THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AND TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 6, 2017, is entered into by and among INVITATION HOMES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as Borrower, the LENDERS party hereto, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

The Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide certain revolving and term loan credit facilities, and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Definitions

SECTION 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.

“Act” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.15.

“Additional Credit Extension Amendment” means an amendment to this Agreement providing for any New Revolving Commitments and/or New Term Loans which shall be consistent with the applicable provisions of this Agreement relating to New Revolving Commitments and/or New Term Loans and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the New Revolving Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower.

“Additional Subsidiary Guarantor” means any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to provide a Subsidiary Guaranty in accordance with Section 5.09(a).

“Adjustment Index” means the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, a repeat sales, value and interval weighted, econometric home price index model that measures changes in U.S. single-family housing market prices.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period or any ABR Borrowing bearing interest in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

“Administrative Agent” means Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, and any successor thereto appointed pursuant to Article VIII.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an administrative questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

“Agent Party” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.01(d).

“Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble to this Agreement.

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus one half of one percent (0.50%) and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period for such day plus one percent (1.00%). Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.

“Applicable Rate” means, (i) as of the Effective Date and continuing until the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election, the Applicable Rate – Leverage, and (ii) from and after the first Business Day following the date on which the Borrower makes an effective Investment Grade Election, the Applicable Rate – Rating. Such Investment Grade Election and the application of the Applicable Rate – Rating shall be irrevocable once made.

“Applicable Rate – Leverage” means, for any day, with respect to each Type and Class of Loan, as the case may be, the number of basis points determined by the range into which the Total Leverage Ratio then falls in the table below:


Level	Total Leverage Ratio	Revolving Loan:				Term Loan:
Level	Total Leverage Ratio	Adjusted LIBO Rate - Applicable Rate (bps)		ABR - Applicable Rate (bps)		Adjusted LIBO Rate - Applicable Rate (bps)		ABR - Applicable Rate (bps)
Level I	< 40%		175		75		170		70
Level II	³40% and <45%		185		85		180		80
Level III	³45% and <50%		200		100		195		95
Level IV	³50% and <55%		215		115		210		110
Level V	³55%		230		130		230		130

For purposes of this definition, any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate - Leverage resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iii); provided, however, that if such Compliance Certificate is not delivered within thirty (30) days after notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower notifying the Borrower of the failure to deliver such Compliance Certificate on the date when due in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iii), then the Applicable Rate - Leverage shall be the number of basis points that would apply to Level V of the table set forth in this definition above and it shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered. The Applicable Rate - Leverage from the Effective Date until the delivery of the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017 shall be based on Level II.

If at any time the Financial Statements upon which the Applicable Rate - Leverage was determined were incorrect (whether based on a restatement, fraud or otherwise), the Borrower shall be required to retroactively pay (or, if applicable, the Lenders will be required to credit against the next interest payment(s) due from the Borrower hereunder) any additional amount that the Borrower would have been required to pay (or, if applicable, should not have paid) if such Financial Statements had been accurate at the time they were delivered.

“Applicable Rate – Rating” means, for any day, with respect to each Type and Class of Loan, as the case may be, the number of basis points determined by the range into which the Debt Rating then falls in the table below:


Level	Debt Rating (S&P / Xxxxx’x )	Revolving Loan:						Term Loan:
Level	Debt Rating (S&P / Xxxxx’x )	Adjusted LIBO Rate - Applicable Rate (bps)		ABR - Applicable Rate (bps)		Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate (bps)		Adjusted LIBO Rate - Applicable Rate (bps)		ABR - Applicable Rate (bps)
Level I	A- / A3		85		0		12.5		90		0
Level II	BBB+ / Baa1		90		0		15		95		0
Level III	BBB / Baa2		100		0		20		110		10
Level IV	BBB- / Baa3		120		20		25		135		35
Level V	Less than BBB- / Baa3 or unrated		155		55		30		175		75

If at any time the Borrower has more than one Debt Rating, and such Debt Ratings do not fall in the same Level of the table set forth in this definition, then: (A) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is one Level (e.g., BBB- by S&P and Baa2 by Xxxxx’x), the Applicable Rate - Rating shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the higher of the Debt Ratings (e.g., Level III); (B) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is two Levels (e.g., BBB- by S&P and Baa1 by Xxxxx’x), the Applicable Rate - Rating shall be determined based on the average of the applicable Debt Ratings (e.g., Level III) and (C) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is three Levels (e.g., BBB- by S&P and A3 by Xxxxx’x), the Applicable Rate - Rating shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the Debt Rating that is one Level above the Level corresponding to the lower of the applicable Debt Ratings (e.g., Level III).

If each of S&P and Xxxxx’x discontinue their Debt Ratings of the REIT industry or the Borrower, the Borrower may seek a corporate rating from another substitute rating agency reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. For the period from the date of such discontinuance until the date the Borrower receives a corporate rating from such new, approved rating agency, the Applicable Rate - Rating and the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be the number of basis points that would apply to Level V of the table set forth in this definition above.

If a downgrade or discontinuance of the Debt Rating by S&P or Xxxxx’x results in an increase in the Applicable Rate - Rating or the Revolving Credit Facility Fee and if such increase is reversed and the affected Applicable Rate - Rating or Revolving Credit Facility Fee is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at the Borrower’s request, the Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Loans and the differential on the Revolving Credit Facility Fee during such period of downgrade or discontinuance.

If an upgrade of the Debt Rating by S&P or Xxxxx’x results in a decrease in the Applicable Rate - Rating or Revolving Credit Facility Fee and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Rate - Rating or Revolving Credit Facility Fee is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Loans and the differential on the Revolving Credit Facility Fee during such period of upgrade.

“Approved Counterparty” means (a) the Administrative Agent, Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or Lender at the time it entered into a Secured Hedge Agreement, in its capacity as a party thereto, in each case notwithstanding whether such Approved Counterparty ceases to be the Administrative Agent, Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or Lender after entering into such Secured Hedge Agreement, and (b) any other Person from time to time approved in writing by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the

Swingline Lender which originally made such Swingline Loan. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the applicable Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the applicable Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) Removal and Addition of a Swingline Lenders.

(i) A Swingline Lender may be removed as a Swingline Lender at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Lender, including the Swingline Lender being removed. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such removal of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such removal shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the removed Swingline Lender pursuant to this Agreement. After the removal of a Swingline Lender hereunder, (i) the removed Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such removal, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such removed Swingline Lender as the context shall require.

(ii) A Lender may be added as a Swingline Lender at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and the Lender becoming a Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such addition of a Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such addition, (i) the new Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans to be made by such Swingline Lender thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such new Swingline Lender as the context shall require.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Swingline Lender on or before 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Loan Borrowing that such Swingline Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Swingline Lender’s ratable share (based on the then number of Swingline Lenders) of such Swingline Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Swingline Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Swingline Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Swingline Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Swingline Lender, 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 or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Swingline Loans. If such Swingline Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Swingline Lender’s pro rata share such Swingline Loan Borrowing.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on all Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Percentage in accordance with this Section 2.05, principal and interest received on account of such Swingline Loan shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lenders on a ratable basis.

(g) Until such time as any Swingline Loan is refinanced under Section 2.05(c), Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lenders.

SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request and the specified Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit with the Borrower being the applicant thereof for the support of Borrower’s or the Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to the applicable Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank which is being requested to issue (or issued, in the case of an amendment, renewal or extension) the Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date three (3) Business Days in advance or such shorter period as the applicable Issuing Bank shall agree to) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the identity of the Issuing Bank selected by the Borrower to issue such Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (iii) the LC Issuing Bank Exposure of any Issuing Bank shall not exceed its ratable share of the $50,000,000 Letter of Credit sublimit, unless agreed in writing by such Issuing Bank and (iv) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposure of such Issuing Bank exceeding the amount of such Issuing Bank’s then Revolving Commitment.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension, which renewals or extensions, subject to clause (ii) hereof, may be automatic pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit so long as such Issuing Bank shall have the right to prevent such renewal or extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is not more than twelve (12) months after the Revolving Maturity Date so long as (x) the Borrower

shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.06(j) on or prior to forty-five (45) days before the Revolving Maturity Date in an amount equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the LC Exposure with respect to all such Letters of Credit with expiry dates after the Revolving Maturity Date, (y) the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.06 in respect of such Letters of Credit shall survive the Revolving Maturity Date and shall remain in effect until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding and (z) each Lender shall remain obligated hereunder, to the extent any such cash collateral, the application thereof or reimbursement in respect thereof is required to be returned to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent after the Revolving Maturity Date until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit, such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments

pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that nothing in this Section shall be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank issuing a Letter of Credit shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including

the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Removal and Addition of an Issuing Bank.

(i) An Issuing Bank may be removed as an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, including the Issuing Bank being removed. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such removal of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such removal shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the removed Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(c). After the removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, (i) the removed Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such removed Issuing Bank as the context shall require.

(ii) A Lender may be added as an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lender becoming an Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such addition of an Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such addition, (i) the new Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such new Issuing Bank as the context shall require.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (A) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty percent (50%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (B) required by Section 2.06(c), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the satisfaction of the LC Exposure. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in Cash Equivalents at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank ratably (based on the unreimbursed LC Disbursements held by each Issuing Bank) for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by such Issuing Bank, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly, but in no event later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower or other account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, 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 or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loan Borrowings, which Borrowings may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, or delivery through an electronic platform or electronic transmission system approved by the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by an Authorized Officer.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)

the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)

the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)

whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)

if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing under such Facility may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date and (b) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate following disbursement of the Term Loans on the Effective Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under a particular Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not

terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under a particular Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan on the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the fifteenth (15^th) or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in substantially the form of Exhibit D. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender one or more promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein, unless such assignee elects not to receive a

Note (in which case such assignor shall return to the Borrower any Note issued to it, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form) (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). Upon either (a) payment in full of the Loans evidenced by any such promissory note and termination of the Commitments relating thereto or (b) the assignment of such Loans and Commitments in accordance with Section 9.04 hereof, each such promissory note shall be promptly returned to the Borrower by the payee named therein at the request of the Borrower or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of such Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form.

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.16), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by hand delivery, or delivery through an electronic platform or electronic transmission system approved by the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent of a written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to the prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the applicable Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. Any portion of the Term Loan that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, the amount of such excess.

SECTION 2.12 Fees. (a) At all times prior to the date on which an effective Investment Grade Election is made, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, an unused facility fee (the “Revolving Unused Facility Fee”), computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period for which payment is made, which Revolving Unused Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the applicable period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and on the date the Revolving Commitments terminate. All Revolving Unused Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) On and after the date on which an effective Investment Grade Election is made, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a revolving credit facility fee (the “Revolving Credit Facility Fee”), equal to the Revolving Credit Facility Fee Rate multiplied by the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender (regardless of usage and provided that if the Revolving Commitments terminate, then the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall continue to accrue and be determined based on the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Revolving Lender) during the period for which payment is made, which Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the applicable period, commencing on the first such date to occur after an effective Investment Grade Election is made, and on the date the Revolving Commitments terminate. All Revolving Unused Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) During such time as any LC Exposure exists, the Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the actual daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, a fronting fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum multiplied by the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall accrue interest through and including the last day of each calendar quarter and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the last day of each of March, June, September and December during the applicable period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date on which LC Exposure exists; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Diligence Agent, the mutually agreed fees due and payable to the Diligence Agent.

(f) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to any Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for its own account or for distribution to the applicable Lenders, as the case may be. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, as applicable.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, as applicable.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, at the option of the Required Lenders, all overdue Obligations (which shall include all Obligations following an acceleration under Section 7.01, including an automatic acceleration) shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, two percent (2%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, two percent (2%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate (including ABR Loans and Borrowings the interest on which is computed by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) In the event that the Borrower achieves an Investment Grade Rating and makes the Investment Grade Election, then the Applicable Rate and the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be based on the Applicable Rate – Rating as of the first Business Day of the first calendar month following the calendar month in which the Borrower effectively makes the Investment Grade Election. Once effectively made, the Investment Grade Election shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Facility Lenders under a particular Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing under such Facility for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing under such Facility to, or continuation of any

Borrowing under such Facility as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing under such Facility, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case in an amount that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient deems to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender or such Issuing Bank has determined to require such additional amount or amounts in good faith on a basis that is not arbitrary.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Any request for compensation pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section as a result of a Change in Law shall only be honored to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank represents that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, is generally seeking compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities with respect to such Change in Law.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of anticipated profits); provided that each such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate any such loss, cost and expense in accordance with Section 2.19. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, including, if requested by the Borrower, in reasonable detail a description of the basis for such compensation and a calculation of such amount or amounts (but excluding any confidential or proprietary information of such Lender), shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Free of Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such

deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable

judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of an applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, an applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of an applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g) in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim (but without prejudice to the Borrower’s rights with respect to any Defaulting Lender). Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Bank of America, N.A. Agency Management, 000 X. XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Mail Code: IL4-135-09-61, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxx, or by wire transfer to for payments to the following unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent:

Bank of America, N.A., ABA#: 000000000

Account Name: Wire Clearing Acct for Syn Loans – LIQ

Account No.: 1366072250600

Ref: Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP

except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans (other than New Term Loans) shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders. 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 respective Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all

such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (w) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or (x) if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (y) if any Lender becomes

Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Lender has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 9.02, requires the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice by the Borrower to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender) if such assignee is not a Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) subject to the Borrower’s rights with respect to Defaulting Lenders under Section 2.20 hereof, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in or elimination of such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(b) the Commitments, Term Loan Exposure and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Required Facility Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that (i) no Defaulting Lender’s Commitments may be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or LC Disbursements may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to a Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and (b) are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a), Section 2.12(b) and Section 2.12(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees payable under Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to any Issuing Bank ratably (based on the LC Exposure then held by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be one hundred percent (100%) covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such

Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

SECTION 2.21 Extension of Revolving Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have one (1) option (which shall be binding on the Lenders), exercisable by written notice to the Administrative Agent given no more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the then Revolving Maturity Date, to extend the Revolving Maturity Date for a period of one (1) year.

SECTION 5.04 Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties to, pay their obligations, including Tax liabilities, that, if not paid, could result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (i)(a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (b) the Borrower or Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, or (ii) the failure to make payment pending such contest would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries and each other Loan Party to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to their property, including Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Additional Subsidiary Guaranties.

(i) Not later than the applicable Required Delivery Date, the Borrower shall cause (A) each Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that owns an Unencumbered Asset and (B) each direct or indirect Subsidiary that holds direct or indirect Equity Interests in a Person, other than an Excluded Subsidiary, which owns an Unencumbered Asset, to deliver to Administrative Agent: (1) a Subsidiary Guaranty executed by such Subsidiary and (2) the other items required to be delivered under the following subsection (a)(ii) below; provided, however, that (x) promptly (and in any event not later than the applicable Required Delivery Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its discretion)) upon any Excluded Subsidiary ceasing to be subject to the restriction which prevented it from being a Material Subsidiary Guarantor on the Effective Date or delivering a Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section, as the case may be, such Subsidiary shall comply with the provisions of this Section and (y) in respect of any Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor after the Closing Date pursuant to this subsection (a)(i), to the extent such Subsidiary has not become a Guarantor as of the applicable Required Delivery Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its discretion), the BPO Value of a Property owned by such Subsidiary shall not be included in any calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until such Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent a Subsidiary Guaranty and the other items required to be delivered under the following subsection (a)(ii) below. Any such Subsidiary Guaranty delivered pursuant to this subsection (a)(i) and the other items required under the immediately following subsection (a)(ii) shall, unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than the later of (x) forty-five (45) days after such obligation first arises and (y) the date on which the Compliance Certificate with respect to the fiscal quarter (or fiscal year in the case of the fourth fiscal quarter) during which, in either such case, any of the above conditions first apply to a Subsidiary (the “Required Delivery Date”).

(ii) Each Subsidiary Guaranty delivered by a Subsidiary required to become a Guarantor under the preceding subsection (a)(i) above shall be accompanied by the items that would have been delivered under Section 4.01(c)(i) through (iv), and Section 4.01(e) as if such Subsidiary had been a Guarantor on the Effective Date, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such other documents, agreement and instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require in order to comply with its “know your customary” and other regulatory obligations.

(b) Release of Material Subsidiary Guarantors from Subsidiary Guaranties. The Subsidiary Guaranty provided by a Material Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released, solely as it relates to such Material Subsidiary Guarantor, at such time as (i) such Material Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to own any Equity Interest in a Person that owns an Unencumbered Asset, (ii) as the result of any transaction involving the incurrence by any Person of Nonrecourse Indebtedness (including, but not limited to, term loan and/or term securitization transactions that are conducted pursuant to either a Rule 144A or a registered public offering or similar form of securitization transaction) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50,000,000 encumbering any asset which previously constituted an Unencumbered Asset (a “Qualified Refinancing”), or (iii) such Material Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.

(c) Instruments of Release. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Borrower and without the need for any consent or approval by the Lenders, execute and deliver an instrument of release to evidence any release of Guaranty described in this Section 5.09 in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Provided no Default arising under Section 7.01(h) or Event of Default is then continuing, the Parent Guaranty provided by the Parent shall be automatically released at such time as no Parent Guaranty Event exists.

SECTION 5.10 Additions and Releases of Pledgors.

(a) Initial Delivery of Pledged Collateral. Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, (i) each Pledgor shall deliver to Administrative Agent each certificate or instrument in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in the manner required under the Pledge Agreement, duly indorsed by such Pledgor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate (or other appropriate instrument of transfer) duly executed in blank by such Pledgor and (ii) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a legal opinion issued by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP (or such other law firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, covering the perfection of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral upon indorsement and delivery to the Administrative Agent of such certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, no Pledgor shall be required to pledge (or cause to be pledged) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the capital stock designated as having voting power and one hundred percent (100%) of the capital stock designated as having non-voting power in any Excluded CFC, or any other equity securities of any other Subsidiary to the extent that the Borrower reasonably determines (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) that such pledge would result in adverse tax consequences pursuant to Code section 956.

(b) Additional Pledgors. At all times prior to the occurrence of a Pledge Termination Event, following the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary Guarantor acquiring, after the Effective Date, any Equity Interests of any Material Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower, or such Material Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, not later than the applicable Required Delivery Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its discretion), each of the following in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) a supplement to the Pledge Agreement executed by each Person that owns any such Equity Interests, (ii) if such Subsidiary is not already a party to the Pledge Agreement at such time, each of the items that would have been delivered under Section 4.01(c)(i) through (iv), Section 4.01(e) and Section 5.10(a), as if the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, had been a Pledgor with respect to such Equity Interests on the Effective Date and (iii) and such other documents, agreement and instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require in order to comply with its “know your customer” and other regulatory obligations; provided, however, that in respect of any Material Subsidiary Guarantor which is required to become a Pledgor after the Closing Date pursuant to this subsection (b), to the extent such Material Subsidiary Guarantor has not become a Pledgor as of the applicable Required Delivery Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its discretion), the BPO Value of an Unencumbered Asset(s) indirectly owned by such Material Subsidiary Guarantor through its Subsidiaries shall not be included in any calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until such Material Subsidiary Guarantor has become a Pledgor and complied with this subsection (b).

(c) Release of Pledged Collateral. All liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under any Loan Document encumbering any Pledged Collateral consisting of Equity Interests of a Subsidiary shall be automatically released, without the need for any consent or approval by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, at such time as: (i) such Subsidiary ceases to be a Guarantor; and (ii) no Default arising under Section 7.01(h) or Event of Default then exists. The Administrative Agent agrees to furnish to the Borrower, promptly after the Borrower’s request and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any document evidencing the foregoing release as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower.

(d) Termination of Pledge Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Pledge Termination Event, so long as no Default arising under Section 7.01(h) or Event of Default then exists, the Pledge Agreement shall be automatically terminated as it relates to each Pledgor and all of the Pledged Collateral shall be released free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of the Borrower and without the need for any consent or approval by the Lenders, execute and deliver an instrument of termination to evidence the termination and release of the Pledge Agreement and release of all the Pledged Collateral described in this Section 5.10(d) in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 5.12 REIT Status. The Parent shall maintain its REIT status under the Code; provided that the requirements of this Section 5.12 may be waived in writing by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion so long as (x) the preservation and maintenance of REIT status under the Code is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the Parent, taken as a whole, and that the failure to maintain and preserve REIT status is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lenders, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Borrower and (y) the failure to maintain and preserve REIT status would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) Balance Sheet Cash and/or Unrestricted Cash that has been deducted in the calculation of the Financial Covenants set forth in Sections 6.01(a)(ii) and (iii) shall be determined without duplication when calculating such Financial Covenants.

The Borrower will not, and will not permit the Parent or any Guarantor to reorganize under the laws of a jurisdiction other than any state of the United States or the District of Columbia.

(b) The Borrower will not, nor will the Borrower permit any Subsidiary to, engage, to any material extent, in any business other than businesses of the type conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Effective Date and businesses reasonably related, complementary, synergistic, ancillary or incidental thereto or reasonable extensions thereof.

(f) the Borrower or a Subsidiary shall fail to make any payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall

become due and payable and after the expiration of all grace or cure periods (provided that the failure to pay any such Indebtedness shall not constitute a Default so long as the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, is diligently contesting the payment of the same by appropriate legal proceedings and the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, a sufficient reserve to repay such Indebtedness plus all accrued interest thereon calculated at the default rate thereunder and costs of enforcement in the event of an adverse outcome);

(g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (after the giving of all notices and the expiration of all grace periods) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause such Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to (x) Material Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness and that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Material Indebtedness, (y) regularly scheduled amortization payments with respect to Material Indebtedness or (z) customary non-default mandatory prepayments with respect to Material Indebtedness in connection with asset sales, casualty or condemnation events (provided that the failure to pay any such Indebtedness shall not constitute a Default so long as the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary, as applicable, is diligently contesting the payment of the same by appropriate legal proceedings and the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary has set aside, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, a sufficient reserve to repay such Indebtedness plus all accrued interest thereon calculated at the default rate thereunder and costs of enforcement in the event of an adverse outcome);

(h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of a Loan Party, the Parent or any Material Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for a Loan Party, the Parent or any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets (an “Involuntary Proceeding”), and, in any such case, such Involuntary Proceeding shall continue undismissed for sixty (60) days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

(i) a Loan Party, the Parent or any Material Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (h) of this Article, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for such Loan Party, the Parent or any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

(j) a Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary shall become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

(k) the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall fail within sixty (60) days to pay, bond or otherwise discharge any final judgments or orders for the payment of money (not covered by insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of such judgment or order and has not issued a notice denying coverage thereof) in an amount which, when added to all other judgments or orders outstanding against the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary would exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate, which have not been stayed on appeal or otherwise appropriately contested in good faith;

(l) any Loan Party or the Parent shall disavow, revoke or terminate (or attempt to terminate) any Loan Document to which it is a party or shall otherwise challenge or contest in any action, suit or proceeding in any court or before any Governmental Authority the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, a Guaranty or any other Loan Document; or this Agreement, a Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect (except as a result of the express terms thereof);

(m) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or

(n) a Change in Control shall have occurred;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

SECTION 7.02 Distribution of Payments after Default. In the event that following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the Loan Documents, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such in connection with the collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Administrative Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Administrative Agent to such monies;

(b) Second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Loan Parties and any fees then due to the Administrative Agent;

(c) Third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably in proportion to the respective amounts payable under this clause (c);

(d) Fourth, to pay or prepay, as applicable, principal on the Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and any payment obligations then owing to the Approved Counterparties under Secured Hedge Agreements ratably to the Lenders, Issuing Banks, Approved Counterparties and any other Secured Party in proportion to the respective amounts under this clause (d);

(e) Fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations;

(f) Sixth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to indemnification provisions of the Loan Documents, if any;

(g) Seventh, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, if any; and

(h) Eighth, to the Borrower or whoever may be legally entitled thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 8.02 Rights as a Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the

Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any applicable law with respect to any Bankruptcy Event, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.06 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, (a) the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower and (b) the Required Lenders may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower remove the Administrative Agent (i) for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, or (ii) if it has become a Defaulting Lender. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at such time), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring or

removed Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a Lender. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 8.08 Issuing Bank Reports to Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, provide Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Report or other information, as and when set forth below:

(i) For so long as any Letter of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank is outstanding, such Issuing Bank shall delivered to Administrative Agent (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month and (ii) on each date that (1) a Letter of Credit extension or other modification occurs or (2) there is any expiration, cancellation or disbursement, in each case, with respect to such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Report appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and

(ii) on any Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issuing by such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 8.09 Secured Hedge Agreement and Pledged Collateral Matters.

(a) Appointment. Each Approved Counterparty hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its non-fiduciary collateral agent for the purpose of perfecting and maintaining Approved Counterparty’s security interest and lien in and on the Pledged Collateral and any and all other collateral under the Collateral Documents. Each Approved Counterparty hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to (a) enter into all of the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of and for the benefit of the

Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, (b) exercise such rights and powers under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, as the case may be, as are specifically granted or delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto or as are customarily and typically exercised by agents performing duties similar to the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, and (c) perform the obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Collateral Documents. Each Approved Counterparty signing this Agreement as a Lender hereby agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents in such Lender’s capacity as an Approved Counterparty. Each Approved Counterparty that has not signed or otherwise joined this Agreement in writing to Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction shall, as a condition precedent to being an Approved Counterparty or Secured Party in respect of the Pledged Collateral, execute a joinder to this Agreement, acknowledging and agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents applicable thereto, including, without limitation, this Section 8.09.

(b) Limitations on Duties and Actions of Administrative Agent. The duties of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and in respect of the Pledged Collateral shall be deemed ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of any the Loan Documents or any of the Collateral Documents, a fiduciary relationship with any Approved Counterparty. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, excepting only its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. IN THE ABSENCE OF WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE LENDERS REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO FORECLOSE UPON ANY LIEN ENCUMBERING ANY OF THE COLLATERAL OR TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PART THEREOF. Further, Sections 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.07, 9.03(c), 9.09 and 9.10 shall apply to (i) Administrative Agent in its capacity as non-fiduciary collateral agent mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as “Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents and (ii) each Approved Counterparty in its capacity as such mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to a Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Approved Counterparty hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has received and reviewed the Loan Documents.

(i) If an Approved Counterparty exercises any right to terminate or unwind one or more transactions under any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty in connection with any event of default, termination event or similar event (each, however described in such Secured Hedge Agreement, a “Termination Event”) including, for the avoidance of doubt, any right to designate an “Early Termination Date” provided for in such Secured Hedge Agreement, then such Approved Counterparty shall send written notice thereof to Administrative Agent, specifying in detail the nature of the related Termination Event. If an Approved Counterparty sends any such notice in respect of Borrower’s (or its affiliate’s) default under any Secured Hedge Agreement to Administrative Agent, then such Approved Counterparty agrees to send notice to Administrative Agent in the event Borrower (or its affiliate) cures said default. The failure of any Approved Counterparty to deliver any notice contemplated by this clause (i) shall not (A) affect the validity of any termination or unwind of one or more transactions under any applicable Secured Hedge Agreement, (B) result in, or form the basis of, any breach of the applicable Secured Hedge Agreement, or (C) impose any liability on such Approved Counterparty.

(ii) Each Approved Counterparty acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have the rights to declare Defaults and Events of Default under the Loan Documents, accelerate the Obligations and enforce such remedies as are available pursuant to the Loan Documents (including the Collateral Documents) or otherwise, including, without limitation, foreclosure. Each Approved Counterparty agrees that while it may have the right to terminate or unwind one or more transactions under any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty in respect of a Termination Event, only Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce the remedies provided by the Loan Documents (or otherwise pursue remedies or recourse against the Pledged Collateral) arising from such Termination Event under such Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty.

(iii) Each Approved Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that (A) it shall only have recourse to the Pledged Collateral through the Administrative Agent and that it shall have no independent recourse to or right to take action in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any Loan Document and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to, and shall not, take any action under any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under any Collateral Document) except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(iv) Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Administrative Agent or any Approved Counterparty from delivering to Borrower (and/or its affiliates) any notice or demand which Administrative Agent or such Approved Counterparty is entitled or required to give under the Loan Documents or any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty, as the case may be, notifying Borrower (and/or its affiliates) of the existence of the default or breach and affording Borrower (and/or its affiliates) the opportunity to cure such default or breach in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty, as the case may be.

(v) Nothing contained herein shall restrict the rights of an Approved Counterparty to pursue remedies, by proceedings in law and equity, or to enforce its rights in accordance with the provisions of any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty, to the extent that pursuit of such remedies or enforcement does not relate to the Pledged Collateral or interfere with the Administrative Agent’s ability to take action under any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, under the Collateral Documents) or against any Loan Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this clause (v) shall restrict the rights of an Approved Counterparty to terminate or unwind one or more transactions under any applicable Secured Hedge Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

(vi) No Approved Counterparty shall contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of, or seek to avoid, any Lien securing any Obligation or any of the Loan Documents. No Approved Counterparty shall have the right to obtain any of the Pledged Collateral or the benefit of any Lien on any Pledged Collateral except as expressly provided herein.

(d) Application of Proceeds. In the event of any payment, distribution, division or application, partial or complete, of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or otherwise, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law, exercise of remedies or otherwise, of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the proceeds thereof, whether by reason of foreclosure, UCC sale, liquidation, bankruptcy, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the payment or readjustment of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral (a “Payment”), then any Payment shall be allocated and paid or distributed to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall make such Payment available to the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement.

(e) Amounts Due Under Secured Hedge Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Loan Documents to the contrary, each Approved Counterparty expressly acknowledges and agrees that all amounts due to such Approved Counterparty under any Secured Hedge Agreement entered into by such Approved Counterparty belong to, and are the property of, such Approved Counterparty.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

(d) Electronic Systems.

(i) Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System other than as a result of willful misconduct or gross negligence by such Person as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Subject to Section 2.20(b), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent to a disbursement hereunder or of any Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; it being understood that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in any rate of interest (provided that only the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under a particular Facility shall be necessary to waive any applicability of default interest with respect to such Facility), (iii) except as provided in Section 2.21, postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without

the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(a), (b) or (c) or Section 7.02 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or the definition of “Pro-Rata Share”, in each case without the written consent of each affected Lender thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Facility Lenders” with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility, (vii) release the Parent from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.09), or release any of the other Guarantors from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.09) or any Pledge Agreement (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.10), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided, further, that (w) no such agreement shall amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents so as to alter the ratable treatment of the Obligations arising under the Loan Documents or the Obligations arising under the Secured Hedge Agreements under Section 7.02, or any of the definitions of “Approved Counterparty”, “Secured Hedge Agreements”, “Obligations”, “Secured Parties” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), or “Secured Obligations” (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), in each case in a manner disproportionately adverse to the Approved Counterparties without the consent of the Approved Counterparties in addition to the consent of the Lenders required above, (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (y) the consent of the Required Facility Lenders of a Facility shall be required for any amendment, waiver or modification that adversely affects the rights of such Facility in a manner different than such amendment, waiver or modification affects the other Facility (it being understood, however, that any amendment, modification or waiver in relation to any representation, warranty, affirmative covenant, negative covenant, financial covenant or event of default contained in Articles III, V, VI or VII hereof, together with similar provisions contained in any other Loan Document, shall not require the consent of such Required Facility Lenders as a result of the operation of this clause (y)), and (z) no such agreement shall amend or modify Section 2.20 without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.02, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket and documented expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, the Diligence Agent and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners and their Affiliates, taken as a whole, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), due diligence expenses and all printing,

reproduction, document delivery, travel, IntraLinks, and communication costs, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (but in each case limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel (and, if applicable, one additional local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to the affected Lender or Lenders similarly situated and taken as a whole), during the existence of an Event of Default and in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket and documented expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Loan Party, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from any Loan Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iv) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (v) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (vi) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether brought by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or a third party; provided that (A) such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to (x) have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (y) have not resulted from an act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates and have been brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than a claim or dispute involving an Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or a Joint Lead Arranger/Joint Bookrunner) and (B) the Borrower shall not, in connection with any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (which shall be selected by the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners after consultation with the Borrower) at any one time for the Indemnitees as a whole (and, if necessary, one firm of local and regulatory counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and regulatory field, as applicable, at any one time for the Indemnitees as a whole); provided, further, that in the case of a conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, the Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of counsel (and, if necessary, one firm of local and regulatory counsel in each appropriate

jurisdiction and regulatory field) for each such affected Indemnitee. If any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any Indemnitee in connection with any claim for which it is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such indemnified person shall (x) promptly notify the Borrower in writing of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) give the Borrower an opportunity to consult from time to time with such Indemnitee regarding defensive measures and potential settlement. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim and shall not duplicate any amounts paid under Section 2.14 or Section 2.15.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent that liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an 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 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), other than as contemplated in Section 6.02, and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan unless the Borrower shall have objected thereto within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written request therefor in accordance with Section 9.01; provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to (I) if Revolving Commitment, a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender, (II) if all or any portion of a Term Loan, a Term Loan Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Loan Lender, or an Approved Fund in respect of a Term Loan Lender, or (III) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or the Loans have been accelerated following an Event of Default, any Eligible Assignee (other than an Ineligible Institution). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall send notice of an assignment to the Borrower;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or an Affiliate thereof and (y) all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) each Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of any Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or an Affiliate thereof, and (y) all or any portion of a Term Loan; and

(D) each Swingline Lender, provided, that no consent of any Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of (x) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or an Affiliate thereof, and (y) all or any portion of a Term Loan.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of only one Facility;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and any Tax Forms required to be provided under Section 2.17(f); and

(D) 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 at such assignee to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties 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.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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.

(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 Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment 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, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such participation was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated may, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other registered broker-dealer

wholly-owned by Bank of America Corporation to which all or substantially all of Bank of America Corporation’s or any of its subsidiaries’ investment banking, commercial lending services or related businesses may be transferred following the date hereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”) the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) no SPV shall have any voting rights pursuant to this Section 9.04(f) (all such voting rights shall be retained by the Granting Lender), (iv) with respect to notices, payments and other matters hereunder, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be obligated to deal with an SPV, but may limit their communications and other dealings relevant to such SPV to the applicable Granting Lender, and (v) with respect to the funding of any Loan by an SPV, the Borrower shall not have to pay any greater cost, or incur any greater expense, under the provisions of this Section 9.04(f) or otherwise, than if all Loans were funded by the applicable Granting Lender without the involvement of an SPV. The funding of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Revolving Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreements shall survive termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. This Section 9.04(f) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by an SPV at the time of such amendment.

(g) In connection with any sale or assignment of any portion of the Facilities to any new Lender during the forty-five (45) day period following the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees that, upon written request by the Administrative Agent, following such forty-five (45) day period, the Borrower shall, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, deliver either (i) a reliance letter in favor of such new Lenders to the legal opinion issued by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP on the Effective Date and providing that such new Lenders have the right to rely thereon, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) a replacement legal opinion from a law firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall cover the same matters as the original opinion delivered by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP on the Effective Date, and shall provide that the new Lenders have the right to rely thereon.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The

provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(c) 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 Lenders and (y) 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 setoff. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. No amounts set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined solely in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on any security for the Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense other than any objection to the laying of venue of such action or the action having been brought in an inconvenient forum but including any claim or defense that this Section 9.09 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment, (iii) if all such New York courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or, in the case of the Federal District court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction and (iv) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this Section 9.09 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York court) in any such action or proceeding.

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

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING

OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13 Material Non-Public Information.

(a) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a)) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

(c) The Borrower acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Electronic System and (b) certain of the Lenders (each a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Electronic System designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Electronic System not designated “Public Side Information.” Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Electronic System in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Electronic System and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

SECTION 9.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the Transactions (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understand and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger/Joint Bookrunner, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger/Joint Bookrunner, any Lender or any Issuing Bank has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger/Joint Bookrunner, any Lender or any Issuing Bank has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will not claim that any of the Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arrangers/Joint Bookrunners, Lenders, Issuing Banks and their respective affiliates has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect or owes a fiduciary duty or similar duty to it in connection with any aspect of the Transactions. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger/Joint Bookrunner, any Lender or any Issuing Bank with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of the Transactions.

SECTION 9.17 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and 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 Lender or Issuing Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE X

SECTION 10.01 The Guaranties. Each Guarantor is guaranteeing the Obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Subsidiary Guaranty or the Parent Guaranty, as and to the extent applicable (other than with respect to any Guarantor, Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor).

SECTION 10.02 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7.01 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 7.01) for purposes of the Guaranties, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of the Guaranties.

SECTION 10.03 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.
