If any such amount required to be paid by any Foreign Currency Loan Participant pursuant to SectionΒ 2.10(a) is not made available to the applicable Fronting Lender by such Foreign Currency Loan Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Foreign Currency Loan

Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Foreign Currency Loans that are not overdue hereunder. A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any Foreign Currency Loan Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Fronting Lender has made a Foreign Currency Loan and has received from any Foreign Currency Loan Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 2.10(a), such Fronting Lender receives any payment related to such Foreign Currency Loan (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Fronting Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Fronting Lender will, within three Business Days after receipt thereof, distribute to such Foreign Currency Loan Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Fronting Lender shall be required to be returned by such Fronting Lender, such Foreign Currency Loan Participant shall, within three Business Days, return to such Fronting Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Fronting Lender to it. If any amount payable under this paragraph is paid within three Business Days after such payment is due, the Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, which owes such amount shall pay to the Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, to which such amount is owed on demand an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the product of (i)Β such amount, times (ii)Β the Eurocurrency Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is made available to such Lender, times (iii)Β a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any amount required to be paid under this paragraph is not in fact made available to the Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, to which such amount is owed within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover from the Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, which owes such amount, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Foreign Currency Loans that are not overdue hereunder.
(d) In the event that any Foreign Currency Loan shall be outstanding and (i)Β the principal of or interest on such Foreign Currency Loan shall not be paid (x)Β with respect to a payment due on a scheduled payment date, within three Business Days after such date and (y)Β with respect to a payment due on any other date, within three Business Days after the Borrower receives notice of such due date from the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, and, in either case, any Fronting Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a request that the provisions of this SectionΒ 2.10(d) take effect with respect to such Foreign Currency Loan or (ii)Β the Commitments shall be terminated or the Loans accelerated pursuant to SectionΒ 8, then (unless such request is revoked by the applicable Fronting Lender) (x)Β the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the principal of and interest on such Foreign Currency Loan shall without further action be converted into obligations denominated in Dollars based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, (y)Β such converted obligations will bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue ABR Loans and (z)Β each Revolving Lender shall pay the purchase price for its Foreign Currency Participating Interest in such Foreign Currency Loan by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided in SectionΒ 2.10(a) and (b)Β (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly wire the amounts so received to the Fronting Lenders in accordance with their pro rata share). Upon any event specified in clause (ii)Β above, the commitments of the Fronting Lenders to make Foreign Currency Loans pursuant to SectionΒ 2.4(b) shall be permanently terminated. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders to acquire and pay for their Foreign Currency Participating Interests pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.10(d) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
2.11 Prepayments and Commitment Reductions
Β
34
(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans and no later than the time set forth thereof for the relevant Foreign Currency on the Administrative Schedule, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, the Loans to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (and, with respect to Foreign Currency Loans, the Foreign Currency in which such Loans are denominated); provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to SectionΒ 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans (other than Foreign Currency Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(c) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within ten (10)Β Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in SectionΒ 2.11(e); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)Β no prepayment under this SectionΒ 2.11(c) shall be required to the extent that, prior to or after giving effect to the prepayment, the Total Leverage Ratio, recomputed as at the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available and using Indebtedness as of the date of, and after giving effect to, such prepayment, is less than 2.5 to 1.0; (ii)Β within ten (10)Β Business Days after Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in SectionΒ 2.11(e); and (iii)Β in the event Borrower changes its fiscal year, the measurement period for the $5,000,000 threshold shall be the trailing twelve month period ending immediately prior to the commencement of the new fiscal year, and thereafter such new fiscal year, but in no event will Net Cash Proceeds received prior to the Closing Date be counted against the $5,000,000 threshold.
(d) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the 2012 fiscal year, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the excess of (x)Β 50% of such Excess Cash Flow over (y)Β any optional prepayments of the Term Loans during such fiscal year toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in SectionΒ 2.11(e); provided that no prepayment under this SectionΒ 2.11(d) shall be required to the extent that, prior to or after giving effect to the prepayment, the Total Leverage Ratio, recomputed as at the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available and using Indebtedness as of the date of, and after giving effect to, such prepayment, is less than 2.5 to 1.0. Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an βExcess Cash Flow Application Dateβ) no later than ten (10)Β Business Days after the earlier of (i)Β the date on which the financial
Β
35
statements of the Borrower referred to in SectionΒ 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii)Β the date such financial statements are actually delivered.
(e) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to SectionΒ 2.11(b), (c)Β or (d)Β shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with SectionΒ 2.17(b). The application of any prepayment pursuant to SectionΒ 2.11(b), (c)Β or (d)Β shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under SectionΒ 2.11(b), (c)Β or (d)Β shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
(f) If, on any Calculation Date, (i)Β the aggregate Dollar Equivalents of the outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Foreign Currency Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Dollar Equivalents of the outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans does not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit or (ii)Β the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, and the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments for four consecutive Business Days thereafter, then on such fourth Business Day thereafter, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit do not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.
2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term βInterest Periodβ set forth in SectionΒ 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
2.13 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches
Β
36
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a)Β after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b)Β no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. There shall be no more than three Foreign Currency Tranches outstanding in any single Foreign Currency at any time.
2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates
(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Each Foreign Currency Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate.
(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation 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 equal to (x)Β in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y)Β in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii)Β if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder 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 equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i)Β and (ii)Β above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d)Β of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees
(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate or a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
Β
37
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to SectionΒ 2.14(a) or SectionΒ 2.14(c).
2.16 Inability to Determine Interest Rate
If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower in the absence of manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (i)Β in respect of Eurodollar Loans, (x)Β any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y)Β any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z)Β any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (ii)Β in respect of Foreign Currency Loans, (x)Β any Foreign Currency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (y)Β any outstanding Foreign Currency Loans shall be due and payable on the last day of the then-current Interest Period. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility or Foreign Currency Loans, as the case may be, shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments
(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder (other than with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan), each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee, any participation fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.
(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans, pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amounts thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans (other than the Foreign Currency Loans) shall be made pro rata
Β
38
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(d) Each borrowing by the Borrower of Foreign Currency Loans shall be made pro rata according to the Foreign Currency Commitments of the Fronting Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Foreign Currency Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Loans then held by the Fronting Lenders.
(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise (other than in respect of the principal or interest on, or the fronting fee with respect to, the Foreign Currency Loans), shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder on account of principal or interest on, or the fronting fee with respect to, the Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in the relevant Foreign Currency, without setoff and counterclaim and shall be made on the due date thereof to the Foreign Currency Agent, for the account of the Fronting Lenders, at the office, and prior to the time for payment for the relevant Foreign Currency, set forth on the Administrative Schedule. The Administrative Agent or Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i)Β the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii)Β a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lenderβs share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower
Β
39
is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
(h) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to SectionΒ 2.7(b), 2.7(c), 2.10, 2.17(e), 2.17(f), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), (i)Β apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender , any Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lenderβs obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii)Β hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i)Β and (ii)Β above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
2.18 Requirements of Law
(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A)Β Non-Excluded Taxes, (B)Β Other Taxes and (C)Β Excluded Taxes on gross or net income, profits or receipts (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (or, in the case of (i)Β above, of making any Loan), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that any such additional amounts payable under this SectionΒ 2.18 shall be without duplication of amounts to which such Lender may be entitled under SectionΒ 2.19. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
Β
40
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenderβs or such corporationβs capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lenderβs or such corporationβs policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
(d) If by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Closing Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, the funding of any Foreign Currency Loans in any relevant Foreign Currency or the funding of any Foreign Currency Loan in any relevant Foreign Currency to an office located other than in New York shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any applicable Fronting Lender, such Foreign Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency is no longer readily calculable, then, at the election of any applicable Fronting Lender, no Foreign Currency Loans in the relevant Foreign Currency shall be made or any Foreign Currency Loan in the relevant Foreign Currency shall be made to an office of the Administrative Agent located in New York, as the case may be.
(e) If payment in respect of any Foreign Currency Loan shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Closing Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any applicable Fronting Lender, such Foreign Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency is no longer readily calculable, then, at the election of any affected Lender, the Borrower shall make payment of such Foreign Currency Loan in Dollars (based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such payment occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any currency exchange losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
(f) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that (i)Β any claim made by a Lender for amounts payable under SectionΒ 2.18 (a)Β or (b)Β (including, without limitation, in connection with SectionΒ 2.18(c)) or SectionΒ 2.18(e) shall be made in good faith in a manner generally consistent with such Lenderβs standard practice and (ii)Β in the event any of the circumstances of the type described in this SectionΒ 2.18(c), it shall allocate such additional amounts among its customers in good faith and on a non-discriminatory basis. Each Lender further agrees to give prompt notice to the Borrower of its intention to assert a claim against the Borrower under this SectionΒ 2.18 after any adoption or change in any Requirement of Law or other event of which Lender becomes aware. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to SectionΒ 2.18(a) or (b)Β setting forth the basis and manner of calculation for
Β
41
requesting such additional amounts to the extent reasonably practicable, submitted by the affected Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lenderβs intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, and if such Lender notifies the Borrower of such circumstances within 180 days after such circumstances arise, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.19 Taxes
(a) All payments made by any Loan Party under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Taxes other than (i)Β any (A)Β net income Taxes and franchise Taxes (imposed in lieu of net income Taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of such Administrative Agent or Lender being organized or formed under the laws of, or maintaining a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and (B)Β any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located and (ii)Β in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender (other than an Assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under SectionΒ 2.22(b)), any United States federal withholding Taxes resulting from FATCA (including any regulations or official interpretations thereof issued with respect thereto) (the items of clauses (i)Β and (ii)Β are referred to herein individually and collectively as βExcluded Taxesβ). If any Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes (βNon-Excluded Taxesβ) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the applicable Loan Party shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i)Β that are attributable to such Lenderβs failure to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (e)Β or (h)Β of this Section or (ii)Β that are United States withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at or upon the closing of this Agreement), except to the extent that such Lenderβs assignor was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts (taking into account the portion of the Loan so assigned) from the applicable Loan Party with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section.
(b) In addition, the applicable Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by an applicable Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a copy of an official receipt (or certified copy thereof) received by the applicable Loan Party showing payment thereof. If (i)Β the applicable Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which it is obligated to pay pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.19 when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii)Β the applicable Loan Party fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
Β
42
evidence, or (iii)Β any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes on any payments under this Agreement that are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a direct result of the applicable Loan Partyβs failure, in the case of (i)Β and (ii), or any such direct imposition, in the case of (iii).
(d) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent to the extent the Administrative Agent has been reimbursed by a Loan Party for such amounts. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Except as otherwise provided below, any Lender (or Transferee) that is not a βU.S. Personβ as defined in SectionΒ 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a βNon-U.S. Lenderβ) that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. The completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below in this SectionΒ 2.19(e)) shall not be required if in the Non-U.S. Lenderβs reasonable and good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Non-U.S. Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service (βIRSβ) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under SectionΒ 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of βportfolio interestβ, a statement substantially in the form of ExhibitΒ H and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms or other items described in the preceding sentences shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would not be subject (in whole or in part) to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to comply with the applicable reporting or disclosure requirements of FATCA (including those contained in SectionΒ 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, such documentation or certifications prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by SectionΒ 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to withhold or report under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenderβs obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
Β
43
(if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form, certificate or other item to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower makes a payment under this Agreement, or any treaty applicable to such jurisdiction, shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lenderβs judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other item pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to any other amounts paid by a Loan Party as additional amounts pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.19, it shall pay over to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Loan Party under this SectionΒ 2.19 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the applicable Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required by applicable law to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g) The agreements in this SectionΒ shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder; provided, however, with respect to any indemnification or additional payment obligations required of the Borrower as set forth under this SectionΒ 2.19, such obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement only for so long as the relevant statute of limitations period relating to the Taxes to which such obligations relate remains open after such termination.
(h) To the extent reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender (or Participant) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall upon or prior to becoming a Lender (or a Participant) pursuant to this Agreement provide the Borrower and Administrative Agent with two duly completed originals of IRS Form W-9 or any successor form thereto. In addition, each such Lender (or Participant) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.19(h).
2.20 Indemnity
The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a)Β default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into, conversion from or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in
Β
44
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b)Β default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c)Β the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans or replacement of a Lender in accordance with SectionΒ 2.22(b), in each case on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)Β the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii)Β the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this SectionΒ for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lenderβs intention to claim compensation therefor. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.21 Change of Lending Office
Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of SectionΒ 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 2.18 or 2.19(a).
2.22 Replacement of Lenders
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under SectionΒ 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 2.19(a), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)Β would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SectionΒ 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, in the future and (ii)Β would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under SectionΒ 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 2.19(a), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or if any Lender shall not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
Β
45
and subject to the restrictions contained in SectionΒ 10.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i)Β the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii)Β such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii)Β in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under SectionΒ 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to SectionΒ 2.19(a), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
2.23 Defaulting Lenders
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue pursuant to SectionΒ 2.8 with respect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;
(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to SectionΒ 10.1); provided, that this clause (b)Β shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;
(c) if any Foreign Currency Loans, Swingline Loans or L/C Obligations are outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all or any part of the Swingline Loans, L/C Obligations and Foreign Currency Participating Interest of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (x)Β the sum of all non-Defaulting Lendersβ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lenderβs Swingline Loans, L/C Obligations and Foreign Currency Participating Interest does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lendersβ Revolving Commitments and (y)Β no Default or Event of Default exists at such time;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i)Β above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x)Β first, prepay such Swingline Loans, (y)Β second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrowerβs obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lenderβs L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i)Β above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the last paragraph of SectionΒ 8 for so long as the circumstances giving rise to such obligation to provide such cash collateral remain relevant and (z)Β third, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Fronting Lenders, only the Borrowerβs obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i)Β above) for so long as the circumstances giving rise to such obligation to provide such cash collateral remain relevant
Β
46
(which cash collateralization requirement shall be satisfied by the Borrower depositing such cash collateral into an account opened by the Administrative Agent);
(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii)Β above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lenderβs L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;
(iv) if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i)Β above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to SectionΒ 2.8 and SectionΒ 3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lendersβ Revolving Percentages;
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs L/C Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i)Β or (ii)Β above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under SectionΒ 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs L/C Obligations that have not been reallocated or cash collateralized shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
(vi) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest pursuant to clause (ii)Β above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 2.8(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest during the period such Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest is cash collateralized;
(vii) if the Foreign Currency Participating Interests of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i)Β above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to SectionΒ 2.8(d) shall be readjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lendersβ Revolving Percentages; and
(viii) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i)Β or (ii)Β above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Fronting Lenders or any other Lender hereunder, the fee payable under SectionΒ 2.8(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest that has not been reallocated or cash collateralized shall be payable to the Fronting Lenders on a pro rata basis according to their Foreign Currency Commitments until and to the extent that such Foreign Currency Participating Interest is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lenderβs then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with SectionΒ 2.23(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with SectionΒ 2.23(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and
(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Fronting Lender shall be required to fund any Foreign Currency Loan unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lenderβs Foreign Currency Participating Interest will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with SectionΒ 2.23(c).
Β
47
If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Revolving Lender shall occur following the Closing Date and for so long as such event shall continue, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, no Fronting Lender shall be required to fund any Foreign Currency Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender, such Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender, such Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, each Fronting Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Loans, Foreign Currency Participating Interests and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lenderβs Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans (other than Swingline Loans and Foreign Currency Loans) and the Foreign Currency Participating Interests of other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans or Foreign Currency Participating Interests, as the case may be, in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.
2.24 Incremental Facility
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time request Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount at such time from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in their own discretion; provided, that no Lender will be required to participate in any Incremental Facility without its consent and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent (solely to the extent the Administrative Agentβs consent would otherwise be required for an assignment to such Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Revolving Lender, as applicable, in accordance with SectionΒ 10.6 hereof) and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Lenders only, the Issuing Lender. Such notice shall set forth (i)Β the amount of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be (1)Β with respect to Incremental Term Loans, in minimum increments of $10,000,000, (2)Β with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, in minimum increments of $5,000,000 or (3)Β equal to the remaining Incremental Amount at such time), (ii)Β the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such Incremental Term Loans are requested to be made and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments are requested to become effective (the βIncreased Amount Dateβ) pursuant to an Incremental Facility Activation Notice, (iii)Β in the case of Incremental Term Loans, whether such Incremental Term Loans are to be on the same terms as the outstanding Term Loans or with terms different from the outstanding Term Loans, (iv)Β the use of proceeds for such Incremental Term Loan and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment and (v)Β pro forma financial calculations demonstrating compliance with the requirements under clause (iii)Β of SectionΒ 2.24(c).
(b) The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loans of such Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Lender. If at the time of any Incremental Revolving Commitments the Revolving Commitments are still in effect, the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be on terms and
Β
48
pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Commitments. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement relating to Incremental Term Loans shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder; provided that (i)Β the maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the maturity date for the existing Term Loans, (ii)Β the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans, (iii)Β if the total yield in respect of any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the total yield for the existing Term Loans by more than Β 1/2 of 1% (it being understood that any such excess may take the form of original issue discount (βOIDβ), with OID being equated to the interest rates in a manner reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), the Applicable Margin for the existing Term Loans shall be increased so that the total yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans is no more than Β 1/2 of 1% higher than the total yield for the existing Term Loans; provided that, in determining the interest rate margins applicable to any Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans (x)Β any OID and upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) but excluding any arrangement, underwriting or similar fee paid to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers under any Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest rate and (y)Β the excess of any Eurodollar Rate βfloorβ over three-month Eurodollar Rate and the excess of any ABR βfloorβ over the ABR, in each case without duplication as of the date of drawing of such Incremental Term Loans (disregarding such βfloorsβ in determining the three-month Eurodollar Rate and ABR on such date), shall be equated to interest margin on the Incremental Term Loans, (iv)Β the Incremental Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the existing Term Loans and (v)Β to the extent the terms or documentation for Incremental Term Loans are not consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses (i)Β through (iii)) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrowerβs consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto without their consent.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan may be made and no Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective under this SectionΒ 2.24 unless (i)Β on the date on which such Loan is made or the date of such effectiveness and after giving effect to the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans requested to be made on such date, the conditions set forth in SectionΒ 5.2 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (ii)Β the Administrative Agent shall have received board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation as may be required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement which, to the extent required, shall be consistent with the related documentation delivered on the Closing Date under SectionΒ 5.1 and such additional documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bring downs) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure that the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans are secured by the Collateral ratably with the existing Term Loans and Revolving Loans, and (iii)Β the Borrower and its Subsidiaries would be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the financial covenants set forth in SectionΒ 7.1 recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available, after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans and/or Loans to be made as of such date under the Incremental Revolving Commitment and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date.
Β
49
(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans, when originally made, are included in each borrowing of outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis, that each Incremental Term Lender and each Incremental Revolving Lender shall be included in the definitions of Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders, and the Borrower agrees that SectionΒ 2.12 shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Revolving Facility shall be increased in an amount equal to the aggregate Incremental Revolving Commitments.
2.25 Foreign Exchange Rate
(a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each applicable non-Dollar currency, provided that, upon receipt of a borrowing notice pursuant to SectionΒ 2.5(b), the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Foreign Currency on the related Calculation Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with SectionΒ 2.4(b) with respect to such borrowing notice). The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a βReset Dateβ), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than SectionΒ 10.17 and any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and any non-Dollar currency.
(b) No later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of (i)Β the principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any Foreign Currency Loans to be made or repaid on such date) and (ii)Β the L/C Obligations denominated in any Acceptable Currency then outstanding.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Fronting Lenders of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 L/C Commitment
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in SectionΒ 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (βLetters of Creditβ) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i)Β the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii)Β the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i)Β be denominated in Dollars or another Acceptable Currency and (ii)Β expire no later than the earlier of (x)Β the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y)Β the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that (1)Β any Letter of Credit may have an expiry date later than the date referred to in clause (y)Β above if no later than the 30th day prior to the Revolving Termination Date (or for any Letters of Credit issued after such date, the date of issuance), the Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and (2)Β any Letter of Credit with a one-year term
Β

may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y)Β above (or, as long as the requirements under clause (1)Β are satisfied, the first anniversary of the Revolving Termination Date)).
(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
(c) The parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit will automatically, without any further action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder issued hereunder on the Closing Date for the account of the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing (i)Β each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the L/C Obligations, (ii)Β all liabilities of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations and (iii)Β each Lender shall have reimbursement obligations with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit as provided in SectionΒ 3.4.
3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit
The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information reasonably relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3 Fees and Other Charges
(a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125%Β per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
3.4 L/C Participations
(a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably
Β
51
agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participantβs own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participantβs Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lenderβs obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lenderβs address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participantβs Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participantβs obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i)Β any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii)Β the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in SectionΒ 5, (iii)Β any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv)Β any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v)Β any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i)Β such amount, times (ii)Β the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii)Β a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to SectionΒ 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with SectionΒ 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower
If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the draft so paid not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i)Β the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii)Β if clause (i)Β above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available
Β
52
funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with this Agreement that such payment be financed with an ABR Loan Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowerβs obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x)Β until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, SectionΒ 2.14(b) and (y)Β thereafter, SectionΒ 2.14(d). Borrower shall promptly reimburse Issuing Lender for any taxes, fees, charges or other reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the payment of a draft under a Letter of Credit which are then invoiced and supported in reasonable detail.
3.6 Obligations Absolute
The Borrowerβs obligations under this SectionΒ 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowerβs Reimbursement Obligations under SectionΒ 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lenderβs failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
3.7 Letter of Credit Payments
If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8 Applications
Β
53
To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this SectionΒ 3, the provisions of this SectionΒ 3 shall apply.
3.9 Cash Collateralization. If on any date the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Commitment, then the Borrower shall within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
3.10 Currency Adjustments. (a)Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fee in respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars into an amount of Dollars based upon the Exchange Rate.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SectionΒ 3, prior to demanding any reimbursement from the L/C Participants pursuant to subsection 3.4 in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Issuing Lender shall convert the Borrowerβs obligation under subsection 3.4 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars. The Dollar amount of the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower and the L/C Participants shall be computed by the Issuing Lender based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
3.11 Replacement of an Issuing Lender. An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 3.3. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i)Β the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii)Β references herein to the term βIssuing Lenderβ shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Lender, or such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

4.3 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts
The Transactions (a)Β do not require any material consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b)Β will not violate any applicable law or regulation, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party or any order of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c)Β will not violate or result in a default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any other Loan Party or their assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and (d)Β will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except Liens created under the Loan Documents and Liens permitted under SectionΒ 7.3.

Since MayΒ 31, 2010, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto and except as set forth in any periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Borrower, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as of the

Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification
The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, each Lead Arranger and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an βAgent Indemniteeβ) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemniteeβs gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity
Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms βLenderβ and βLendersβ shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
Β

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent
The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 daysβ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under SectionΒ 8(a) or SectionΒ 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term βAdministrative Agentβ shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agentβs rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agentβs notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agentβs resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agentβs resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this SectionΒ 9 and of SectionΒ 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
9.10 Arrangers, Lead Arrangers, Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent
The Arrangers, the Lead Arrangers, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.

Β
86
(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 (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i)Β the Borrower may not 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 the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii)Β no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an βAssigneeβ) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:
(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person;
(B)Β the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.
(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 or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenderβs Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of the Revolving Facility or $1,000,000 in the case of the Term Facility unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1)Β no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2)Β such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) (1)Β the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2)Β the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent;
(C)Β the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assigneeβs compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;
Β
87
(D) none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may be an Assignee; and
(E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no assignment shall be made to a prospective Assignee that bears a relationship to the Borrower described in SectionΒ 108(e)(4) of the Code.
For the purposes of this SectionΒ 10.6, βApproved Fundβ means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a)Β a Lender, (b)Β an affiliate of a Lender or (c)Β an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraphΒ (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenderβs 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 SectionsΒ 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SectionΒ 10.6 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 paragraph (c)Β of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the βRegisterβ). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assigneeβs completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraphΒ (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)Β of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a βParticipantβ) in all or a portion of such Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A)Β such Lenderβs obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B)Β such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (C)Β none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may be a Participant, and (D)Β the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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
Β
88
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1)Β requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of SectionΒ 10.1 and (2)Β directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the burdens, of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)Β of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SectionΒ 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to SectionΒ 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participantβs interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the βParticipant Registerβ). 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.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SectionΒ 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive (under such Sections and taking into account the portion of the Loan represented by such participation) with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. In no event shall any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender be entitled to any benefits of SectionΒ 2.19 unless such Participant complies with SectionΒ 2.19(e). Any Participant that makes a claim under SectionΒ 2.18 or SectionΒ 2.19 shall also be subject to SectionΒ 2.21 and SectionΒ 2.22 as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder.
(d)Β Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d)Β above.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in SectionΒ 10.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a βBenefitted Lenderβ) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to SectionΒ 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in SectionΒ 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral 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 Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right during the existence of an Event of Default, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, 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, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.
10.8 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
10.9 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.
10.10 Integration
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Β
93

If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the βJudgment Currencyβ) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the βJudgment Currency Conversion Dateβ).
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Loan Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this SectionΒ 10.17, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars.
