CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 19, 2018 among NXP B.V. with its corporate seat in Eindhoven, the Netherlands (the “Company”), NXP FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Co-Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto (each a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), BARCLAYS BANK PLC, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and BARCLAYS BANK PLC, CREDIT SUISSE LOAN FUNDING LLC, BANK OF AMERICA XXXXXXX XXXXX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC. and XXXXXX XXXXXXX SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as joint lead arrangers (in such capacity, the “Joint Lead Arrangers”) and joint bookrunners (in such capacity, the “Joint Bookrunners”).

In consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS.

1.1	Defined Terms. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings specified in this Section 1.1 unless the context otherwise requires:

“ABR” shall mean for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate” at its principal office in New York City and notified to the Borrower, and (c) the rate per annum determined in the manner set forth in clause (b) of the definition of LIBOR Rate plus 1%. Any change in the ABR due to a change in such rate determined by the Administrative Agent or in the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the announcement of such change. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (c) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR, as the case may be.

“ABR Loan” shall mean each loan bearing interest at the rate provided in Section 2.8(a)

“Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness (a) of a Person or any of its Subsidiaries existing at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or (b) assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person, in each case whether or not Incurred by such Person in connection with such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or such acquisition or (c) of a Person at the time such Person merges with or into or consolidates or otherwise combines with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been Incurred, with respect to clause (a) of the preceding sentence, on the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and, with respect to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, on the date of consummation of such acquisition of assets and, with respect to clause (c) of the preceding sentence, on the date of the relevant merger, consolidation or other combination.

“Additional Assets” means:

(a)

any property or assets (other than Indebtedness and Capital Stock) used or to be used by the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise useful in a Similar Business (it being understood that capital expenditures on property or assets already used in Similar Business or to replace any property or assets that are the subject of such Asset Disposition shall be deemed an investment in Additional Assets);

(b)

the Capital Stock of a Person that is engaged in a Similar Business and becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

(c)

Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

(ii)

no Restricted Subsidiary will be required to give a Guarantee if (or to the extent) it is not within the legal capacity of such Restricted Subsidiary or if the same would conflict with the fiduciary duties of their directors or contravene any legal prohibition or regulatory condition or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer or director of such Restricted Subsidiary, provided that each Restricted Subsidiary shall use reasonable endeavors to overcome any such obstacle;

(iii)

the giving of a Guarantee will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect (as reasonably determined in good faith by management of the relevant obligor) on the ability of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise not prohibited by this Agreement; and

(iv)

no action will be required to be taken in relation to the Guarantees when any Lender assigns or transfers any of its participation in this Agreement to a new Lender.

reinstate the assets subject to such sale, casualty event or condemnation (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Subsidiary with Net Available Proceeds received by any Borrower or another Subsidiary) no later than the date that is six months from the date of such sale, casualty event or condemnation and (y) no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time such Net Available Proceeds are received, such sale, casualty event or condemnation shall not be deemed to constitute an Asset Disposition, except to the extent such proceeds thereof are not so used within such six month period, after which time such sale, casualty event or condemnation, to such extent, shall be deemed an Asset Disposition.

“Assignment and Acceptance” shall mean an assignment and acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit A.

“Associate” means (a) any Person engaged in a Similar Business of which the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries are the legal and beneficial owners of between 20% and 50% of all outstanding Voting Stock and (b) any joint venture entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c)

The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.7(b), in which Register shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the relevant Borrower of such Loan, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the relevant Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)

The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of a Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6

Conversions and Continuations. (a) The Company shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period, provided that (i) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Company by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s notice in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans) prior written notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans or are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

(b)

If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans denominated and the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, a Borrower has failed to specify a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. If a Borrower requests the conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

2.7

Funding of Borrowings. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder, and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.

2.8

Interest. (a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the aggregate of the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b)

The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the aggregate of the Applicable LIBOR Margin in effect from time to time and the relevant LIBOR Rate.

(c)

[reserved].

(d)

If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal on any Loan, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8 (a) or (b), as applicable, plus 2%, in each case from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(e)

Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of the borrowing thereof to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) on in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (ii) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(f)

All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(g)

[reserved].

(h)

The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Loans, shall promptly notify the Company and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.9

Interest Periods. At the time the Company gives a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Company shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice the Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing, which

Interest Period shall, at the option of the Company, be a period commencing on the date of Borrowing specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion or Continuation and ending one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months thereafter, or such shorter period as the Borrowers may elect in the applicable notice, provided that the initial Interest Period may be for a period less than one month if agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans on the Closing Date may have an Interest Period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last Business Day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a)

the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b)

if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(c)

if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(d)

the Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date; and

(e)

after giving effect to all the initial borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to LIBOR Loans.

2.10

Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)

on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant currency in the Relevant Interbank Market for a period equivalent to the relevant Interest Period or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the Relevant Interbank Market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii)

at any time, that such Lender shall incur any increase in the cost to such Lender or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder in connection with making or agreeing to make, funding or maintaining, LIBOR Loans or its Commitment hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to Taxes) because of (x) any Change in Law, such as, for example, without

limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the Relevant Interbank Market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii)

at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan or its Commitment hereunder has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such Law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof that materially and adversely affects the Relevant Interbank Market; (such Loans, “Impacted Loans”), then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Company and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred, converted or continued (as applicable) shall be deemed rescinded by the Company (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Company shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Company by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in Section 2.10(a)(i)(x), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (x) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, (2) the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof.

(b)

At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the relevant Borrowers may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan has been requested pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation but has not been made, converted or continued (as applicable), cancel said Borrowing, conversion or continuation (as applicable) by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that the Company was notified by a Lender pursuant to 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii); or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding (x) upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans), require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan if such conversion would overcome the illegality and each Loan so converted shall, unless already denominated in US Dollars, be redenominated into US Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate, (y) prepay the affected LIBOR Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loan to such date, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loan, or (z) cause any affected Lender to assign the affected or LIBOR Loans to another Lender or to another bank or institution willing to accept such assignment (which assignment shall be subject to and in compliance with Section 13.7) to the extent any such affected Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the relevant LIBOR Loans until such time as such assignment becomes effective in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 2.11. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any assignment pursuant to sub-clause (z). If more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c)

If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable Law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any Change in Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, any central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or liquidity occurring after the Closing Date, of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent or its Affiliates for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation for such reduction except to the extent resulting from the adoption of any applicable Law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any Change in Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, the

National Association of Insurance Commissioners, any central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, after the date hereof and (ii) a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation to the extent such Lender is not generally imposing such charges on, or requesting such compensation from, borrowers (similarly situated to the Company) under syndicated credit facilities. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) promptly following receipt of such notice.

(d)

It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to Excluded Taxes and shall apply without duplication to Section 5.4.

2.11

Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by a Borrower to or for the account of a Lender, or is converted or continued, other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.8, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing or as a result of the operation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or as a result of the operation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or as a result of the operation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan or is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2 or as a result of the operation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, (f) other than with respect to an assignment of Loans of a Defaulting Lender, any assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 13.8(a), the Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 2.11, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan made by it by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the Relevant Interbank Market in the relevant currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.

2.12

Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its branches or Affiliates, provided that such designation or assignment is made on such terms that would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b), 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, and that, in such Lender’s judgment, cause such Lender and its lending

office suffer no economic (including becoming subject to any unreimbursed cost or expense), legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

(b) Each Lender may from time to time change its lending office by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, effective within five Business Days after notice thereof.

2.13

Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

2.14	Defaulting Lenders.

(a)

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

(i)

Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 13.1.

(ii)

Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.11 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)

Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected

parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

3.	[RESERVED]

4.	FEES; COMMITMENTS

4.1	Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the fees and expenses in respect of the performance of such role as may be separately agreed from time to time.

5.	PAYMENTS

5.1

Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time, to prepay Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Company shall give the Administrative Agent and at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans the specific Borrowing(s) to be prepaid, which notice shall be given by such Borrower no later than in the case of LIBOR Loans, 10:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to, the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders; (b) each partial prepayment of any LIBOR Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 and each partial prepayment of ABR Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000 or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding, provided that no partial prepayment of Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount, and (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the relevant Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Lenders’ participation in each such Loan pro rata, provided that, at the Company’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender (provided, further, that, in the case of any Lenders that are Affiliates of other Lenders, such Lenders may allocate such prepayments among such Lenders as such Lenders determine in their discretion).

5.2

Mandatory Prepayment. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent no later than the date that is three Business days following the receipt of any Net Debt Proceeds (including into escrow), Net Equity Proceeds or Net Available Proceeds. No later than the date that is five Business days following the receipt of any Net Debt Proceeds, Net Equity Proceeds or Net Available Proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding Loans by an amount equal to 100% of such Net Debt Proceeds, Net Equity Proceeds or Net Available Proceeds, as applicable. All mandatory prepayments under this Section 5.2 will be applied without penalty or premium and will be applied pro rata among the Loans of the Lenders (provided that, in the case of any Lenders that are Affiliates of other Lenders, such Lenders may allocate such reductions or prepayments, as the case may be, among such Lenders as such Lenders determine in their discretion).

5.3

Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by each Borrower in the Base Currency, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Company, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in such Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b)

Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees (as the case may be) at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4

Net Payments. (a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if a Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4), the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the after tax sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the relevant Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by a Credit Party, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Credit Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt in such form as provided in the ordinary course by the relevant Governmental Authority and as is reasonably available to the relevant Credit Party (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof.

(b)

Each Credit Party shall pay and shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless, on an after tax basis, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority) with regard to any Other Taxes.

(c)

Each Credit Party shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless, on an after tax basis, the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) 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. Upon the request of the Company, such Administrative Agent, or a Lender must provide details

of how it calculated the amount of Indemnified Taxes for which it claimed liability under this Section 5.4. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Credit Party by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

Each Lender shall to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

(i)

upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two copies of any certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Lender or make any declaration of similar claim or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, which is required by a statute, regulation or administrative practice of a relevant Governmental Authority as a precondition to exemption from all or a part of any Taxes, assessment or other governmental charge; and

(ii)

deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to any Borrower;

unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.7 or a Lender pursuant to Section 13.7 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(e)

If a Credit Party determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder or any other Credit Document, the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with such Credit Party in challenging such taxes at such Credit Party’s expense if so requested by such Credit Party. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of, or determines that a Tax Credit is available to it with respect to, a tax for which a payment has been made by a Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement, which refund or Tax Credit in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Credit Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse such Credit Party for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund or Tax Credit as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required. A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall claim any refund or Tax Credit that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither the Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the any Credit Party in connection with this clause (e) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(f)

The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

5.5 Computations of Interest. Interest on LIBOR Loans, and, except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the prime rate and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

5.6	Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a)

No Payment shall exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(b)

Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If a Borrower is not obliged to make a payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), such Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

(c)

Adjustment if any Payment exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any applicable Law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the beginning of the relevant Interest Period or, in the case of ABR Loans, the relevant date, the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from any Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable Law, rule or regulation, then such Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to such Borrower.

5.7	Currency Indemnity.

(a)

If any sum due from a Credit Party under the Credit Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of: (i) making or filing a claim or proof against that Credit Party; (ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings, in either case that Credit Party shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

(b)

Each Credit Party waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Credit Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

(h)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the Exchange Rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(i)

The Company may elect irrevocably to convert all Euro-denominated restrictions into US Dollar-denominated restrictions at the applicable spot rate of exchange prevailing on the date of such election, and all references in this Agreement to determining Euro equivalents and Euro amounts shall apply mutatis mutandis as though referring to US Dollars).

(i)

the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and

(i)

Restricted Payments;

(ii)

(ix)

any transaction in the ordinary course of business between or among the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company or an Associate or similar entity that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any Permitted Holder owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Affiliate, Associate or similar entity; and

(x)

(A) issuances or sales of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock or Designated Preference Shares) of the Company or options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock or Subordinated Shareholder Funding; provided that the interest rate and other financial terms of such Subordinated Shareholder Funding are approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors in their reasonable determination and (B) any amendment, waiver or other transaction with respect to any Subordinated Shareholder Funding in compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(A)

the other Person is the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is Guarantor or becomes a Guarantor concurrently with the transaction; or

(B)

(i) either (x) a Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party; and

(1)

immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; or

(C)

the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise not prohibited by this Agreement.

12.

THE AGENTS

12.1

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

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no obligations, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 12. Without limitation of the foregoing, no Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Bookrunner in its capacity as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Credit Party or any other Person.

(c)

Each Lender confirms that each of any Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent has authority to accept on its behalf (and ratifies the acceptance on its behalf of any letters or reports already accepted by the Joint Lead Arranger or Administrative Agent) the terms of any reliance letter or engagement letters relating to any reports or letters provided by accountants in connection with the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated in the Credit Documents and to bind it in respect of those reports or letters and to sign such letters on its behalf and further confirms that it accepts the terms and qualifications set out in such letters.

12.2

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

12.3

Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrowers, any Guarantor, any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure of the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

12.4

Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit 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 that 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 and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such greater number or percentage of Lenders as may be expressly required by this Agreement in any instance), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

12.5

Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless it has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

12.6

Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender

represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of such Agent any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliate.

12.7

Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Loans of all Lenders in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Loans of all Lenders in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s (i) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) material breach of the obligations of such Agent under the terms of this Agreement by such Agent as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; it being acknowledged and agreed that no action taken in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall constitute gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or a material breach. The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive termination of the Commitment, the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

12.8

Agents in their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, any Guarantor, and any other Credit Party as though it were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

12.9

Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent which successor agent shall be approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), (b) or (g) (with respect to a Borrower) is continuing. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is twenty (20) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor (or upon the Lenders assuming such role as provided above) and upon the execution and filing or recording of such instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, as the Required Lenders may request, in order to ensure that the requirements set forth in Section 9.11 are satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

12.10

Withholding Tax and Deductions. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by a Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

12.11

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 Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any 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 Loans 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 Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1 and 13.6) 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, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.1 and 13.6.

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 rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

12.12

Right to Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights, and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof.

13.

(a) The Company and the Co-Borrower jointly and severally agree (i) to pay or reimburse the Agents, Arrangers and Lenders for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred after the Closing Date in connection with any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection therewith including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and each Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to each Lender and the Agents and (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender, Arranger and Agent and their respective Related Parties (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and expenses and other charges of counsel, with respect to the enforcement, performance and (except in the case of each Agent) administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to any violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the operations of any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this sub-clause (iii), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that, in each case, the fees disbursements and charges of counsel all be limited to one primary counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all Indemnified Persons taken as a whole, and, solely with respect to the preceding clause (iii) and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, as reasonably determined by the affected Indemnified Person (based upon the advice of counsel to such Indemnified Party), one additional counsel for each group of similarly affected Indemnified Persons taken as a whole, provided, further, that the Company and the Co-Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender nor any of their respective Related Parties with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent attributable to (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Parties under the terms of this Agreement by such Indemnified Person or any of its

Related Parties as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (C) any proceeding between and among Indemnified Persons and/or their transferees other than in such Indemnified Persons’ capacity as an agent or arranger or similar role other than any proceeding arising out of any act or omission of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts payable under this Section 13.6 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by the Company or the Co-Borrower (as the case may be) of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this clause (a) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, the Co-Borrower, any Guarantors, any equityholders or creditors or an indemnified party or any other person or entity, whether or not an indemnified party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The agreements in this Section 13.6 shall survive resignation of any Agent, the replacement or resignation of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitments and repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 13.6 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)

No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnified Person or any of its Related Parties as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

13.7

Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower or without such consent shall be null and void); provided that a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other similar transaction not prohibited hereunder shall not constitute an assignment or other transfer and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.7. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.7) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) of this Section 13.17, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it) with the

prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Company shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable Law, the Company would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:

(A)

the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Agent, an Affiliate of an Agent (unless increased costs would result therefrom) or an Approved Fund or (y) if an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), (b) or, with respect to any Credit Party, (g) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; and

(B)

the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent or an Approved Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person, Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender. The Administrative Agent shall bear no responsibility or liability for monitoring and enforcing the list of Persons who are Disqualified Lenders at any time. Upon receipt of a list of Disqualified Lenders from the Company (or any updates thereto), the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such list or updates, as applicable, to the Lenders (including by posting to a Platform).

(ii)

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)

except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, and whole increments of $1,000,000, in each case, of, unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B)

each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C)

the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if

previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee, and provided further that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from two or more Approved Funds; and

(D)

the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”).

For the purpose of this Section 13.7(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will at the time of the relevant assignment be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that manages a Lender.

(iii)

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(v) of this Section 13.7, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 13.6). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.7 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 13.7.

(iv)

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(v)

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.7 and

any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 13.7, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. Promptly following any change to the Register, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company an updated version thereof.

(c)

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any natural person, Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) at any time it is a requirement of Dutch law on the date participations are sold to a Participant and the amount of the participations sold hereunder is an amount of less than EUR 100,000 or its equivalent in any other currency, such Participant is not considered to be a part of the public within the meaning of the Financial Supervision Act, which requirement can be considered satisfied, in reliance upon the Explanatory Memorandum to the Implementation Act in respect of Directive 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, until the competent authority publishes its interpretation of the term “public” (as referred to in article 4.1(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 13.2 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.7, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements of those Sections) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.7. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.11(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant

or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) 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.

(d)

Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.7 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, each Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after such Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, such Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at such Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, as the case may be, evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender; provided, further, that any such promissory note shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay for any notarization of any such promissory note.

(e)

Subject to Section 13.19, each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee (other than any Disqualified Lender) any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

13.8

Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) A Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4; (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken; or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, provided that (1) such replacement does not conflict with any Law, (2) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (3) such Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (4) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (5) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), and (6) no such replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b)

If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 13.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Company shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants

such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.7.

13.9	[Reserved].

13.10

[Reserved].

13.11

Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.1(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by a Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

13.12

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “.pdf” via email)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

13.13

Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.14

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b)

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the materials and/or information provided by each Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) (so long as the access to such Platform is limited (x) to the Agents and the Lenders and (y) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.19), (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Holdings, the Borrowers or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).

(c)

Each Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, The Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrowers or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 8.16), (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”; provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to xxxx any such materials “PUBLIC”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent promptly (after being given a reasonable time for review prior to their intended distributions) that any such document contains material nonpublic information: (1) the Credit Documents, (2) any notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities and (3) all Information delivered pursuant to Section 8.16.

(d)

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e)

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of a Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties) gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.22

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

13.23

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

(iii)

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
