AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

Section 2.01 The Initial Term Loans. (a) [reserved]

(b) [reserved]

(c) Initial Term Loans. Each Term Loan Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Initial Term Loans in US Dollars to the Borrower in a single drawing on the Closing Date in a principal amount requested by the Borrower not to exceed the lesser of (A) such Term Loan Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment and (B) such Term Loan Lender’s pro rata share of the Below Basis Amount. For purposes of this Section 2.01(c), “pro rata share” means, with respect to any Term Loan Lender, the ratio of such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment to the aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitments of all Term Loan Lenders. Each Term Loan Lender’s unfunded Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate automatically at the earlier of (x) 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Closing Date and (y) 11:59 P.M. (New York City time) on December 26, 2015 (or, if the Termination Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement as in effect as of March 26, 2015) is extended pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of the Merger Agreement, March 26, 2016).

Section 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Making the Term Loans. (i) (A) Each Term Loan Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. Local Time, (x) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing or (y) in the case of Base Rate Advances, on the day of the proposed Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each appropriate Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each such notice of a Term Loan Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (I) date of such Term Loan Borrowing, (II) Type of Advances comprising such Term Loan Borrowing, (III) aggregate amount of such Term Loan Borrowing, (IV) [reserved] and (V) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period for each such Term Loan Borrowing. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent, in the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Term Loan Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent, as applicable, will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s address set forth on Schedule 10.02.

(B) The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it as part of any Term Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loan on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Term Loan Borrowing.

(ii) Anything in subsection (i) above to the contrary notwithstanding,

(A) if any Lender shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Term Loan Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation by any court, authority or agency, or any other governmental, judicial or regulatory body, makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Term Loan Borrowing or any subsequent Term Loan Borrowing, with respect to such Lender (only), shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist or such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, and each Term Loan comprising such Term Loan Borrowing shall, with respect to such Lender (only), be a Base Rate Advance of an equivalent amount and for an approximately equivalent term, provided that if all the Lenders so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Notice of Borrowing in respect of such requested Term Loan Borrowing shall be automatically revoked;

(B) in the event that it is necessary to determine the Eurodollar Rate with reference to the Reference Banks, and if none of the Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any requested Term Loan Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any such Term Loan Borrowing or any subsequent Term Loan Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Term Loan Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; and

(C) if Term Loan Lenders having more than 50% of the Term Loan Commitments shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Term Loan Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such Term Loan Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or funding their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Term Loan Borrowing, the Notice of Borrowing given in respect of such requested Term Loan Borrowing shall be automatically revoked and the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Term Loan Borrowing or any subsequent Term Loan Borrowing shall be suspended until such Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) and the other Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. The Lenders giving a notice under this subclause (C) shall, promptly after giving such notice, provide the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with an explanation, in reasonable detail, as to the circumstances causing such suspension.

(D) Anything in subsection (i) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Term Loan Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Term Loan Borrowing is less than the Borrowing Minimum.

(iii) Each Notice of Borrowing (subject to (ii)(A) and (ii)(C) above) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Term Loan Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Term Loan Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Term Loan Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. Each Lender claiming indemnity for any such loss, cost or expense under this clause (iii) shall provide, at the time of making such claim, the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with reasonable details, including the basis for the calculation thereof, of such loss, cost or expense, provided that, in the absence of manifest error, the amount of such claims so notified shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

(iv) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Term Loan Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each date from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the Base Rate and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If the Borrower shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Term Loan Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.03 Fees.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) [Reserved]

(c) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.04 Reduction, Increase and Extension of the Commitments.

(a) Voluntary Commitment Reductions. The Company shall have the right, upon at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Term Loan Commitments, provided that (i) each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of US$10,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) any notice of termination may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the incurrence of other Indebtedness or the issuance of equity interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent) if such condition is not satisfied; provided that prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company shall not terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Term Loan Commitments without the express written consent of Xxxx unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01 thereof. The parties agree that this Section 2.04(a) shall inure to the benefit of Xxxx as a third party beneficiary.

(b) Extension of Termination Date. Not later than the date 45 days prior to the applicable Termination Date then in effect, the Company may deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice requesting that the Term Loans be extended to such date as the Company may specify in such notice (the “Extended Termination Date”), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such notice to the Lenders. Within 10 days after its receipt of any such notice, each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of its willingness or unwillingness so to extend all of its Term Loans. Any Lender which shall fail so to notify the Administrative Agent within such period shall be deemed to have declined to extend its Term Loans. In the event that Lenders having outstanding Term Loans equal to 35% or more of the aggregate Term Loans outstanding at such time shall be willing to extend their respective Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and each Lender and the applicable Termination Date for each consenting Lender shall without further action be extended to the Extended Termination Date. In the event that any Lender shall be unwilling to extend its Term Loans, the Term Loans of such Lender will not be extended and the applicable Termination Date as to that Lender shall remain unchanged. The scheduled amortization payments of principal of any extended Term Loans occurring after the original applicable Termination Date shall be determined by the Term Loan Lenders that have agreed to such extension and the Company. The Company may replace any Lender that has not agreed to extend its Term Loans (a “Non-Extending Lender”) pursuant to Section 2.17(b). Notwithstanding the terms of Section 10.01, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (with the consent of the extending Lenders, but without the consent of any other Lenders) to enter into any amendments to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent and the Company believe are necessary to appropriately reflect any extension pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

Section 2.05 Initial Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Term Loan Lenders, on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date), a principal amount of the Initial Term Loans equal to (i) for each of the first eight full fiscal quarters ending after the Closing Date, 1.250%, (ii) for each of the next four full fiscal quarters, 1.875% and (iii) for each of the next seven full fiscal quarters, 2.500%, in each case of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans as of the Closing Date. If not sooner paid, the Initial Term Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the applicable Termination Date.

Section 2.06 Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan owing by it to each Lender from the date of such Term Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) Base Rate Advances. If such Term Loan is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on (A) the last day of each quarter and (B) the date such Base Rate Advance shall be paid in full; provided that any amount of principal which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Eurodollar Rate Advances. If such Term Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Term Loan to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on (A) if the Interest Period in respect of such Advance is less than or equal to three months, the last day of such Interest Period, or (B) if the Interest Period in respect of such Advance is greater than three months, the last day of each three-month period (beginning the first day of such Interest Period) occurring during that Interest Period, and also on the last day of such Interest Period; provided that any amount of principal which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin.

Section 2.07 Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender made to the Borrower, from the date of such Term Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Term Loan from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Term Loan. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Lender notifying the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such additional interest shall provide the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time of such notification, with reasonable details, including the basis for the calculation thereof, of such additional interest, provided that, in the absence of manifest error, the amount of such additional interest so notified shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

Section 2.08 Interest Rate Determination. (a) If the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by reference to the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or any successor page (as provided in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”) or by reference to an Interpolated Rate, each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate. Subject to Section 2.02(a)(ii)(B), if any of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Bank.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.06(a) or (b), and the applicable rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the applicable interest rate.

Section 2.09 Prepayments. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any principal amount of any Term Loans (i) upon same-day notice in the case of Base Rate Advances or (ii) upon at least two Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans comprising part of the same Term Loan Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Borrowing Minimum or the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and (ii) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(b). Each prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce in direct order of maturity (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the remaining scheduled principal installments of such Term Loans.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement, Eurodollar Rate Advances made by such Lender;

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

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

(d) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender, in the Administrative Agent’s Account, in US Dollars in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 2.14 or 10.04(b)) to the Lenders entitled thereto for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.02, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest with respect to the Advances based on clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate and of fees (other than the commitment fee) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of (i) interest with respect to the Term Loans based on clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate, the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) interest pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fee or commission is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.07, by a Lender) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

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

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender, until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.12 Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Term Loans. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Term Loan Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Loans owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Loan Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in a principal amount up to the Term Loan Commitment (or outstanding Term Loan) of such Lender.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Term Loan Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Term Loans owing by the Borrower to it (other than pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.07, 2.10, 2.14 or 2.17(b)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Term Loans made to the Borrower obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and forthwith purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders such participations in the Term Loans made to the Borrower owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Term Loan Lender, such purchase from each Term Loan Lender shall be rescinded and such Term Loan Lender shall repay to the purchasing Term Loan Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Term Loan Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Term Loan Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans or participations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Term Loan Lender so purchasing a participation from another Term Loan Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment, set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Term Loan Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14 Taxes.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. Within 30 days after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a US Person:

(A) Any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

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

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

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

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.15 Interest Elections. (a) Each Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Term Loan Borrowing to a different Type of Term Loan or to continue such Term Loan Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Term Loan Borrowing, in which case each such Term Loan Borrowing shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders having made the Advances comprising such Term Loan Borrowing, and the Advances comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Term Loan Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Term Loan Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

(iii) the Type of Advances comprising such Term Loan Borrowing; and

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Interest Period for each such Advance.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Advance but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Loan Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Term Loan Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Term Loan Borrowing shall be continued as or converted to a Base Rate Advance.

(e) If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Majority Lenders so direct, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

Section 2.16 [Reserved].

Section 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, and, in each case, such Lender has not designated a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.02), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.02;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advance, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.02(a)(iii)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver, consent or extension request.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.17(b) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.

Section 2.18 [Reserved].

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders and Section 10.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) This Agreement is, and each of other Loan Documents to which it is a party, when delivered hereunder will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.

(e) (i) The consolidated balance sheet of DCP as at December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of DCP for the fiscal year then ended, accompanied by an opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of DCP as at such date and the consolidated results of the operations of DCP for the period ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP. Each consolidated balance sheet of the Business delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(e)(ii), and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Business, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Business as at the date applicable thereto and the consolidated results of the operations of the Business for the period applicable thereto, all in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith and upon assumptions that are believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time made.

(iii) Except as publicly disclosed prior to the Effective Date, since December 31, 2014, there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(g) The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and no proceeds of any Advance will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, except in compliance with Regulations T, U and X issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board.

On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that, except with respect to any matter disclosed in the Form S-4 or in the Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Note to the consolidated financial statements incorporated therein, such associated liabilities and costs are unlikely to cause a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that shown on the consolidated financial statements as at, and for the fiscal year ended, December 31, 2014, provided that the inclusion of such exception does not indicate that any such matter will cause such a material adverse change.

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

Section 8.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 8.07, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 8.02 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.03 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.04 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 6.01 and Section 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.05 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under, or based upon, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.06 Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), from and against such Lender’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the 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, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.06 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a third party.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) For purposes of this Section 8.06, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (or prior to the Closing Date, Term Loan Commitments) outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.06 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

Section 8.07 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Company’s approval, whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the former Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligations provided in Section 10.12, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 8.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Section 8.09 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Commitments as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 8.10 Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that no syndication agent, documentation agent or any other Lender designated as any other type of agent (other than administrative agent) on the signature pages hereof has any liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender.

ARTICLE IX

SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND PARTICIPATIONS

Section 9.01 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the parties hereto and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

Section 9.02 Assignments.

(a) Each Lender may, upon at least 15 Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s), the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by); provided that

(i) prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the following shall be required:

(x) the Company; provided that no such consent is required if an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (e) has occurred or is continuing or for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(y) the Administrative Agent; provided that no such consent is required for an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(ii) parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 payable by the parties to each such assignment;

(iii) each such assignment shall be only to an Eligible Assignee; and

(iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than US$5,000,000, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.07, 2.10, 2.14, 10.04 and 10.06 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations (other than those provided in Section 10.12) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, so long as the Xxxx Credit Agreement remains outstanding, each assignment by a Lender of its Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments hereunder shall be made concurrently with the ratable assignment to the same assignee of such Lender’s Initial Term Loans or Initial Term Loan Commitments, as applicable (in each case under and as defined in the Xxxx Credit Agreement), so that at all times the ratios of (i) such Lender’s Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments outstanding and (ii) such Lender’s Initial Term Loans or Initial Term Loan Commitments (in each case under and as defined in the Xxxx Credit Agreement) to the aggregate amount of such Initial Term Loans or Initial Term Loan Commitments shall be identical.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; (vi) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; and (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Notes subject to such assignment and the fee referred to in clause (a)(ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall (subject to any consents to such assignment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain, at its address set forth on Schedule 10.02, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment(s) of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error, provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) Any Lender may pledge all or a portion of its Advances to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Revenue Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations under the Agreement.

Section 9.03 Participations.

(a) Each Lender may sell (other than to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any natural Person) participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s), and the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment(s) to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) such participation is not prohibited by applicable law. 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 Person acquiring such participation, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Person. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.02; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.14 as if it were an assignee under Section 9.02 and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Effective Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 9.04 Pledge. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this Section 9.04.

Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Note held by such Lender and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided 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 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 10.06 Indemnification by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the respective affiliates of the foregoing and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Party and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Indemnified Party) of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any threatened investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) related to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the Claims of any Indemnified Party to the extent such Claims (i) are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party, (ii) result from a claim brought by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries against such Indemnified Party for material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under this Agreement if the Company or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its or its Subsidiary’s favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) result from a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Company or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party (other than claims against any arranger, bookrunner or agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as an arranger, bookrunner or agent hereunder or any similar role with respect to this Agreement or any Commitments). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.06 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.

Section 10.07 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Section 10.08 Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.09 Special Prepayment Right. (a) In the event that a Change of Control Date shall occur, the Company will, within 10 days after such Change of Control Date, give the Administrative Agent written notice thereof and describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances giving rise thereto, and the Borrower will prepay, if any Lender shall so request, all of the Advances from such Lender plus interest accrued to the date of prepayment and any other fees and amounts as may then be payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement. Said request (the “Prepayment Notice”) shall be made by a Lender in writing not later than 45 days after the Change of Control Date and shall specify (i) the date (the “Special Prepayment Date”) upon which the Borrower shall prepay the Advances made to it, which date shall be not less than 15 days nor more than 45 days from the date of the Prepayment Notice and (ii) the amount of the Advances to be prepaid. In the event of such request, the Commitment(s) of such Lender to make Advances shall forthwith terminate.

(b) On the Special Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall prepay all of the Advances of such Lender made to the Borrower plus interest accrued thereon to the Special Prepayment Date and such other fees and amounts as may then be payable by the Borrower under this Agreement. Payment shall be made as provided in this Agreement.

(i) the term “Change of Control Date” shall mean (A) at any time (i) prior to the Separation or (ii) if the Merger has been terminated or abandoned, at any time, TDCC shall fail to own 100% of the Borrower, (B) at any time following the Separation but prior to the Merger, the first day on which any person (other than Xxxx), or group of related persons, has beneficial ownership of more than 33 1/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Borrower, (C) at any time following the Merger, the first day on which any person, or group of related persons, has beneficial ownership of more than 33 1/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or (D) at any time following the Merger, the date immediately following the first date on which the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the commencement of any period of 730 consecutive days (together with any other Directors whose appointment or election by the Board or whose nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Directors then in office who either were Directors at the beginning of such period or whose appointment or election or nomination for election was previously so approved) shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board at the end of such period; provided, however, that a Change of Control Date shall not be deemed to have occurred under clause (C) hereof if (x) the Company shall have merged or disposed of a portion of its assets in compliance with the requirements of subsection 5.02(c) hereof within 10 days after the acquisition of such beneficial ownership shall have occurred and (y) no person or group of related persons shall have beneficial ownership of more than 33 1/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company after such merger or disposition, and

(ii) the term “voting stock” shall mean stock of any class or classes (however designated) having ordinary voting power for the election of a majority of the directors of the Company other than stock having such power only by reason of a contingency.

Section 10.10 Jurisdiction, Etc.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at the address of the Company specified pursuant to Section 10.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court sitting in New York City. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 10.11 [Reserved]

Section 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly agrees, for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and their Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to any rating agency, or regulatory or similar authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems disclosure necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Company, (h) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, (j) to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry, such information to consist of information customarily provided to such data service providers or (k) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information, including material nonpublic information with the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), received from the Company or its Subsidiaries relating to such entities or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such entities; provided, that such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person customarily accords to its own confidential information; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall attempt to notify the Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Confidential Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is understood and agreed that the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates may rely upon this Section for any purpose, including to comply with Regulation FD.

The Administrative Agent agrees to keep confidential the Submitted Reference Bank Rates to be used in the calculation of the Reference Bank Rate; provided that the Submitted Reference Bank Rates may be shared with the Borrower and any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates that have a commercially reasonable business need to know such rates (provided that, prior to receipt of such rates, any recipient thereof (other than the Borrower) shall (i) certify to the Administrative Agent that it is not an individual who is formally designated as being involved in the ICE LIBOR submission process and (ii) shall agree to comply with the provisions of this paragraph as if it were the Administrative Agent). The Borrower hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date and each date on which it receives Submitted Reference Bank Rates, that it is not an individual who is formally designated as being involved in the ICE LIBOR submission process, and agrees to comply with the provisions of this paragraph as if it were the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reference Bank Rate shall be disclosed to Lenders in accordance with Section 2.08(b).

Section 10.13 Patriot Act, Etc. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each borrower, guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 10.14 Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

Section 10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the actions of the administrative Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

Section 10.16 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and the Credit Parties is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Credit Parties have advised or are advising the Borrower on other matters, and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith and therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor, (b) the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, have an arm’s length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor does the Borrower rely on, any fiduciary duty to the Borrower or its affiliates on the part of the Credit Parties, (c) the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding, and the Borrower understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Borrower has been advised that the Credit Parties are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the Borrower’s interests and that the Credit Parties have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Borrower, (e) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Borrower has deemed appropriate in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (f) each Credit Party has been, is, and will be acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by it and the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any of its affiliates or any other Person, (g) none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to the Borrower or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except those obligations expressly set forth herein or therein or in any other express writing executed and delivered by such Credit Party and the Borrower or any such affiliate and (h) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Credit Parties or among the Borrower and the Credit Parties.

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