AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of January 31, 2013 (this “Agreement”), among SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC (“Borrower”), ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (“Borrower Parent”), the LENDERS from time to time party hereto by execution of this Agreement as a Lender or pursuant to the provisions of Article 12(b)(v) (the “Lenders”) and SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Each of the Borrower, the Borrower Parent, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent in this Agreement may be referred to as a “Party” in the singular, or the “Parties”, collectively. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined in Article 1 through Article 16 are set forth on Schedule II.

WITNESSETH: THAT

WHEREAS, SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD (“SANYO”) made a loan (such loan and, on and after the date hereof with respect to any Lender, its respective portion of such loan, the “Loan”) to Borrower pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2011 (the “Original Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement, Borrower Parent guaranteed the Borrower’s repayment obligations under the Original Loan Agreement;

WHEREAS, SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION purchased all of SANYO’s rights under the Original Loan Agreement including the Loan; and

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Loan Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual agreements hereinafter stated, the Parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Original Loan Agreement in its entirety as follows:

Article 1 Drawdown; Interest

(a) As of the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan is $302,011,860.86 and the outstanding principal amount for each Lender is set forth on Schedule I.

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan on each interest payment date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) as set out in the loan payment schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Loan Payment Schedule”) for the relevant interest period (the “Interest Period”) beginning on and including January 1, 2011 (the “Drawdown Date”) (for the first such Interest Period) or beginning on and including the immediately prior Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding such Interest Payment Date, at a floating rate per annum equal to the sum of three (3)-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of the applicable Interest Period (each such date, an “Interest Rate Setting Date”) plus a spread of one hundred seventy five (175) basis points (1.75%) per annum (“Interest Rate”). For each Interest Period, the applicable Interest Rate shall be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent on each of the Interest Rate Setting Dates as set out in Exhibit A and shall be communicated to the Borrower and each Lender by the Administrative Agent on such date. LIBOR shall mean the three (3)-month

LIBOR at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London Time) on the Interest Rate Setting Date. In the event that such rate or screen page from Reuters is not available for any reason, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined by reference to the LIBOR of the immediately preceding Business Day or, if Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 is not generally available, then by reference to the LIBOR determined by another reputable source selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

(c) All payments for interest pursuant to this Article 1 shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Any calculation that would result in a payment that includes a fraction of less than one cent shall be rounded to the nearest cent. In the event that any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such Interest Period and the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law to be closed in the State of New York or, as used in Interest Rate Setting Date, London.

(d) Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date in arrears computed based on the outstanding balance of the Loan, with payments to commence on April 1, 2011.

(e) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower in writing (a “Payment Default Notice”) that it has failed to make payment when due of any sum hereunder whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then:

(i) interest shall accrue on the amount of such defaulted payment at the Default Rate (as defined below) from and after the date of such Payment Default Notice to but excluding the date that such defaulted payment is repaid in full; and

(ii) if the Borrower has failed to cure such payment default no later than the date (the “Payment Default Date”) that is five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the Payment Default Notice, then the Borrower shall pay the Default Rate on the entire principal amount outstanding under the Loan, payable from and after the Payment Default Date to but excluding the date that such defaulted payment is repaid in full (upon which date the Interest Rate on the Loan shall resume to be the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to the Loan, as provided in Article 1(b)).

As used herein, the “Default Rate” shall mean a rate of interest equal to the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to the Loan as provided in Article 1(b), plus three percent (3.00%) per annum. The Default Rate payable by the Borrower under this Article 1(e) shall be payable in addition to any principal, interest (without duplication of interest payable by reference to the Default Rate hereunder) and other amounts that may be due and payable under this Agreement.

Article 2 Loan Repayment

(a) The Borrower shall fully pay the Loan within seven (7) years from and after the Drawdown Date. Subject to Article 3, the Loan shall be repaid over twenty seven (27) equal quarterly principal installments of NINE MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY U.S. DOLLARS and sixty-five cents (US$ 9,437,870.65), with the balance of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO MILLION, SIX HUNDRED NINETY-TWO THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN U.S.

DOLLARS and fifty-one cents (US$ 122,692,318.51) (the “Final Payment”) to be repaid on January 2, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Each such quarterly principal installment shall be payable on the applicable loan repayment date (the “Loan Repayment Date”) as set forth in the Loan Repayment Schedule.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Article 2 shall be conclusive of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Article 3 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs; Voluntary Prepayment; Mandatory Prepayment; Taxes

(a) The Borrower shall have the option, on any Interest Payment Date after the date hereof to prepay the Loan, in full or in part, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice of the proposed prepayment (the “First Prepayment Notice”) not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Loan is proposed to be prepaid, which First Prepayment Notice shall state the amount proposed to be prepaid and the proposed prepayment date. The actual amount of the prepayment and the actual date of prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”) shall be confirmed (or modified) in a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (the “Confirming Prepayment Notice”) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date stated in the Confirming Prepayment Notice. The Confirming Prepayment Notice may not be revoked or modified.

(ii) The amount payable in respect of each prepayment shall be the full or partial outstanding principal amount of the Loan stated in the Confirming Prepayment Notice plus any accrued but unpaid interest up to but excluding the Prepayment Date.

(iii) The additional conditions for each partial prepayment are: (y) the minimum principal amount to be prepaid shall be TEN MILLION U.S. DOLLARS (US$10,000,000.00); and (z) the principal of each prepayment shall be applied against the quarterly principal installments of the Loan and the Final Payment in the inverse order of their scheduled due dates as set out herein and in the Loan Payment Schedule (i.e., each prepayment shall be applied first against the Final Payment and then against each quarterly principal installment set out in the Loan Payment Schedule, in inverse order).

(iv) Promptly following receipt of the First Prepayment Notice and the Confirming Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be applied ratably to the Loans.

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent either (i) an irrevocable notice specifying a proposed prepayment date, which date shall be no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, in which case the Borrower shall repay the Loan, together with any unpaid interest up to but excluding the prepayment date, in full on or before the proposed prepayment date or (ii) an irrevocable notice describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Loan (through Borrower or its designee) on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control, in which case, the Administrative Agent shall deliver such notice to the Lenders, and, if any Lenders have accepted such repurchase offer, the Borrower or such designee shall repurchase the Loan from such Lender, at a price in cash equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof together with interest on the principal amount up to but not including the date of such repurchase, and such Lender shall sell the Loan and transfer all related loan documents to the Borrower or such designee upon receipt of such purchase price. In the event that the Borrower (itself or through its designee) offers to repurchase the Loan pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) and the Lender does not accept such offer, then the Loan held by such Lender shall remain in place in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) “Change of Control” means (i) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any person or group (within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the U.S., as amended, and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder as in effect on the date hereof) of equity interests representing more than 50% of either the aggregate ordinary voting power or the aggregate equity value of the Borrower Parent and (ii) delisting of the Borrower Parent’s common shares from Nasdaq Stock Market.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted.]

(e) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made in dollars and to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, except that payments pursuant to Article 3(b) shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments in the same currency received by it to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. 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.

(f) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied first towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the Lenders entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such Lenders with any remainder applied in respect of outstanding principal on the Loans ratably among the Lenders entitled thereto.

(g) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loan or resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loan and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). “Subsidiary” shall mean any subsidiary of the Borrower Parent other than the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the definition of the term “subsidiary”, it is understood and agreed that each of (1) ON Semiconductor Czech Republic, s.r.o., legal successor, a corporation existing under the laws of the Czech Republic, (2) ON Semiconductor Slovakia a.s. (formerly known as Slovakia Electronic Industries, a.s.), a corporation existing under the laws of Slovakia and (3) Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Co., Ltd., an entity existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, is a subsidiary of the Borrower Parent as of the date hereof.

(h) 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 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 the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 (i) the weighted average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the next succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day that is a Business Day, the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1%) of the

quotations for such day for such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(i) Taxes.

(i) Withholding of Taxes. Each payment by Borrower Parent or the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.

(iii) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, Borrower Parent or the Borrower for any Taxes attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or Borrower Parent or the Borrower (as applicable) in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. The indemnity under this Article 3(i)(iii) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(iv) Status of Lenders.

(1)

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Article 3(i)(iv)(2)(a) through (e) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially

prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Article 3(i)(iv). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Article 3(i) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(2)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. person, any Lender with respect to the Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(a)

(c)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(d)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form prescribed by the Administrative Agent (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign

corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(e)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this paragraph Article 3(i)(iv)(2) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(f)

any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(3)

If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Borrower Parent under this Guaranty (other than the defense of payment), and the Borrower Parent hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing (other than the defense of payment). This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all payment obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all principal, interest and other amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Article 9 The Administrative Agent

9.1 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

9.2 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower Parent or the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

9.3 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of

whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by this Agreement that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Article 16(d)) and (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower Parent or the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Article 16(d)) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Borrower Parent or the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower Parent), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.5 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its Related Parties (defined below). The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any specified person, such person’s Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such person and such person’s Affiliates (the “Related Parties”) of the Administrative Agent.

9.6 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no such approval shall be required if a Significant Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and, if required, approved by the Borrower) and shall have accepted such appointment

within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York which has assets of not less than $500,000,000 and has a certificate of deposit, short-term deposit or commercial paper rating of at least A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees, if any, 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. For clarity, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Borrower is not required to pay any fees of Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.7 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder.

9.8 The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) be authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Article 12 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) neither the Borrower Parent nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower Parent or the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Article 12. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Article 12) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the proposed assignee is not a competitor of the Borrower or the Borrower Parent) of:

(1)

the Borrower Parent (provided that the Borrower Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower Parent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Approved Affiliate of a Lender or, if a Significant Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(2)

the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(1)

except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Approved Affiliate of a Lender (or an assignment by a prospective lender approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to such prospective lender’s Approved Affiliate) or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s and all of its Approved Affiliate’s Loans (if, on an aggregated basis, such Loan are less than $10,000,000), the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender and its Approved Affiliates subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that (x) any Lender, Approved Affiliate and prospective lender approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may aggregate their Loans for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum amounts set forth herein and (y) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Significant Default has occurred and is continuing;

(2)

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

(3)

the Borrower, Borrower Parent and the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (or such lesser amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent), such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; and

(4)

the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower Parent and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Article 12(b), the term “Approved Affiliate” has the following meaning:

“Approved Affiliate” means an Affiliate of any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (A) a Lender, (B) an Approved Affiliate of such Lender, (C) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender or (D) a prospective lender approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Article 12, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a Party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such

Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Party hereto). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Article 12 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Article 12.

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

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Article 12 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Article 12, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Article 3(h), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower Parent or the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment or modification that affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower

Parent and the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Article 12 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Article 13 Expenses

The Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Article 13 or in connection with the enforcement of the Loan made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan.

Article 14 Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Article 15 Resolution of Dispute

(a) Each Party agrees that, upon written request of the other Party, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to settle amicably through good faith discussions any dispute or disagreement which may arise under or pursuant to this Agreement.

Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Article 15. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article 10. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) Waivers; Amendments.

(i) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
