Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans on or after the Closing Date and on or prior to the Termination Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The Revolving Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and not less than $10,000,000, or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the Total Commitment.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.16, each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Competitive Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, and each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than 15 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, 11:00 a.m., New York City time, and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, 1:30 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, by 12:00 (noon), New York City time, and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, by 2:30 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to an account with the Administrative Agent designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request, which account must be in the name of the Borrower or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of demand therefor such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day 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 interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

SECTION 2.03. Competitive Bid Procedure.

An Authorized Representative of the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy or other writing transmitted electronically (including in the form of a .pdf attachment) in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, (x) in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing and (y) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided, however, that (i) the failure of the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower has decided to reject a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed (but may be less than) the principal amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, (iv) if the Borrower shall accept a Competitive Bid or Bids made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate but the amount of such Competitive Bid or Bids would cause the total amount to be accepted by the Borrower to exceed the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request, then the Borrower shall accept a portion of such Competitive Bid or Bids in an amount equal to the amount specified in the Competitive Bid Request less the amount of all other Competitive Bids so accepted, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and a greater integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further, however, that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy or other electronic transmission whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(f) If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

SECTION 2.04. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Competitive Borrowing, as to which this Section 2.04 shall not apply), the Borrower shall deliver by hand, telecopy or other writing transmitted electronically (including in the form of a .pdf attachment) to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, signed by an Authorized Representative, and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice by the Borrower, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.04 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Total Commitment at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Termination Date and the termination of the Swingline Commitment in accordance with the terms hereof by making swing line loans in Dollars (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect), (ii) the outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans from any Swingline Lender shall not exceed at any time 50% of the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (iii) the Borrower shall not request, and a Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loans if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loans, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment. At any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date, and until the earlier of the Termination Date and the termination of the Swingline Commitment in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan of such Swingline Lender on the earliest of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the termination of the Swingline Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof and (iii) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

SECTION 2.06. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) In order to request a Borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower shall give the relevant Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). The Swingline Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 or (ii) equal to the then remaining Swingline Commitment available from such Swingline Lender. Each Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date of Borrowing thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to an account with the Administrative Agent designated by the Borrower, in the applicable Borrowing Request, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the applicable Swingline Lender.

(b) Each Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs each Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by such Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder) of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay such Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at such account as the Administrative Agent may designate in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Swingline Lender for application by such Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.06(b), one of the events described in Article VIII(g) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the applicable Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.06(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.06(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans of the applicable Swingline Lender by paying to such Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Revolving Percentage) of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after a Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender, such Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by a Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to such Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by such Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.06(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against a Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.07. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) the outstanding principal balance of each Revolving Loan shall be payable on the Termination Date and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of each Competitive Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Loan shall bear interest from and including the date of such Loan on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.09.

(b) 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 Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid by such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.07 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, subject to Section 10.19(a), a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”) for the period from and including the Closing Date to the latest of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the date the Commitments have been terminated and (iii) the date the outstanding principal of the Loans and the L/C Obligations shall have been paid in full (except to the extent (x) cash collateral shall have been provided in an amount satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender to cash collateralize such L/C Obligations or (y) other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender (such determinations to be made in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender acting in good faith) with respect to such L/C Obligations shall have been made), computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) or, after the Commitments have been otherwise terminated hereunder, the average daily amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, on the Termination Date and on the date the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of each Loan and the L/C Obligations shall have been paid in full (except to the extent (x) cash collateral shall have been provided in an amount satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender to cash collateralize such L/C Obligations or (y) other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender (such determinations to be made in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender acting in good faith) with respect to such L/C Obligations shall have been made, in each case in accordance with Section 3.01(a)), commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Agents or their Affiliates, for their own account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letters at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Agents’ Fees”).

(c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.09. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of each Revolving Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time and (ii) in the case of each Competitive Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Margin offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the fixed rate of interest offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03.

(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of overdue principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.09 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days) equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%.

SECTION 2.11. Alternate Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that (a) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or (b) the rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or (c) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written, telecopy or other electronic transmission notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination (other than any such determination pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, to the extent the circumstances giving rise to such determination would also give Lenders the right to demand additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.15), until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be of no force and effect and shall be denied by the Administrative Agent. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written, telecopy or other written notice transmitted electronically (including in the form of a .pdf attachment) notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) the Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Competitive Loans at the time.

(c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.13. Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Credit Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the day of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to expiration of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to continue such Eurodollar Borrowing with a permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17;

(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (w) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (x) whether such Borrowing is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (y) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (z) if such Borrowing is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion into or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the other Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.13 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.13 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.13 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing. The Borrower shall not have the right to continue or convert the Interest Period with respect to any Competitive Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.14. Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing (other than a Competitive Borrowing), in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written, telecopy or other written notice transmitted electronically (including in the form of a .pdf attachment) (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, telecopy or other written notice transmitted electronically) to the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Borrowing without the prior written consent of the relevant Lender.

(b) In the event of any termination of the Commitments, the Borrower shall repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings on the date of such termination. In the event of any partial reduction of the Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and (ii) if the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the available Total Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.14 shall be subject to Section 2.17 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 2.14 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

SECTION 2.15. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this Agreement the adoption of, or any change in, applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans, Fixed Rate Loans, Letters of Credit or Applications made by such Lender (including, without limitation, any taxes (other than (i) Taxes or Other Taxes which are otherwise covered by the payment of additional amounts or the indemnity set forth in Section 2.21(a) or (c), respectively and (ii) any change in the rate of taxes imposed on, or measured by, the net income of the Lender) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto), and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan, or issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit or Application, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change after the date hereof in any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline (whether such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has been adopted) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto, or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall 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.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company (including the calculation thereof) as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Lender shall be entitled to demand compensation hereunder in respect of any Competitive Loan if it shall have been aware of the event or circumstance giving rise to such demand at the time it submitted the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

SECTION 2.16. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon such Lender shall not submit a Competitive Bid in response to a request for a Eurodollar Competitive Loan and any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be); and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.16, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.17. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder or prepayment or conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.16, that results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Fixed Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor or (iii) any Fixed Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.13) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this sentence being called a “Breakage Event”); provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify a Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender for any such loss or expense (incurred while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender) related to the prepayment or assignment of any Eurodollar Loans owed to such Defaulting Lender. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided in the two succeeding sentences with respect to Competitive Borrowings and as required under Section 2.16 or 2.23, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each continuation or conversion of any Borrowing to a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any portion of the Facility Fees in respect of such Lender’s undrawn commitment with respect to any period during which such Lender became a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender remains a Performing Lender during such period. Each payment of principal of any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For purposes of determining the available Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders that shall not have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

SECTION 2.19. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.04), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Revolving Loan as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Loans, as applicable, of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in Revolving Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Revolving Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Revolving Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Revolving Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.20. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due (provided, that with respect to amounts other than principal of or interest on any Borrowing, any Facility Fees or any fees in respect of Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be paid promptly and in any event within five Business Days of the date when due) in immediately available funds in Dollars, without defense, setoff or counterclaim except to the extent provided in Section 2.18 with respect to Facility Fees owed to a Defaulting Lender. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.21. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.20, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on, or measured by, the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes of this Section 2.21, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lenders in their capacities as such), however denominated (or, for all purposes of this Section 2.21, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04(f), any Transferee) or franchise taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), or branch profits taxes imposed, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) (or, in the case of branch profits taxes only, the Borrower) is organized or has its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, being called “Taxes”), unless such withholdings or deductions are required by applicable law. If any such amounts are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions in respect of Taxes (including deductions in respect of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.21) the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or Transferee), or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender will indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such amounts and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so). 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.

(e) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or Transferee) receives, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.21 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes imposed with respect to the receipt of such refund) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(f) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.21 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(h) (i) Any Lender (or Transferee) 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 (or Transferee), 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 (or Transferee) 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 subparagraph (ii) 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,

(A)

each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(B)

each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) two copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. Federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) The forms required pursuant to this Section 2.21(h) shall be delivered by each Lender (or Transferee) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder), on or before the date, if any, such Lender (or Transferee) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender (or Transferee) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.21(h), a Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.21(h) that such Non U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(i) If a payment made to a Lender (or Transferee) hereunder or under any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender (or Transferee) were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender (or Transferee) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender (or Transferee) has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(j) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, Administrative Agent or Transferee, or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender, Administrative Agent or Transferee pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to Tax existed under applicable laws and regulations on the date such Lender or Administrative Agent became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (j) shall not apply (x) to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower and (y) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (j)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (h) above or (iii) such tax is imposed pursuant to FATCA.

(k) Nothing contained in this Section 2.21 shall require any Lender (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

SECTION 2.22. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.15, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.16 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.15 and Section 2.17); provided, further, that if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or notice under Section 2.16 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.21, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.16, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.21, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.15 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.16 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.21 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.

(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.16 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.21, then, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.13 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.16 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.21, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing, assignment, delegation and transfer.

(c) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any requirement of law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.04 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Defaulting Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.23. Commitment Increases.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may request from time to time that the Commitments be increased in accordance with this Section 2.23; provided that the aggregate amount of all such increases shall not exceed $250,000,000. The Borrower may (I) request one or more of the Lenders to increase the amount of its Commitment (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward to such Lender or Lenders and shall specify the time period within which such Lender or Lenders are requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to such Lender or Lenders); provided that the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender of any such increase and/or (II) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (which consents of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), arrange for one or more banks or financial institutions not a party hereto (a “New Lender”) to become parties to and Lenders under this Agreement. In no event may any Lender’s Commitment be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender. The failure of any Lender to respond to the Borrower’s request for an increase within the specified time period shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender of the Borrower’s request. The Total Commitment may not be increased if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon any request by the Borrower to increase the Total Commitment, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of such request that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the amount of its Commitment hereunder (such a Lender hereinafter referred to as an “Increasing Lender”), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Commitment Increase Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, the amount of the increased Commitment of such Increasing Lender. Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender’s increase in Commitment, Schedule 2.01 shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended appropriately to reflect the increased Commitment. Any New Lender which is willing to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder (and which arrangement to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder has been consented to by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(a)) shall enter into a written agreement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a “New Lender Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, its Commitment hereunder. When such New Lender becomes a Lender hereunder as set forth in the New Lender Supplement, Schedule 2.01 shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the Commitment of such New Lender. Upon the execution by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such New Lender of such New Lender Supplement, such New Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, and its Commitment shall be the amount specified in its New Lender Supplement.

(c) In no event shall an increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of a New Lender become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received favorable written opinions of counsel for the Borrower, addressed to the Lenders, covering such matters as are customary for transactions of this type as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, which opinions shall be substantially the same, to the extent appropriate, as the opinions rendered by counsel to the Borrower on the Closing Date. In no event shall an increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of a New Lender which results in the Total Commitment exceeding the amount which is authorized at such time in resolutions previously delivered to the Administrative Agent become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing the borrowings contemplated pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Borrower. Upon the effectiveness of the increase in a Lender’s Commitment or the Commitment of a New Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and execution by an Increasing Lender of a Commitment Increase Supplement or by a New Lender of a New Lender Supplement, the Borrower shall make such borrowings from such Increasing Lender or New Lender, and/or shall make such prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans, as shall be required to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans owing to each Lender (including each such Increasing Lender and New Lender) to be proportional to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage after giving effect to any increase of the Total Commitment. Any such prepayments of Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to Section 2.17. Any such borrowings, if based on the Eurodollar Rate, shall have amounts allocated to Interest Periods that end on dates that coincide with the end of Interest Periods then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans (notwithstanding the definition of “Interest Period”) so as to cause the amount of Eurodollar Loans to be continued or converted pursuant to Section 2.13 on the last day of each such Interest Period to be pro rata for all Lenders.

SECTION 2.24. Borrowing Notices; Etc. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all notices to the Borrower with respect to any Borrowings or similar administrative or operational notices shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy or other writing transmitted electronically (including in the form of a .pdf attachment) at Waltham Xxxxx, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention of Xxxxx Xxxx, fax: 000-000-0000, email: xxxxx_x_xxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx; with copies to: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, fax: 000-000-0000, email: xxxxxxxx_xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx and Xxxxxxx X.

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT

SECTION 3.01. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.04(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (together with the letters of credit described in Section 3.09, “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day until the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to (and the Borrower shall not request an Issuing Lender to) issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Total Commitment or (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Commitment hereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a face amount of at least $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date. Any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (iii) immediately above except as provided in the following sentence). A Letter of Credit originally issued with a one-year expiry date that occurs on or prior to the latest date specified in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence may provide for a one-year renewal period that expires beyond such date if (x) the relevant Issuing Lender shall have consented thereto or (y) either (A) cash collateral shall have been provided in an amount satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (and in any event not less than the undrawn portion thereof) to cash collateralize such Letter of Credit, (B) other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to such L/C Obligations (such determinations to be made in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender acting in good faith) shall have been made, or (C) such Letter of Credit shall have been returned to the Issuing Lender and cancelled, in each case not later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date. The failure to return any such Letter of Credit that has not been cash collateralized or for which such other arrangements shall not have been made as required by the preceding sentence on or prior to such 30^th day shall be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder. If such cash collateral is not so provided, or otherwise satisfactory arrangements to the relevant Issuing Lender have not been made, such Issuing Lender shall use reasonable efforts (to the extent permitted by the “evergreen” provisions in the related Letter of Credit) to send a non-renewal notice of the expiry date of any such Letter of Credit that has a renewal date falling after such 30^th day (provided that the failure to do so shall not affect the obligations of the L/C Participants in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.04). Any Letter of Credit with respect to which the relevant Issuing Lender has consented pursuant to clause (x) above or that is cash collateralized or for which other satisfactory arrangements have been made as provided in this Section 3.01 shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement effective on the date of termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all outstanding obligations (other than such cash collateralized Letters of Credit or Letters of Credit for which such satisfactory arrangements have been made) and, accordingly, the rights and obligations of the Lenders in respect thereof (including pursuant to Section 3.04) shall terminate.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any organizational documents of the relevant Issuing Lender or any law or regulation applicable to such Issuing Lender.

SECTION 3.02. Procedure for Issuance or Amendment of Letter of Credit. An Authorized Representative may from time to time request on behalf of the Borrower that an Issuing Lender issue or amend a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue or amend any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance or amendment thereof.

In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee at the rate per annum set forth in the applicable Fee Letter or as separately agreed to between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Lender on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date in the case of Letters of Credit issued on or after the Closing Date, or after the Closing Date, in the case of Letters of Credit referred to in Section 3.09.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder) in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by each Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder or, if the Commitment of such L/C Participant has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, such L/C Participant’s Commitment immediately preceding such termination or with respect to any Letter of Credit outstanding on the Termination Date such L/C Participant’s Commitment on the Termination Date) of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid on the date such payment is due, but is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.04(a) is not paid to an Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Facility. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Percentage) of such payment in accordance with Section 3.04(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of any collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Percentage) thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

SECTION 3.05. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes (other than Taxes and Other Taxes which are otherwise covered by the payment of additional amounts or the indemnity set forth in Section 2.21(a) or (c) respectively), fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.09(a) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.10.

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect (provided that the relevant Issuing Lender has acted substantially in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit); or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit, in each case, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Issuing Lender;

(iv) any payment in good faith by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply (but materially complies) with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, in each case, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Issuing Lender; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, in each case, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Issuing Lender.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

SECTION 3.07. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.08. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

SECTION 3.09. Existing Letters of Credit.

To the knowledge of the Borrower, no material claim that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if adversely decided, has been asserted and is currently active and pending by any person (i) alleging that the business of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries as currently conducted infringes the Intellectual Property rights of a third party or (ii) challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

Section 1498 or substantially equivalent law or regulation, to the Borrower’s knowledge, the operation of the businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted do not infringe any valid and enforceable Intellectual Property rights of any third party where a finding of such infringement would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business;

(e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws;

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

SECTION 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any promissory note evidencing Loans as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

SECTION 9.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Revolving Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Revolving Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in its capacity as an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall send a notice of resignation as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under subsection (g) or (h) of Article VIII with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, 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 sending of a notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective on the 30^th day following the sending of such notice (except that in the case of collateral security (if any) held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as the successor Administrative Agent is appointed), and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and of Section 10.05 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

SECTION 9.10. Arrangers, Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent

Neither the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents nor the Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.

SECTION 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (except to the extent (a) cash collateral shall have been provided in an amount satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender to cash collateralize such Letters of Credit or (b) other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit shall have been made (such determinations to be made in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender acting in good faith)) and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.21 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party when such assignments are made in accordance with this Agreement; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, (ii) unless a Competitive Loan is being assigned to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree to a lower dollar amount, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment), (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 from an assignor (except as provided in Section 2.22(c)(v) or in the case of an assignment to a Lender Affiliate) and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.21 and 10.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any assignment by a Lender of rights and/or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and/or obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04. For the purposes of this Section 10.04, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) a Lender Affiliate or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans and Competitive Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, 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, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 4.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 6.04 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; (v) 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; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary, and such entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (any such entity a “Transferee”) in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall keep and maintain a Participant Register in accordance with Section 10.04(k), (iv) the Transferee shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 2.21 (and shall have the duty to mitigate under Section 2.22) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (provided that, unless such participation was consented to by the Borrower, each Transferee shall only be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 2.21 to the same extent as its participating Lender, and further provided that any Transferee shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.21 only if such Transferee complies with Section 2.21(h) as though it were a Lender) and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans or increasing or extending the Commitments).

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, “Company Private”, “Raytheon Private” or “Proprietary”, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.

(i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.03(e), provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender (and, if such Loan is a Competitive Loan, shall be deemed to utilize the Commitments of all the Lenders) to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the related Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or in Section 10.16, any SPC may (x) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans and (y) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(k) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a “book entry” register (as described in the applicable United States Federal income tax law and United States Treasury regulations) on which it records the name and address of the proposed Transferee and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such proposed Transferee’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). 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 and as having “ownership of an interest” (as such term is defined in the applicable Treasury regulations) for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Transferee or any information relating to a Transferee’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent 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.

SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees (i) to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and the Arrangers in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and

disbursements of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Agents and (ii) to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, either Arranger or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Agents, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for any Agent or any Lender. The Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse out-of-pocket legal expenses pursuant to the preceding sentence for more than one law firm for the Agents incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement or in connection with any particular amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Arranger and each Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set off. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.07. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or the payment of any Facility Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, or extend the maturity date of any Letter of Credit to a date after the Termination Date (except as provided in Section 3.01(a)), without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Facility Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.18, the last sentence of Section 3.01(a), the provisions of Section 10.04(i), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall (A) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (B) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Issuing Lender or (C) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Swingline Lender.

SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Fee Letters constitute the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission (including in the form of a .pdf attachment) shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (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 County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. 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 any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 in any New York State or Federal court. 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.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

SECTION 10.16. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to keep confidential (and to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Affiliate shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives as need to know such Information, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, self-regulatory authority or examining authority, (c) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder, (e) to the extent permitted by Section 10.04(g), or (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all financial statements, certificates, reports, agreements and information (including all analyses, compilations and studies prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender based on any of the foregoing) that are received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary and related to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any employee, customer or supplier of the Borrower, other than any of the foregoing that were available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure thereto by the Borrower, and which are in the case of Information provided after the date hereof, clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential, “Company Private” or “Proprietary”. The provisions of this Section 10.16 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.17. Waiver and Consent of the Existing Credit Agreements. Each Lender (a) which is a Lender (as defined under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement) under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement hereby (i) waives the requirement of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 of the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement that termination of Commitments (as defined under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement) and prepayments of Loans (as defined under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement), respectively, may only be made upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice and (ii) consents to the Borrower prepaying the Loans (as defined under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement) and terminating the Commitments (as defined under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement) under the Existing Two-Year Credit Agreement on the date of effectiveness of this Agreement and (b) which is a Lender (as defined under the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement) under the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement hereby (i) waives the requirement of Sections 2.12 and 2.14 of the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement that termination of Commitments (as defined under the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement) and prepayments of Loans (as defined under the Three-Year Existing Credit Agreement), respectively, may only be made upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice and (ii) consents to the Borrower prepaying the Loans (as defined under the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement) and terminating the Commitments (as defined under the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement) under the Existing Three-Year Credit Agreement on the date of effectiveness of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.18. USA PATRIOT ACT. 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 the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 10.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by such Lender, and (ii) its L/C Exposure for which it has provided cash collateral;

(b) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.08); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article VIII for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding; provided that the amount so cash collateralized (or the appropriate portion thereof) shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral, and shall be released to the Borrower, following (A) the elimination of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure with respect to the Letters of Credit or (B) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess cash collateral;

(iii) such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 3.03(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to its L/C Exposure for which cash collateral has been provided by the Defaulting Lender;

(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.03(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.03(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender, and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 10.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e) if (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder arising from either the Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Swingline Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, has actual or potential exposure;

(f) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.06 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, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or participations in Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. 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 or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

(g) in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage; 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of its Loans required to be funded by it hereunder, and which the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any such failure.
