Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in the event of a prepayment in full of the Term Facility or Revolving Facility, an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Loans being prepaid). In making any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.8(a), the Borrower may elect to make such prepayment either in respect of the Term Facility or the Revolving Facility and that such prepayment shall otherwise be applied in accordance with Section 2.15(b) and shall be applied, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.8(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a sale of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets or the Capital Stock of the Borrower or a refinancing of all or a part of the Term Facility or Revolving Facility, which sale or refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a)

The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, unless the Borrower pays any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 on the conversion date. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.


		44		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(b)

Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan; provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion, subject to Section 10.1(d), not to permit such continuations; provided further that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(c)

If any Lender determines in good faith that compliance by such Lender with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order applicable to such Lender has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans generally, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Borrower through the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such Borrowing Notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all affected Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by such Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.5 or 2.10(a), the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18, to rescind such request as to all Lenders by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which such Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).

2.12 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a)

Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)

Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)

(i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Unreimbursed Amount shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 plus 2% or (y) in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount (including any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing), the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan, Revolving L/C Advance or any Unreimbursed Amount (including any Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing) or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d)

Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)

Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “ABR”, the interest thereon shall be


		46		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)

Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, the Revolving Facility Issuing Banks and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(a).

2.14 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.23, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a)

the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b)

the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (i) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.15 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a)

Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, subject to Section 2.16, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages and Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(b)

Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans, (i) in the case of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8, as directed by the Borrower, (ii) in the case of any such payment other than pursuant to Section 2.8 and other than pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(iii) or Section 2.9(a)(iv)(A), first, in direct order of maturity to remaining scheduled installments thereof occurring within the 12-month period immediately following such prepayment; and second, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof (including the scheduled installment due on the Maturity Date) and (iii) in the case of any payment pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(iii) or Section 2.9(a)(iv)(A), to each remaining scheduled installment in the amount, if any, necessary to cause the projected Debt Service Coverage Ratio to equal at least 1.35:1.00 ((x) assuming P50 production by the Projects (after giving pro forma effect to the Specified Asset Disposition), and (y) excluding the final principal installment of the Term Loan payable on the Maturity Date, provided that such final principal installment shall be substantially consistent with the corresponding percentage set forth in Schedule 2.3 delivered on the Closing Date), as set forth in the Projections delivered as of the Closing Date as modified solely to reflect the removal of any Project that was disposed in the corresponding Specified Asset Disposition or PPA Buyout (as applicable), as determined by the Borrower in good faith and notified to the Administrative Agent in writing promptly upon the occurrence of any Specified Asset Disposition or PPA Buyout (as applicable). Schedule 2.3 shall be amended and restated in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth in the updates to the Projections delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15(b). Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.

(c)

Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the outstanding principal amounts of all of the Revolving Loans then held by all of the Revolving Lenders. Any Revolving Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.9(c) may not be re-borrowed. Any Revolving Loans repaid or prepaid other than pursuant to Section 2.9(c) may be re-borrowed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


		48		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(d)

All payments (including prepayments, but excluding payments made pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) of this Agreement) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lender Parties, at the Funding Office (or by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent Account, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Administrative Agent), in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender Party promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender Party pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e)

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.


		49		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(f)

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

2.16 Requirements of Law.

(a)

If any Lender Party shall have determined in good faith that any Change in Law:

(i)

shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender Party that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii)

shall impose on such Lender Party any other condition (other than with respect to taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender Party, by an amount that such Lender Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.


		50		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(b)

If any Lender Party shall have determined in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender Party or any direct or indirect parent entity or company controlling such Lender Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender Party’s or such direct or indirect parent entity’s or company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender Party or such direct or indirect parent entity or company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender Party’s or such direct or indirect parent entity’s or company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender Party to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender Party or such direct or indirect parent entity or company for such reduction.

(c)

A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 submitted by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Borrower of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17 Taxes.

(a)

Except as required by law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes (including branch profits) and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party having executed, delivered or performed its


		51		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required reductions of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17), the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such reduction or withholding been made; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender Party with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender Party’s failure (other than as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.17 or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes that would be imposed on amounts payable to such Lender Party (A) as of the date hereof, in the case of any Lender Party that is a Lender Party as of the date hereof, (B) in the case of any Lender Party that becomes a Lender Party after the date hereof, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party, or (C) at the time such Lender Party designates a new lending office, except that, with respect to the preceding clauses (B) and (C), this clause (ii) shall not apply, to the extent that such Lender Party or such Lender Party’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office or assignment, as applicable, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph or (iii) imposed pursuant to FATCA or (iv) any U.S. backup withholding taxes imposed on a U.S. Lender.

(b)

In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)

Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are paid by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender Party a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof (or, if the Borrower reasonably determines that it is unable to provide a certified copy of such receipt, a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the amount of such payment). If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party as a result of any such failure.

Each Lender Party (or Transferee) that is not properly treated as a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) (i) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8IMY (which Form W-8IMY shall be accompanied by all documentation contemplated by that form), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2 and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) shall (and shall cause other persons acting on its behalf to) reasonably comply with any information gathering and reporting requirements (including entering into any agreement with the Internal Revenue Service), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum available exemption from any U.S. federal withholding taxes that is available with respect to payments received by or on behalf of such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Lender Party (or Transferee) that is properly treated as a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent version thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender Party (or Participant, as the case may be), certifying that such Lender Party (or Participant, as the case may be) is a United States person and is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax in respect to all payments under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender Party on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Lender Party shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender Party. Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose) or otherwise to comply with the requirements of any exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, no Lender Party shall be required to take any action or deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender Party is not legally able to take or deliver; provided that any Lender Party that is a Lender Party as of the Closing Date shall be required to comply with the first sentence or second sentence, as applicable, of this paragraph as of the Closing Date.

(e)

Any Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender Party is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender Party’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender Party.

(f)

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

		55		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

2.18 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) any rescission of any notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(b).

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

(a)

Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted to the extent set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority Facility Lenders”; provided that a Defaulting Lender shall retain its voting rights where any of its outstanding Revolving Commitments or Revolving Extensions of Credit are being extended or increased, where payments of outstanding interest and principal are being reduced or waived, or where the applicable interest rate thereon is being reduced or waived.

Subject to Section 2.21(e), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7(c) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender pro rata to the Revolving Facility Issuing Banks hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Revolving Facility Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential


		57		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

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 2.21(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)

No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or letter of credit fee pursuant to Section 2.6(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or letter of credit fee pursuant to Section 2.6(c) that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(d)

With respect to any fees payable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or letter of credit fee payable pursuant to Section 2.6(c) not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) above, the Borrower shall (i) pay to each non-defaulting Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Revolving L/C Obligations under the applicable Revolving Facility that has been reallocated to such non-defaulting Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility pursuant to paragraph (g) below, (ii) pay to each Revolving Facility Issuing Bank under the applicable Revolving Facility the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure under the applicable Revolving Facility to such Defaulting Lender and (iii) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.


		58		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(e)

If the Loan Parties, the Revolving Facility Issuing Banks under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities, and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Revolving Lender is no longer 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 Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations of the other Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities, or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities, in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility or Facilities, whereupon such Revolving 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 Loan Parties while that Revolving 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 Revolving Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(f)

If a consent, waiver or vote of all Lenders is required for any action under the Loan Documents, or the consent or waiver of a Defaulting Lender is required pursuant to Section 2.21(a) or 10.1, then an affirmative consent, waiver or vote of the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed given if such Defaulting Lender does not provide a written response within twenty (20) days after the date of a written notice to the Defaulting Lender requesting such vote or consent.

(g)

(i) All or any part of any Defaulting Lender’s participation in Revolving L/C Obligations under the Revolving Facility, shall be reallocated among the non-defaulting Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages in respect of the Revolving Facility (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment under the Revolving Facility) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Revolving Facility of any such non-defaulting Revolving Lender under the Revolving Facility (after giving effect to any such reallocation) to


		59		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

exceed such non-defaulting Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment under the Revolving Facility. Subject to Section 2.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claims of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a no-defaulting Revolving Lender as a result of such non-defaulting Revolving Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(ii) If the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Revolving Facility Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21.

(h)

So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied, that it will have no Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender after giving effect thereto.

(i)

To the extent that any Revolving Facility Issuing Bank receives notice in writing from any Lender that such Lender does not intend to comply with its funding obligations, it shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

2.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.

2.23 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(a) On the date that all Available Tenors of LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator or have been announced by the Financial Conduct Authority pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Compounded SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly or quarterly basis as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, (i) the component of ABR based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of ABR; and (ii) the ABR will be the greatest of clauses (a), (b) and (d) of the definition thereof.

(c) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.


		61		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders), in each case in consultation with the Borrower, pursuant to this Section 2.23, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.23.

(e) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or unrepresentative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(f) Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of each of the other parties hereto: (i) LIBOR (A) may be subject to methodological or other changes which could affect its value, and/or (B) may be permanently discontinued; and (ii) the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events and/or a Benchmark Transition Event may have adverse consequences which may materially impact the economics and/or each Loan Party’s commercial expectations of the financing transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(i)

Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Revolving L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

Subject to the final sentence of this paragraph, in the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Revolving L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the Revolving Facility

The applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall not unreasonably delay the issuance of a Letter of Credit or unreasonably reject any provisions reasonably requested by the Borrower to be modified in the Revolving L/C Application or Revolving L/C Documents in order to be not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)

Promptly after receipt of any Revolving L/C Application, the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Revolving L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.


		64		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(iii)

If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Revolving L/C Application, the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit shall permit such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued (it being understood that each Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall be entitled to give such notice of non-renewal to the extent of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as of the date on which it is entitled to give such notice of non-renewal). Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided that such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if a Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred that is continuing.

(iv)

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)

Drawings and Reimbursement; Funding of Participations.

(i)

Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. If such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of any payment by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such payment, the Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall reimburse such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next


		65		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

Business Day; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such payment date, then the Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall reimburse such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor fails to so reimburse such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank by such time, such failure shall not be a considered a Default or an Event of Default hereunder and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such payment date, the applicable Unreimbursed Amount in respect of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Loans to be disbursed under the applicable Revolving Facility on such payment date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples for an ABR Loan specified in this Agreement. Any notice given by a Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)

Each applicable Revolving Lender (including each Revolving Lender acting as a Revolving Facility Issuing Bank) shall upon any notice pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) above make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s office set forth in Section 10.2 in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Percentage of the relevant Unreimbursed Amount of any applicable Letter of Credit not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)(iii) below, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be made to the Borrower in such amount as an ABR Loan under the applicable Revolving Facility. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank in accordance with the instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank; provided that, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Administrative Agent).

(iii)

With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility because a Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred that is continuing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank a Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest thereon at the default interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(c) then applicable to ABR Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility). In such event, each applicable Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) above shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawing and shall constitute in the case of any Revolving Lender, a Revolving L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.1.

(iv)

Until each applicable Revolving Lender funds its applicable Revolving Loans or Revolving L/C Advance to reimburse the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any applicable Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank.

(v)

Each Revolving Lender’s obligations to make Revolving Loans or Revolving L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this paragraph (c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or Revolving L/C Advances pursuant to this paragraph (c) is subject to no Bankruptcy Event of Default having occurred which is continuing. No such funding of a participation in any Letter of Credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the joint and several obligation of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors to reimburse the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)

If any applicable Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) by the time specified in paragraph (c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (exclusive of interest and fees as aforesaid) shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s applicable Revolving Loan or applicable Revolving L/C Advance under the applicable Revolving Facility, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be prima facie evidence of such amounts absent manifest error.

(d)

Repayment of Participations.

(i)

If, at any time after a Revolving Facility Issuing Bank has made payment in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any applicable Revolving Lender its Revolving L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 3.1(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its applicable Revolving Percentage under the applicable Revolving Facility thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s applicable Revolving L/C Advance under the applicable Revolving Facility was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)

if any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Revolving Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.7 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(iii)

any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(v)

any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi)

any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against any Revolving Facility Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

None of the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, any Agent Indemnitee nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the applicable Revolving Facility, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Revolving L/C Application. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby assume all risks of the

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Revolving Facility Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of Revolving L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken, subject in both cases to Section 10.1(d): (i) 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 Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon

the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) 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 Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of Revolving L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all obligations under Interest Rate Hedging Agreements) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

To the extent not already cash collateralized or Cash Collateralized, upon any acceleration of Revolving L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 8, with respect to all applicable Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of such acceleration, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 102.5% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Revolving L/C Unreimbursed Drawings shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind from the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to a Default or Event of Default are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any proceeds received as a result of the exercise of any remedies by the Lenders shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

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

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lender Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Holdings or any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Holdings or any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes; provided such payee’s rights are recorded in the Register, unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, in both cases, subject to Section 10.1(d)) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders, in both cases, subject to Section 10.1(d)), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Revolving Facility Issuing Banks, all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.


		117		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender Party or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lender Parties. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lender Parties.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender Party. Each Lender Party represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder or issue Letters of Credit, as applicable, and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lender Parties by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification.

(a)

The Lenders (other than any Lender solely in its capacity as a Revolving Facility Issuing Bank) agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to such Lender’s respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,


		118		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b)

Each of the Revolving Lenders agree to indemnify each Revolving Facility Issuing Bank in its capacity solely as a Revolving Facility Issuing Bank and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, a “Revolving L/C Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to such Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Revolving Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Revolving Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Revolving L/C Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the issuances of any Letters of Credit or any obligations of any Revolving Facility Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Revolving L/C Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Revolving Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Revolving L/C Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings or any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not such hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Revolving Facility Issuing Bank”, “Revolving Facility Issuing Banks”, “Lender” and “Lenders” (in each case to the extent applicable) shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.


		119		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lender Parties and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then, subject to Section 10.1(d), the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 8(a) or 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

9.10 Removal of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding and, subject to Section 10.1(d), if at any time the Required Lenders determine that the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may by notice to the Borrower and such Person, and subject to the reasonable approval of the Borrower, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the reasonable approval of the Borrower, appoint a replacement Administrative Agent hereunder. Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice by the Required Lenders (regardless of whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed; provided that if no replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent pursuant to this Section 9.10). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund holds Loans or Commitments, no such Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund, in its capacity as Lender may act to remove any such Person as Administrative Agent.

9.11 Lead Arrangers. The Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.


		120		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

9.12 Appointment of Collateral Agent. Each Lender Party hereby consents and agrees to the appointment by the Administrative Agent on its behalf of the Collateral Agent as the agent of the Secured Parties under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be an express third party beneficiary of Section 10.1(a)(viii) and Section 10.5.

9.13 Reliance Letters and Work Product Agreements. Each of the Lenders hereby consents and agrees to the Administrative Agent’s entry into the reliance letters and use of work product agreements referred to in Section 5.1(d) on its behalf, and agrees that to the extent applicable the terms and conditions set forth in each such reliance letter or use of work product agreement, as applicable, shall bind each Lender as though it were directly a party thereto.

9.14 Erroneous Payments.

(a)

If the Administrative Agent (i) notifies a Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (ii) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.14 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest


		121		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)

Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i)

it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)

such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b).


		122		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.14(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)

Each Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d)

(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have


		123		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 10.6 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e)

The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Revolving Facility Issuing Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 9.14 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the


		124		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

case in a manner adverse to any Secured Interest Rate Hedge Provider, without (A) the written consent of such Secured Interest Rate Hedge Provider or (B) in the case of a Secured Interest Rate Hedging Agreement provided or arranged by a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (or provided or arranged by any Person who was a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time of execution and delivery of an Interest Rate Hedging Agreement), the written consent of such Lender or Affiliate of a Lender (or such Person who was a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time of execution and delivery of an Interest Rate Hedging Agreement). Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lender Parties and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.1(a), this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to correct any typographical errors, drafting mistakes or other similar mistakes that do not modify the intended rights and obligations of the parties hereto or (ii) to provide for, evidence or effectuate actions that are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any change in GAAP would affect any computation, basket or defined term set forth in any Loan Document, and the Borrower shall at such time or thereafter so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend the relevant provisions of the Loan Documents to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, such computation, basket or defined term shall continue to be computed in conformity with GAAP but without giving effect to such identified changes to GAAP. Any amendment pursuant to this paragraph shall not require the consent of any Secured Party other than the Administrative Agent.

(d)

To the extent that any Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund holds Loans or Commitments, no such Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund, in its capacity as Lender, shall (i) have any voting or approval rights whatsoever under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of any action requiring the approval of “Required Lenders”, “Majority Facility Lenders” or pursuant to Section 10.1) other than with respect to those matters (x) set forth in Sections 10.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iv), to the extent such Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund is a Lender affected


		127		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

thereby, (y) that disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund in its capacity as a Lender as compared to the effect of such matters on the other Lenders, or be permitted to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Agent or any other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) pursuant to or with respect to the Loan Documents or (z) that specifically require the consent of each Lender, (ii) be permitted to, in its capacity as a Lender, attend any meeting or conference call with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Agent, any other Lenders or the Borrower, receive any information from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Agent, any Lender (other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, notices of prepayments, and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2 or 3) or the Borrower or have any rights of inspection or access relating to the Borrower or (iii) be permitted to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as Lender, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Agent or any other Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Person under the Loan Documents other than in the case of a material breach by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary Agent or any other Lender to such Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund (except with respect to any such breaches applicable to the Lenders generally unless the other Lenders have made or brought such claims). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (including Section 10.7(a)), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each applicable Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund shall be entitled, in their respective sole discretion, to cancel or retire any Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund.

(e)

Each Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby agrees, that, if Holdings or any Loan Party or any of their assets shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law (“Bankruptcy Proceedings”), (i) such Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, shall not take any step or action in such Bankruptcy Proceeding to object to, impede, or delay the exercise of any right or the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent (or the taking of any action by a third party that is supported by the Administrative Agent) in relation to such Affiliated Lender’s claim with respect to its Loans (an “Affiliated Lender Claim”) (including, without limitation, objecting to any debtor in possession financing, use of cash collateral, grant of adequate protection, sale or disposition, compromise, or plan of reorganization) so long as such Affiliated Lender is treated in connection with such exercise or action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders and (ii) with respect to any matter requiring the vote of Lenders during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Proceeding (including, without limitation, voting on any plan of reorganization), the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender (and any Affiliated Lender Claim with respect thereto) shall be deemed to be voted


		128		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

in such Bankruptcy Proceeding in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, so long as such Affiliated Lender is treated in connection with the exercise of such right or taking of such action on the same or better terms as the other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, agrees and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this Section 10.1(e), constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where Holdings or a Loan Party has filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders) specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, the Borrower may make one or more loan modification offers to all the Lenders of a Facility that would, if and to the extent accepted by any such Lender, (x) extend the Maturity Date applicable to such Facility and any amortization of the Loans and Commitments under such Facility and/or change the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable (provided that any changes consisting of increases to the Applicable Margin or fees shall not take effect prior to the Maturity Date applicable to such Facility) with respect to the Loans and Commitments under such Facility (in each case solely with respect to the Loans and Commitments of accepting Lenders in respect of which an acceptance is delivered) and (y) treat the Loans and Commitments so modified as a new “Facility” for all purposes under this Agreement; provided that (i) such loan modification offer is made to each Lender under such Facility on the same terms and subject to the same procedures as are applicable to all other Lenders under such Facility (which procedures in any case shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) no loan modification shall affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Facility Issuing Bank, without its prior written consent.

(g)

In connection with any such loan modification, the Borrower and each accepting Lender (and, to the extent applicable, each Revolving Facility Issuing Bank) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such agreements and other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the applicable loan modification offer and the terms and conditions thereof, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be effective only with respect to the applicable Loans and Commitments of Lenders that shall have accepted the relevant loan modification offer (and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments as to which any such Lender has accepted the loan modification offer)) to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative


		129		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

Agent, to reflect the existence of, and to give effect to the terms and conditions of, the applicable loan modification (including the addition of such modified Loans and/or Commitments as a “Facility” hereunder). No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to accept any loan modification offer, and may reject any such offer in its sole discretion. On the effective date of any loan modification applicable to the Revolving Facility, the Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility on such effective date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.18) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans under the Revolving Facility ratable with any revised Revolving Percentage under the Revolving Facility of a Revolving Lender in respect of the Revolving Facility arising from any nonratable loan modification to the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification referred to above shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1 with respect to the Loan Parties.

10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile or other electronic communication), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lender Parties, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert, and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives (on behalf of itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries (if any)), all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of any Revolving Facility Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.

(b) (i)

Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:


		132		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(A)

the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee;

(B)

the Administrative Agent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or a Revolving Commitment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, or an Approved Fund; and

(C)

with respect to any assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, each Revolving Facility Issuing Bank which is fronting for the applicable Revolving Lender proposing to assign its Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan; provided, that (x) such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, (y) no consent of such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment to a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank Lender, and (z) if ING Capital LLC is the Revolving Lender proposing to assign its Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment, no consent of such Revolving Facility Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment to an Affiliate of ING Capital LLC, which is a rated entity or provides a guarantee from a rated entity.

(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, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank, or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates, a central bank or Federal Reserve Bank or Approved Funds, if any;


		133		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(B)

(1) the assigning Lender and the Assignee party 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 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that only one such fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in connection with simultaneous assignments by a Lender to two or more Approved Funds, and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

(C)

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

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course 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.

(iii)

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6.


		134		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(iv)

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and Revolving 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, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. Any assignment or transfer of a Loan shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Ownership of an interest is required to be reflected in a book entry, whether or not physical securities are issued.

(v)

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, 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.

Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Loan Party or any subsidiary of the Borrower) (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 (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties 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


		135		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such Participant complies with Sections 2.17(a), (d), (e) and (h).

(iii)

Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations (each, a “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such Commitments, Loans and Revolving L/C Obligations as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)

Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 or central bank, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


		136		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(e)

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

(f)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided 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.

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to any Affiliated Lender or any Affiliated Debt Fund, but only if after giving effect to such assignment, Affiliated Lenders shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding (calculated as of the date of such purchase).

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a)

Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender Party or to the Lender Parties under a particular Facility, if any Lender Party (a “Benefited Lender Party”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment or participation made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender Party, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender Party, such Benefited Lender Party shall purchase for cash from the other Lender Parties a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender Party, or shall provide such other Lender Parties with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender Party to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lender Parties; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender Party, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender Parties provided by law, each Lender Party shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable and not paid by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender Party, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.7, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.

10.18 Scope of Liability.

(a)

Except as set forth in this Section 10.18, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or instrument executed by any Loan Party pursuant hereto or thereto, none of the Secured Parties shall have any claims with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder against the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates (other than the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or, solely to the extent of the interests of Holdings in the Collateral, Holdings), any present or future holder (whether direct or indirect) of any Capital Stock in any Loan Party (other than any such Capital Stock owned by another Loan Party), or, in the case of any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Loan Parties), shareholders, officers, directors, employees, representatives, controlling persons, executives or agents (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Persons”), such claims against such Non-Recourse Persons (including as may arise by operation of law) being expressly waived hereby; provided that the foregoing provision of this Section 10.18 shall not (i) constitute a waiver, release or discharge (or otherwise impair the enforceability) of any of the Obligations, or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the same shall continue (subject to clause (iv) below, but without personal liability of the Non-Recourse Persons) until fully paid, discharged, observed, or performed; (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any lien or security interest purported to be created pursuant to the Security Documents (or otherwise impair the ability of any Secured Party to realize or foreclose upon any Collateral); (iii) limit or restrict the right of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (or any assignee, beneficiary or successor to any of them) to name Holdings or any Loan Party or any other person as a defendant in any action or suit for a judicial foreclosure or for the exercise of any other remedy under or with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for injunction or specific performance, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment shall be enforced against any Non-Recourse Person, except as set forth in other provisions of this Section 10.18; (iv) in any way limit or restrict any right or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) with respect to, and each of the Non-Recourse Persons shall remain fully liable to the extent that it would otherwise be liable for its own actions with respect to, any actual fraud (which shall not include innocent or negligent misrepresentation), willful misrepresentation, fraudulent conveyance or misappropriation of revenues, profits or proceeds from or of the Project or any Collateral, that should or would have been paid as provided herein or paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Depositary Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (or any assignee or beneficiary thereof or successor thereto) towards any payment required under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (v) affect or diminish in any way or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any obligation, covenant, or agreement made by any of the Non-Recourse Persons under or in connection with any Loan Document (or as security for the Obligations of the Borrower).


		142		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(b)

The limitations on recourse set forth in this Section 10.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of all Commitments and the full payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10.19 ERISA Representation. Each Lender represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date and, if applicable, as of the date such Person becomes a Lender party hereto, and covenants, from the date such Person becomes a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases to be a Lender party hereto, to, and for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that such Lender is not and will not be (a) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code or (d) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.

10.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.


		143		Sunshine (Northeast) – Credit Agreement

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
