Agreement
27
SECTION 3 TERMS OF PAYMENT.
3.1 Notes and Payments.
(a) Notes. The Credit Extensions owed to each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions owed to such Lender and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligation. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence the Borrowings owed to such Lender and shall be in the face amount of such Lender’s Commitment in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of Borrowings and payments with respect thereto.
(b) Payments Generally. Each payment or prepayment on the Obligation is due and must be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent at its Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without set-off, deduction, defense, recoupment, or counterclaim, by 12:00 noon on the day due. Payments made after 12:00 noon shall be deemed made on the Business Day next following. If any payment or prepayment on the Obligation is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next following Business Day, and, to the extent applicable, interest and fees shall continue to accrue until such payment or prepayment is actually made. Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender any payment or prepayment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder on the same day Administrative Agent shall have received the same from Borrower; provided that such payment or prepayment is received by Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, and otherwise before 12:00 noon on the Business Day next following. If and to the extent Administrative Agent shall not make such payments to Lenders when due as set forth in the preceding sentence, then such unpaid amounts shall accrue interest, payable by Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until (but not including) the date on which Administrative Agent makes such payments to Lenders.
(c) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

3.2 Interest and Principal Payments.
(a) Interest Payments. Interest on each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be due and payable as it accrues on the last day of its respective Interest Period and on the Termination Date, as applicable; provided that, with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings having an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, Borrower shall pay interest on the respective dates that fall every three (3) months after the beginning of such Interest Period and on the expiration of each Interest Period. Interest on each Prime Rate Borrowing shall be due and payable as it accrues on each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, and on the Termination Date.
(b) Mandatory Payments.
(i) The Total Principal Debt is due and payable on the Termination Date.
(ii) On any date of determination, if the Total Outstandings exceed the Total Commitment, then Borrower shall prepay the Principal Debt and/or Cash Collateralize or cause to be canceled the undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit in at least the amount of such excess, together with (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Debt prepaid, and (B) any Consequential Loss arising as a result thereof.
(iii) All mandatory payments pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Debt Pro Rata except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
(c) Voluntary Prepayments. After giving Administrative Agent a Notice of Prepayment, Borrower may voluntarily prepay all or any part of the Principal Debt from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that: (i) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on (A) the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the date of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (B) one (1) Business Day prior to a prepayment of a Prime Rate Borrowing; (ii) each such partial prepayment must be in the amount of $5,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $1,000,000 (whether a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Prime Rate Borrowing); (iii) all accrued interest on the Principal Debt being prepaid must also be paid in full, to the date of such prepayment if such voluntary prepayment is a prepayment of all outstanding Principal Debt and a termination of all Commitments under this Agreement or if the Principal Debt being prepaid is a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (iv) Borrower shall pay any related Consequential Loss (for any Eurodollar Borrowing) within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Each Notice of Prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the Type of Borrowing(s) and amount(s) of such Borrowing(s) to be prepaid and shall constitute a binding obligation of Borrower to make a prepayment on the date stated therein. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of Prepayment upon its receipt.
3.3 Interest Options. Except where specifically otherwise provided, Borrowings shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) as to the respective Type of Borrowing (as designated by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement), the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Borrowings or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Borrowings, and (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Prime Rate, Applicable Margin, or the Maximum Rate, subject to the terms of this Agreement, will become effective, without notice to Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective date of such change.
Credit Agreement
29
3.4 Quotation of Rates. A Responsible Officer may call Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Notice of Borrowing is to be delivered by Borrower in order to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but such indicated rates shall neither be binding upon Administrative Agent or Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the Notice of Borrowing is given.
3.5 Default Rate. At the option of Required Lenders at any time while an Event of Default exists and to the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, all past due Principal Debt and all past due accrued interest thereon, and fees and expenses payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, regardless whether such payment is made before or after entry of a judgment.
3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated rate applicable to any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the rate of interest on such Borrowing shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in such designated rate shall not reduce the rate of interest thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued thereon equals the amount of interest which would have accrued thereon if such designated rate had at all times been in effect. In the event that at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Total Principal Debt, the total amount of interest paid or accrued is less than the amount of interest which would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect, then, at such time and to the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest which would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect and the amount of interest which would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Total Principal Debt.
3.7 Interest Calculations.
(a) All computations of interest for Prime Rate Borrowings shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first (1st) day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days. All interest rate determinations and calculations by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
(b) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the calculation of the Prime Rate and the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest or other amounts to be paid hereunder that are based upon such rate.
3.8 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan Document, no Credit Party shall ever be entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or apply, as interest on the Obligation, or any part thereof, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and if any Credit Party ever does so, then such excess shall be deemed a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and the Credit Parties shall, to the maximum extent permitted under all Legal Requirements, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a single extension of credit (and the Credit Parties and Borrower agree that such is the case and that provision herein for multiple Borrowings is for convenience only), (b) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (c) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (d) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligation;
Credit Agreement
30
provided that if the Obligation is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Amount, then the Credit Parties shall refund such excess, and, in such event, the Credit Parties shall not, to the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, be subject to any penalties provided by any Legal Requirements for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Amount.
3.9 Interest Periods. When Borrower requests any Eurodollar Borrowing, Borrower may elect the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable thereto, which shall be, at Borrower’s option, one (1) month or two (2), three (3), or six (6) months, in each case to the extent available from each Lender; provided, however, that: (a) the initial Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any Conversion thereto), and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; (b) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, then such Interest Period shall end on the next Business Day immediately following what otherwise would have been such numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period (unless such date would be in a different calendar month from what would have been the month at the end of such Interest Period, or unless there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of the Interest Period; whereupon, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period); (c) no Interest Period may be chosen with respect to any portion of the Total Principal Debt which would extend beyond the scheduled repayment date (including any dates on which mandatory prepayments are required to be made) for such portion of the Total Principal Debt; and (d) no more than an aggregate of five (5) Interest Periods shall be in effect at one time.
3.10 Conversions; Continuations. Borrower may (a) Convert a Eurodollar Borrowing on the last day of an Interest Period to a Prime Rate Borrowing, (b) Convert a Prime Rate Borrowing at any time to a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (c) elect to Continue a Borrowing by selecting a new Interest Period (in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing), by giving a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of Conversion or the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be; provided that, the principal amount Converted to, or Continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a greater integral multiple of $1,000,000. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with respect to each Notice of Conversion/Continuation. Absent Borrower’s Notice of Conversion/Continuation, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed Converted to a Prime Rate Borrowing effective as of the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. No Eurodollar Borrowing may be either made or Continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and no Prime Rate Borrowing may be Converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing, (i) if the interest rate for such Eurodollar Borrowing would exceed the Maximum Rate, or (ii) while an Event of Default exists, unless Required Lenders otherwise consent in writing.
3.11 Order of Application.
(a) Payments and prepayments of the Obligation shall be applied in the order and manner specified in this Agreement; provided, however, if no order is otherwise specified and no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, payments and prepayments of the Obligation shall be applied first, to fees, second, to accrued interest then due and payable on the Total Principal Debt, and then to the remaining Obligation in the order and manner as Borrower may direct.
Credit Agreement
31
(b) If a Potential Default or Event of Default exists (or if Borrower fails to give directions as permitted under Section 3.11(a)), any payment or prepayment (including proceeds from the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied to the Obligation in the following order: (i) to the ratable payment of all fees, expenses, and indemnities for which the Credit Parties have not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan Documents; (ii) to the ratable payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Total Principal Debt; (iii) to the ratable payment of the Total Principal Debt; and (iv) to the payment of the remaining Obligation in the order and manner Required Lenders deem appropriate.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 12 and provided that Administrative Agent shall not in any event be bound to inquire into or to determine the validity, scope, or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Credit Party and may suspend all payments or seek appropriate relief (including instructions from Required Lenders or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to each Credit Party in accordance with this Agreement and the related Loan Documents.
3.12 Right of Set-off; Adjustments.
(a) Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, 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 (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 3.12(a) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.
(b) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Borrowings owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Borrowings owing to it, or interest thereon, then such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Borrowings owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with all Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, then such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.12(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
3.13 Booking Borrowings. To the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, any Lender may make, carry, or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the
Credit Agreement
32
office of any of its Affiliates; provided that no Affiliate shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to such Borrowings.
SECTION 4 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.
4.1 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a) Change in Legal Requirements. If, after the date hereof, the adoption or phase-in of any applicable Legal Requirement, or any change in any applicable Legal Requirement, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority:
(i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing, its Note, any Letter of Credit issued by it or its obligation to make Eurodollar Borrowings or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowings or any L/C Obligations owing to it (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);
(ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;
and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of being obligated to make, making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Borrowings or of issuing Letters of Credit or purchasing or maintaining participations in Letters of Credit or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Note with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowings or with respect to any L/C Obligations owing to it, then Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. If any Lender requests compensation by Borrower under this Section 4.1(a), then Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings, or Convert all Eurodollar Borrowings into Prime Rate Borrowings, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the Right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(b) Capital Adequacy. If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or phase-in of any applicable Legal Requirement regarding capital adequacy or any change
Credit Agreement
33
therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(c) Notice. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 and will use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 4.1 shall furnish to Borrower and Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
4.2 Limitation on Types of Borrowings.
If on or prior to the first (1st) day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding Eurodollar Borrowings for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Borrowings, Continue any Eurodollar Borrowings, or to Convert any Prime Rate Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then-current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings, either prepay such Borrowings or Convert such Borrowings into Prime Rate Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
4.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Borrowings hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings and to Convert Prime Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Borrowings (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 shall be applicable).
4.4 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings or to Convert Prime Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be
Credit Agreement
34
suspended pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3, then such Lender’s Eurodollar Borrowings shall be automatically Converted into Prime Rate Borrowings on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for all Eurodollar Borrowings (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Borrowings have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Borrowings shall be applied instead to its Prime Rate Borrowings; and
(b) all Borrowings that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Borrowings shall be made or Continued instead as Prime Rate Borrowings, and all Borrowings of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Prime Rate Borrowings.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Borrowings pursuant to this Section 4.4 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Borrowings made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Prime Rate Borrowings shall be automatically Converted, on the first (1st) day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Eurodollar Borrowings held by Lenders are held Pro Rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods).
4.5 Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (herein called a “Consequential Loss”) incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Borrowing for any reason (including the acceleration of the Obligation pursuant to Section 11.1) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Borrowing; or
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason (including the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 6 to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Borrowing on the date for such Borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or Notice of Prepayment.
4.6 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, excluding, in the case of each Credit Party, Taxes based on or measured by its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction under the Legal Requirements of which such Credit Party (or its Applicable Lending Office) is organized or any political subdivision thereof (such income and franchise Taxes being “Excluded Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by any Legal Requirement to deduct any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Credit Party, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
Credit Agreement
35
additional sums payable under this Section 4.6) such Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Credit Party for the full amount of Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.6) paid by such Credit Party and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
(d) Each Lender organized under the Legal Requirements of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Tax Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender referred to in the foregoing Section 4.6(d) has failed to provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 4.6(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in any Legal Requirement occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Sections 4.6(a) or (b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(f) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.6, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
Credit Agreement
36
(g) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.
(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in Sections 4.1, 4.5, and 4.6 shall survive the termination of the Total Commitment and the payment in full of the Notes.
SECTION 5 FEES.
5.1 Treatment of Fees. Except as otherwise provided by any Legal Requirement, the fees described in this Section 5: (a) do not constitute compensation for the use, detention, or forbearance of money; (b) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest and expenses otherwise described in this Agreement; (c) shall be payable in accordance with Section 3.1; (d) shall be non-refundable; (e) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, bear interest, if not paid when due, at the Default Rate; and (f) shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed, but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days.

5.3 Facility Fees. Following the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of Lenders, a facility fee, calculated daily but payable on (a) the last day of each quarter for fees accrued through and including the last day of such quarter, (b) on the Termination Date, and (c) thereafter on demand, commencing September 30, 2005. Each installment shall be in an amount equal to the product of (a) the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Facility Fees times (b) the daily amount of the Commitment of each Lender, whether used or unused (or, after the Termination Date, on the Total Outstandings), in each case during the period from and including the last payment date to and excluding the payment date for such installment.
5.4 Utilization Fee. Following the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a utilization fee, calculated daily but payable quarterly in installments in arrears, on each payment date for facility fees as set forth in Section 5.3. Each installment shall be in an amount equal to the product of (a) the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Utilization Fees times (b) the daily Total Outstandings for each day in which the Total Principal Debt exceeds an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Total Commitment during the period from and including the last payment date to and excluding the payment date for such installment.
5.5 Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable account of Lenders a Letter of Credit fee for each outstanding Letter of Credit equal to a rate per annum equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Borrowings minus 0.10%, times (b) the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). Such Letter of Credit fees shall accrue and be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shall be due and payable (a) on the fifteenth (15th) day after the last day of each March, June, September, and December for fees accrued through the last day of the preceding quarter, (b) on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and (c) thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of
Credit Agreement
37
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

SECTION 7 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Borrower represents and warrants to the Credit Parties as follows:
7.1 Purpose of Credit Facility. Borrower will use (or will loan or contribute such proceeds to its Subsidiaries to so use) all proceeds of Credit Extensions for one or more of the following: (a) to refinance existing Debt of Borrower under the Existing Revolver Credit Facility and the Existing L/C Facility; and (b) for lawful, corporate purposes including, without limitation, liquidity support for commercial paper issued by Borrower and to satisfy its insurance bonding requirements. No Restricted Company is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U. No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extension will be used, directly or indirectly, for a purpose which violates any Legal Requirement, including the provisions of Regulation T, U, or X (as enacted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended). “Margin Stock” (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than twenty-five percent (25%) of those assets of the Companies that are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or similar restrictions hereunder.
7.2 Existence, Good Standing, Authority, and Authorizations. Each Restricted Company is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Legal Requirements of its jurisdiction of organization. Each Restricted Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature and extent of its business and properties require the same, except where the failure to be so qualified could not constitute a Material Adverse Event. Each Restricted Company possesses all the Authorizations necessary or required in the conduct of its respective business(es), and the same are valid, binding, enforceable, and subsisting without any defaults thereunder or enforceable adverse limitations thereon and are not subject to any proceedings or claims opposing the issuance, development, or use thereof or contesting the validity thereof, except for any such circumstance that could not be a Material Adverse Event.
7.3 Subsidiaries; Capital Stock. The Companies have no Subsidiaries except as disclosed on Schedule 7.3, such schedule reflecting each Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of incorporation (as supplemented and modified in writing from time to time to reflect any changes to such Schedule as a result of transactions permitted or not prohibited by the Loan Documents) and each Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated as such. All of the outstanding Stock of each Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and, except (a) for directors’ qualifying shares, or (b) as otherwise set forth on Schedule 7.3, are owned directly or indirectly by Borrower (as supplemented and modified in writing from time to time to reflect any changes to such Schedule as a result of transactions permitted or not prohibited by the Loan Documents), free and clear, in the case of all Restricted Subsidiaries, of any Liens, restrictions (including restrictions on transfer), claims, or Rights of another Person except for restrictions on transfer imposed by securities Legal Requirements and general corporate Legal Requirements.
7.4 Authorization and Contravention. The execution and delivery by Borrower of each Loan Document and the performance by Borrower of its obligations thereunder (a) are within the corporate power of Borrower, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Borrower, (c) require no action by or in respect of Authorizations of or filing with, any Governmental Authority, which action, Authorization, or filing has not been taken, received, or made on or prior to the
Credit Agreement
40
Closing Date (or if later, the date of execution and delivery of such Loan Document) other than filing of the Loan Documents pursuant to securities Legal Requirements, (d) will not violate any provision of the Constituent Documents of any Company, (e) will not violate any provision of any Legal Requirement applicable to any Company, other than such violations which individually or collectively could not be a Material Adverse Event, (f) will not violate any material written or oral agreements, contracts, commitments, or understandings to which any Company is a party, other than such violations which could not be a Material Adverse Event, or (g) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Company.
7.5 Binding Effect. Upon execution and delivery by all parties thereto, each Loan Document to which Borrower is a party will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and general principles of equity.
7.6 Financial Statements. The Current Financials were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Companies as of and for the portion of the fiscal year ending on the date or dates thereof (subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments). There were no material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of the Companies as of the date or dates of the Current Financials which are required under GAAP to be reflected therein or in the notes thereto, and are not so reflected. No Material Adverse Event has occurred from March 31, 2005 to the Closing Date.
7.7 Litigation, Claims, Investigations. No Company is subject to, or aware of the threat of, any Litigation which is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to any Company, and, if so adversely determined, could (individually or collectively with other Litigation) be a Material Adverse Event. There are no outstanding orders or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $25,000,000 (individually or collectively) or any warrant of attachment, sequestration, or similar proceeding against the assets of any Company having a value (individually or collectively) of $25,000,000 or more which is not either (a) stayed on appeal, or (b) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and against which reserves or other provisions required by GAAP have been made. There are no formal complaints, suits, claims, investigations, or proceedings initiated at or by any Governmental Authority pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened against any Company which is reasonably likely to be determined adversely and, if so adversely determined, could be a Material Adverse Event, nor any judgments, decrees, or orders of any Governmental Authority outstanding against any Company that could be a Material Adverse Event.
7.8 Taxes. All Tax returns of each Company required to be filed have been filed (or extensions have been granted) prior to delinquency, except for any such returns for which the failure to so file could not be a Material Adverse Event, and all Taxes imposed upon each Company which are due and payable have been paid prior to delinquency, other than Taxes (a) that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and against which reserves or other provisions required by GAAP have been made, or (b) for which nonpayment thereof could not be a Material Adverse Event.
7.9 Environmental Matters. No Company, after reasonable inquiry, (a) knows of any environmental condition or circumstance, such as the presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials, on any property presently or previously owned or leased by any Company or to which Hazardous Materials generated by any Company have been taken, that could be a Material Adverse Event, (b) knows of any violation by any Company of any Environmental Law that could be a Material Adverse Event, or
Credit Agreement
41
(c) knows that any Company is under any obligation to remedy any violation of any Environmental Law or any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials that could be a Material Adverse Event.
7.10 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) No Employee Plan has incurred an accumulated funding deficiency, as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Tax Code, (b) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred a liability which is currently due and remains unpaid under Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC or to an Employee Plan in connection with any such Employee Plan, (c) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has withdrawn in whole or in part from participation in a Multiemployer Plan, (d) Borrower has not engaged in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Tax Code), and (e) no Reportable Event has occurred which is reasonably likely to result in the termination of an Employee Plan, if such accumulated funding deficiency, liability, withdrawal, prohibited transaction, or Reportable Event is reasonably likely to result individually or in the aggregate in liability on the part of Borrower in excess of $25,000,000. The present value of all benefit liabilities within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA under each Employee Plan (based on those actuarial assumptions used to fund such Employee Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date for the most recent plan year of such Employee Plan, exceed the value of the assets of such Employee Plan, and the total present values of all benefit liabilities within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA of all Employee Plans (based on the actuarial assumptions used to fund each such Employee Plan) did not, as of the respective annual valuation dates for the most recent plan year of each such Plan, exceed the value of the assets of all such Employee Plans.
7.11 Properties; Liens. Each Restricted Company has good and indefeasible title to all its property reflected on the Current Financials, except for property that (a) is obsolete, or (b) has been disposed of in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, there is no Lien on any property of any Restricted Company.
7.12 Government Regulations. No Company is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any other Legal Requirement (other than Regulations T, U, and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) which regulates the incurrence of Debt.
7.13 Transactions with Affiliates. No Restricted Company is a party to a transaction with any of its Affiliates, other than transactions upon fair and reasonable terms not materially less favorable than such Restricted Company could obtain or could become entitled to in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person that was not its Affiliate.
7.14 No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing or would result from the incurring of obligations by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document which constitutes an Event of Default or a Potential Default. No Restricted Company is in default under or with respect to any material written or oral agreements, contracts, commitments, or understandings to which any Restricted Company is party which could, individually or together with all such defaults, be a Material Adverse Event.
7.15 Solvency. At the time of each Credit Extension hereunder, each Restricted Company is (and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any incurrence of additional Debt, will be) Solvent.
7.16 Compliance with Legal Requirements. No Company is in violation of any Legal Requirements (including Environmental Laws), other than such violations which could not, individually
Credit Agreement
42
or collectively, be a Material Adverse Event. No Company has received notice alleging any non-compliance with any Legal Requirements, except for such non-compliance which no longer exists or which could not be a Material Adverse Event.
7.17 Full Disclosure. There is no material fact or condition relating to the Loan Documents or the financial condition, business, or property of any Company which could be a Material Adverse Event and which has not been disclosed, in writing, to Administrative Agent. All information heretofore furnished by any Company to any Credit Party in connection with the Loan Documents was, and all such information hereafter furnished by any Company to any Credit Party will be, true and accurate in all material respects or based on reasonable estimates on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.
7.18 Senior Debt. The Obligation constitutes (and will constitute until payment in full and cancellation of all Commitments hereunder) Borrower’s direct and unconditional obligation and ranks at least pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated Debt of Borrower.

SECTION 11 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

(a) If an Event of Default exists under Section 10.3(c), 10.3(d), or 10.3(e) then (i) the commitment to extend credit hereunder shall automatically terminate, (ii) the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation shall automatically become due and payable, and (iii) Borrower shall automatically be required to Cash Collateralize the then-undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to the outstanding amount thereof), in each case without any action or notice of any kind whatsoever.
(b) If any Event of Default exists, then Administrative Agent may (and, subject to the terms of Section 12, shall upon the request of Required Lenders) or Required Lenders may, do any one or more of the following: (i) if the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under Section 11.1(a), then declare the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon it shall be due and payable; (ii) terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit hereunder; (iii) reduce any claim to judgment; (iv) to the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, exercise (or request each Lender to, and each Lender shall be entitled to, exercise) the Rights of offset or banker’s Lien against the interest of any Company in and to every account and other property of any Company which are in the possession of any Credit Party to the extent of the full amount
Credit Agreement
53
of the Obligation (to the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, Borrower being deemed directly obligated to each Credit Party in the full amount of the Obligation for such purposes); (v) require that Borrower Cash Collateralize the then-undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to the outstanding amount thereof); and (vi) exercise any and all other legal or equitable Rights afforded by the Loan Documents, the Legal Requirements of the State of Texas, or any other applicable jurisdiction as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the Right to bring suit or other proceedings before any Governmental Authority either for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in any of the Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any Right granted to any Credit Party in any of the Loan Documents; provided that each Lender reserves the Right to bring suit to recover Obligations owing to such Lender after such Obligations become due and payable in the event Administrative Agent or Required Lenders do not do so on its behalf.
11.2 Borrower Waivers. To the extent permitted by all Legal Requirements, Borrower hereby waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment, and agrees that its liability with respect to the Obligation (or any part thereof) shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of the Obligation (or any part thereof), by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of the Obligation (or any part thereof).
11.3 Performance by Administrative Agent. If any covenant, duty, or agreement of Borrower is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, while an Event of Default exists, then Administrative Agent may, at its option (but subject to the approval of Required Lenders), perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of Borrower. In such event, any amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance shall be payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent on demand, shall become part of the Obligation, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure by Administrative Agent until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Administrative Agent does not assume, and shall never have, except by its express written consent, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty, or agreement of Borrower.
11.4 Delegation of Duties and Rights. The Credit Parties may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Loan Documents by or through their respective Representatives.
11.5 Not in Control. Nothing in any Loan Document shall, or shall be deemed to (a) give any Credit Party the Right to exercise control over the assets (including real property), affairs, or management of any Company, (b) preclude or interfere with compliance by any Company with any Legal Requirement, or (c) require any act or omission by any Company that may be harmful to Persons or property. Any “Material Adverse Event” or other materiality qualifier in any representation, warranty, covenant, or other provision of any Loan Document is included for credit documentation purposes only and shall not, and shall not be deemed to, mean that any Credit Party acquiesces in any non-compliance by any Company with any Legal Requirement or document, or that any Credit Party does not expect any Company to promptly, diligently, and continuously carry out all appropriate removal, remediation, and termination activities required or appropriate in accordance with all Environmental Laws. The Credit Parties have no fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to any Company arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Companies, on the other hand, in connection with the Loan Documents is solely that of debtor and creditor. The power of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents is limited to the Rights provided in the Loan Documents, which Rights exist solely to assure payment and performance of the Obligation
Credit Agreement
54
and may be exercised in a manner calculated by the Credit Parties in their respective good faith business judgment.
11.6 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by any Credit Party at any time and from time to time of partial payment on the Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by any Credit Party of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by any Credit Party in exercising any Right under the Loan Documents shall impair such Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such Right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other Right under the Loan Documents or otherwise.
11.7 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights granted to the Credit Parties at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not the Credit Parties have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.
11.8 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by any Credit Party from the exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to the Obligation in the order and manner set forth in Section 3.11.
11.9 Certain Proceedings. Borrower will promptly execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers any Credit Party may reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, or Authorization of any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any Rights under the Loan Documents. Because Borrower agrees that the Credit Parties’ remedies at law for failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.9 would be inadequate and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, Borrower agrees that the covenants of this Section 11.9 may be specifically enforced.
Credit Agreement
55
11.10 Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent, or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, and (ii) to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligation and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance, and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(b) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Borrowing, Letter of Credit, other Credit Extension, or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any liability under Environmental Law related in any way to Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation, or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall Borrower or any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect, punitive, or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its
Credit Agreement
56
activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 11.10(b) shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 11.10(b) shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligation.
SECTION 12 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
12.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent agrees to: (a) make available promptly after the date of this Agreement to any Lender copies of all Loan Documents in its possession which are requested by any such Lender, and (b) timely distribute to each Lender all material information (including financial statements), requests, documents, and items received from Borrower under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of Lenders with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it and the Letter of Credit Applications associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 12 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Letter of Credit Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 12 and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
12.2 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Company or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
Credit Agreement
57
report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Company or any Affiliate thereof.
12.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
(a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
12.5 Notice of Event of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice and of its giving of notice to Borrower pursuant to Sections 10.2(b) or (c). Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 10; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such direction, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
12.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
Credit Agreement
58
review of the affairs of any Company or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial, and other condition and creditworthiness of the Companies, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Legal Requirements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial, and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial, and other condition or creditworthiness of any Companies or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
12.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Company and without limiting the obligation of any Company to do so), Pro Rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent the same shall have been determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 12.7 shall survive termination of the Total Commitments, the payment of the Obligation and the resignation of Administrative Agent.
12.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with each Company and its respective Affiliates as though Administrative Agent were not Administrative Agent and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to Borrowings, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it
Credit Agreement
59
were not Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
12.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, each L/C Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, upon the consent of Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the consent of Borrower as set forth above); provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Agent-Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
12.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claims. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to any Company, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Borrowing shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
Credit Agreement
60
otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Borrowings and any other Obligation that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 5 and 11.10) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 5 and 11.10.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Obligation or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
12.11 Other Agent; Arrangers; and Managers. No Lender or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “senior managing agent,” “managing agent,” “book manager,” “arranger,” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility, or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or other Person so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
SECTION 13 MISCELLANEOUS.

(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Companies, Administrative Agent, and Lenders. Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.
(c) Electronic Mail. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses, and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.

In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Administrative Agent or any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

13.6 Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations, and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery thereof and all closings under the Loan Documents. All such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Borrowing or other Obligation is outstanding.

Credit Agreement
66
such assignment) and 11.10). Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 13.13(d).

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent, and 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 13.11(a) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.13(e), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.1, 4.5, and 4.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.13(b).

A Participant that would be a Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code, if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.6 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender.
