Section 2 THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

2.1

Establishment of the Credit Facility.

On the Closing Date, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each LC Issuer agree to establish the Credit Facility for the benefit of the Borrower, provided, however, that at no time will (i) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, or (ii) the Credit Facility Exposure of any Lender exceed the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

2.2

Revolving Facility.

(a) Generally.

During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, each Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time pursuant to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, which Revolving Loans (i) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, or Converted into, Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency, provided that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Revolving Borrowing shall consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, (C) in the case of Revolving Loans to be made as Foreign Currency Loans, the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, or (D) the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(ii) or Section 2.12(b)(iii). The Revolving Loans to be made by each Revolving Lender will be made by such Revolving Lender on a pro rata basis based upon such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each Revolving Borrowing, in each case in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof.

(b) Increase in Revolving Commitments.

The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request (each such request, a “Commitment Increase Request”) that the Total Revolving Commitment be increased by an amount not to exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases from the Closing Date until the Revolving Facility Termination Date, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such Commitment Increase Request and on the date of any such increase. The Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such Commitment Increase Request to each Revolving Lender. The Borrower shall set forth in such Commitment Increase Request the amount of the requested increase in the Total Revolving Commitment (which shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and in minimum increments thereafter of $25,000,000) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which date shall be not less than 15 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and that, in any event, must be at least 180 days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date). Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 20 days after the date of delivery by the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s Commitment Increase Request, either agree to participate in such increase (each such Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any such Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 20 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment and each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). In addition, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Lender”), to commit to making Revolving Loans pursuant to a Revolving Commitment hereunder. If the Borrower so requests, the Administrative Agent shall have the option, but not the obligation, to use its reasonable efforts to arrange for one or more Augmenting Lenders on the Borrower’s behalf. The Borrower and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Augmenting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder. Any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if the Borrower (or if applicable, the Administrative Agent) is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for (or request that the Administrative Agent arrange for), Augmenting Lenders.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any Increase in the Total Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Revolving Facility Percentages. This may be accomplished at the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent: (w) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings; (x) by causing the Non-Increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders; (y) by permitting the Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the time of any increase in the Total Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Revolving Lenders would hold such Revolving Borrowings other than in accordance with their new Revolving Facility Percentages; or (z) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 3.2, but otherwise without premium or penalty.

2.3

Swing Line Facility.

(a) Swing Loans.

During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the Borrower from time to time, which Swing Loans (i) shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable to each such Swing Loan; (ii) shall be made only in Dollars; (iii) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; (iv) may only be made if after giving effect thereto (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding does not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; (v) shall not be made if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof; and (vi) shall not be made if the proceeds thereof would be used to repay, in whole or in part, any outstanding Swing Loan.

(b) Swing Loan Refunding.

The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Loan Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Revolving Lenders and, unless an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(h) in respect of the Borrower has occurred, the Borrower. Each such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates. Each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees (notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 4.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Applicable Lending Office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately available to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates.

If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, any of the events specified in Section 8.1(h) shall have occurred in respect of the Borrower or one or more of the Revolving Lenders shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan under such circumstances, each Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each Revolving Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing Loan Participation Amount”) equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Revolving Lender or each such Revolving Lender so prohibited, as the case may be, shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested by such other Revolving Lender, deliver to such Revolving Lender a participation certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in such Swing Loans and its Swing Loan Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a Revolving Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to such Revolving Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Facility Percentage of such amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(d) Obligations Unconditional.

Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations in connection with a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Revolving Lender shall have received a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were made, the Swing Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against any other Lender, any Credit Party, or any other Person, or any Credit Party may have against any Lender or other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect: (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.4

(a) LC Issuances.

Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any eligible LC Obligor, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) which, if in the form of written notice, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (each such request, a “LC Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer), prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant LC Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Letter of Credit for an account party other than the Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement with respect to. such Letter of Credit).

If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable LC Request, each LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date: provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such LC Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received written notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is not then satisfied.

(d) Applicability of ISP98.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable LC Issuer and the applicable LC Obligor, when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit.

(e) Notice of LC Issuance.

Each LC Issuer shall, on the date of each LC Issuance by it, give the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender and the Borrower written notice of such LC Issuance, accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer. Each LC Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Revolving Lender) summary describing each Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate LC Outstandings represented by Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

(local time at the Notice Office) within one Business Day after the payment or disbursement under such Letter of Credit (and the applicable LC Issuer shall give notice to the Borrower (or such other LC Obligor) of such payment or disbursement as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 2:00 P.M.

If by 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day immediately following such payment or disbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, the Borrower or the other relevant LC Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of the Borrower, a contemporaneous Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise available to the Borrower), (x) the Borrower will in each case be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Revolving Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Revolving Lenders shall, in accordance with and subject to Section 2.4(g)(iii) and unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing (which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.2), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to the applicable LC Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement and repayment of the Unpaid Drawing, with any excess proceeds to be made available to the Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) Obligations Absolute. Each LC Obligor’s obligation under this Section to reimburse each LC’ Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such LC Obligor may have or have had against such LC Issuer. the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that no LC Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse an LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.

(g) LC Participations.

(i) Immediately upon each LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each such Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (an “LC Participation”), to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders as provided in Section 2.10 and the Revolving Lenders shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(e)), the obligations of any LC Obligor under any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Revolving Lenders other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability relative to the Revolving Lenders.

(iii) In the event that an LC Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(f), either from available cash on hand or the proceeds of Revolving Loans, such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such payment in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated and in same-day funds; provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Revolving Lender required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such Revolving Lender shall not have so made its Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of any such payment.

(iv) Whenever an LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the Revolving Lenders pursuant to subpart (iii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has paid its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective LC Participations, as and to the extent so received.

(v) The obligations of the Revolving Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(B) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against any applicable LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Letter of Credit;

(C) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.5

Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Time of Notice.

Each Borrowing of a Loan (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below which shall be provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan, 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing, and in the case of any Borrowing under the Swing Line Facility, prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the initial Borrowing on the Closing Date may be a Borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan if so elected by the Borrower so long as (i) the Borrower has provided the applicable notice required under part (b) of this Section two (2) Business Days before the date of such Borrowing and (ii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered a funding indemnity letter to, and in form and substance satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent.

(b) Notice of Borrowing.

Each request for a Borrowing (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower by delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (iv) if applicable, the initial Interest Period or the Swing Loan Maturity Date (which shall be less than 15 days) and the Designated Foreign Currency applicable thereto. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

(d) Maximum Borrowings.

More than one Borrowing may be incurred by the Borrower on any day; provided, however, that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day by the Borrower that consist of Fixed Rate Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial Interest Period, (ii) at no time shall there be more than 4 Borrowings of Swing Loans outstanding hereunder and (ii) at no time shall there be more than 10 Borrowings of Fixed Rate Loans outstanding hereunder.

2.6

Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds.

(a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations.

The Revolving Commitments of each Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and fund Swing Loan Participations, and LC Participations, as the case may be, are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b) Borrowings Pro rata.

Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the Swing Line Lender, all Loans hereunder shall be made as follows: all Revolving Loans made, and LC Participations acquired by each Revolving Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, and held on a pro rata basis based upon each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Borrowing or Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the Letter of Credit is to be issued.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the applicable Lenders written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and LC Issuance, and of each such Lender’s respective proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or LC Request, as the case may be, relating thereto.

(d) Funding of Loans.

(i) Loans Generally. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars or the applicable Designated Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.

(ii) Swing Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of Swing Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing.

(e) Advance Funding.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.2).

(f) Pre-Funding of Borrower Payments.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any LC Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such LC Issuer with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency).

2.7

Evidence of Obligations.

(a) Loan Accounts of Lenders.

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

(b) Loan Accounts of Administrative Agent; Lender Register.

The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate and, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, (ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain, on behalf of the Borrower, a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender or the Borrower upon its request.

The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Notes.

Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, (i) a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender and (ii) a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

2.8

Interest; Default Rate.

(a) Interest on Revolving Loans.

The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by each Revolving Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time and (iii) during such periods as a Revolving Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, the relevant Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate for such Foreign Currency Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Interest on Swing Loans.

The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an Event of Default is in existence, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the LC Fees shall be increased by an additional 2% per annum in excess of the LC Fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(d) Accrual and Payment of Interest.

Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month, (ii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the commencement of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of any Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, and (iv) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans accruing interest at a Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(c), on demand.

(e) Computations of Interest.

All computations of interest on Fixed Rate Loans, Swing Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans which accrue interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

(f) Information as to Interest Rates.

The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Any changes in the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

2.9

Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans.

The Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loans that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, as the case may be, at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Foreign Currency Loan) with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that (A) no Foreign Currency Loan may be Converted into a Base Rate Loan, Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan that is denominated in a different Designated Foreign Currency, and (B) any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans. In addition, notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Base Rate Loan may be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each Fixed Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan (and any such Fixed Rate Loan that is a Foreign Currency Loan shall be redenominated in Dollars at the time of such conversion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b) Notice of Continuation and Conversion.

Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Fixed Rate Loan, prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 1:00 P.M.

Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.10

The foregoing fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

The Borrower agrees to pay directly to each LC Issuer, for its own account, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date, computed at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the Stated Amount thereof for the period from the date of issuance (or increase, renewal or extension) to the expiration date thereof (including any extensions of such expiration date which may be made at the election of the beneficiary thereof).

(d) Additional Charges of LC Issuer.

(vi) Certain Proceeds of Indebtedness. Not later than the Business Day following the date of the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated therewith) from any sale or issuance of Indebtedness (other than the sale or issuance of any Indebtedness pursuant to Sections 7.4(a) through (f) and (h) through (l)) by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. after the Closing Date, the Borrower will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such net proceeds in accordance with Section 2.12(c).

(vii) Certain Proceeds of Events of Loss. With respect to any Event of Loss, if the property subject to such Event of Loss can reasonably be expected to be replaced with substantially similar property or restored to its condition immediately prior to such destruction or damage, as applicable, within 180 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss and no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Borrower or such Subsidiary may elect to use any Net Cash Proceeds received to repair, replace or restore such property by providing the Administrative Agent with a written notice of its election to so repair, replace or restore within 20 days of the occurrence of such Event of Loss, no prepayment of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be due under this Section 2.12(b)(vii) (it being understood that (X) any applicable Net Cash Proceeds not used to so repair, replace or restore such property shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12(c) at the earlier of (A) such time as the Borrower or such Subsidiary decides not to use such Net Cash Proceeds to so replace or restore such property or (B) the 270th day (or such later day as consented to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment) following the occurrence of such Event of Loss) and (Y) any proceeds being held for reinvestment shall be deposited into a deposit account for such purpose which is maintained with a Lender and subject to a Control Agreement and only removed as needed to replace or restore such operating assets).

Each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(iv), 2.12(b)(v) or 2.12(b)(vi) shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans as follows: (i) if, at the time of any such prepayment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans (with no reduction in the Revolving Commitments), or (ii) if, at the time of any such prepayment or after giving effect thereto, any Default or Event of Default exists, such prepayment shall be applied, on a pro rata basis, to the principal amount of the Revolving Loans of all Lenders and to reduce permanently on such basis the Revolving Commitments and the Total Revolving Commitment in accordance with Section 2.12(b)(ii). Any reduction of the Revolving Commitments and the Total Revolving Commitment shall automatically, without further action, reduce by the same percentage the LC Commitment Amount and shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Loans to the extent, if any, that the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceeds the amount of the Total Revolving Commitment as so reduced, and if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrower shall, to the extent of such excess, or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(iii).

(d) Particular Loans to be Prepaid.

With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by this Section, the Borrower shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made, provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Fixed Rate Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Fixed Rate Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Fixed Rate Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans and, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, be repaid in full. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 3.

(e) Breakage and Other Compensation.

Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Section 3 hereof; provided that with respect to prepayments under Section 2.12(b), such Section 3 amounts shall only be payable during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.

2.13

Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Generally.

All payments made by the Borrower hereunder (including any payments made with respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Section 10), under any Note or any other Loan Document, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

(b) Application of Payments.

Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.3, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) all payments or prepayments of Swing Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing Loans.

Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and, except as set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars. With respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, all payments (including prepayments) to any Revolving Lender of the principal of or interest on such Foreign Currency Loan shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Loan and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued in a Designated Foreign Currency, all Unpaid Drawings with respect to each such Letter of Credit shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency in which each such Letter of Credit was issued.

(d) Timing of Payments.

Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 1:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Credit Event in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit Event was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations

(e) Distribution to Lenders.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in any Designated Foreign Currency shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, in such Designated Foreign Currency in same-day funds: provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.3, such funds shall be applied, first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and second, towards payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due to such parties.

2.14

Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a);

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.12); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Swing Loan Participation and LC Participation of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Participation and LC Participation does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Loan and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable LC Issuers only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Participation (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.12(b)(iii) for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Participation pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Participation during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Participation is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the total LC Participations of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Facility Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Participation is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any LC Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Participation shall be payable to the applicable LC Issuers until and to the extent that such LC Participation is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and no LC Issuer shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Participation 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 Section 2.14(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.14(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swing Line Lender or any LC Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and no LC Issuer shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swing Line Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender or such LC Issuer, 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 Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuer each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the total Swing Loan Participations and total LC Participations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage.

Section 3

INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES

3.1

Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis that:

(i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Fixed Rate Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Fixed Rate Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Fixed Rate Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date or the time such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, whichever is later, in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being of a type as to which such Lender customarily complies), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to this Agreement); provided however, that 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 law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in any such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Fixed Rate Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any change since the Closing Date, or the time such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, whichever is later, in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market;

then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Type of Fixed Rate Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to such Type of Fixed Rate Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender, for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.1(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.1(a)(ii) or 3.1(a)(iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) or 3.1(a)(iii), cancel such Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Fixed Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, or, in the case of the affected Fixed Rate Loan being a Foreign Currency Loan, prepay in full such Foreign Currency Loan, provided, however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.1(b)

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date or the time such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, whichever is later, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (i) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, only so long as it its generally applied by the Lender to the Lender’s other customers that are similarly situated) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date or (ii) that shall subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (other than (A) Taxes and (B) income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income by the United States of America, or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which it is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located) on its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, the Borrower shall immediately pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.1(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any period ending 180 days or more prior to the demand for payment of such amount.

3.2

Compensation.

The Borrower shall compensate each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Fixed Rate Loans or Swing Loans and costs associated with foreign currency hedging obligations incurred by such Lender in connection with any Foreign Currency Loan) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Fixed Rate Loans or Swing Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.1(a)); (ii) if any repayment or prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) or Conversion or Continuation of any Fixed Rate Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or any Swing Loan is paid prior to the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Fixed Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.5(b). The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.3

Net Payments.

(a) Except as provided for in Section 3.3(b), all payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Loan Document, including all payments made by the Borrower pursuant to its guaranty obligations under Section 10, will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender and franchise taxes imposed on it pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, as applicable, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, (ii) any branch profits tax imposed on any Lender by the United States or by the jurisdiction of the Lender’s principal office or Applicable Lending Office, (iii) any tax attributable to Lender’s failure to comply with Section 3.3(b), if it is legally entitled to do so, (iv) in the case of a Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), any withholding tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), except to the extent such Lender (or assignor) was entitled at the time of designation of a new Applicable Lending Office or assignment to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to any withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.3), or (v) any withholding tax that is imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). Subject to Section 3.3(b), if any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts (including additional amounts to compensate for withholding on amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.3) as may be necessary so that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount such Lender would have received had no deduction, withholding or payment been required or made with respect to such Taxes. Subject to Section 3.3(b), the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes imposed on and paid by such Lender. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the respective Lender, evidencing such payment by the Borrower.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and that is entitled to claim an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to a payment by Borrower agrees to provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.6 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, and from time to time thereafter if required by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent: two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or successor, substitute or other appropriate forms and, in the case of Form W-8IMY, complete with accompanying Forms W-8BEN with respect to beneficial owners of the payment) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, along with any other appropriate documentation establishing such exemption or reduction (such as statements certifying qualification for exemption with respect to portfolio interest). In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form establishing such exemption or reduction (such as statements certifying qualification for exemption with respect to portfolio interest) and any related documentation as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax if the Lender continues to be so entitled. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative agent, on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.6 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the provisions of this Section) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor, substitute or other appropriate norm prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service). No Lender shall be required by this Section 3.3(b) to deliver a form or certificate that it is not legally entitled to deliver. The Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof to pay additional amounts on account of or indemnify with respect to United States withholding taxes or backup withholding taxes to the extent that such taxes arise solely due to a Lender’s failure to deliver forms that it was legally entitled to but failed to delivery under this Section 3.3(b). The Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and indemnify each Lender in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 3.3(a) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes.

(c) If any Lender becomes aware that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any interest received in respect thereof) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses), provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return any such refund (plus interest) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority and, provided further, that nothing in this Section 3.3(c) shall require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential). Any such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated confidential information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on any Lender to apply for any such refund.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (but, in the case of any Taxes, only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and the Borrower for any excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges described in Section 3.3(a), in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 3.3(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable). Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

3.4

Increased Costs to LC Issuers.

If after the Closing Date or the time such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, whichever is later, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any LC Issuer or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being of a type as to which such Lender customarily complies) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer or such Lender’s participation therein, (ii) shall impose on such LC Issuer or any Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation therein, or (iii) that shall subject any LC Issuer to any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (other than (A) Taxes and (B) income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income by the United States of America, or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such recipient is organized) on its letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such LC Issuer or such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such LC Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges), then, upon demand to the Borrower by such LC Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such LC Issuer or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate any such LC Issuer or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by any LC Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate any LC Issuer or such Lender as aforesaid. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.4 for any period ending 270 days or more prior to the demand for payment of such amount.

3.5

5.3

No Violation.

Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party or its properties and assets, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any material promissory note, bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other material agreement or other instrument, to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party.

Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of Holdings or of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock.

Holdings and its Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans or LC Issuances hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to provide any Lender, with any credit or other information, including without limitation information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties other than as specifically required by this Agreement..

9.7

No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”).

9.8

USA Patriot Act.

Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification. certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

9.9

Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, ratably according to their pro rata share of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure (excluding Swing Loans) (determined at the time such indemnification is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) or such Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Related Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the Borrower, provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any such Related Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

9.10

The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates as though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

9.11

Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders, each LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in New York, New York, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and which maintains an office in New York, New York, or any affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 11.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.12

Other Agents.

Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, any Lender identified herein as a Syndication Agent (or Co-Syndication Agent), Documentation Agent (or Co-Documentation Agent), Lead Arranger (or Co-Lead Arranger), Book Runner or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

10.1

Guaranty by the Borrower.

The Borrower hereby unconditionally guarantees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors, all of the following (collectively, the “Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”): (a) all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of any LC Obligor (other than the Borrower) under this Agreement, and (b) all amounts, indemnities and reimbursement obligations, direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, of every type or description, and at any time existing owing by any Credit Party (other than the Borrower) under any Banking Services Agreement, Designated Hedge Agreement or any other document or agreement executed and delivered in connection therewith to any Designated Hedge Creditor, in all cases under subparts (a) or (b) above, whether now existing, or hereafter incurred or arising, including any such interest or other amounts incurred or arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or subject to an automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). Upon failure by any Credit Party to pay punctually any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower shall forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

10.2

Additional Undertaking.

As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, the Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors that, should any Borrower Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Borrower under Section 10.1 for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other person, at any time, the Borrower, as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Loan Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

10.3

Guaranty Unconditional.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; or

(g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section, all of which the Borrower hereby unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Borrower Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable).

10.4

Waivers.

The Borrower unconditionally waives, to the maximum extent permitted under any applicable law now or hereafter in effect, insofar as its obligations under this Section are concerned, (a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.3, (b) all notices required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any rights against the Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment, proof or notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, notice of acceptance of the provisions of this Section 10, notice of the incurrence of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, notice of any failure on the part of any Credit Party, any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any other Person, to perform or comply with any term or provision of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party or any other Person is a party, or notice of the commencement of any proceeding against any other Person or its any of its property or assets, (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against any Credit Party or against any other Person or any collateral of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, and (d) any requirement that any such Credit Party be joined as a party to any proceedings against the Borrower or any other Person for the enforcement of any term or provision of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 or any other agreement or instrument.

10.5

Borrower Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration.

The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Borrower Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable), and all other amounts payable by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable), shall have been paid in full in cash. If at any time any payment of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Waiver of Acceptance, etc.

The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person.

10.7

Subrogation.

Until the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) and the termination of the Revolving Commitments hereunder, the Borrower shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this section to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof.

10.8

Effect of Stay.

In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrower under this Section forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

Section 11

11.1

Payment of Expenses, etc.

The Borrower agrees to pay all of the following: (i) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arranger in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, administration and execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and the syndication of the Revolving Commitments, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of any individual primary outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arranger plus one additional local counsel in each local jurisdiction as may be appropriate; (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent relating to any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of any individual primary outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arranger plus one additional local counsel in each local jurisdiction as may be appropriate; (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arranger and the Lenders and any of their Affiliates that are owed any Obligations in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of any individual primary counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arranger, plus one additional local counsel in each local jurisdiction, as may be appropriate (and single primary counsel for the Lenders), plus additional counsel in light of actual or potential conflicts of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses; and (iv) any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to any such indemnified Person) to pay such taxes.

11.2

Indemnification.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Co-Lead Arranger and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all actual penalties, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses reasonably incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, or (ii) (A) the presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) the release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) the non-compliance by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries with Environmental Laws (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable thereto, or (D) any Environmental Claim asserted against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, in respect of any such owned, leased or operated Real Property, including, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach in bad faith of the express contractual obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to a claim made by the Borrower, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

100

11.3

Right of Setoff.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each LC Issuer is hereby authorized, except to the extent prohibited by law, at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or such LC Issuer (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender or LC Issuer wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender or LC Issuer under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender and LC Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Borrower after any such set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

11.4

Equalization.

(a) Equalization.

If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Loans), LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or an LC Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under Section 3), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount.

101

(b) Recovery of Amounts.

If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subpart (a) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Failure to Make Payment.

If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or (c), 2.4(g), 2.6(e), 2.6(f) or 9.9, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the applicable LC Issuer to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) 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) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

The Borrower acknowledges that (A) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (B) such secured website and other electronic medium are provided “as is” and “as available” and (C) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any such secured website or other electronic medium and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any material or other information distributed via any such secured website or other electronic medium.

104

(b) Participations.

Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible Assignee, provided that in the case of any such participation,

(i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto),

(ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any of the Loans in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Revolving Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Revolving Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

105

(i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, any portion of its Loans, LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations and/or Revolving Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that

(A) except in the case (x) of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $5,000,000;

(B) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the effective time of any such assignment, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection (iv) below, the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders;

(C) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Commitments; and

(D) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (treating multiple contemporaneous assignments to or from Approved Funds of a single Lender as one assignment for purposes of such requirement).

(ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Commitments.

(iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c) to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms (and any necessary additional documentation) described in Section 3.3(b) to the extent it is legally able to do so.

(iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

106

(v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership, fund or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

11.7

No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any LC Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

11.8

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County or in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address for notices pursuant to Section 11.5, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing or at such earlier time as may be provided under applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

107

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 11.8(a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

11.9

Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

11.10

Integration.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any term or provision set forth in that certain Commitment Letter, dated as of October 15, 2010, among the Borrower, JPMCB and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC that, pursuant to the express terms of such letter, survives beyond the Closing Date, shall continue to remain in effect in accordance with the terms of such letter.

11.11

Headings Descriptive.

The headings of the several Sections and other portions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

108

11.12

Amendment or Waiver.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, changed, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, change, waiver or other modification is in writing and signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or by the Administrative Agent acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that

(E) reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders; or

11.13

Survival of Indemnities.

All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 3 (subject to the limitations set forth Section 3.1(c)), Section 9.9 or Section 11.2 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations and any assignment made pursuant to Section 11.6(c).

11.14

Domicile of Loans.

Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.1 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 3.5) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender with respect to its Loans prior to such transfer.

11.15

Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, trustees, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors in connection with the performance of their duties relating to the Credit Parties and the Loan Documents (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information), (ii) to any direct contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.15, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iv) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (v) to any other party to this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.15, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (viii) with the consent of the Borrower; provided that with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv) above, (A) to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent the Administrative Agent will not, in its reasonable judgment, incur legal liability for doing so, the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Credit Party with written notice of the request for disclosure, (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law and at the expense of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent will cooperate with the Credit Parties’ reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or similar confidentiality treatment; and (C) the Administrative Agent shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it determines in its good faith judgment to be required to comply with such request or requirement.

111

(b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” means all non-public information furnished by the Credit Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not constitute “Confidential Information”: (i) any information which becomes generally available to the public without the breach by any Person of any obligation to the Credit Parties under this Agreement and (ii) any such non-public information which was otherwise available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers or the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to being identified by a Credit Party as confidential.

(c) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised at least the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as would be exercised by a prudent person, acting reasonably and responsibly. The Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not relieve the Borrower, or any other Credit Party, of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

11.16

Limitations on Liability of the LC Issuers.

The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any LC Issuer nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by an LC Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit. except that the LC Obligor shall have a claim against an LC Issuer, and an LC Issuer shall be liable to such LC Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such LC Obligor that such LC Obligor proves were caused by (i) such LC Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or failure to follow the standards of care specified in the UCC or (ii) such LC Issuer’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an LC Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

11.17

General Limitation of Liability.

No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any other Lender, or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each party hereto, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to xxx or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. Holdings and the Borrower agree to cause each of their Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.17.

112

11.18

Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrower, etc.

The relationship among the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

11.19

Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all LC Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf.

11.20

Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.21

Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action, event, condition or circumstance is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations or restrictions of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or event, condition or circumstance exists.

11.22

Interest Rate Limitation.

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

113

11.23

Judgment Currency.

If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against any Credit Party in a Designated Foreign Currency, any Dollar denominated obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Designated Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such Designated Foreign Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a result of the failure of the Borrower to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes when it was originally due hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”), the Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

11.24

USA Patriot Act.

Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
