The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits to, this Agreement, (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all real property, tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights, and interests in any of the foregoing, and (f) any reference to a statute, rule or regulation is to that statute, rule or regulation as now enacted or as the same may from time to time be amended, re-enacted or expressly replaced.

Section 1.05 Limited Condition Acquisitions. In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining

(a) whether any Debt or Lien that is being incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted to be incurred in compliance with Section 5.02(b) or 5.02(a), respectively;

(b) whether any other transaction undertaken or proposed to be undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition complies with the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(c) whether the representations and warranties being made in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition are true and correct in all material respects (other than the Specified Representations); and

(d) any calculation of the ratios or baskets, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated EBITDA and/or pro forma cost savings and baskets determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets and whether a Default or Event of Default exists in connection with the foregoing:

in each case, at the option of Xxxx (Dana’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into (the “LCA Test Date”). If, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transaction to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred on the first day of the most recently ended four fiscal quarter period for which financial statements are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.03(b) or (c) prior to the LCA Test Date (except with respect to any incurrence of repayment of Debt for purpose of the calculation of any leverage-based ratio, which shall in each case be treated as if they had occurred on the last day of such four fiscal quarter period), Xxxx or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, such ratio shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if Xxxx has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income and/or Total Assets of Xxxx or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations and such changes will not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any transaction undertaken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition by Xxxx or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries complies with the Loan Documents. If Xxxx has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket with respect to any subsequent transaction, including the incurrence of Debt or Liens or the making of Investments or Restricted Payments or prepayments of Subordinated Debt (any such transaction, a “Subsequent Transaction”) on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, for the purposes of determining if such Subsequent Transaction is permitted, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided that solely with respect to Restricted Payments (and only until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition has been consummated or the definitive documentation for such Limited Condition Acquisition expires or is terminated), such calculation shall also be made on a standalone basis without giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith.

Section 1.06 LLC Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any LLC Division or plan of LLC Division (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

Article II
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

Section 2.01 The Advances. (a) [Reserved].

(b) The Advances. Each Lender severally and not jointly with the other Lenders agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make up to three (3) advances (each, an “Advance”) to the Borrower on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Term Facility Commitment Termination Date (subject to Section 3.02) in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Term Commitment at such time.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of Advances made simultaneously by the Lenders ratably according to the Lenders’ Commitments.

Section 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or (y) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier or electronic mail, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account or such other account as the Borrower shall request.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) the Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than three (3) separate Borrowings.

(d) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any actual loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable 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 subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance or make available on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by it.

(g) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Advance available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate (which shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and comply with all requirements of a Lender hereunder) of such Lender to make such Advance; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation or warranty by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.03 [Reserved].

Section 2.04 Repayment of Advances. (a) [Reserved].

(b) Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding on such date.

Section 2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the Unused Term Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of each Borrowing on the date of such Borrowing and shall be automatically terminated on the Term Facility Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(i), Section 2.06(b)(ii) and Section 2.06(b)(iii).

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions.

Section 2.06 Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent received not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Advances, in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Advance and (ii) that no prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.06 other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of the amounts required by Section 9.04(c) if the applicable Lender has provided the Borrower with adequate notice of the amount of the same. Each prepayment of any Advances pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be applied ratably to such Advances.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) If at any time any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from (x) any Asset Sale (other than any Asset Sale resulting from a Permitted Factoring Transaction), (y) any Asset Disposition other than the Irish Transaction or (z) any Recovery Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries prepay an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and, if no Advance is outstanding or if any such Net Cash Proceeds remain after such prepayment of outstanding Advances, the Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds or such remaining Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable; provided that (A) prepayments and/or the reduction of Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i)(x) shall only be required with Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales occurring on or after the Closing Date in excess of $100,000,000 in the aggregate and (B) prepayments and/or the reduction of Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i)(y) shall only be required with Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions (other than Asset Sales) occurring on or after the Closing Date in excess of $100,000,000 in the aggregate.

(ii) If at any time any Loan Party or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Debt as defined in clause (a) or (c) of the definition thereof (other than any Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)), the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, prepay the Advances in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. In the event that the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds exceeds the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances, if any, the Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of such excess.

(iii) Upon the sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Capital Stock and, without duplication of clause (ii) above, any convertible security (other than an issuance of shares of Capital Stock upon the exercise of warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of such Capital Stock and any sales or issuances of Capital Stock to another Loan Party), the Borrower shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to the excess (such excess being the “Net Equity Proceeds”) of (x) the sum of the cash and Cash Equivalents received in connection with such sale or issuance over (y) the underwriting discounts and commissions, and other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, incurred by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in connection therewith, immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary. In the event that the amount of such Net Equity Proceeds exceeds the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Advances, if any, the Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of such excess.

(iv) [Reserved]

(v) [Reserved]

(vi) [Reserved]

(vii) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and, if any such prepayment is made on a day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of the amounts required by Section 9.04(c) if the applicable Lender has provided the Borrower with adequate notice of the amount of the same. Each prepayment of the outstanding Advances made under this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied ratably to such Advances.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.06(b) to the contrary, to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith and has documented in reasonable detail to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, that any portion of a distribution to any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) and (ii), in respect of Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Subsidiary would (i) result in material adverse tax consequences, (ii) result in a material breach of any agreement governing Debt of such Foreign Subsidiary permitted to exist or to be incurred by such Foreign Subsidiary under the terms of this Agreement and/or (iii) be limited or prohibited under applicable local law, the application of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the Facility pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be deferred on terms to be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that in each case the relevant Loan Party and/or Subsidiaries of such Loan Party shall take commercially reasonable steps (except to the extent that any such steps result in material cost or tax to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) to minimize any such adverse tax consequences and/or to obtain any exchange control clearance or other consents, permits, authorizations or licenses which are required to enable such Net Cash Proceeds to be repatriated or advanced to, and applied by, the relevant Loan Party in order to effect such a prepayment.

Section 2.07 Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time with respect to such Advance, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day following each Fiscal Quarter during such periods and upon repayment of such Advance.

(ii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time with respect to such Advance, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than 90 days, every 90 days from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b) Default Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (f) on overdue principal in respect of the Advances owing to the Lenders, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a) above and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a) and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, on the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Advances.

(c) Notice of Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a) above.

(d) Alternate Rate of Interest.

(i) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Rate Advance:

(A) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be presumed correct absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Advances included in such Eurocurrency Rate Advance for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in .pdf format)) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request for the Conversion of a Base Rate Advance to, or continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance as, a Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be ineffective, and, in the case of any request for the continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto be converted to an Base Rate Advance and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that they have determined, that:

(A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(B) the supervisor for the administrator of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (any such proposed rate, a “LIBO Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBO Successor Rate Conforming Changes (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction in the Applicable Margin); provided, that if such alternate rate of interest would be less than 1% per annum, such rate shall be deemed to be 1% per annum for purposes of this Agreement, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBO Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (A) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Eurocurrency Rate Advance or, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein.

Section 2.08 Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a commitment fee for the account of the Lenders, from the Closing Date in the case of each Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other such Lender which becomes a Lender prior to the Term Facility Commitment Termination Date, until the Term Facility Commitment Termination Date, payable in quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day following each Fiscal Quarter and on the Term Facility Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% on the average daily unused portion of the Unused Term Commitment of such Lender; provided, however, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Duration Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a nonrefundable duration fee (the “Duration Fee”) on each date set forth below in an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.50% and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances or Unused Term Commitment held by such Lender on such date: (x) 90 days after the Closing Date, (y) 180 days after the Closing Date, and (z) 270 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that no Duration Fee shall be paid to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.09 Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advanceand (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If a Change in Law shall (i) result in any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances with respect to its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (ii) subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or Taxes; provided, however, that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost or Taxes that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost or Taxes, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that (i) compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) or (ii) a Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend and other commitments of such type, then, upon demand by such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due (or, in the case of payments made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.01, on the date of demand therefor) in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.

(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to notify the Borrower promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereof) after any such setoff and application shall be made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such charge.

(d) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

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

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

Section 2.12 Taxes. (a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11 or the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. If any Loan Party shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, then (i) the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make all such deductions or withholdings and shall timely pay the full amount thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) except in the case of Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including deductions and withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding been made.

(b) Each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of such Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties shall, within 10 days after demand therefor, indemnify each Lender and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, (ii) without duplication, Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and liabilities delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(f)(ii)(A), Section 2.12(f)(ii)(B) and Section 2.12(f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

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

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

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable 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 law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(g) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), such Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses in securing such refund. The Borrower or other Loan Party, upon the request of such Lender, shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Loan Party or any other Person.

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

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, the exercise of remedies in respect of any Collateral or otherwise (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 2.17(1), 9.04 or 9.07), (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 2.17(1), 9.04 or 9.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 2.17(1), 9.04 or 9.07) in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 2.17(1), 9.04 or 9.07) to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be utilized to provide financing for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurocurrency Rate Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15.

(b) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Lenders and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment as provided in Section 2.08 hereunder or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent and such other Lenders and, if the amount of such payment made by the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any Defaulted Amount then owing to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent; and

(ii) second, to any other Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders.

Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.15.

(c) In the event that, at any time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower or such other Lender shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with CITI, in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be CITI’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, as and when such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder in its capacity as Administrative Agent;

(ii) second, to any other Lenders for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lenders hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lenders; and

(iii) third, to the Borrower for any Advance then required to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and applied by such Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.

(d) In the event that, at any time, any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee or the Duration Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such commitment fee or Duration Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(e) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

Section 2.16 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Advances made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto.

Section 2.17 Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event a Lender (“Affected Lender”) shall have (a) become a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.15, (b) requested compensation from the Borrower under Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes or with respect to increased costs or capital or under Section 2.10 or other additional costs incurred by such Lender which, in any case, are not being incurred generally by the other Lenders, or (c) delivered a notice pursuant to Section 2.10(d) claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurocurrency Rate Advances to the Borrower for reasons not generally applicable to the other Lenders, then (1) the Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of such Affected Lender’s Advances in whole (together with accrued interest to the date thereof on the principal amount prepaid) pursuant to Section 2.06 and reduce the Commitment of such Affected Lender to zero (unless, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Affected Lender of notice from the Borrower that the Borrower intends to prepay and reduce the Commitment of the Affected Lender to zero, in the event that such Lender is an Affected Lender pursuant to (i) clause (a) above, such Lender no longer is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) clause (b) above, such Lender withdraws the request for compensation as set forth in clause (b) above or (iii) clause (c) above, such Lender withdraws the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(d) claiming that such Lender is unable to extend Eurocurrency Rate Advances (as noted in clause (c) above) and extends such Eurocurrency Rate Advances to the Borrower) and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 7.07 with respect to losses, obligations, liabilities, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements for matters which occurred prior to the reduction of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, or (2) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may make written demand on such Affected Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent in the case of a demand by the Borrower and a copy to the Borrower in the case of a demand by the Administrative Agent) for the Affected Lender to assign, and such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign pursuant to one or more duly executed Assignments and Acceptances within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 9.07 which the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have engaged for such purpose (“Replacement Lender”), all of such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, its Commitment and all Advances owing to it) in accordance with Section 9.07. The Administrative Agent is authorized to execute one or more of such Assignments and Acceptances as attorney-in-fact for any Affected Lender failing to execute and deliver the same within five (5) Business Days after the date of such demand. Further, with respect to such assignment, the Affected Lender shall have concurrently received, in cash, all amounts due and owing to the Affected Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that upon such Affected Lender’s replacement, such Affected Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the obligations, of Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid, and shall continue to be obligated under Section 7.07 with respect to losses, obligations, liabilities, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements for matters which occurred prior to the date the Affected Lender is replaced.

Article VII
THE AGENTS

Section 7.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Agents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each of the Agents to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

Section 7.02 Delegation of Duties. (a) Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Without limitation of the provisions of Section 7.02(a), it is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Collateral Agent appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent, collateral sub-agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”).

(c) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article and of Section 9.04 that refer to the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

(d) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Loan Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

Section 7.03 Liability of Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

(b) No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons.

Section 7.04 Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent, as applicable. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the relevant Agent or Agents shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Section 7.05 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to any Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VI; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, it may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, in each case, in consultation with the Lenders, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

Section 7.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 7.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by any Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of each of the Agents. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 7.07 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender, its directors, shareholders or creditors and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

Section 7.08 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. (a) CITI, Barclays, BMO, BofA, CS, GS, JPM and RBC Capital Markets and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Capital Stock in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though CITI, Barclays, BMO, BofA, CS, GS, JPM and RBC Capital Markets, as the case may be, were not an Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, each of CITI, Barclays, BMO, BofA, CS, GS, JPM and RBC Capital Markets and each of their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that each of CITI, Barclays, BMO, BofA, CS, GS, JPM and RBC Capital Markets and their respective Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Advances, each of CITI, Barclays, BMO, BofA, CS, GS, JPM and Royal Bank of Canada and their respective Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include CITI, Barclays, BMO, BofA, CS, GS, JPM and Royal Bank of Canada, each in its individual capacity.

(b) Each Lender understands that the Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 7.08(b) as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Communications) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

Section 7.09 Successor Agent. (a) Each Agent may resign from acting in such capacity upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If an Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, such Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or any other Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.04 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, from time to time, to execute or to enter into amendments of, and amendments and restatements of, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and any additional and replacement intercreditor agreements, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.08 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 9.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 7.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at their option and in their discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 9.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 5.02(a);

(c) to release the Borrower or any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or if all of such Person’s assets are sold or liquidated as permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof are distributed to the Borrower; and

(d) to acquire, hold and enforce any and all Liens on Collateral granted by and of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such other powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (acting on behalf of all the Lenders) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release Liens or subordinate the interests of the Secured Parties in particular types or items of property, or to release the Borrower or any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 7.11.

Section 7.12 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. (a) None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “book runner,” “arranger,” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that each Lender and each Agent is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that any Lender or Agent act or be responsible as a fiduciary to any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. Each of the Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any transactions entered into between them. Each Loan Party also hereby acknowledges that (i) no Lender nor Agent has advised, nor is it advising such Loan Party as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that each Loan Party is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent it deems appropriate and (ii) each Lender, Agent and each of their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with the one or more Loan Party’s interests.

Article VIII
GUARANTY

Section 8.01 Guaranty. The Borrower and each Guarantor, other than Subsidiaries that are Excluded Subsidiaries, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the undertaking by the Borrower and each Guarantor under this Article VIII being the “Guaranty”) the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each of the other Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premium, fees, indemnification payments, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that, endorsements of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in the ordinary course of business are not Guaranteed Obligations for purposes of the foregoing Section 8.01), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties solely in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s respective liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any of the other Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

Section 8.02 Guaranty Absolute. The Borrower and each Guarantor, other than Subsidiaries that are Excluded Subsidiaries, guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or whether any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Borrower and each Guarantor, other than Subsidiaries that are controlled foreign corporations or Subsidiaries of Subsidiaries that are controlled foreign corporations, under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of, and the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any and all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Subsidiary Guaranty or any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any other property and assets of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be (the Borrower and each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Guaranty or any other guarantee or agreement of the release or reduction of the liability of any of the other Loan Parties or any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or by any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 8.03 [Reserved].

Section 8.04 Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property or assets subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

(b) The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Secured Parties which in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, or other rights to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (ii) any defense based on any right of setoff or counterclaim against or in respect of the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s respective obligations, as applicable, hereunder.

The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or may hereafter acquire against any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of its Obligations under this Guaranty or under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against such other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from such other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have expired or terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Borrower or any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, and (b) the Facility Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) the Borrower or any Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties will, at the Borrower or such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower or such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer of subrogation to the Borrower or such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the payment made by the Borrower or such Guarantor.

Section 8.06 Additional Guarantors. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty joinder agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (ii) each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall include each such duly executed and delivered Guaranty Supplement.

This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, and (ii) the Facility Termination Date, (b) be binding upon the Borrower and each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender under this Article VIII or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 9.07.

Section 8.08 No Reliance. The Borrower and each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and the Borrower and each Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Loan Party on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of such other Loan Party.

Section 8.09 No Fraudulent Transfer. The Borrower and each Guarantor which is incorporated or formed under the laws of a jurisdiction located within the United States, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agents and each Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of U.S. bankruptcy laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agents, the Secured Parties, the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will not result in the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower or each Guarantor under this Guaranty constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 8.10 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 8.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.10, or otherwise under this Guaranty, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 8.10 shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with Section 8.07. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 8.10 constitute, and this Section 8.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act; provided, that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant swap provider may mutually agree to exclude a Loan Party from the requirement of this Section 8.10.

Article IX

Section 9.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 3.01(a) without the written consent of each Lender;

and provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement or any other Loan Document be amended in a manner which would require the consent of each Lender and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to amend this Agreement or such other Loan Document without the consent of the Lender or Lenders which did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Borrower (such Lender or Lenders, collectively, the “Non-Consenting Lenders”) to provide for (i) the termination of the Commitment of each of the Non-Consenting Lenders, (ii) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions (each of which shall meet the requirements of Section 9.07), or an increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Required Lenders approving such modification or amendment, so that the aggregate value of the sum of each of the Lenders’ Commitments after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the aggregate value of the sum of each of the Lenders’ Commitments immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (iii) if any Advances are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Advances by such new financial institutions or Required Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full the outstanding Advances (including principal, interest, fees and other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents) of the Non-Consenting Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (iv) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate.

No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.07.

No Loan Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into by any Indemnitee without the Borrower’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that such exception shall not apply in the event the Borrower was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to assume such defense or if there is a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Loan Party shall (subject to the exceptions set forth above) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the above. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any security holders or creditors of the foregoing an Indemnitee or any other Person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. No Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). No Indemnitee shall be liable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through an Informational Website or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement.

This Section 9.04(c) and Sections 2.10 and 2.12 shall survive termination of the Commitments and the payment of all other Obligations.

Section 9.05 Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise 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 such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note or Notes (if any) held by such Lender, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its respective Affiliates may have.

(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, provided, that in the case of Section 2.12, such assignee shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, as the case may be.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates and any Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest (other than default interest) on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral or the value of the Guaranties, (vi) each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 to the same extent as if they were a Lender but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant (except to the extent that an entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation) and only if such participant agrees to comply with Section 2.12(f) as though it were a Lender, and (vii) each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

106

(h) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, 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, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender in accordance with Section 9.09 hereof.

The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement or to have any duty or responsibility or to incur any liabilities as a result of a breach of this Section 9.07, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any duty, responsibility or liability to monitor or enforce assignments, participations or other actions in respect of Disqualified Lenders, or otherwise take (or omit to take) any action with respect thereto.

Section 9.09 Confidentiality; Press Releases, Related Matters and Treatment of Information. (a) No Agent or Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (i) to such Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential, need to know basis, (ii) as requested or required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (iii) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking, (iv) in connection with the exercise of remedies and (v) to direct and indirect counterparties in connection with swaps, derivatives or credit default insurance, provided, in the case of clause (v), no information may be provided to any Disqualified Lenders or a person who is actually known by such Agent or Lender to be acting for a Disqualified Lender.

(b) Each of the parties hereto and each party joining hereafter agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of any Lender or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender and without the prior written consent of such Lender or unless (and only to the extent that) such party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such party or Affiliate will consult with the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Each party consents to the publication by the Agents or any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Agents reserve the right to provide to industry trade organizations such necessary and customary information needed for inclusion in league table measurements.

(c) Certain of the Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Agent-Related Persons, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party or Lender or any of their respective Agent-Related Persons arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender.

(d) Each Loan Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for delivery to the Lenders whether by posting to the Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications do not contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of this Agreement) with respect to such Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Lenders and may be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information,” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information.

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

(f) Each Lender acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all Lenders generally. Each Lender that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

(g) Clauses (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 9.09 are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lenders express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lenders hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Agent-Related Persons warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons warrant or make any other statement to the effect that a Loan Party or Lender’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lenders and each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.

109

Section 9.10 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, provide the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by any Agents or any Lender in order to assist the Agents and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

Section 9.11 Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto 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 the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (except as expressly provided otherwise therein) to which it is a party, 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 any such New York State court 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 any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party 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 9.02 other than by facsimile. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

110

Section 9.12 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 9.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDER PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section 9.14 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 9.15 [Reserved].

Section 9.16 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

111

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.16, the following terms have the following meanings.

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
