If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro, or other currency, as the case may be, as its lawful currency; provided that if any Foreign Currency Loan in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Foreign Currency Loan, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement relating solely to payments denominated in Euros shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may from time to time mutually specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption, or the replacement, of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) References herein to minimum Dollar amounts and integral multiples stated in Dollars, where they shall also be applicable to any other currency, shall be deemed to refer to approximate Foreign Currency Equivalent. Wherever in this Agreement an amount, such as a minimum or maximum limitation on Debt permitted to be incurred or Investments permitted to be made hereunder, is expressed in Dollars, it shall be deemed to refer to the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 9.10 and 9.11, with respect to any amount of Debt or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no breach of any basket contained in such sections shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Debt or Investment is incurred; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this clause (d) shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Debt or Investment may be incurred at any time under such Sections.

Section 1.6 Interest Rates. If at any time any interest rate quoted or otherwise made available from time to time under this Agreement is either no longer available generally in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent seeks to use a comparable or successor rate to any such interest rate, then the Administrative Agent (after consultation with, and consent from, the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld if such rate is consistent with market practice)) shall, by written notice to the Lenders, substitute such unavailable or such other interest rate with another interest rate commercially available to all of the Revolving A Lenders, Revolving B Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, unless the Required Revolving A Lenders, the Required Revolving B Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, acting reasonably and in good faith determine (which determination

shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that such substitute interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans hereunder.

Section 1.7 Limited Condition Acquisitions. In the event that the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that any proposed Acquisition is a Limited Condition Acquisition and that the Parent Borrower wishes to test the conditions to such Acquisition and the availability of the Incremental Term Loans that is to be used to finance such Acquisition in accordance with this Section 1.7, then, so long as agreed to by the lenders providing such Debt, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) any condition to such Acquisition or such Debt that requires that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Acquisition or the incurrence of such Debt, shall be satisfied if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such Acquisition and (ii) no Event of Default under any of Sections 11.1(a), 11.1(b), 11.1(h), 11.1(i) or 11.1(j) shall have occurred and be continuing both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Acquisition and any Debt incurred in connection therewith (including such additional Debt);

(b) any condition to such Acquisition or such Debt that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of such Acquisition or the incurrence of such Debt shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or other customary applicable “certain funds” conditionality provisions (including, without limitation, a condition that the representations and warranties under the relevant agreements relating to such Limited Condition Acquisition as are material to the lenders providing such Debt shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that the Parent Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct), so long as all representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) at the time of execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement governing such Acquisition;

(c) any financial ratio test or condition, may upon the written election of the Parent Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement for such Acquisition, be tested either (i) upon the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) upon the consummation of the Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Debt, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Debt, on a pro forma basis; provided that the failure to deliver a notice under this Section 1.7(c) on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition shall be deemed an election to test the applicable financial ratio under subclause (ii) of this Section 1.7(c); and

(d) if the Parent Borrower has made an election with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition to test a financial ratio test or condition at the time specified in clause (c)(i) of this Section, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant date of execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the

definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be required to be satisfied (x) on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Debt) have been consummated and (y) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Debt) have not been consummated.

The foregoing provisions shall apply with similar effect during the pendency of multiple Limited Condition Acquisitions such that each of the possible scenarios is separately tested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall there be more than two Limited Condition Acquisitions at any time outstanding.

(a) Description of Revolving Credit Facilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement:

(i) the Revolving A Lenders hereby grant to the Revolving A Borrowers a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving A Credit Facility”) pursuant to which each Revolving A Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (the “Revolving A Credit Loans”), from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, to each Revolving A Borrower in Dollars, Euros, Sterling or any Revolving A Optional Currency, in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in: (1) the Aggregate Revolving A Credit Exposure plus the outstanding principal amount of all French Swingline Loans and MXN Swingline Loans exceeding the Aggregate Revolving A Commitment; (2) such Lender’s Revolving A Credit Exposure exceeding its Revolving A Commitment; or (3) the Aggregate Foreign Exposure exceeding the Foreign Sublimit. Each Revolving A Credit Loan made by a Revolving A Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving A Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving A Credit Loans requested on such occasion; and

(ii) the Revolving B Lenders hereby grant to the Revolving B Borrowers a five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving B Credit Facility”) pursuant to which each Revolving B Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (the “Revolving B Credit Loans”), from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, to each Revolving B Borrower in Dollars, Euros, Sterling or any Revolving B Optional Currency, in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (1) the Aggregate Revolving B Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving B Commitment; (2) such Lender’s Revolving B Credit Exposure exceeding its Revolving B Commitment; or (3) the Aggregate Foreign Exposure exceeding the Foreign Sublimit. Each Revolving B Credit Loan made by a Revolving B Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving B Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving B Credit Loans requested on such occasion.

(b) Revolving Credit Lender Agreement. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees, and by making any advance hereunder shall be deemed severally to represent, that: (i) none of the funds made available by such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) it qualifies as a Professional Market Party and (iii) under Applicable Law in effect as of the Closing Date

(or such later date on which such Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder), except as otherwise disclosed to the Parent Borrower in writing prior to any such date, it has the full power and authority to make Revolving Credit Loans and other Extensions of Credit into the jurisdictions and in the currencies made available in its Class. If the representation set forth in clause (iii) above proves to be false as of the date on which it is made for any Revolving Credit Lender, then such Revolving Credit Lender will, at no expense to the Credit Parties, promptly (A) give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, and (B) either obtain a replacement commitment from an Assignee pursuant to Section 13.7(b) that is authorized to lend in all such jurisdictions and currencies made available in its Class or arrange for another Revolving Credit Lender or other financial institution to make or continue Revolving Credit Loans on behalf of such Revolving Credit Lender, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The remedy set forth in Section 4.7(f) shall be the Credit Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any Revolving Credit Lender’s breach of the representation set forth in clause (ii) or (iii) above.

93782947_8

to permanently terminate or reduce the Commitment of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitment of any Class shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) such reduction shall not cause the Aggregate Revolving A Credit Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Revolving A Commitment or the Aggregate Revolving B Credit Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Revolving B Commitment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving A Lender and Revolving B Lender, as applicable. The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.8 may not thereafter be reinstated.

Section 2.9 Incremental Loans.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, on one or more occasions, the Parent Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of:

(i) one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make one or more additional term loans, including a borrowing of an additional term loan the principal amount of which will be added to the outstanding principal amount of the existing tranche of Term Loans with the latest maturity date (any such additional term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”); or

(ii) one or more increases in the Aggregate Revolving A Commitments or Aggregate Revolving B Commitments, as applicable (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”), to make revolving credit loans under the Revolving Credit Facilities (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans ”);

provided that (1) the total aggregate initial principal amount (as of the date of incurrence thereof) of such requested Incremental Loan Commitments and Incremental Loans shall not exceed the Incremental Facilities Limit and (2) the total aggregate amount for each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which the Parent Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be approved by the Administrative Agent). The Parent Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person that meets the requirements of Section 13.7 (but subject to any consents that may be required pursuant to Section 13.7(b)(i)), to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”). Any proposed Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loan Commitment or any portion thereof. Any proposed Incremental Lender not responding by the Incremental Effective Date shall be deemed to have declined to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment or any portion thereof. Each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender or make its Incremental Loan Commitment under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.9 and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Credit Parties, each Incremental Lender with respect to the Incremental Loan under the Incremental Facility Amendment (to the extent applicable) and the Administrative Agent (provided that, with the consent of each Incremental Lender with respect to the Incremental Loan under the Incremental Facility Amendment, the Administrative Agent may execute such Incremental Facility Amendment on behalf of the applicable Incremental Lenders). Any Incremental Loan



	56

93782947_8

Commitment shall become effective as of such Incremental Effective Date; provided that each of the following conditions has been satisfied or waived as of such Incremental Effective Date, which in the case of an Incremental Term Loan to be used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, shall be subject to Section 1.7:

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Incremental Effective Date immediately prior to or after giving effect to (1) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (2) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto and (3) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith;

(B) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Parent Borrower a covenant compliance certificate demonstrating, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that the Parent Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.1, in each case based on the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) or 7.1(a)(ii), as applicable, both immediately before and after giving effect (on a pro forma basis) to (x) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (y) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto (with any Incremental Loan Commitment being deemed to be fully funded) and (z) any Permitted Acquisition consummated in connection therewith;

(C) each of the representations and warranties contained in Article VI shall be true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects, on such Incremental Effective Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct as of such earlier date);

(D) the proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(E) each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made thereunder) shall constitute Obligations of the applicable Borrowers and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Extensions of Credit on a pari passu basis;

(F) (1) in the case of each Incremental Term Loan (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment):

(x) the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loan and the maturity and amortization of such Incremental Term Loan shall be as agreed by the Parent Borrower and the Incremental Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan, but will not in any event have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Loan or a maturity date earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date; and

(z) except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to the Initial Term Loan, shall be



	57

93782947_8

reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower;

(2) in the case of each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment):

(x) such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall mature on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, shall bear interest and be entitled to unused fees, in each case at the rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Loans; provided that the Applicable Percentage and unused fees applicable to the Incremental Revolving Credit Increase may be higher if the Applicable Percentage and unused fees, as applicable, with respect to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans are increased to equal the Applicable Percentage and unused fees applicable to the Incremental Revolving Credit Increase;

(y) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Ratable Share of Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Incremental Effective Date among the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) in accordance with their revised Ratable Share (and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Parent Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 4.8 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment); and

(z) except as provided above, all of the other terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 2.9, be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the Revolving Credit Facilities;

(G) (1) any Incremental Lender making any Incremental Term Loan shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Term Loan Lenders under the Term Loan Facility and (unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Incremental Lenders) each Incremental Term Loan shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the Initial Term Loan (such prepayments to be shared pro rata on the basis of the original aggregate funded amount thereof among the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loans); and

(2) any Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facilities and any Extensions of Credit made in connection with each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the other Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder;



	58

93782947_8

(H) such Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Amendments executed and delivered by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.9); and

(I) the Parent Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of the Parent Borrower and each Guarantor and, if applicable, any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) authorizing such Incremental Loan and/or Incremental Term Loan Commitment) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(a) The Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Term Loans; provided that any such Incremental Term Loan that is not added to the outstanding principal balance of a pre-existing Term Loan shall be designated as a separate tranche of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving A Lenders or Required Revolving B Lenders, as applicable, and, unless otherwise agreed, the Incremental Lenders will not constitute a separate voting Class for any purposes under this Agreement.

(c) (i) On any Incremental Effective Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitment becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make, or be obligated to make, an Incremental Term Loan to the Parent Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and shall become a Term Loan Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant thereto.

(ii) On any Incremental Effective Date on which any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Revolving Commitment.

(d) To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable in the event of any non-ratable increase in the Aggregate Revolving A Commitment or the Revolving B Commitment, on the effective date of any such increase, (i) all then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the affected Class (the “Initial Revolving Loans”) shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) immediately after the effectiveness of any such increase, the relevant Borrowers shall be deemed to have made new borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Revolving Loans and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.3, (iii) each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Lender’s pro rata share (calculated after giving effect to the increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (z) such Lender’s pro rata share (calculated without giving effect to the increase) of the Initial Revolving Loans, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender the portion of such funds



	59

93782947_8

equal to the difference, if positive, between (y) such Lender’s pro rata share (calculated without giving effect to the increase) of the Initial Revolving Loans and (z) such Lender’s pro rata share (calculated after giving effect to the increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (v) the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to hold the Subsequent Borrowings ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving A Commitment or Revolving B Commitment, as the case may be (calculated after giving effect to the increase), and (vi) the relevant Borrowers shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Revolving Loans to the Lenders entitled thereto. The conversion of the Initial Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) above shall be subject to indemnification by the relevant Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.8 if the effective date of any increase occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.

Section 2.10 [Reserved].

Section 2.11 Addition or Removal of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers; Optional Currencies.

(a) Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

(i) Subject to Section 2.11(b), the Parent Borrower may at any time, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required for any Foreign Subsidiary identified on Schedule 2.11(a) on the Closing Date), add as a Revolving Borrower to this Agreement any Foreign Subsidiary upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 5.3, in which case such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Revolving A Borrower or Revolving B Borrower, as the case may be, as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders in the Class to which such Foreign Subsidiary shall be a Revolving Borrower at least ten Business Days prior to granting such consent, and shall withhold such consent if any Revolving A Lender and/or Revolving B Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days that it is not permitted by Applicable Law or any other organizational policy to make Loans to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary. If (i) no Revolving Credit Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent that it is not permitted by Applicable Law or any other organizational policy to make Revolving Credit Loans to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary and (ii) the Administrative Agent has not withheld its consent to the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be added, provided that the Administrative Agent may establish and apply such other rules and procedures, and amend this Agreement accordingly, as it deems reasonably necessary for the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to, and in a manner consistent with, this Agreement.

(ii) With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, so long as the principal of and interest on any Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Parent Borrower may, by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Foreign Subsidiary Borrower” and such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall no longer be a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Addition of Optional Currencies. The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that the definition of “Revolving A Optional Currency” and/or “Revolving B Optional Currency” be amended to add any other currency that is freely transferable and convertible into Dollars in the London interbank market and for which a LIBOR Base Rate is administered by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any applicable successor quoting service) as provided in the definition of “LIBOR



	60

93782947_8

Base Rate.” For the avoidance of doubt, the addition of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) shall not be deemed to amend the definition of “Revolving A Optional Currency” or “Revolving B Optional Currency”, as the case may be, unless approved by all of the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11(b). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders in the relevant Class to which such proposed currency is to be made available for the borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, and shall withhold such consent if any Revolving Credit Lender in such Class notifies the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of such notice that it is not permitted by Applicable Law or any other organizational policy to make Loans in such currency. If each of the affected Revolving Credit Lenders in the relevant Class consents to the addition of such proposed currency, the definition of “Revolving A Optional Currency” and/or “Revolving B Optional Currency”, as the case may be, and Schedule 1.1(b) shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the addition of such currency and the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Required Lenders (or all of the applicable Lenders if required by Section 13.9), shall further amend the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 4.1(d)) as shall be necessary or appropriate to provide for the borrowing, funding, disbursement, computation of interest and repayment of Obligations denominated in such new currency.

Section 2.12 Parent Borrower as Agent for Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for such Subsidiary Borrower which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the Parent Borrower that it has resigned such position. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Parent Borrower to (i) provide all notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) take such action as the Parent Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower hereby severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by such Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s relying on any instructions of the Parent Borrower on behalf of such Borrower, except that such Borrower will have no liability under this Section 2.12(b) with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

93782947_8

extend or renew any Revolving A Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate stated amounts of all outstanding Revolving A Letters of Credit would exceed the Revolving A L/C Sublimit, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate stated amounts of all outstanding Revolving A Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed its L/C Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate Revolving A Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving A Commitment or (iv) the Aggregate Foreign Exposure would exceed the Foreign Sublimit.

No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) such issuance violates any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority that by its terms enjoins or restrains the issuance of such Letter of Credit or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over it shall prohibit, or request that it refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (ii) such issuance imposes upon it or any Revolving Credit Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender is not otherwise compensated), or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect as of the Closing Date, (iii) any Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class is at that time a Defaulting Lender and, after giving effect to any reallocation of the Participation Interest of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iv), such Issuing Lender has any actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all



	62

93782947_8

other L/C Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, unless the applicable Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Parent Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Fronting Exposure or (iv) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit is a Sanctioned Person. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include any amendment, extension, renewal or increase in the stated amount of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.

(d) Allocation of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit that is denominated in Dollars may, as requested by the Parent Borrower, be converted from one Type to another Type, and such determination, shall be binding on the Revolving Credit Lenders. Such determination may be changed from time to time so long as at the time of any such determination, the conditions specified in Section 5.2 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders as of the date of such determination. The Parent Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such determination at the time of its request for the issuance of any Letter of Credit and of any change in such determination at the time thereof.

Section 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, extend, renew or increase the stated amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at any address mutually acceptable to the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender an L/C Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. The L/C Application will contain a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Section 5.2 (and Section 5.3 if applicable) have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders as of the date of the L/C Application. Upon receipt of any L/C Application, such Issuing Lender shall process such L/C Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1, this Section 3.2 and Article V hereof, promptly issue the Letter of Credit (or amend, extend, renew or increase the stated amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit) requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit (or amend, extend, renew or increase the stated amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit) earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Issuing Lender (or the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent agrees to undertake such action) shall report to each Revolving Credit Lender and the Parent Borrower all Letters of Credit issued by it during the previous calendar quarter and the average daily undrawn and unexpired amounts for all Letters of Credit for each day in such calendar quarter. Each Issuing Lender (or the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent agrees to undertake such action) shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of each outstanding Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency as of the end of each calendar month and shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of such calculation, and such calculation shall be the basis of any determination of the amount of outstanding Revolving A L/C Obligations and Revolving X X/C Obligations for purposes hereof until the next such calculation.

Section 3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving A Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Revolving A L/C Fee”) in Dollars with respect to each



	63

93782947_8

Revolving A Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender in an amount equal to the product of the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily undrawn amount of such issued Revolving A Letters of Credit and the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR Rate Loans then in effect.

(b) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving B Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Revolving X X/C Fee”) in Dollars with respect to each Revolving B Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender in an amount equal to the product of the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily undrawn amount of such issued Revolving B Letters of Credit and the Applicable Percentage for LIBOR Rate Loans then in effect.

The L/C Fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and payable on the third Business Day following such date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand.

The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Revolving B Lenders the Revolving X X/C Fee received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving B Ratable Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any L/C Fee otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the each Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(ii) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, to the other Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving A Ratable Share or Revolving B Ratable Share, as the case may be, allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account.

(d) In addition to the L/C Fees, the Parent Borrower agrees to pay to any Issuing Lender that has issued a Letter of Credit at the request of the Parent Borrower, for such Issuing Lender’s own account, (i) a fronting fee in an amount per annum (A) for Xxxxx Fargo, as specified in its Fee Letter and (B) for any other Issuing Lender, as agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender, multiplied by the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate stated amount of such Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, and (ii) customary charges of such Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit.

Each Revolving A Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Revolving A Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Revolving A Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Revolving A Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.



	64

93782947_8

(b) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Revolving B Lender, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Revolving B Letters of Credit hereunder, each Revolving B Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Revolving B Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to its Revolving B Ratable Share of such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Revolving B Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Revolving B Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Revolving B Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Revolving B Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Revolving B Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(c) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any Revolving Credit Lender to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving A Lender, in the case of Revolving A Letters of Credit, or each Revolving B Lender, in the case of Revolving B Letters of Credit, of the amount and due date of such required payment and such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent (which, in turn shall pay such Issuing Lender) the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of any Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(c) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to any Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(c), if the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day. No such making of any payment by a Revolving Credit Lender under Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Revolving Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender its Revolving A Ratable Share or Revolving B Ratable Share, as applicable, of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, or any payment of interest on account thereof), such Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Revolving A Ratable Share or Revolving B Ratable Share, as applicable; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

Section 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Revolving Borrowers. Each Revolving Borrower agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender on each date such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies such Revolving Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit requested by the Parent Borrower for the account of such Revolving Borrower for the amount of (a) such



	65

93782947_8

draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the appropriate Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in Dollars (or the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, if the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender otherwise agree) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such payment and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by such Borrower under this Article III from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans under Section 4.1(a)(i) plus 2%. If such Borrower fails to timely reimburse such Issuing Lender on the date such Revolving Borrower receives the notice referred to in this Section 3.5, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure, and such Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2(b)) to the Administrative Agent requesting the Revolving Credit Lenders to make an Alternate Base Rate Loan under the Revolving A Credit Facility or the Revolving B Credit Facility, as applicable, on such date in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft paid, together with any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender and to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.5 and, regardless of whether or not the conditions precedent specified in Article V have been satisfied, the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders shall make Alternate Base Rate Loans in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Any conversion by any Issuing Lender of any payment to be made by such Revolving Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency into Dollars in accordance with this Section 3.5 (using the conversion mechanism set forth in the definition of Dollar Equivalent) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders in the absence of manifest error; provided that upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, the Issuing Lender shall provide to such Revolving Credit Lender a certificate including reasonably detailed information as to the calculation of such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.5 shall obligate the Revolving Credit Lenders to make such Alternate Base Rate Loans if the making of such Alternate Base Rate Loans would violate the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 3.6 Obligations Absolute.

(a) Each Revolving Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including without limitation the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Revolving Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender or any beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting). Each Revolving Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for, and such Revolving Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent, forged or insufficient in any respect, or any dispute between or among such Revolving Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Revolving Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message, advice, or document, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Revolving Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on such Revolving Borrower



	66

93782947_8

and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to such Revolving Borrower. The responsibility of each Issuing Lender to such Revolving Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or to fund its Participation Interest to reimburse any Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Article III, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against such Issuing Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.5 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the applicable Revolving Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing).

Section 3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Subsidiary Borrower (if applicable) of the date and the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof.

Section 3.8 Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment. At any time that there is an Issuing Lender that is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent, then (a) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (d) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender (or, in the case of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section, the applicable Issuing Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, cash collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of its L/C Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Lender or making any change to its L/C Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Lender to provide such information pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall limit the obligations of any Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9 Resignation of Issuing Lenders.

(a) Any Lender may at any time resign from its role as an Issuing Lender hereunder upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

(b) Any resigning Issuing Lender shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to require the Revolving Credit Lenders to take such actions as are required under Section 3.4). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the resignation of a Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder, the Parent Borrower may, or at the request of such resigned Issuing Lender the Parent Borrower shall (at the sole cost and expense of such resigning Issuing Lender, except in the



	67

93782947_8

case of any resignation in connection with the assignment by such Issuing Lender of all of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans hereunder pursuant to Section 13.7), use commercially reasonable efforts to, arrange for one or more of the other Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such resigned Issuing Lender and outstanding at the time of such resignation, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigned Issuing Lender to effectively cause another Issuing Lender to assume the obligations of the resigned Issuing Lender with respect to any such Letters of Credit.

Section 3.10 Effect of L/C Application. To the extent that any provision of any L/C Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

93782947_8

in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans made in the United States as provided in Section 4.1(a)(i)(i). Interest shall continue to accrue on the amount of Loans outstanding after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) Interest Payment and Computation.

(i) Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan and Swingline Loan (other than MXN Swingline Loans and French Swingline Loans) shall be payable by the relevant Borrower in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date, interest on each MXN Swingline Loans shall be payable as specified in the applicable MXN Swingline Facility Notice, interest on each French Swingline Loan shall be payable as specified in the applicable French Swingline Facility Notice and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan and Canadian CDOR Loan shall be payable by the relevant Borrower in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period exceeds three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 4.1(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an Alternate Base Rate Loan prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Canadian CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Parent Borrower’s option (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, at the Administrative Agent’s option), (i) promptly refund to the Parent Borrower any interest received by Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that the Parent Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Parent Borrower under Applicable Law.

(f) Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), where interest is calculated pursuant to this Agreement at a rate based upon a year consisting of a number of days less than the actual number of days in such year (the “First Rate”), the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly basis is equivalent to such First Rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year divided by the number of days which such year is, for the purposes of interest calculations under this Agreement, deemed to consist of.

(g) Minimum Interest for Swiss Subsidiaries.



	70

93782947_8

(i) Without derogation or duplication of the provision set forth in Section 4.10, the rates of interest provided for in this Agreement are minimum interest rates.

(ii) When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Section 4.1 is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. This notwithstanding, if a tax deduction for a Swiss Withholding Tax is required by law in respect of any interest payable by a Swiss Subsidiary under a Loan Document and should it be unlawful for any Swiss Subsidiary to make an increased payment under Section 4.10(a)(A) or indemnify a Lender under Section 4.10(c) for such Swiss Withholding Tax for any reason, where this would otherwise be required by the terms of Section 4.10, then:

(A) the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment as provided for by Section 1.6 divided by one minus the rate at which the relevant tax deduction is required to be made under Swiss Withholding Tax law and/or applicable double taxation treaties (where the rate at which the relevant tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of one); and

(B) the Swiss Subsidiary shall (i) pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with paragraph (A) above and (ii) make the tax deduction on the interest so recalculated, and all references to a rate of interest under the Loan Documents shall be construed accordingly.

(iii) To the extent that interest payable by a Swiss Subsidiary under a Loan Document becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each relevant Lender and such Swiss Subsidiary shall promptly cooperate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary:

(A) for the relevant Swiss Subsidiary to obtain authorization to make interest payments without the being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax; and

(B) to ensure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund under any applicable double taxation treaty is so refunded.

Section 4.2 Commitment Fee. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage for Commitment Fee on the average daily unused portion of the amount of the Revolving A Commitment or Revolving B Commitment, as applicable, of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders, if any) during the applicable period; provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving A Commitment or Revolving B Commitment, as applicable, for the purpose of calculating the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall accrue commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or, if later, the date of payment in full of all Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations) and shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date (and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon demand). Such Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share.

Section 4.3 Pro Rata Treatment: Manner of Payment.



	71

93782947_8

(a) Subject to Section 4.11(a)(iv), each payment by the Parent Borrower on account of any Commitment Fees shall be allocated according to the respective Revolving A Ratable Share and Revolving B Ratable Share, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 4.11(a)(ii), each payment on account of principal or interest on the Revolving A Credit Loans and the Revolving B Credit Loans shall be applied pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving A Credit Loans and the Revolving B Credit Loans, as the case may be, then held by the relevant Lenders. Each Commitment reduction by the Parent Borrower shall be allocated among the relevant Lenders according to the Revolving A Ratable Share or the Revolving B Ratable Share, as the case may be.

(b) Each payment by any Credit Party on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the relevant Funding Office, for the account of the Lenders, in the currency in which such Obligation is denominated, as the case may be, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever (as provided in Section 4.10). Such payments shall be made no later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time. Any payment received after the time set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the L/C Fees shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the relevant Issuing Lenders and the relevant Lenders.

(c) Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 or 13.2 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any payments received by it under this Section 4.3 for the account of any other Lender to such Lender promptly following receipt thereof to the appropriate Lending Office or other address specified by such Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day (other than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans and Canadian CDOR Loans), it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 4.4 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that any Credit Party shall fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2(a), all payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon the Secured Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Secured Obligations shall be applied as follows:

First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees (other than Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit fees payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders), indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;



	72

93782947_8

Third, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit fees payable to the Revolving Credit Lenders and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and payment obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities and any drawn and unreimbursed amounts under Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender (provided that the Dollar Equivalent of principal paid to the French Swingline Lender and the MXN Swingline Lender pursuant to this clause Fourth shall not exceed in the aggregate the Shared Foreign Swingline Sublimit Amount), the Hedge Banks, the Cash Management Banks, the holders of Debt under the Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities and the Bilateral L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lenders, to cash collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding and any undrawn amounts under Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities, ratably among the Issuing Lenders and the Bilateral L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law;

provided that to the extent any payments are received from any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and applied in accordance with this Section 4.4, such payments shall only be applied to the Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. To the extent that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders is denominated in a currency which is different from the currency in which any of the Obligations is denominated, unless such payment was required to be made in such different currency pursuant to the express terms hereof, the portion of such payment to be applied to such Obligations shall be converted by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its customary practices to the currency of such Obligations and the reasonable costs of any such conversion shall be for the account of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof at the time of such application, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under such Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under a Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Section 4.5 Adjustments. Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or to the Lenders under a particular Credit Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or if any Lender shall at any time receive any collateral in respect to the Obligations owing



	73

93782947_8

to it (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or counterclaim or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash (at face value) from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Parent Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Extensions of Credit may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. To the extent that any such payment received by the Benefited Lender is denominated in a currency which is different from the currency in which such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit is denominated, unless such payment was required to be made in such different currency pursuant to the express terms hereof, the portion of such payment to be used to purchase such other Lender’s Extensions of Credit shall be converted by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its customary practices to the currency of such Lender’s Extensions of Credit and the reasonable costs of any such conversion shall be for the account of the applicable Borrower.

Section 4.6 Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans to be borrowed (which notice shall not release such Lender from its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion or amount available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.2(c) or 2.5(b), as applicable, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Parent Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, times (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate or, in the case of an amount in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency, the customary rate for the settlement of interbank obligations in such Optional Currency as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, times (c) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s pro rata share of such Loans is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing, on demand, from the relevant Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available its pro rata share of any Loan shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its pro rata share of such Loan, available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its pro rata share of such Loan available on the borrowing date.

Section 4.7 Changed Circumstances; Illegality.

93782947_8

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate Availability. If with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan: (i) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine, acting reasonably and in good faith, that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan or (ii) the Required Lenders reasonably and in good faith determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans or Canadian CDOR Loans for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Canadian CDOR Loans and the right of the Revolving Borrowers to convert any Revolving Credit Loan to or continue any Revolving Credit Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan shall be suspended, and the relevant Borrower shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan, as applicable, or, if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Dollar LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Illegality.

(i) If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or to make or maintain any Canadian CDOR Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Parent Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the affected Lender or Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to make Canadian CDOR Loans, as the case may be, and the right of the relevant Borrower to convert any Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders or continue any Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders as a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Canadian CDOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be suspended and thereafter such Borrower may select from the affected Lender or Lenders only Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Dollar LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Dollar LIBOR Rate Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders shall immediately be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period, (iii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, then the relevant Borrower shall immediately repay the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders, and (iv) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Canadian CDOR Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Canadian CDOR Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders shall immediately be converted to a Canadian Base Rate Loan.

93782947_8

(ii) If, after the Closing Date, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain Loans in Euros, Sterling or any Revolving A Optional Currency or Revolving B Optional Currency, as the case may be, and/or into any jurisdiction set forth for its Class on Schedule 1.1(b), such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Parent Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the affected Lender or Lenders to make or maintain Loans in any such currency and/or into such jurisdiction set forth for its Class on Schedule 1.1(b) and the right of the relevant Revolving Borrower to request or continue any Revolving Credit Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders in such currency and/or into such jurisdiction shall be suspended, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain Loans in any such currency and/or into any such jurisdiction to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, then the relevant Revolving Borrower shall immediately repay the applicable Loan of the affected Lender or Lenders.

(i) subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit or L/C Application or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Loan, Letter of Credit or L/C Application or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (without coverage for any Taxes as defined in Section 4.10(a) or Other Taxes as defined in Section 4.10(b) and without coverage of any taxes expressly excluded by Section 4.10(a)); or

(ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board other than those used to calculate the LIBOR Rate or the CDOR Rate), special deposit, insurance or capital or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Loan or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any event of the kind described in this Section 4.7(c), is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue or participate in any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the yield or amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or L/C Application in an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall pay (or shall cause the relevant Borrower to pay) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction. The Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender will promptly notify the Parent Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.7(c); provided that the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the Parent Borrower in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary



	76

93782947_8

to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.7(c) if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that such Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers).

(d) Additional Reserve Costs.

(i) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks) in respect of any of such Lender’s Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loans.

(ii) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (i) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender, acting in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five (5) Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loans, and such additional interest so notified to the Parent Borrower on behalf of the relevant Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loans.

(e) Mitigation. If any Lender demands compensation under Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d) or if the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans is suspended under Section 4.7(b), or if any amount payable under this Agreement by a Borrower established in France becomes not deductible from that Borrower’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Finance Party incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Finance Party in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different Lending Office for each affected Loan if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation or permit such Lender to make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans under Section 4.7(b) and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the additional amount or amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any increased costs, the changes as a result of which such amounts are due and the manner of computing such amounts shall be deemed conclusive, provided that the determinations set forth in such certificate are made reasonably and in good faith. If any Lender demands compensation from the Parent Borrower under this Section 4.7 more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender had knowledge of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such compensation, the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse such Lender for amounts incurred as a result of the occurrence of such event more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which the Lender made such demand (provided that if the event giving rise to the compensation or indemnification is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.7, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.



	77

93782947_8

(f) Replacement of a Lender. If (a) any Lender demands compensation under Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d) (which compensation is not demanded by all of the Lenders of the same Class) and the Parent Borrower deems such additional amounts to be material, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain any Loan is suspended under Section 4.7(a) or Section 4.7(b), (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or (d) any amount payable to any Lender by a Borrower established in France under this Agreement is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for that Borrower by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then, in each case, the Parent Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, obtain, at the Parent Borrower’s expense (or at the expense of a Defaulting Lender whose representation contained in clause (iii) of Section 2.1(b) proves to be false), one or more other Lenders or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, one or more replacement financial institutions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (if not already a Lender) and willing to replace such Lender, and such Lender shall execute and deliver to such replacement Lender an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s entire interest under this Agreement for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans and L/C Obligations held by the affected Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of such assignment, provided that (i) a Lender that demands compensation under Section 4.7(c) or Section 4.7(d) shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Parent Borrower to require such assignment pursuant to clause (a) above cease to apply, (ii) the Parent Borrower shall have paid to such affected Lender the compensation that it is entitled to receive under Section 4.7 through the date of such assignment, (iii) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation and (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Upon the execution by such replacement Lender of such Assignment and Assumption and compliance with the requirements of Section 13.7(b), such replacement Lender shall succeed to all of such Lender’s rights and duties under this Agreement. If the Parent Borrower exercises its election under this Section 4.7(f) to replace a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), the Parent Borrower shall pay the registration and processing fee payable to the Administrative Agent under Section 13.7(b).

Section 4.8 Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by a Lender as a result of (a) any failure by such Borrower to borrow, convert or repay any amount in connection with any LIBOR Rate Loan or any Canadian CDOR Loan hereunder on the date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (b) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan by such Borrower on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, other than pursuant to Section 4.7(b) and (c) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Canadian CDOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period thereof as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 4.7(f). The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s reasonable discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Ratable Share of the LIBOR Rate Loans, in the interbank eurocurrency market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the relevant Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.9 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.9 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation from similarly situated borrowers (to the extent that such Lender has the right to do so under its credit facilities with similarly situated borrowers). The applicable Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 4.10 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments by any Credit Party under any Loan Document or under the Letters of Credit shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholding, and all liabilities with respect thereto, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Withholding Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document or under any Letter of Credit to any Finance Party, (A) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.10) such Finance Party (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the amount such party would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (C) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (D) such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in the manner provided in Section 4.10(e). A Credit Party shall not, however, be required to pay any amounts pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence (i) in respect of, in the case of each Finance Party, income, franchise or similar taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net income (however denominated) imposed by any Governmental Authority, (ii) in respect of, in the case of each Lender, any withholding taxes payable with respect to payments to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or such later date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder) or on the date, if any, on which such Lender changes any applicable Lending Office by designating a different applicable Lending Office (other than pursuant to Section 4.7(e)), but not excluding any withholding taxes payable solely as a result of (1) any change in such Applicable Laws occurring after the Closing Date (or such later date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder) or after the date of



	79

93782947_8

designation of such new Lending Office, as the case may be, or (2) the addition of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a), (iii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction, (iv) in respect of, in the case of any Finance Party, Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 4.10(f), or (v) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being referred to as “Taxes”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10(a), a Credit Party incorporated in France shall not be required to make any increased payments in respect of any tax deduction on account of tax imposed by France on a payment made to a Lender if such tax deduction is imposed solely because this payment is made to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(b) Stamp and Other Taxes. In addition, each Credit Party shall pay any present or future stamp, registration, recordation or documentary taxes or any other similar fees or charges or excise taxes, levies of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made by such Credit Party hereunder (except for the excluded taxes covered by Sections 4.10(a)) or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise similarly with respect to, this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the other Loan Documents, or the perfection of any rights or security interest in respect thereto or the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders under any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”), or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(i) The relevant Credit Party shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent (each a “Finance Party”) for the full amount of Taxes payable or paid by such Finance Party or that such Credit Party should have withheld or deducted from a payment to such Finance Party, but failed to withhold or deduct, pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.10) paid by such Finance Party and any liability (including interest and penalties, if any) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(ii) (1) In the event a claim against any Finance Party arises that is covered by the indemnity provisions of this Section 4.10(c), notice shall be given promptly by such Finance Party to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).

(A) If the relevant Credit Party would be liable for the entire amount of such claim pursuant to this Section 4.10(c), then the relevant Credit Party and the Parent Borrower shall have the right to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any such third-party claim and to control all settlements of any such third-party claim (unless such Finance Party agrees to assume the cost of settlement and to forgo such indemnity) and to select lead counsel to defend any and all such third-party claims at the sole cost and expense of the Parent Borrower, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Parent Borrower may not effect any settlement that could result in any cost, expense or liability to any Finance Party unless such Finance Party consents in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Finance Party may select and engage counsel to participate in any defense, in which event such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of the party selecting and engaging such counsel. In connection with any such claim, action or proceeding, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession.



	80

93782947_8

(B) If the relevant Credit Party would be liable for only a portion of such claim pursuant to this Section 4.10(c), then the relevant Credit Party and the Parent Borrower shall have the right to consult with such Finance Party regarding such claim, any settlement and the selection of lead counsel to defend such claim.

(C) If any Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or has realized a credit or reduction in tax in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the relevant Credit Party or for which such Finance Party has received payment from the relevant Credit Party hereunder, it promptly shall repay the amount of such refund to the relevant Credit Party, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Finance Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the relevant Credit Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (D), in no event with a Finance Party be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this paragraph (D) the payment of which would place the Finance Party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Finance Party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund, credit or reduction in tax had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph (D) shall not be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

(iii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.7(c) and (iii) any excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.10(c)(iii).

(d) No Requirement to Disclose Tax Returns. Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Credit Party or any other person.

(e) Evidence of Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Parent Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.1(b), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.



	81

93782947_8

(f) Delivery of Tax Forms.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and at such other time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or when reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information (A) as will permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (i) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Letter of Credit are subject to Taxes and (ii) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (B) to evidence such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is resident for Federal tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or prior to the date such Participant purchases the related participation) (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by Applicable Law or upon the request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign 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 Parent Borrower



	82

93782947_8

within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form),

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

(VI) executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Laws to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(C) each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of Applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date, and for purposes of this Section 4.10, “Applicable Law” shall include FATCA.

(iii) Each Lender beneficially entitled to a payment from a UK Borrower shall complete any procedural formalities necessary for the relevant UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make



	83

93782947_8

a payment without a UK Tax Deduction and maintain that authorization where an authorization expires or otherwise ceases to have effect.

(iv) A Lender which (A) becomes a party on the Closing Date that holds a current passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme (a “UK Treaty Passport”), and which then wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name on the signature pages to this Agreement or (B) becomes a party after the Closing Date that holds a UK Treaty Passport, and which desires that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party and, having done so, shall discharge its obligation hereunder.

(v) A Lender which has not included an indication described in the preceding clause (iv) but which holds a UK Treaty Passport and subsequently wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement shall notify the relevant UK Borrower of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of its residence.

(g) Lender Status Confirmation. Each Lender confirms that on the date of this Agreement that it is a UK Qualifying Lender. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall confirm, in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a party which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) not a UK Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or

(iii) a UK Treaty Lender.

If a new Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 4.10(g) then such Lender or new Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Parent Borrower). Any Lender that ceases to be a UK Qualifying Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the relevant UK Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 4.10(g).

(h) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties and the Finance Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Finance Parties contained in this Section 4.10 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Aggregate Commitment, but shall be limited in duration to the applicable statute of limitations for Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification or repayment is sought.

(i) Additional Provisions.

(i) The relevant Credit Party shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.10 to the extent that (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.10 or (ii) the obligation with respect to such Taxes or Other Taxes existed on the Closing Date (or later date on which such Lender became a Lender



	84

93782947_8

hereunder) in respect of such Lender or, with respect to payments to a newly designated Lending Office, existed on the date such Lender designated such new Lending Office with respect to a Loan.

(ii) Any Lender or the Administrative Agent claiming any additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall use all reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) that would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue (including but not limited to filing any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or changing the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office).

Section 4.11 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.9.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.5), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Credit Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Credit Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its Ratable Share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, to all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied



	85

93782947_8

to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility without giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 4.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 4.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and, except as set forth below, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be entitled to receive letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 3.3(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral. With respect to any Commitment Fee or letter of credit commission not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender, the Parent Borrower shall (A) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (B) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participation Interests to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans, the Participation Interests of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation shall be given effect only to the extent that, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Revolving A Credit Exposure or Revolving B Credit Exposure, as the case may be (adjusted for this purpose to reflect any reallocation previously made to such Lender under this Section 4.11(a)(iv)), of that Lender.

(v) Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in Section 4.11(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.2(b)(i).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Defaulting Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded Participation Interests to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable



	86

93782947_8

Share (without giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 4.12 Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

(b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

The occurrence of the Closing Date and the acceptance by the Credit Parties of the benefits of each Extension of Credit hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 5.1 and Section



	91

93782947_8

5.2 and applicable to such Extension of Credit have been satisfied as of that time.

ARTICLE VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 6.1 Representations and Warranties. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make Extensions of Credit, the Parent Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that:

(a) Corporate Existence. Each Credit Party (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation; (b) has the requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted; (c) is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) has all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable Law for it to conduct its business, except where the failure to have such Governmental Approvals would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Non-Contravention. Each Credit Party has the corporate, limited liability or other business entity power to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and to borrow hereunder. The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Credit Parties of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability or other business entity action and do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval of the shareholders or members of such Credit Party, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award presently in effect having applicability to such Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or of the constitutional documents, charter or bylaws of such Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any material indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease, or instrument to which such Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (iv) result in the creation of a Lien of any nature upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by such Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary; and each Credit Party and each Restricted Subsidiary is not in default under any such order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease, or instrument or in violation of any such law, rule, or regulation, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No Consent. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of, or filing or registration with, or any other action in respect of any Governmental Authority (other than any filings or reports required under the federal securities laws or except as would not have an adverse effect on any Lender or any Issuing Lender in any material respect) is or will be necessary for the valid execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

(d) Execution and Delivery; Binding Obligations. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party to which it is a party.

Each Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by the Secured Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security

Section 11.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower:

(a) Acceleration: Termination of Facilities. Declare the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the Credit Facilities and any right of any Borrower to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(h), Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.1(j), the Credit Facilities shall be automatically terminated and all Obligations (including the obligation to provide cash collateral pursuant to Section 11.2(b)) shall automatically become due and payable.

(b) Letters of Credit.

(i) With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to Section 11.2(a), (ii) in the event of a repayment under Section 2.4(b) and (iii) in the event there is any Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by any Defaulting Lender), require the relevant Borrower at such time to deposit or cause to be deposited in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent (the “Cash Collateral Account”) an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (or in the amount required under Section 2.4(b) or such Fronting Exposure). In the case of any such Letter of Credit denominated in Euros, Sterling or any Optional Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be calculated at the end of each calendar month in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.2. In the event that the Dollar Equivalent of such amount at the time of any such calculation exceeds the amount deposited in such Cash Collateral Account with respect to such Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower agrees to promptly deposit or cause to be deposited into such Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to such excess. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the relevant Borrower will, promptly, and in any event within three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. Amounts held in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of Swingline Loans, drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof, if any, remaining after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon shall be applied to repay any other unpaid Secured Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the applicable Fronting Exposure shall have been eliminated, the Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such Cash Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the relevant Borrower. If any Borrower is required to provide cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.4(b), such amount, to the extent not applied as aforesaid, shall be promptly returned to the relevant Borrower on demand,



	124

93782947_8

provided that after giving effect to such return (a) no repayment is required under Section 2.4(b)(i) or Section 2.4(b)(ii) and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time.

(ii) Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a Lien upon and security interest in its Cash Collateral Account and all amounts held therein from time to time as security for the Extensions of Credit for the account of such Borrower, and for application to its Reimbursement Obligations and as set forth in Section 2.4(b)(iii) as and when the same shall arise. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account for the benefit of the Secured Parties and such Borrower shall have no interest therein. Other than any interest on the investment of such amounts in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the direction of such Borrower (unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the determination as to investments shall be made at the option and in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), amounts in the Cash Collateral Account shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.

(c) Rights of Collection. Exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations.

(d) Prepayment and Conversion of Foreign Currency Loans. Demand that any or all of the then outstanding Foreign Currency Loans be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Foreign Currency Loans shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(h), Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.1(j), outstanding Foreign Currency Loans shall be automatically redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

Section 11.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

Section 11.4 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 4.2 and 13.2.

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

Section 11.5 Credit Bidding.

(a) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, shall have the right, exercisable at the discretion of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties all or any portion of Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Administrative Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. Such credit bid or purchase may be completed through one or more acquisition vehicles formed by the Administrative Agent to make such credit bid or purchase and, in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is authorized, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles, and assign the applicable Secured Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle in exchange for Equity Interests and/or debt issued by the applicable acquisition vehicle (which shall be deemed to be held for the ratable account of the applicable Secured Parties on the basis of the Secured Obligations so assigned by each Secured Party); provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 13.9.

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party, that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document or with the written consent of the



	126

93782947_8

Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

ARTICLE XII

THE AGENT

Section 12.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Xxxxx Fargo to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the term hereof and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and such other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Issuing Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligation arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Any reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article XII shall be deemed to refer to Xxxxx Fargo solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as a Lender. The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the Parent Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties). In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XII for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Articles XII and XIII (including Section 13.2, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective



	127

93782947_8

Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the 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 (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.2 and Section 13.9) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, any report provided to it by an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.8), (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the utilization of any Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment (it being understood



	128

93782947_8

and agreed that each Issuing Lender shall monitor compliance with its own L/C Commitment without any further action by the Administrative Agent).

Section 12.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated 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 have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent Borrower), 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.

Section 12.5 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 12.6 Indemnification. To the extent that the Parent Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.2 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Arranger, such Issuing Lender, such Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Issuing Lender or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent, such Arranger, such Issuing Lender, or such Swingline Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.6 are subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. The agreements in this Section 12.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, any Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.7 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 12.8 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agents.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation, and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of, the Parent Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. 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 (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Parent Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed 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 the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, 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 each Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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 removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties



	130

93782947_8

in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(i) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (1) unasserted contingent obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under a Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition to a Person other than a Credit Party permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.9;

(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien under Section 9.2(h); and

(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.11. In each case as specified in this Section 12.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under Article X, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.11. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 9.8 to a Person other than a Credit Party, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released without need for further action by any person.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 12.12 Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities. No Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under any Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility that obtains the benefits of Section 4.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities and Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under any Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, as the case may be.

Section 13.2 Expenses, Indemnity. Each party to this Agreement agrees to pay all its own fees and expenses in connection with the Loan Documents and any amendment, modification or waiver of the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Parent Borrower agrees to (a) pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of each Agent and the Arrangers in connection with (i) the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, whenever the same shall be executed and delivered, including without limitation the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket syndication (including, without limitation, all CUSIP fees for registration with the Standard & Poor’s CUSIP Service Bureau) and due diligence expenses and reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one counsel representing the Administrative Agent and a single local counsel in any applicable foreign jurisdiction) and (ii) where applicable, the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, amendment or consent by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Lenders relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without limitation reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel representing the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, (b) pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Issuing Lender, each Swingline Lender and each Lender actually incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders under the Credit Facilities, including, to the extent reasonable under the circumstances, consulting with accountants, attorneys and other Persons concerning the nature, scope or value of any right or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Lender, any Swingline Lender or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any factual matters in connection therewith, which expenses shall include without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of such Persons and (c) pay any civil

penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of any Credit Party that violates a Sanction enforced by OFAC. The Parent Borrower hereby indemnifies, exonerates and holds the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) free and harmless from and against any and all losses, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, reasonable consultants’ fees and settlement costs) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Credit Facilities, the Loans, the Letters of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as a result of the breach of any of the Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder or arising from the use by others of Information or other materials obtained through internet, SyndTrak or other similar transmission systems in connection with the Credit Facilities, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular Indemnitee by reason of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Parent Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.2 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a third party, the Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party. This Section 13.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related liabilities or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 13.3 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process to any Credit Party in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Parent Borrower at its address set forth in Section 13.1(b) or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, it being agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Parent Borrower is hereby appointed as the agent for each Guarantor

and each Subsidiary Borrower to receive on its behalf and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or court;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction;

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 13.4 any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), provided, however, that nothing contained in this clause (e) shall limit the obligations of the Parent Borrower to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in a claim for which an Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 13.2; and

(f) to the extent that any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its Obligations under this Agreement and any Note.

To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties or to any Secured Party directly or the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, which payments or proceeds (including any proceeds of such setoff) or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, other Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Secured Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, and each Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable ratable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made to the Administrative Agent.

Section 13.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Confidentiality.

(a) Benefit of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Credit Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section and (iii) except as permitted by Section 12.8, the Administrative Agent may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

136

93782947_8

(b) Assignment by Lenders.

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 13.7(b)(ii) and Section 13.7(b)(vii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to (1) a Lender, (2) an Affiliate of a Lender, (3) an Approved Fund or (4) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person, provided, further, that the Parent Borrower 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;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities, an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, and, with respect to the Term Loan Facility, an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Credit Facility, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 and the remaining Commitment or Loans of such Lender shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that (A) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; provided further that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Parent Borrower prior to such tenth (10^th) Business Day;

(B) 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 for each assignment;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

137

93782947_8

(D) such assignment shall not, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties (which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge may reasonably be withheld), require the Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party to file a registration statement with the SEC (or any securities exchange) or apply to qualify the Loans (or any Notes) under the blue sky laws of any state;

(E) the Assignee shall represent in the Assignment and Assumption as of the date of such assignment that it has the full power and authority to make Loans and other Extensions of Credit into the jurisdictions and in the currencies made available in the Credit Facility under which it is committing;

(F) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Ratable Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and Participation Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs;

(G) no such assignment shall be made (1) to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (2) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (2) or (3) to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person); and

(H) in the event of an assignment of any Commitment or Loan under any Credit Facility which was made available to Brink’s International, C.V., Brink’s Dutch Holdings, B.V., or any other Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower organized under the laws of The Netherlands, the Assignee must qualify as a Professional Market Party.

For the purposes of this Section 13.7(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of 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 Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender; provided that no Approved Fund shall be entitled to receive any amount pursuant to Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(c) or Section 13.2 that would be greater than the

138

93782947_8

amount the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the portion of the Commitment and Loans assigned to such Approved Fund by such Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 13.7(b)(iv), 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 but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(c) or Section 13.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.7(b) 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 Section 13.7(c) (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person or the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which shall be null and void).

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Incremental Facility Amendment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.

(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 Section 13.7(b)(ii) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.7(b)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 13.7(b), and any such assignment shall be effective upon being recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 13.7(b)(iv). Each of the Parent Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy

139

00000000_8

or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of any Credit Party, any Lender, any Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any existing insolvency proceeding that was not instituted by such party.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7(b), no Lender may assign all or any portion of Loans made to or Letters of Credit issued for the account of Brink’s International Holdings AG, a company formed under the laws of Switzerland, or any other Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower formed under the laws of Switzerland (each, a “Swiss Subsidiary”) to any Assignee other than a Swiss Qualifying Bank if, as a result of any such assignment the Swiss Non-Bank Rules would be breached.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7, no assignment, transfer, sub-participation or subcontracting in relation to a drawing under this Agreement by a Borrower established in France may be effected to any Assignee incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the Parent Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such participation shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) such Lender’s obligations (including, without limitation, its Commitment) under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iv) the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (A) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 13.9 and (B) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.7(c)(ii), the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements of Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a), Section 4.10(c) or Section 13.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.7(b). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.22 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.5 as though it were a Lender.

(ii) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(c) than the applicable participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the

140

93782947_8

extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(c) unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.10(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Certain Pledges or Assignments.

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.7(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall (x) release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, (y) substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto or (z) grant any such pledgee or assignee any rights as a Lender or Participant.

(ii) The Parent Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (i) above.

Section 13.8 Disclosure of Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (after providing notice to the Parent Borrower, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and practicable, to permit an opportunity to seek a protective order or injunctive relief), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement, under any other Loan Document or under any Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facility or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Cash Management Agreement, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facility or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.8, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights

141

93782947_8

or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.8 by the disclosing party or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties unless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as applicable, has actual knowledge that the disclosure of such Information by such source constituted a breach of an obligation of such source to maintain confidentiality of such Information, (i) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information (customarily found in such publications) upon the Parent Borrower’s prior review and approval, (j) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (k) to the extent such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders have not otherwise breached their confidentiality obligations hereunder and have not developed such information based on information received from a third party that to their knowledge has breached confidentiality obligations owing to the Credit Parties or (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For the purposes of this Section 13.8, “Information” means all information received from the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Credit Parties or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Credit Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.8 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.9 Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

(a) Except as set forth below, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders and any consent may be given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by the Credit Parties; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby:

(i) except as expressly contemplated in Section 2.9, increase the amount or extend the time of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit,

(ii) extend the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal (it being understood that a waiver of a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.5(d) shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or the time or times of payment of interest or fees on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation,

(iii) reduce the rate of interest or fees payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (A) to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(c) during the continuance of an Event of Default or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder,

(iv) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation,

142

93782947_8

(v) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or

(vi) change Section 2.5(d)(ii)(D) in a manner that would alter the order of application of amounts prepaid pursuant thereto.

No amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(1) without the consent of each Lender, (A) release (x) the Parent Borrower, (y) all of the Guarantors or (z) the Guarantors comprising substantially all of the credit support for the Secured Obligations, in each case, from the guaranty under Article X (other than as authorized in Section 12.11), (B) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Security Document (other than as authorized in Section 12.11 or as otherwise specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement or the applicable Security Document) without the written consent of each Lender (C) amend the provisions of this Section 13.9 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, (D) change any provision in this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, if any, or amend the provisions of Section 4.4(d), or (E) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Credit Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder,

(2) without the consent of each Revolving A Lender, amend the definition of “Required Revolving A Lenders” or “Revolving A Optional Currency”,

(3) without the consent of each Revolving B Lender, amend the definition of “Required Revolving B Lenders” or “Revolving B Optional Currency”,

(4) without the consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) amend the definition of “Optional Currency”, or (B) amend the provisions of Section 2.11(a)(i) or Section 2.11(b), and

(5) waive any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 to an Extension of Credit constituting a Revolving Credit Loan, without the consent of the Required Revolving A Lenders and/or the Required Revolving B Lenders, as applicable.

In addition, (x) no amendment, waiver or consent to the provisions of (i) Article XII or Section 13.1(c) shall be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) Article III shall be made without the written consent of each Issuing Lender and (iii) Section 2.6 shall be made without the written consent of the Swingline Lender and (y) if any amendment, modification, waiver or consent would adversely affect the Revolving A Lenders relative to the Revolving B Lenders or vice versa, then such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall require the written consent of the Required Revolving A Lenders or Required Revolving B Lenders, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders, the Required Lenders, or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders, the Required Lenders, or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other requisite affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

143

93782947_8

(b) Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect) supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order (w) to correct or cure ambiguities, errors, omissions or defects, (x) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature, (y) to fix incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document or (z) to implement any amendments or modifications required in accordance with Section 2.11(a). The Parent Borrower and any Person party to a Fee Letter may freely amend, modify or waive any Fee Letter without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the applicable MXN Swingline Lender and the Parent Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender in order to effect amendments as may be necessary to implement a MXN Swingline Facility, which amendments shall not be adverse in any material respect to any Lender, in each case as determined in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the applicable French Swingline Lender and the Parent Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender in order to effect amendments as may be necessary to implement a French Swingline Facility, which amendments shall not be adverse in any material respect to any Lender, in each case as determined in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including, without limitation, amendments to this Section 13.9) or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of Section 2.9; provided that no amendment or modification shall result in any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Commitment or any increase in any Lender’s Ratable Share, in each case, without the written consent of such affected Lender.

Section 13.10 Performance of Duties. The Credit Parties’ obligations under this Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall be performed by the Credit Parties at their sole cost and expense.

Section 13.11 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied or the Credit Facilities have not been terminated.

Section 13.12 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

144

93782947_8

(a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and each Credit Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Credit Parties or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Arranger or Lender has advised or is currently advising any Credit Party on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to any Credit Party with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Credit Parties, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.

(b) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Parent Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Credit Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Facilities or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.

Section 13.13 Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XIII and any other provision of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect after the termination of the Lenders’ Commitments hereunder and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before, including after the Parent Borrower’s acceptance of the Lenders’ commitments for the Credit Facilities, notwithstanding any failure of such facility to close.

Section 13.14 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

145

93782947_8

Section 13.15 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.15, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 13.16 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or in electronic (i.e. “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 13.17 Binding Effect; Term of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective at such time, on or after the Closing Date, that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied or waived and when it shall have been executed by each of the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of the signature pages hereto (or electronic counterparts) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender (including the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender), and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, each Lender (including the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender) and the Administrative Agent, together with their permitted successors and assigns.

(b) This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than (i) unasserted contingent obligations and (ii) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities or Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facilities as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank, Bilateral L/C Issuer or holder of Debt under a Secured Closing Date Bilateral Facility shall have been made) shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination.

Section 13.18 Inconsistencies with Other Documents; Independent Effect of Covenants.

146

93782947_8

(a) In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control, provided, that in the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Fee Letter, which conflict or inconsistency relates solely to a matter affecting the parties thereto, such Fee Letter shall control; provided further that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

(b) The Parent Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Article VIII and Article IX hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Parent Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Parent Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VIII or IX.

Section 13.19 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Section 13.20 Judgment Currency. The obligations of any Credit Party in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which such sum originally due to such party is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency. If the amount of the original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such party in the original currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such party to this Agreement, such party agrees to remit to the Credit Party, as the case may be, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 13.21 USA Patriot Act Notice; Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Parent Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including, without limitations, the USA Patriot Act and applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations.

Section 13.22 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to setoff and apply any

147

93782947_8

and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates as to which such right of setoff was exercised. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender, such Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 13.23 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
