(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth on Schedule 1.1B, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any amount as required hereby, and a determination thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error using the procedure set forth in the definition of “Dollar Equivalent” and Section 1.3(b). The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan Party in any document delivered to the Administrative Agent.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with any covenant or restriction in this Agreement that is based on the amount of any Indebtedness that is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent thereof shall be determined based on the Exchange Rate in effect at the time such Indebtedness was incurred unless the specific restriction or covenant provides a different method or time for valuation; provided that, for purposes of Section 3.1, the Dollar Equivalent of an outstanding Letter of Credit shall be determined on its issuance date and thereafter on the last day of each subsequent Fee Payment Period.
(c) The Administrative Agent may set up appropriate rounding off mechanisms or otherwise round-off amounts hereunder to the nearest higher or lower amount in whole Dollar or cent to ensure amounts owing by any party hereunder or that otherwise need to be calculated or converted hereunder are expressed in whole Dollars or in whole cents, as may be necessary or appropriate.
1.4 Other Interpretive Provisions; Amendments on the Collateral Release Date.
(a) If a Lien on Collateral satisfies the requirements of two or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Lien, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time designate or redesignate such Lien as a Permitted Lien in any of such clauses and the Borrower need not classify such Lien solely by reference to one such clause. If a Permitted Asset Sale satisfies the requirements of two or more clauses (a) through (g) of the definition thereof, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time designate or redesignate such Permitted Asset Sale as a Permitted Asset Sale in any of such clauses and the Borrower need not classify such Permitted Asset Sale solely by reference to one such clause. If a Restricted Payment satisfies the requirements of two or more clauses (a) through (j) of Section 7.6, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time designate or redesignate such Restricted Payment as a permitted Restricted Payment in any of such clauses and the Borrower need not classify such permitted Restricted Payment solely by reference to one such clause. When calculating the amount of any obligation or liability for purposes of determining any component of the Borrowing Base or of eligibility for inclusion therein, if such obligation or liability is not an obligation or liability with a fixed or readily determinable amount, such amount shall be estimated by the Borrower to be the reasonably anticipated liability in respect thereof, in each case consistent with GAAP.
(b) It is understood and agreed that from and after the Collateral Release Date, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Security Documents shall cease to be Loan Documents and shall cease to be applicable under or for purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without intending to derogate from the foregoing, Sections 2.1(a)(ii), 2.6(a), 2.6(b), 2.6(c), 2.12(f), 3.1(a)(i)(C), 4.13 (insofar as it pertains to Schedule 4.13), 4.14, 5.3(c), 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.7 (with respect to the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Security Documents), 6.8, 6.9(b), 7.1, 7.5(b), 7.6, 8(e), 8(i), and 10.1(a)(F) and any definitions used solely in such sections shall cease to be applicable and this Agreement shall be deemed amended automatically on the Collateral Release Date by deleting the text of such Sections or definitions in their entirety and substituting for the text of each such Section or definition “[intentionally omitted]”.
SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS
2.1 Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving loans (“Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period of such Lender; provided that, after giving effect to such borrowing and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) such Lender’s Extensions of Credit do not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) prior to the Collateral Release Date, the Outstanding Amount of Covered Debt shall not exceed the Borrowing Base at such time and (iii) the Total Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Commitments then in effect. During the Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Commitments by
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
borrowing, prepaying the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or any combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.
(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Loans of a Lender on the Termination Date for such Lender.
2.2 Procedure for Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that, except in the case of a deemed request for an ABR Loan on the Reimbursement Date of a Reimbursement Obligation as contemplated by Section 3.5, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to (a) 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (i) the amount and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period(s) therefor. If no election as to the Type of a Loan is specified in any such notice, then the requested borrowing shall be an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Loan is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.5, each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $50,000,000 (or, if the then aggregate Available Commitments are less than $50,000,000, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice (or, as provided in Section 3.5, deemed notice) from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (or, in the case of an ABR Loan requested on the proposed Borrowing Date, 3:00 P.M.), New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested (or deemed requested) by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 3.5 (where the proceeds of such borrowing shall be applied to repay the related Reimbursement Obligation), such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office or such other account as the Borrower may specify to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
2.3 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Effective Date (or such later date as of which such Lender shall become a Lender hereunder) to the date on which the Commitment of such Lender expires or otherwise terminates, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the related Fee Payment Period for which payment is made, payable in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in its letter agreement (captioned “Administrative Agent Fee Letter”) dated August 9, 2010 with the Administrative Agent.
2.4 Termination, Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Commitments. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $100,000,000 or a whole multiple of $25,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice to terminate any Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change of Control, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a termination notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.15 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof.
2.5 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the day of such prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15; provided, further, that such notice to prepay the Loans delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change of Control, in either case, which such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by further notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a prepayment notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.15 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given (and not revoked as provided herein), the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
2.6 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If the Outstanding Amount of Covered Debt at any time shall exceed the Borrowing Base in effect at such time for any period of five (5) consecutive Business Days, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, either prepay and/or otherwise reduce, as applicable, the then outstanding Covered Debt in the amount of such excess or cure any such Borrowing Base deficiency by increasing the Borrowing Base by adding additional Collateral in accordance with Schedule 1.1B and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be concurrently increased by the value of such additional Collateral.
(b) If, prior to the Collateral Release Date, the Borrower shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition of assets permitted under clause (f) of the definition of Permitted Asset Sales, the Borrower shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds (to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds constitute Surplus Proceeds) in the manner set forth in the first proviso to such clause (f).
(c) If, prior to the Collateral Release Date, the Borrower elects to prepay outstanding Covered Debt to comply with its obligations under Section 2.6(a), 2.6(b) or Section 7.1, such prepayment may be applied to outstanding Covered Debt in the order specified by the Borrower (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if two or more tranches of Eurodollar Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower may specify the order of prepayment thereof).
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(d) On each Fee Payment Date on which any Letters of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding amount of such Letters of Credit as of the last day of the related Fee Payment Period. If, as of the last day of any such Fee Payment Period, the sum of (i) 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of such Letters of Credit plus (ii) the aggregate outstanding Extensions of Credit other than such Letters of Credit exceed the Total Commitments then in effect, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and within five Business Days of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans or Collateralize Letters of Credit in an aggregate principal or face amount at least equal to such excess.
2.7 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans that is not made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto shall be subject to Section 2.15. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when (after giving effect to such Loan and to the application of proceeds thereof) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions (and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower within a reasonable amount of time of any such determination). Upon receipt of any such conversion notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender and the Borrower.
(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when (after giving effect to such Loan and to the application of proceeds thereof) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations (and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower within a reasonable amount of time of any such determination); and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph such Loans shall be automatically continued as a Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and shall have an Interest Period of two weeks duration. Upon receipt of any such continuation notice (or any such automatic continuation), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender and the Borrower thereof.
2.8 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that no more than 30 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
2.9 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% per annum, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or Letter of Credit Fee payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount (in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations converted into Dollars on the applicable Reimbursement Date if necessary) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.9(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 360- day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.10(a).
2.11 Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Illegality. (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower ) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period;
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If any such notice is given, then (1) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (2) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such relevant notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(b) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, made subsequent to the Effective Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower describing the relevant provisions of such Requirement of Law (and, if the Borrower shall request, provide the Borrower with a memorandum or opinion of counsel of recognized standing (as selected by such Lender) as to such illegality), following which, (A) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue such Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (B) such Lender’s outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars shall be converted automatically on the last day of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (or within such earlier period as shall be required by law) to ABR Loans. If any such conversion or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to any Lender whose Loan is converted or prepaid such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.15.
2.12 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each borrowing of Loans by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Percentages, of the Lenders except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.20.
(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata to the Lenders according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.20.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in the applicable Currency and in immediately available funds, except that payment of fronting fees owing to any Issuing Lender shall be made directly to the relevant Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, except as otherwise provided with respect to the payment of interest at the expiration of an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan as provided in the proviso to the definition of Interest Period. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate up to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans .
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, prior to the Collateral Release Date, proceeds of the Collateral that are received by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay the Loans while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, shall be applied pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. Unless all of the Obligations have become due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), payments under the Guarantee shall be applied to the Obligations in such order of application as the relevant Loan Party may from time to time specify, subject however, to the provisions of Sections 2.12(a) and (b) (applied as if such payments were made by the Borrower) and Section 10.7.
(g) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Loans of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit M (a “Note”), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.
2.13 Requirements of Law.
Except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.14 and to which this Section 2.13 shall not apply:
(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Effective Date:
(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay such Lender, within 15 Business Days of receipt of notice from the relevant Lender as described below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable (it being understood that the provisions set forth in this Section 2.13(a) are not intended to derogate from the Borrower’s rights provided in Sections 2.16 and 2.17). If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (including a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts).
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (together with a reasonably detailed description and calculation of such amounts), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction (it being understood that the provisions set forth in this Section 2.13(b) are not intended to derogate from the Borrower’s rights provided in Sections 2.16 and 2.17).
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no Lender shall be entitled to request any payment or amount under this Section 2.13 unless such Lender is generally demanding payment (and certifies to the Borrower that it is generally demanding payment) under comparable provisions of its agreements with similarly situated borrowers of similar credit quality (provided that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to verify any such request of a Lender) and (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90 day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect, but not more than 180 days prior to the date that such notice was received by the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all interest thereon and fees payable hereunder.
2.14 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by income or profits, including franchise taxes
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(imposed in lieu of or in addition to net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction described in clause (i) above and (iii) any United States withholding taxes imposed by reason of FATCA. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, (i) the Borrower shall make such deductions and shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws and (ii) the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (1) that are attributable to any Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section 2.14, or (2) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable by the Borrower to any Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of its designation of a new Applicable Lending Office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes over to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If (i) the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) the Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or (iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amount and any incremental taxes, interest, additions to tax, expenses or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), or any such direct imposition in the case of clause (iii). The indemnification payment under this Section 2.14 shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) makes a written demand therefor (together with a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts).
(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) (i) that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1, Exhibit K-2, Exhibit K-3 or Exhibit K-4, as applicable, and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). Thereafter, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender at any other time prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax 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 requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (and any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.14 that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(e) If the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to (i) interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it sees fit, (ii) obligate the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to claim any tax refund, (iii) require the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes or any computation in respect thereof which it deems in its sole discretion to be confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) require the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to do anything that would in its sole discretion prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(f) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. 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.
(g) Each Assignee shall be bound by this Section 2.14.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(h) The agreements in this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.15 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any actual loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans (or the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Loan of a different Type) on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17. Such indemnification may include an amount up to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (together with a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts) shall be prima facie evidence thereof and shall be payable within 30 days of receipt of any such notice. The agreements in this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans hereunder.
2.16 Change of Applicable Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, do not cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer any material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.16 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a).
2.17 Replacement/Termination of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace with a replacement financial institution or terminate the Commitments and repay any outstanding Loans (and any accrued interest and fees thereon) of a Defaulting Lender or any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), (b) fails to give its consent for any amendment, consent or waiver requiring the consent of 100% of the Lenders or all affected Lenders (and such Lender is an affected Lender) and for which Lenders with Percentages aggregating at least 66 2/3% of the Loans and/or Commitments required for such vote have consented or (c) fails to give its consent to an extension of the Termination Date to which the Required Lenders have consented; provided that (i) the replacement financial institution or the Borrower, as applicable, shall purchase or repay, all Loans owing to such replaced or terminated Lender on or prior to the date of replacement or termination, and shall pay all accrued interest and fees thereon to such date, (ii) unless otherwise agreed, the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced or terminated Lender under Section 2.15 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased or repaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (iii) any replacement financial institution, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and if a Lender, shall not constitute a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any replaced Lender
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that, unless otherwise agreed, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (v) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), as the case may be, and (vi) any such replacement, termination and/or repayment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
2.18 Defaulting Lender
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3;
(b) such Defaulting Lender and the Commitment and Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Lenders or the Required Lenders (or any directly affected Lender) have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, consent, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification that has the effect of (i) increasing the amount or extending the expiration date of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or extending the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan held by such Defaulting Lender, (ii) forgiving or reducing any principal amount of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, or (iii) reducing the stated rate of any interest or fees payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or extending the scheduled date of any payment thereof (for the purpose of clarity, the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall not include any waiver of a mandatory prepayment and shall not preclude a waiver of applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates).
(c) if any L/C Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time all or any part of the L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Extensions of Credit plus such L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, any Loan Party may, at any time and from time to time following notice by the Administrative Agent, Collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Lender that is not, itself, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding or, if sooner, so long as such Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender (it being expressly understood and agreed that all accrued interest on such Collateralization shall be for the account of the applicable Loan Party and shall be paid to such Loan Party at any time and from time to time upon its request therefor; provided, that no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing);
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(iii) if a Loan Party Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are so Collateralized;
(iv) if the L/C Obligations of the Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Percentages of the Total Commitments calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Total Commitments; and
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither reallocated nor Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of each Loan Party, the applicable Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are so reallocated and/or Collateralized; and
(d) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Collateralized by a Loan Party in accordance with this Section 2.18 and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with this Section 2.18 (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If (i) a Lender Insolvency Event with respect to the parent company of any Lender shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each affected Issuing Lender stating that such Lender has become a Defaulting Lender. In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each affected Issuing Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Defaulting Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and, on such date, such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans and/or participations in the L/C Obligations of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans and participations in the L/C Obligations in accordance with its Percentage of the Total Commitments.
2.19 Reallocation of Payments for the Account of Defaulting Lenders. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at or prior to maturity, or otherwise), shall be
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Lender hereunder (pro rata to the Issuing Lenders in accordance with the amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Lender); third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Borrower or an Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in an interest bearing deposit account and released from time to time in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the accrued interest thereon shall be held as additional collateral for such obligations); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
2.20 Termination Date Extension. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, propose an extension of the Termination Date, which proposal may include a proposal to change the Applicable Margins (including any provision of the Pricing Grid) for the Lenders as may be specified in such proposal. Upon receipt of any such proposal the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender shall respond to such proposal in writing within 30 calendar days after the date of such proposal and any failure of a Lender to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a rejection of such proposal. If any Lender consents to such proposal (each such consenting Lender, an “Extending Lender”), the Termination Date applicable to each Extending Lender shall be extended to the date specified in the Borrower’s extension proposal and the Applicable Margin with respect to each such Extending Lender shall be adjusted in the manner specified in such proposal, if any, and each Non-Extending Lender will be treated as provided in Section 2.20(b).
(b) If any Lender does not consent to any extension request that becomes effective pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”), then (i) the Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender shall remain unchanged from that applicable prior to the extension and the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender and the existing Applicable Margins shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.17, continue in full force and effect.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1(a), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Extending Lenders) shall be entitled to enter into any amendments to this
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Agreement that the Administrative Agent believes are necessary or appropriate to reflect, or to provide for the integration of, any extension of the Termination Date or change in Applicable Margins pursuant to this Section 2.20 without the consent of any Non-Extending Lender.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit and, with the consent of such Issuing Lender, letters of guarantee (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party on any Business Day during the Commitment Period of such Issuing Lender in such form as may be reasonable and customary for the purpose thereof; provided that (i) the Borrower shall not request, and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance (and to any concurrent funding or prepayment of a Loan and to the application of proceeds thereof and to any concurrent expiration or termination or amendment or modification of any previously issued Letter of Credit), (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the then Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment then in effect, (B) the Dollar Equivalent of the then Outstanding Amount of all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit then in effect, (C) prior to the Collateral Release Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the then Outstanding Amount of Covered Debt would exceed the Borrowing Base at such date or (D) the sum of (x) 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of Letters of Credit denominated in Optional Currencies plus (y) the then Outstanding Amount of the Extensions of Credit other than Letters of Credit denominated in Optional Currencies would exceed the Total Commitments then in effect and (ii) the Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and jointly and severally liable with respect to, each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary. Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars or, if agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender, any Optional Currency and (y) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the date that is one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date of such Issuing Lender then in effect; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the subsequent or successive renewal or automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in foregoing clause (B), unless and to the extent that such Letter of Credit is Collateralized for the period following such date at 105% of the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit). Any such Collateralization of a Letter of Credit provided by a Loan Party with respect to a Letter of Credit, together with accrued interest or earnings thereon, shall be released to such Loan Party as soon as practicable after the expiration or other termination of such Letter of Credit and the reimbursement of any amount drawn thereunder; provided, that, so long as such 105% margin is maintained, the accrued interest or earnings on such Collateralization shall be released to the applicable Loan Party at any time and from time to time upon its request therefor. No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request consistent with its customary business practices for comparable transactions (it being expressly understood and agreed by each Issuing Lender that the terms and provisions of each such Application shall be consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement). Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the relevant Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount and currency thereof). No Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit during any period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.3 shall not on such date be satisfied or waived, and ending when the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the effect that such conditions are satisfied or waived. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Lenders upon becoming aware that such conditions in Section 5.3 are thereafter satisfied or waived. The Issuing Lenders shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.3 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit.
3.3 Fees and Other Charges. The Borrower shall pay a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit during each Fee Payment Period at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the Lenders based on the Percentages of the Lenders during the relevant Fee Payment Period and payable in arrears for each Fee Payment Period on the related Fee Payment Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable in arrears for each Fee Payment Period on the related Fee Payment Date. For the purposes of the foregoing calculations, the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency for any Fee Payment Period shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the average daily undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit (expressed in the Optional Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated) by (ii) the Exchange Rate for each such Optional Currency in effect on the first Business Day of the related Fee Payment Period or by such other method that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree. In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender, for its own account such customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit, to the extent that such costs and expenses have been mutually agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender.
3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued, and the amount of each draft paid, by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower or other applicant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (calculated, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, as of the Reimbursement Date therefor); provided that in no event shall an L/C Participant be obligated to fund an amount that would cause such L/C Participant’s Extensions of Credit to exceed such L/C Participant’s Commitment. Subject to the foregoing, each L/C
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to any Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to any Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or other applicant or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower or other applicant shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the draft so paid, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of payment of such draft (or if notice of such payment is received after 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, on the third Business Day immediately following such date of receipt) (such date, the “Reimbursement Date”). Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated and in immediately available funds; provided that, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Optional Currency, if such payment, or obligation to make such payment, in an Optional Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or any similar tax that would not be payable if such payment were paid or required to be paid in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option, (A) pay the amount of such tax to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or the relevant Lender or (B) pay the Dollar Equivalent of such draft (calculated as of the Reimbursement Date); provided, further that if such payment is not made on the applicable Reimbursement Date the obligation to pay such draft shall be permanently converted into an obligation to pay the Dollar Equivalent amount of such draft (calculated as of such Reimbursement Date).

Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 2.2, the proceeds of such ABR Loan shall be made available to the relevant Issuing Lender (and not to the Borrower) to the account specified by such Issuing Lender, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Lender may credit its Percentage of such ABR Loan to the relevant Reimbursement Obligation in lieu of funding such amount to the Administrative Agent.
3.6 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, be responsible for, and the Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 of the Borrower shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower .
3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lenders to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of any other Loan Document, including this Section 3, the provisions of such other Loan Document or this Section 3, as the case may be, shall apply.
3.9 Collateralization. Any Loan Party may at its option at any time and from time to time Collateralize any Letter of Credit (with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender). In addition, on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date then in effect for any Issuing
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Lender, a Loan Party shall (or shall cause the relevant Subsidiary to) Collateralize any Letter of Credit with an expiration date occurring after such Termination Date as provided in Section 3.1. Any Letter of Credit that is Collateralized as provided in this Section 3.9 shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder effective on the date of such Collateralization and, accordingly, the rights and obligations of Lenders in respect thereof (including pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4) shall terminate and the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Amount of such Letter of Credit shall no longer be included as “Covered Debt”, an “L/C Obligation” or an “Extension of Credit”.
3.10 New Issuing Lenders; L/C Commitments. (a) The Borrower may from time to time (i) decrease the L/C Commitment of any Issuing Lender or terminate any Issuing Lender as an Issuing Lender hereunder (on a prospective basis only) for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender, (ii) add additional Issuing Lenders hereunder and (iii) increase (with the consent of the relevant Issuing Lender) the L/C Commitment of any existing Issuing Lender. If the Borrower shall decide to add a new Issuing Lender under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders (or an Applicable Lending Office thereof) a new Issuing Lender, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder, and the term “Issuing Lender” shall mean such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or an increase of the L/C Commitment of any existing Issuing Lender, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new issuer of Letters of Credit or existing Issuing Lender, as applicable, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall become an “Issuing Lender” hereunder or such increased L/C Commitment shall become effective. Any decrease of an L/C Commitment or termination of an Issuing Lender shall become effective upon the applicable Issuing Lender’s receipt of notice thereof. After the termination of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the terminated Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the replacement, termination or Collateralization thereof or pursuant to Section 3.9, but shall not issue additional Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of any replacement or addition of an Issuing Lender, or any changed L/C Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.10.
(b) Any Issuing Lender may, in its discretion, arrange for one or more Letters of Credit to be issued by an Applicable Lending Office thereof, in which case, such Applicable Lending Office shall be an “Issuing Lender” hereunder.

(b) With respect to any Mortgaged Property acquired or leased by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Effective Date and described in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Mortgaged Property” no later than the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent following the fiscal quarter in which such Mortgaged Property was so acquired or leased (such last day, the “Applicable Mortgage Deadline”), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor to, (i) deliver to the Collateral Trustee a Mortgage, in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, covering such Mortgaged Property, (ii) for each such Mortgage, deliver to the Collateral Trustee a lenders’ title insurance policy, in each case, issued by a title company selected by the Borrower insuring the Collateral Trustee’s interest in such Mortgaged Property and mutually and reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iii) for each such Mortgage, deliver to the Collateral Trustee an opinion of local counsel (which may be internal counsel to the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor) with respect to the enforceability of such Mortgage under the applicable local law, in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor be required to provide an opinion for any such Mortgage if the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor has previously delivered an enforceability opinion with respect to any other Mortgage encumbering a Mortgaged Property located in the same state (it being understood that the Loan Parties are not required to obtain or provide any survey, landlord consent, appraisal, or valuation, with respect to such Mortgaged Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction that imposes a mortgage recording tax that is based on the value of such property or the amount of indebtedness secured thereby and the Borrower has determined, or the Administrative Agent has determined, at the request of the Borrower, that the cost of obtaining a Lien on such Mortgaged Property is excessive in relation to the additional value of the security (and/or the Borrowing Base) to be afforded thereby, the Borrower shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.8(b) with respect thereto.
(c) Within 60 days of the occurrence thereof, the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Trustee and the Administrative Agent of any changes to the name, jurisdiction of incorporation or legal form of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

A Loan Party shall not have any obligation to disclose materials that are protected by attorney-client privilege and materials the disclosure of which would violate confidentiality obligations or any specified security or other procedures of such Loan Party.

The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, e-mail, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified in this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified in this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified in this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party,
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower if it is required to do so under Section 10.5 and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower under Section 10.5 to do so), ratably according to their respective Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it and any other extension of credit made by it hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.10 Bookrunners, Lead Arrangers, Documentation Agents and Syndication Agent. Neither the Syndication Agent nor any of the bookrunners, lead arrangers, documentation agents or other agents identified on the cover page to this Agreement or in any commitment letter relating hereto (collectively, the “Arrangers”) shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in their respective capacities as such, nor shall the consent of any such Person, in its capacity as such, be required for any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

The Required Lenders and the Borrower (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of any other Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document) may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of any Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document ) may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights or obligations of the Agents, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement (including any condition precedent to an Extension of Credit) or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:
(A) forgive or reduce any principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation (for the purpose of clarity each of the foregoing not to include any waiver of a mandatory prepayment), reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or prepayment premium payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates), or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, prior to the Collateral Release Date adversely change the relative rights of the Secured Parties under the Collateral Trust Agreement in respect of payments or Collateral, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 in a manner adverse to the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent;

(H) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.12 (a) or (b) without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Trustee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), without the consent of the Required Lenders or any Issuing Lender, but subject to any consent required by paragraphs (A) through (G) above,
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of each Lender and Issuing Lender) and the Borrower (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of any other Loan Party who is a party to the relevant Loan Document) may amend, modify or supplement any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with, to the extent applicable, the consent of the Collateral Trustee), and the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf and as agent on behalf of each Lender and Issuing Lender) may waive any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with, to the extent applicable, the consent of the Collateral Trustee), in each case to (A) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, (B) provide additional Collateral for the Obligations, (C) release any Collateral that is required or permitted to be released by the terms of any Loan Document and to release any Collateral that was or becomes, for any reason, Excluded Collateral, (D) permit additional affiliates of the Borrower or other Persons to guarantee the Obligations and/or to provide Collateral therefor (including pursuant to a Joinder Agreement), and (E) release any Subsidiary Guarantor or other guarantor that is required or permitted to be released by the terms of any Loan Document and to release any such Subsidiary Guarantor that was or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, or 2.7 or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.
(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any notices or other Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by posting such Communications on IntraLinks(tm) or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(c) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties hereto hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(d) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(e) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.
10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, the syndication of the Facilities, the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any amendment or waiver with respect thereto, including (i) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (ii) filing and recording fees and expenses and (iii) the charges of Intralinks, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the Collateral Trustee, (c) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent for, and hold each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay by the Borrower in paying, stamp, excise and similar taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons and trustees (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than with respect to taxes not specifically provided for herein, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.14 or with respect to the costs, losses or expenses which are of the type covered by Section 2.13 or Section 2.15) in respect of the financing contemplated by this Agreement or the use or the proposed use of proceeds thereof, and the other Loan Documents, or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party pertaining to any of the Mortgaged Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee, any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons or trustees. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert, and to cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors not to assert, and hereby waives, and agrees to cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee unless the same shall have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee, any of its affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, agents, controlling persons or trustees. Unless such amounts are being contested in good faith by the Borrower, all amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 45 Business Days after the party to whom such amount is owed has provided a statement or invoice therefor, setting forth in reasonable detail, the amount due and the relevant provision of this Section 10.5 under which such amount is payable by the Borrower. For purposes of the preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may ask for reasonable supporting documentation to support any request to reimburse or pay out of pocket expenses, legal fees and disbursements, that the grace period to pay any such amounts shall not commence until such supporting documentation has been received by the Borrower and that out of pocket expenses that are reimbursable by the Borrower are limited to those that are consistent with the Borrower’s then prevailing policies and procedures for reimbursement of expenses. The Borrower agrees to provide upon request by any party that may be entitled to expense reimbursement hereunder, on a confidential basis, a written statement setting forth those portions of its then prevailing policies and procedures that are relevant to obtaining expense reimbursement hereunder. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. In no event shall any party hereto or any other Loan Party be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).
10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than pursuant to Section 7.7, 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) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower or any affiliate of the Borrower or any natural person)(each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(1) | the Borrower; |
(2) | the Administrative Agent; and |
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(3) | each Issuing Lender at such time; |
provided, that none of the foregoing consents shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or, in the case of the Borrower only, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to an Ineligible Assignee without the consent of the Borrower, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans, the amount of the Commitments and Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) the parties to each assignment (or, in the case of an assignment made pursuant to the exercise of the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.17, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the assigning Lender, and the Assignee) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which shall be paid by the assigning Lender or the Assignee or, in the case of an assignment made pursuant to the exercise of the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.17, by the assigning Lender, the Assignee, or the Borrower); and
(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an administrative questionnaire.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(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
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Subject to the last sentence of (b)(iii) above, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Issuing Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of the Register to the Borrower upon its request at any time and from time to time by electronic communication.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender (or, in the case of an assignment made pursuant to the exercise of the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.17, the Administrative Agent, as agent for the 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. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) such Participant shall not be an Ineligible Participant, and (E) no later than January 31 of each year, such Lender shall provide the Borrower with a written description of each participation of Loans, and/or Commitments by such Lender during the prior year (it being understood that any failure to provide notice shall not render the participation invalid). Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to clause (A) of the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1(a) and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such 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, and such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any funds directly from the Borrower in respect of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 10.7 unless such Participant shall have provided to Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, such information as is required to be recorded in the Register pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) above as if such Participant were a Lender. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.14(d) and 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure such Lender’s 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) In connection with any assignment pursuant hereto, the assigning Lender shall surrender the Note held by it and the Borrower shall, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender or the Assignee, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the outstanding Note of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender or Assignee, as applicable, in the amount equal to the amount of such assigning Lender’s or Assignee’s, as applicable, Commitment to it after giving effect to its applicable assignment (or if the Commitments have terminated, the Loan of such party). Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each designating Lender which designates any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.
10.7 Adjustments. Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall have become due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash in Dollars from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents (other than agreements between the Borrower and any Issuing Lender contemplated by this Agreement).
10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(c) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
10.13 Judgment. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents due to any party hereto shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to such party is denominated (the “Original Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due under such judgment to such party in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this Agreement, such party agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, interest, commitment fees, Letter of Credit Fees, and Letter of Credit fronting fees payable hereunder.
10.14 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower or any Subsidiary arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower or any Subsidiary and the Lenders.
10.15 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender or any Issuing Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to take promptly, any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing, or evidencing the release of, any Collateral or Guarantee Obligations (including by instructing the Collateral Trustee to do so) (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in this Section 10.15. For the avoidance of doubt any such action shall include directing the Collateral Trustee to take action under the Collateral Trust Agreement.
(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and interest and fees owing hereunder shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or such Letters of Credit are Collateralized), the Obligations shall cease to be “Secured Obligations” under the Security Documents and the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Collateral Trustee thereof in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(c) At any time after the satisfaction of the Collateral Release Condition, upon request by the Borrower (which may be made at any time following such satisfaction) all of the security interests, mortgages, or other Liens in or on the Collateral shall be released (the date on which such release occurs, the “Collateral Release Date”); provided however that any Liens with respect to other Covered Debt and Permitted Second Lien Debt are contemporaneously released. For the avoidance of doubt, all guarantees of the Indebtedness hereunder and the provisions of Sections 7.3 and 7.4 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such release.
(d) (i) All security interests, mortgages or other Liens granted by a Subsidiary Guarantor in any Collateral, any related guarantees from such Subsidiary Guarantor, and all security interests, mortgages or other Liens on the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, will be automatically released if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases for any reason not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents to be a Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) all security interests, mortgages or other Liens granted by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor in any Collateral will be automatically released upon the request of the Borrower in connection with, and not later than two Business Days prior to the consummation of, any permitted sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including in connection with the grant of a specified consensual Permitted Lien, other than in respect of any other Covered Debt and any Permitted Second Lien Debt), and (iii) all security interests, mortgages or other Liens granted by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor in the Capital Stock of Ally Financial Inc. shall be released within two Business Days after the request of the Borrower therefor in connection with any disposition thereof.
(e) In addition, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all security interests, mortgages, or other Liens granted by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor in or on all company cars and receivables (and other Collateral evidencing, securing, or relating to such company cars or receivables including Supporting Obligations and Letter-of-Credit Rights, in each case as such terms are defined in the UCC) of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor which are contemplated for use in one or more securitization transactions or as collateral security for one or more financing transactions or letter of credit transactions not prohibited by the Loan Documents, shall be released upon the request of the Borrower; provided that in the case of any financing transactions that are not structured as securitizations having customary bankruptcy remote limited recourse provisions, the security interests in such released collateral shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement between the financing party or parties (or a trustee or an agent therefor) and the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that letter of credit transactions shall not be deemed to be financing transactions for purposes of the foregoing proviso.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section 10.15 only require the Administrative Agent to notify the Collateral Trustee that the release of the referenced Collateral is permitted, authorized, or not prohibited hereunder. The Borrower acknowledges that the Collateral is held by the Collateral Trustee and that the release thereof is governed by the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
10.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and each Transferee (each a “Receiving Party”) agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it (including information obtained by such Receiving Party pursuant to Section 6.9) by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document; provided that nothing herein shall prevent a Receiving Party from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being acknowledged and agreed that such information would be
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
subject to the confidentiality provisions of the this Section 10.16), (b) subject to a written agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section (or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section), to any actual or prospective Transferee or any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(d) or any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (c) to its employees, directors, trustees, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates for performing the purposes of a Loan Document in each case, who are subject to or bound by an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.16 (or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.16), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or regulatory agency (including self-regulated agencies), (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, after notice to the Borrower if reasonably feasible, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, after notice to the Borrower if reasonably feasible, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than by such Receiving Party in breach of this Section 10.16), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of October 27, 2010, made by General Motors Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”) and each of the other signatories hereto signing in the capacity of a “Grantor” (the Borrower and such other signatories, together with any other entity that may become a party hereto as provided herein, collectively, the “Grantors”), in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as Collateral Trustee (in such capacity, the “Collateral Trustee”) under the Collateral Trust Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2010, (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”), among the Borrower, the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, and the Collateral Trustee.

WHEREAS, certain of the Grantors (other than the Borrower) are a party to the Credit Agreement Guarantee, pursuant to which each such Grantor has guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement Guarantee);
WHEREAS, one or more of the Grantors may from time to time guarantee any or all of the Secured Obligations;
WHEREAS, the Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each other Grantor;

York UCC, need the Collateral Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any rights hereunder other than claims, damages, or demands arising out of the gross negligence (or, with respect to the handling of funds, simple negligence) or willful misconduct by the Collateral Trustee, or the material breach of the Collateral Trust Agreement or any Trust Security Document by the Collateral Trustee. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
3.7 Securities Laws.
Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
3.8 Deficiency.
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations, only to the extent it is personally liable and the reasonable fees and out of pocket disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.8 shall be construed to permit a Secured Party to pursue a deficiency claim against a Grantor that has not otherwise agreed to be liable for such claim or in an amount in excess of any limit of liability as may have been agreed between such Secured Party and such Grantor.

SECTION 4. THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE
4.1 Collateral Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Trustee shall not exercise any rights under Section 3 or under the power of attorney provided for in Section 4.1(a) until and unless an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Collateral Trustee hereby expressly agrees to refrain from the exercise of any such right until and unless an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.
(a) Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, each Grantor appoints the Collateral Trustee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Trustee the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, with prior written notice to such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contractual Obligation that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed reasonably appropriate by the Collateral Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contractual Obligation that constitutes Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property that constitutes Collateral, execute and deliver, and have filed or recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Trustee’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of the relevant Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens (other than taxes or Liens permitted by, or not prohibited by, any Secured Instrument) levied or placed on the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of any Secured Instrument and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 3.6, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Trustee or as the Collateral Trustee shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
15
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding in respect of any Collateral and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Trustee may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Patent or Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Trustee shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Trustee, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 4.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
4.2 Duty of Collateral Trustee.
The Collateral Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Trustee deals with similar property for its own account. Subject to any applicable law, and except for matters involving its gross negligence (or, with respect to the handling of funds, simple negligence), willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations hereunder, under any other Trust Security Document or under the Collateral Trust Agreement, neither the Collateral Trustee, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable
16
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Trustee’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence (or, with respect to the handling of funds, simple negligence), willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations hereunder, under any other Trust Security Document or under the Collateral Trust Agreement.
4.3 Execution of Financing Statements.
Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Trustee or such Grantor determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each relevant Grantor may, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver one or more Patent Security Agreements (or amendments, supplements, or other modifications thereto) and/or Trademark Security Agreements (or amendments, supplements, or other modifications thereto), and may amend, supplement or otherwise modify Schedule A to any previously executed and delivered Patent Security Agreement and/or Trademark Security Agreement, and file or record the same in the United States Patent and Trademark Office as and to the extent required or permitted by the terms of any Secured Instrument, any Trust Security Document or the Collateral Trust Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require a Grantor to acquire, obtain, preserve, protect, defend, or maintain any Intellectual Property, to create or xxxxx x Xxxx in any Excluded Collateral, or to restrict, limit, prevent, or prohibit a Grantor from selling, transferring, licensing, sublicensing, or otherwise disposing of, or abandoning, any Intellectual Property.
4.4 Authority of Collateral Trustee.
Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Collateral Trust Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

The Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the exercise by the Grantors of their rights under this Section 2.11(a).

In making the determinations and allocations required by Section 3.4, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Credit Agreement Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Credit Agreement Obligations, information supplied by an Additional Debt Representative in respect of the relevant Additional Debt Obligations as to the unpaid amount of such Additional Debt Obligations, and information supplied by the applicable Secured Party in respect of the relevant Secured Non-Loan Exposure as to the unpaid amount of such Secured Obligations, and the Collateral Trustee shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.4 shall be (subject to Section 3.7 and to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Holder Representative in respect of any amounts distributed to them.
3.7 Pro Rata Sharing. If, through the operation of any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, the Collateral Trustee’s security interest hereunder and under the Trust Security Documents is enforced with respect to some, but not all, of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, the Collateral Trustee shall nonetheless apply the proceeds of the Collateral for the benefit of the holders of all Secured Obligations in the proportions and subject to the priorities specified herein; provided, that nothing in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to require the Collateral Trustee to disregard or violate any court order binding upon it.

The Borrower will request that each Holder Representative notify the Collateral Trustee of any changes of the officers of each thereof authorized to give directions hereunder on behalf of such parties prior to the date of any such changes. If the Collateral Trustee does not receive the names of the officers of each Holder Representative authorized to give directions hereunder on behalf of such parties, the Collateral Trustee may rely on any person purporting to be authorized to give directions hereunder on behalf of such parties. If the Collateral Trustee is not informed of changes of the officers of any Holder Representative authorized to give directions hereunder on behalf of such parties, the Collateral Trustee may rely on the information previously provided to the Collateral Trustee.
4.3 Compensation and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Trustee, from time to time upon written demand in accordance with this Section 4.3, (i) the fees set forth in the letter agreement dated September 10, 2010 between the Borrower and the Collateral Trustee with respect to its services hereunder and under the Trust Security Documents and for administering the Trust Estate, such fees to be payable in the amounts and on the dates set forth in such letter agreement and (ii) all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Trustee (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, advisors and agents) (A) arising in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification, and termination of this Agreement and each Trust Security Document or the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or thereof (including reasonable out-of-pocket search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts which may be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Trust Security Document), (B) incurred or required to be advanced in connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to any Trust Security Document and the preservation, protection or defense of the Collateral Trustee’s rights under this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents and in and to the Collateral and the Trust Estate, (C) incurred by the Collateral Trustee in connection with the removal of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 5.7(a) or (D) incurred in connection with the execution of the directions provided by the Controlling Party. Such fees, costs and expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law relating to creditors’ rights generally. If the Borrower fails to pay any amounts owing to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.3, the obligations of the Secured Parties to indemnify the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement or any similar provision in any Additional Debt Document shall be applicable to such amounts on a pro rata basis amongst such Secured Parties.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may ask for reasonable supporting documentation to support any request to reimburse or pay out-of-pocket expenses, legal fees and disbursements, and that the grace period to pay any such amounts shall not commence until such supporting documentation has been received by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower be obligated for (1) any out-of-pocket expenses that are not consistent with the Borrower’s then prevailing policies and procedures for reimbursement of expenses or (2) any fees or expense reimbursement obligations in excess of the cap on fees and expenses (the “Cap”) set forth in the letter agreement referenced in clause (i) of this Section 4.3 or in any agreement replacing or modifying such letter agreement (it being understood that the Cap shall only be applicable to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of (a) this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents on or prior to the Effective Date, (b) the Post-Closing Deliverables (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Perfection Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (c) any modification to this Agreement or any Trust Security Document in connection with any such Post-Closing Deliverable).

4.4 Stamp and Other Similar Taxes. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Trustee, each Holder Representative and each Secured Party from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp or any other similar tax, and any penalties or interest with respect thereto, which may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement, any Trust Security Document, the Trust Estate or any Collateral. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 4.4 shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.
4.5 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold the Collateral Trustee (and its directors, officers, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”)) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, advisors and agents) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement and performance of this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents, unless arising from the gross negligence (or simple negligence in the handling of funds) or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement or any Trust Security Document by, the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees, including for taxes in any jurisdiction in which the Collateral Trustee is subject to tax by reason of actions hereunder or under the Trust Security Documents, unless such taxes are imposed on or measured by compensation paid to the Collateral Trustee under Section 4.3. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Collateral
26
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Trustee under or with respect to any contract, agreement, interest or obligation constituting part of the Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions thereof, the Borrower will save, indemnify and keep the Collateral Trustee harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of any Grantor thereunder, arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such Grantor or its successors from any Grantor, and all such obligations of the Borrower shall be and remain enforceable against and only against the Borrower and shall not be enforceable against the Collateral Trustee. If the Borrower fails to pay any amounts owing to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.5, the obligations of the Secured Parties to indemnify the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement or any similar provision in any Additional Debt Document shall be applicable to such amounts on a pro rata basis amongst such Secured Parties. The agreements in this Section 4.5 shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee hereunder. In no event shall any party hereto be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

4.7 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the reasonable written request of the Collateral Trustee, and at the expense of the Borrower, each Grantor will promptly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as is necessary or reasonably requested further to perfect, or to protect the perfection of, the liens and security interests granted under the Trust Security Documents, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Trust Security Document, (i) no Grantor shall be required to perfect the security interests granted by it in any Collateral by any means other than by (a) in the case of real estate Collateral, execution, delivery and recordation of a Mortgage, (b) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant State(s) and (c) such additional actions as may be required pursuant to any Security Instrument or Trust Security Document and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to perform any action under this Section 4.7 unless such action is also required by an applicable Trust Security Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Collateral Trustee have any obligation to monitor the perfection or continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the Collateral.
4.8 Inspection of Properties and Books. So long as a Notice of Acceleration shall be in effect, the Borrower and the other Grantors shall give the Collateral Trustee access, at its reasonable request upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours, to all Collateral and to all books, records, documents and information in the possession of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Collateral;

5.2 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein, all of which are made solely by the Grantors. The Collateral Trustee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Grantors thereto or as to the security afforded by this Agreement or any Trust Security Document, or as to the validity, execution (except its execution), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Trust Security Documents or the Secured Obligations, and the Collateral Trustee shall incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters.
(b) The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by the Grantors of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Trust Security Document or Secured Instrument.

Nothing in this Section 5.2(b) shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any certificate so supplied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.2(b),
28
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
so long as no Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower with respect to the matters set forth in the second sentence of this Section 5.2(b).
(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement or any Trust Security Document if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Trustee to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, unless the Collateral Trustee receives security or indemnity satisfactory to it against such tax (or equivalent liability), or any liability resulting from such qualification, in each case as results from the taking of such action under this Agreement or any Trust Security Document.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall have the same rights with respect to any Secured Obligation held by it as any other Secured Party and may exercise such rights as though it were not the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, any of the Grantors or any of their affiliates as if it were not the Collateral Trustee.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with this Agreement or the Trust Security Documents except for its own gross negligence (or simple negligence in the handling of funds), willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement or any Trust Security Document.
5.3 Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such trusts, powers and duties. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5.4 Reliance by Collateral Trustee. (a) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement or the Trust Security Documents the Collateral Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be proved or established in connection with the Collateral Trustee taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of a Grantor delivered to the Collateral Trustee, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5.5.
(b) The Collateral Trustee may consult with counsel, and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder or under any Trust Security Document in accordance therewith. While a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents from any court of competent jurisdiction.
29
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(c) The Collateral Trustee may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document which it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its own gross negligence (or simple negligence in the handling of funds) or willful misconduct, or a material breach of this Agreement or any Trust Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in the Collateral Trustee by this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents, at the request or direction of the Controlling Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Collateral Trustee shall have been provided adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Collateral Trustee in compliance with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Collateral Trustee.
(e) Upon any application or demand by any of the Grantors (except any such application or demand which is expressly permitted to be made orally) to the Collateral Trustee to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Trust Security Document, the Borrower shall, if requested to do so by the Collateral Trustee, furnish to the Collateral Trustee a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement, in any relevant Trust Security Document or in the Credit Agreement or any applicable Additional Debt Document relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of any document is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or a Trust Security Document relating to such particular application or demand, such additional document shall also be furnished.
(f) Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of a Responsible Officer of a Grantor provided to such counsel in connection with such opinion or representations made by a Responsible Officer of a Grantor in a writing filed with the Collateral Trustee.
5.5 Limitations on Duties of Trustee. (a) Unless a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Trust Security Document against the Collateral Trustee. If and so long as a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b), exercise the rights and powers vested in the Collateral Trustee by this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents, and shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in accordance with the direction of the Controlling Party.
30
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(b) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action which is discretionary with the Collateral Trustee under the provisions hereof or of any Trust Security Document, except upon the written request of the Controlling Party at such time. The Collateral Trustee shall make available for inspection and copying by each Holder Representative and each relevant Secured Party in respect of Secured Non-Loan Exposure, each certificate or other paper furnished to the Collateral Trustee by any of the Grantors under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Collateral.
(c) No provision of this Agreement or of any Trust Security Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Collateral Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Collateral Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation or if such performance or exercise would constitute doing business by the Collateral Trustee in such jurisdiction or impose a tax on the Collateral Trustee by reason thereof or to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder.
5.6 Moneys to be Held in Trust. All moneys received by the Collateral Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Trust Security Document (except Trustee Fees) shall be held in trust for the purposes for which they were paid or are held.
5.7 Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Trustee. (a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time, by giving written notice to the Borrower and each Holder Representative, resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee, (ii) the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Collateral Trustee and (iii) the approval of such successor Collateral Trustee evidenced by one or more instruments signed by the Controlling Party and, so long as no Notice of Acceleration is then in effect, by the Borrower (which approval, in each case, shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). If no successor Collateral Trustee shall be appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 90 days after the Collateral Trustee gives the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Collateral Trustee, the Borrower (so long as no Notice of Acceleration is then in effect) or, if a Notice of Acceleration is effective and remains in effect, the Controlling Party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Trustee shall have been appointed as provided in this Section 5.7. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Collateral Trustee appointed by the Borrower or the Controlling Party, as the case may be, as provided in Section 5.7(b). While a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Controlling Party may, at any time upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee, the Borrower and each other Holder Representative, remove the Collateral Trustee and appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of such appointment by the successor. If a Notice of Acceleration is not in effect, the Borrower may, at any time upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee and each Holder Representative, and with the consent of the Controlling Party (such consent shall not be
31
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
unreasonably delayed or withheld) remove the Collateral Trustee and appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of such appointment by the successor. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to Trustee Fees to the extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before such resignation or removal, but shall promptly refund to the Borrower any such Trustee Fees which have been paid in advance and which are attributable to the period following such resignation or removal.
(b) If at any time the Collateral Trustee shall resign or be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, or if at any time a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Trustee for any other cause, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by the Borrower with the consent (not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld) of the Controlling Party, if no Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, and otherwise by the Controlling Party. The powers, duties, authority and title of the predecessor Collateral Trustee shall be terminated and cancelled without procuring the resignation of such predecessor and without any other formality (except for the consent of the Controlling Party referred to above and as may be required by applicable law) other than appointment and designation of a successor in writing duly delivered to the predecessor, the successor and the Borrower. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited, and this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents shall vest in such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Controlling Party, the Borrower, or the successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such predecessor hereunder and under the Trust Security Documents and shall deliver all Collateral held by it or its agents to such successor. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing from any Grantor be required by any successor Collateral Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Collateral Trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such successor, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by such Grantor. If such Grantor shall not have executed and delivered any such deed, conveyance or other instrument within 30 days after it received a written request from the successor Collateral Trustee to do so, or if a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the predecessor Collateral Trustee may execute the same on behalf of such Grantor. Such Grantor hereby appoints any predecessor Collateral Trustee as its agent and attorney to act for it as provided in the next preceding sentence.
5.8 Status of Successor Collateral Trustee. Every successor Collateral Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 5.7 shall be a bank or trust company in good standing and having power to act as Collateral Trustee hereunder, incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and having its principal corporate trust office within the 48 contiguous United States and shall also have capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $500,000,000, if there be such an institution with such capital, surplus and undivided profits willing, qualified and able to accept the trust hereunder upon reasonable or customary terms.
32
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
5.9 Merger of the Collateral Trustee. Any corporation into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, shall be Collateral Trustee under this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.
5.10 Co-Collateral Trustee; Separate Collateral Trustee. (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or to avoid any violation of law or imposition on the Collateral Trustee of taxes by such jurisdiction not otherwise imposed on the Collateral Trustee, or the Collateral Trustee shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or prudent in the interest of the Secured Parties, or any Holder Representative shall in writing so request the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, or the Collateral Trustee shall deem it desirable for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Trust Security Document, the Collateral Trustee and each of the Grantors shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more Persons approved by the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any of the Collateral under this Agreement or under any of the Trust Security Documents, jointly with the Collateral Trustee originally named herein or therein or any successor Collateral Trustee, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of any of the Collateral. If any of the Grantors shall not have joined in the execution of such instruments and agreements within 30 days after it receives a written request from the Collateral Trustee to do so, or if a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Collateral Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10(a) without the concurrence of such Grantors and execute and deliver such instruments and agreements on behalf of such Grantors. Each of the Grantors hereby appoints the Collateral Trustee as its agent and attorney to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10(a) in either of such contingencies.
(b) Every separate trustee and every co-trustee, other than any successor Collateral Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 5.7, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Collateral Trustee in respect of the custody, control and management of moneys, papers or securities shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee or any agent appointed by the Collateral Trustee;
(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Trustee hereunder and under the relevant Trust Security Document or Documents shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Collateral Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, or unless the performance of such act or acts would result in the imposition of any tax on the Collateral Trustee which would not be imposed absent such joint act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees;
33
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(iii) no power given hereby or by the relevant Trust Security Documents to, or which it is provided herein or therein may be exercised by, any such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees shall be exercised hereunder or thereunder by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral Trustee, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(v) the Borrower and the Collateral Trustee, at any time by an instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and, in that case by an instrument in writing executed by them jointly, may appoint a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Borrower shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 30 days after it receives a written request from the Collateral Trustee to do so, or if a Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Borrower, the Borrower hereby appointing the Collateral Trustee its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in such contingency. If the Collateral Trustee shall have appointed a separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees as above provided, the Collateral Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and the successor to any such separate trustee or co-trustee shall be appointed by the Borrower and the Collateral Trustee, or by the Collateral Trustee alone pursuant to this Section 5.10(b).
5.11 Treatment of Payee or Indorsee by Collateral Trustee; Representatives of Secured Parties.

(c) No such Second Priority Secured Party shall, prior to the payment in full of the First Priority Secured Obligations, assert, demand, request, plead or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation and any other right that may otherwise be available under any applicable Requirement of Law with respect to any Collateral to a creditor in its capacity as beneficiary of a junior Lien on such Collateral;
(d) No such Second Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by any First Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that any such Second Priority Secured Party may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on such Second Priority Secured Party imposed hereby;
(e) If any Grantor becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the Required Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide any DIP Financing to any Grantor or to consent (or not object) to the provision of any DIP Financing to any Grantor, whether or not proceeds of any such DIP Financing are being used to refinance all or any portion of the Credit Agreement Obligations or any First Priority Additional Debt Obligations, then each such Second Priority Secured Party (a) will be deemed to have consented to, and will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing, (b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 8.1(g) below, (c) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Second Priority Secured Obligations (i) to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Secured Obligations are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement) or, to the extent the proceeds of such DIP Financing refinance all or any portion of the First Priority Secured Obligations, on the same terms as the Second Priority Secured Obligations are subordinated to the First Priority Secured Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) to any adequate protection provided to the First Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Required Secured Parties, and (d) agrees that notice received two calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice;
(f) No such Second Priority Secured Party will seek relief from the automatic stay as provided in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Required Secured Parties, except (i) to the extent that the Required Secured Parties and/or the First Priority Secured Parties seek or obtain relief from or modification of such stay and only to the extent of such relief or modification or (ii) if a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 8.1(g) is denied;
45
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(g) No such Second Priority Secured Party shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (a) any request by any First Priority Secured Party for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to any First Priority Secured Party or (b) any objection by any First Priority Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any First Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section (but subject to all other provisions of this Agreement), in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the First Priority Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with replacement Liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, and such First Priority Secured Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to them, then in connection with any such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral such Second Priority Secured Parties may seek or accept adequate protection consisting solely of a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Secured Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens on the Collateral securing the Second Priority Secured Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Secured Obligations under this Agreement and superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Priority Secured Parties; and (ii) in the event any such Second Priority Secured Party seeks or accepts adequate protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second Priority Secured Party agrees that the First Priority Secured Parties shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Priority Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Priority Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Second Priority Secured Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing such First Priority Secured Obligations under this Agreement. The Second Priority Secured Parties agree that except as expressly set forth in this Section none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the Required Secured Parties;
(h) If any First Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount that constituted the Proceeds of Collateral, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any such amount (a “Recovery”), solely to the extent such amount constituted the Proceeds of Collateral, then the First Priority Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the payment in full of the First Priority Secured Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The
46
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Second Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefits of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement;
(i) No such Second Priority Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any Grantor that constitute Collateral and that is supported by the Required Secured Parties, and each such Second Priority Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the Required Secured Parties and to have released its Liens on such assets; provided that the net proceeds of such sale shall have been applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 3.4; provided further that each Second Priority Secured Party may credit bid on such Collateral in any such disposition in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, so long as such credit bid contemplates the payment in full of the First Priority Secured Obligations;
(j) Each such Second Priority Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Priority Secured Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Priority Secured Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties, with the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties;
(k) To the extent that a Second Priority Secured Party has not voted its claim with respect to the Second Priority Secured Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding on any proposed plan of reorganization prior to the date which is 10 days before the expiration of the time to vote such claim, the Collateral Trustee may vote such claim on behalf of such Second Priority Secured Party at the direction of the Controlling Party;
(l) No such Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Post-Petition Interest, fees or expenses in respect of any First Priority Secured Obligation. No First Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Priority
47
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Secured Party for the allowance and accrual (but not payment, unless such payment is permitted under Section 8.1(g)) in any Insolvency Proceeding of Post-Petition Interest, fees or expenses in respect of any Second Priority Secured Obligation;
(m) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Secured Party of adequate protection (except as provided in Section 8.1(g) and except for actions consistent with this Agreement) or the asserting by any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under any Additional Debt Document in respect of the Collateral;
(n) This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding;
(o) If, prior to the payment in full of the First Priority Secured Obligations, any such Second Priority Secured Party receives any Post-Petition Securities on account of any Second Priority Secured Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding and such Post-Petition Securities are secured by any Lien upon any property of any reorganized debtor which is also subject to Liens securing Post-Petition Securities received on account of any First Priority Secured Obligations in such Insolvency Proceedings, such Liens shall be junior and subordinate to the Liens securing Post-Petition Securities received on account of the First Priority Secured Obligations to the same extent as all other Liens securing Second Priority Secured Obligations hereunder and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement;
(p) Each such Second Priority Secured Party may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors in accordance with the terms of the Secured Instruments with respect to its Second Priority Secured Obligations and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement;
(q) Except to the extent provided in the proviso to Section 8.1(a) hereof, each such Second Priority Secured Party agrees that it will not enter into, or accept the benefit of, any security agreement or mortgage covering the Collateral or any portion thereof to secure the Second Priority Secured Obligations and will not file any financing statements with respect to the Collateral and its Second Priority Additional Debt, it being understood that this Agreement and the Trust Security Documents (together with the filings contemplated thereby) are the only such security documents permitted to secure the Second Priority Additional Debt insofar as the foregoing pertains to the Collateral;
(r) Until the First Priority Secured Obligations have been paid in full, any Collateral, including without limitation any such Collateral constituting Proceeds, that may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties (or, if no Notice of Acceleration is effective or remains in effect, for the benefit of the Grantors), in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to make any such endorsements as agent for any Holder Representative (or, if no Notice of Acceleration has been received by the Collateral Trustee, is effective, and remains in effect, for the Grantors) in respect of any Second Priority Secured Obligations (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable); and
48
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(s) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 8.1), the rights and remedies of each Secured Party with respect to any property or assets that do not constitute Collateral or under any agreement, document or other instrument evidencing, creating or governing any Lien thereon, shall not be impaired, altered or affected by this Agreement
8.2 First Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the First Priority Secured Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Second Priority Secured Parties (and, to the extent applicable, the Grantors) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Agreement Document or any Additional Debt Document in respect of First Priority Additional Debt;
(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the First Priority Secured Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Credit Agreement Document or any Additional Debt Document in respect of First Priority Additional Debt;
(iii) prior to the payment in full of the First Priority Secured Obligations, any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any Lien in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any Refinancing of all or any portion of the First Priority Secured Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or
(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the First Priority Secured Obligations or any Second Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
8.3 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Grantors. Each Secured Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and each of the other Grantors and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Priority Secured Obligations or the Second Priority Secured Obligations. No Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any other Secured Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other Secured Party, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to such other Secured Party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any other information

2.1 Guarantee.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and at all times thereafter, of all Guaranteed Obligations.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor and Other Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor or Other Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Guaranteed Parties hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Guaranteed Obligations.
(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Guaranteed Party from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.
2.2 Right of Contribution.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor and Other Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that such 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. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s or
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Other Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to any Guaranteed Party and each Guarantor shall remain liable to such Guaranteed Party for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3 No Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Guaranteed Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Guaranteed Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Trustee, the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Guaranteed Parties by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Guaranteed Parties, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as such Guarantor (or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent) may determine.
2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Guaranteed Party may be rescinded by such Guaranteed Party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Guaranteed Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Guaranteed Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Guaranteed Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
reliance by any Guaranteed Party upon the guarantee contained herein or acceptance of the guarantee contained herein; the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained herein; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Guaranteed Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained herein. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained herein shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Guaranteed Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against any Guaranteed Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor or any other obligor on any obligation of the Borrower for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained herein, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect following the occurrence of the Collateral Release Date. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Guaranteed Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.6 Reinstatement.
The guarantee contained herein shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Guaranteed Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
2.7 Payments.
Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Funding Office.

No Guaranteed Party other than the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy hereunder, it being understood that all of such rights and remedies are vested in, and are exercisable solely by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties.

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
3.4 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.
No Guaranteed Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 3.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Guaranteed Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Guaranteed Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Guaranteed Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
3.5 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Without intending to duplicate the obligations of the Guarantors under Section 2.1, if and to the extent that the Borrower is required to pay or reimburse the Guaranteed Parties (or any of them), for various costs and expenses contemplated by Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, or to indemnify the Indemnitees (or any of them) for the Indemnified Liabilities, in each case as and to the extent (and in the manner) contemplated by Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to make such payments or reimbursements and to provide such indemnification.
(b) The agreements of the Guarantors in this Section 3.5 shall survive repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement.
3.6 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
3.7 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
3.8 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
3.9 Section Headings.
The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

(i) The Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (B) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (the Mortgagor expressly granting to the Mortgagee the power of sale), or (C) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage as the law may allow. The Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and all costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements.

The only notice required under such Chapter 32 is to publish notice in a local newspaper and to post a copy of the notice on the Mortgaged Property.] [Local Counsel: Please insert appropriate statutory references.]
WAIVER: BY CONFERRING THIS POWER OF SALE UPON THE MORTGAGEE, THE MORTGAGOR, FOR ITSELF, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AFTER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CONSULTATION WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY AND INTELLIGENTLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE STATE, BOTH TO A HEARING ON THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE AND THE EXERCISE OF THE POWER OF SALE.
(iv) The rights hereby conferred upon the Mortgagee have been agreed upon prior to any default by the Mortgagor and the exercise by the Mortgagee of any such rights shall not be deemed to put the Mortgagee in the status of a “mortgagee in possession”.
(v) The Mortgagee or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Mortgagor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Mortgagee shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Mortgaged Property or in any way relating to the Mortgaged Property or the rights of the Mortgagee and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order provided for in the Collateral Trust Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Mortgagee of any other amount required by any provision of law, will the Mortgagee account for the surplus, if any, to the Mortgagor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Mortgagee or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.
(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Real Estate may be sold, at the Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and the Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held. At the election of the Mortgagee, the Mortgaged Property may be offered first in parcels and then as a whole, the offer producing the highest price for the entire property offered to prevail. The Mortgagor hereby waives any right to require any such sale to be made.
9
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage that results in an Enforcement Event, the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and the Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.
6. Right of the Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, the Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, the Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which the Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Secured Obligations as having been paid.
7. [Intentionally Deleted].
8. Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the liens or charges of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Secured Obligations, the Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Transaction Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Transaction Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at the Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.
(b) No recovery of any judgment by the Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of the Mortgagor shall affect the liens of this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.
(c) If the Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage or to direct a power of sale, the Mortgagor authorizes the Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the liens of this Mortgage (or direct the sale of the Mortgaged Property, as the case may be) subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a sale of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such sale will not be asserted by the Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by the Mortgagee to collect the Secured Obligations or to foreclose the liens of this Mortgage.
10
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as valid liens on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.
9. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) In addition to being a real property mortgage, this Mortgage constitutes a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State (the “Code”). If an Enforcement Event shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, the Mortgagee shall have the option, subject to applicable law, of either (i) proceeding under the Code and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If the Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten (10) Business Days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by the Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and customary legal expenses. At the Mortgagee’s request, the Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to the Mortgagee at a place designated by the Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.
(b) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Code) on the Land, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Code upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures. The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Schedule A hereto. The record owner of the real property described in Schedule A hereto is the Mortgagor. For purposes of Article Nine of the Code, (i) the Mortgagor is the “debtor” and is the type of organization formed in the jurisdiction of organization as set forth in the Preamble of this Mortgage, (ii) the organization number assigned debtor by the state in which debtor is organized is [ ], (iii) the Mortgagee is the “secured party,” (iv) information concerning the security interests created hereby may be obtained from the Mortgagee at its address set forth in the Preamble of this Mortgage, (v) the Mortgagor’s mailing address is set forth in the Preamble of this Mortgage, and (vi) this financing statement is to be recorded in the real property records for the county in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
11
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
10. Assignment of Rents. The Mortgagor hereby assigns to the Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and the Mortgagor grants to the Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Secured Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Secured Obligations are fully paid, but the Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and the Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event; such right of the Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rent may be revoked by the Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Enforcement Event, by giving not less than ten (10) days’ written notice of such revocation to the Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, the Mortgagor shall pay over to the Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits, and any Rents collected from the Premises. If the Mortgagor shall pay (or cause to be paid) the Secured Obligations on or before the date the same are required to be paid, then this assignment shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and all right, title and interest conveyed pursuant to this assignment shall become vested in the Mortgagor without the necessity of any further act or requirement by the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any). [The Mortgagee shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits conferred by Act No. 210 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1953 as it may be amended, including by Act No. 151 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1966 (MCLA 554,231 et seq.), and Act No. 228 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1925 as it may be amended, including by Act No. 55 of the Michigan Public Acts of L933 (MCLA 554.211 et seq.).] [Local Counsel: Please insert appropriate statutory reference.] The collection of rents by the Mortgagee shall in no way waive the right of the Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event.
11. Additional Rights. The holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall the Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate deed of trust joining any tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the mortgagees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder or beneficiary contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Enforcement Event, the Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, apply all or any part of any amounts on deposit with the Mortgagee under this Mortgage against all or any part of the Secured Obligations. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Enforcement Event or invalidate any act taken by the Mortgagee on account of such Enforcement Event.
12
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
12. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement to the Mortgagor and to the Mortgagee as specified therein.
13. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. Any agreement made by the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.
14. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of any Transaction Document, the obligations of the Mortgagor and of any other obligor under any Transaction Documents shall be subject to the limitation that the Secured Parties shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall the Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to the Secured Parties, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by the Secured Parties.
15. The Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. (a) The Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of the Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights of redemption of each constituent of the Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of the Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to the Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Secured Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt, and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent the Mortgagor may do so, the Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgagor
13
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and the Mortgagor, for the Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of exercise by the Mortgagee of the foreclosure rights, power of sale, or other rights hereby created.
16. Remedies Not Exclusive. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Transaction Documents or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Secured Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Mortgagee’s rights to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee, it being agreed that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Transaction Documents to the Mortgagee or to which the Mortgagee may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Mortgagee, as the case may be. In no event shall the Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to the Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and the Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.
17. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, the Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Secured Obligations upon other property in the State (whether or not such property is owned by the Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Secured Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is
14
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
located. The Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to the Secured Parties to extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Transaction Documents, and the Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. The Mortgagor further agrees that if the Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Secured Obligations, or if the Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State, the Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by the Mortgagee in any such proceedings or the occurrence of any sale in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude the Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State) which directly or indirectly secures the Secured Obligations, and the Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and the Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Secured Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.
18. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of the Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Mortgagee, and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Mortgagee at any time if in its sole discretion such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of the Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind the Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of the Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, and shall inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of Mortgagors shall be joint and several.
15
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
19. No Waivers, etc. Any failure by the Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof and the Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by the Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the liens of this Mortgage or the priority of such liens over any subordinate lien or deed of trust. The Mortgagor hereby waives any defense based on impairment of the collateral.
20. Governing Law, etc. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State.
21. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “the Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein”; the word ‘Mortgagee” shall mean “the Mortgagee or any successor agent for the Secured Parties”; the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity; and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein, but shall not include any Excluded Collateral.

22. Future Advance Mortgage. This Mortgage is a “Future Advance Mortgage” under [MCLA 565.901 et seq.] [Local Counsel: Please insert appropriate statutory reference.] All future advances under this Mortgage and the Transaction Documents shall have the applicable priority as if the future advance was made on the date that this Mortgage was recorded. Notice is hereby given that the Secured Obligations secured hereby may increase as a result of not only future advances, but also defaults hereunder by the Mortgagor, which may include (but are not limited to) unpaid interest or late charges, unpaid taxes, assessments or insurance premiums which the Mortgagee elects to advance, defaults under leases that the Mortgagee elects to cure, attorney fees or costs incurred in enforcing its rights, or other expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in protecting the Premises, the security of this Mortgage or the Mortgagee’s rights and interests.

23. Collateral Trustee. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, the Mortgagor appoints the Mortgagee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Mortgagor and in the name of the Mortgagor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Mortgage, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Mortgage, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Mortgagor hereby gives the Mortgagee the power and right, on behalf of the Mortgagor, with notice to the Mortgagor, to do any or all of the following, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event:

(c) Pursuant to any applicable law, the Mortgagor authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Mortgagee, to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Mortgaged Property in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Mortgagee under this Mortgage; provided, that no financing statement shall be filed with a collateral description that is more extensive than the description contained in the financing statement filed in connection with the initial closing under the Credit Agreement without the consent of the Mortgagor; and provided further, that the Mortgagor’s authorization hereunder is limited to the extent provided in Section 4.7 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

19
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
interests created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the application of the doctrine of merger and the Mortgagee shall continue to have and enjoy all its rights and privileges as to each separate estate. Upon foreclosure (or transfer of title by power of sale) of this Mortgage, none of the Leases shall be destroyed or terminated as a result of such foreclosure (or sale), by application of the doctrine of merger or as a matter of law, unless the Mortgagee takes all actions required by law to terminate the Leases as a result of foreclosure (or sale).

27. State-Specific Provisions.
[Local Counsel: Insert state-specific provisions here.]
28. Collateral Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Mortgage and the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder by the Collateral Trustee at any time that an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, and may be exercised only as and when, and to the extent, provided therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement and this Mortgage, the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement will govern.

Re: | General Motors Holdings LLC | |

Ladies and Gentlemen:
As attorneys on the Legal Staff of General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), we have acted in that capacity on behalf of the Parent, General Motors Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), and the subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors”, and each, an “Initial Subsidiary Guarantor”; and, together with the Parent, collectively, the “Guarantors”, and each, a “Guarantor”; and, together with the Borrower and the Parent, collectively, the “Loan Parties”, and each, a “Loan Party”), in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”, and each, a “Lender”), Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”), and (ii) certain additional Loan Documents referred to below which have been executed and delivered by one or more of the Loan Parties.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined, or caused to be examined, originals or copies of the following documents:
(i) the Credit Agreement, executed by the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent;
(ii) the Guarantee, executed by each Guarantor;

(iv) the Securities Account Control Agreement among the Collateral Trustee, as “Secured Party”, the Borrower, as “Pledgor”, and Citibank, N.A., as “Securities Intermediary”;

The documents specified in subparagraphs (iii) through (vii) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Collateral Documents”. The term “Organic Documents” means the Charters and the By-Laws of the Loan Parties.
In rendering this opinion, we have obtained, or caused to be obtained, such certificates and other information from public and government officials and from officers and employees of the Loan Parties, and have also examined, or caused to be examined, such documents and organizational and other records as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed that each certificate obtained from a Governmental Authority relied on by us is accurate, complete and authentic, and that all relevant official public records to which each such certificate relates are accurate and complete. In addition, we have examined or caused to be examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing, and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such organizational and other records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than of those natural persons signing on behalf of the Loan Parties), the legal capacity of natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that:
1. No Loan Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, registered or required to be registered as such within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
2. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and the payment of its obligations thereunder and the granting of the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents (a) will not result in any violation of (1) the Organic Documents of such Loan Party, (2) assuming that proceeds of borrowings will be used in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Federal statute, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”) or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any Federal statute or the DGCL or the DLLCA or any order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body and (b) will not breach or result in a default under (in each case material to the Parent and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole), or result in the creation of any Lien upon (in each case material to the Parent and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole) any Loan Party’s properties pursuant to, the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee, lease financing agreement or other similar agreement or instrument known to us under which any Loan Party is a debtor or guarantor, other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents or the Collateral Trust Agreement.
3. Except as set forth in any Report on Form 8-K, 10-K, or 10-Q of the Parent filed with the SEC or the Parent’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-168919), and any amendments thereto filed with the SEC, we do not know of any legal or governmental proceeding pending or threatened to which any Loan Party is a party, or to which any property of any Loan Party is subject, that in either case questions the validity of the Loan Documents or involves a probable risk of an adverse decision that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

October 27, 2010
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
under the Credit Agreement hereinafter referred to
and the Lenders listed on Schedule 1.1A thereto
Re: | General Motors Holdings LLC | |
Credit Agreement dated as of October 27, 2010 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as New York counsel to General Motors Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and the subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors”, and each, an “Initial Subsidiary Guarantor”; and, together with the Parent, collectively, the “Guarantors”, and each, a “Guarantor”; and, together with the Borrower and the Parent, collectively, the “Loan Parties”, and each, a “Loan Party”), in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”, and each, a “Lender”), Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”), and (ii) certain additional Loan Documents referred to below which have been executed and delivered by one or more of the Loan Parties. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement, and “Secured Parties” has the meaning assigned to such term in the Collateral Trust Agreement. This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.2(f)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents:
(i) the Credit Agreement, executed by the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent;
(ii) the Guarantee, executed by each Guarantor;
(iii) the Security Agreement, executed by the Borrower, each Initial Subsidiary Guarantor, and the Collateral Trustee;
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
October 27, 2010
Page 2
(iv) the Securities Account Control Agreement executed by the Collateral Trustee, as “Secured Party”, the Borrower, as “Pledgor”, and Citibank, N.A., as “Securities Intermediary” (the “Control Agreement”);
(v) the Mortgages relating to the Mortgaged Property listed on Schedule 1.1E to the Collateral Trust Agreement, each executed by the Borrower or an Initial Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of the Collateral Trustee;
(vi) the Patent Security Agreement, executed by General Motors LLC, GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. and the Collateral Trustee;
(vii) the Trademark Security Agreement, executed by General Motors LLC, OnStar, LLC and the Collateral Trustee;
(viii) the Note, executed by the Borrower in favor of Lloyds TS Bank Plc in the maximum principal amount of $100,000,000.00;
(ix) the Note, executed by the Borrower in favor of Banco Itaú Europa, S.A. - Sucursal Financeira Internacional in the maximum principal amount of $100,000,000.00; and
(x) unfiled copies of the financing statements (the “Delaware Financing Statements”) naming the Borrower or an Initial Subsidiary Guarantor, respectively, as debtor, and the Collateral Trustee, as secured party, to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Filing Office”) and attached hereto as Annex C.
The documents specified in subparagraphs (i) through (ix) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents”. The documents specified in subparagraphs (iii) through (vii) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Collateral Documents”. The Collateral Documents other than the Mortgages are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Personal Property Collateral Documents”. The term “Collateral Account” means account number “GM Control Account - #798510” established in the name of the Borrower at Citibank, N.A., to the extent the UCC (the “New York UCC”) governs the creation and perfection of a security interest in such account.
In rendering this opinion, we have obtained such certificates and other information from public and government officials and from officers and employees of the Loan Parties, and have also examined such documents and organizational and other records as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
In our examination of the documents referred to in this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals or copies, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
In rendering the opinions set forth in this opinion, we have, with your consent, relied only upon the examination of documents described above and have made no independent verification or investigation of the factual matters set forth therein.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications, assumptions, exclusions, and other limitations stated herein and as limited thereby, and after examination of such matters of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each Loan Party is a corporation or limited liability company existing and in good standing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”), as the case may be.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
October 27, 2010
Page 3
2. Each Loan Party has the corporate or the limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Board of Directors, Board of Managers or the sole member, as the case may be, of each Loan Party has adopted by requisite vote the resolutions necessary to authorize such Loan Party’s execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.
3. Each Loan Document (other than the Mortgages as to which we express no opinion) to which a Loan Party is a party is a valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto and is enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.
4. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, the performance by each Loan Party of its obligations under each such Loan Document, and the borrowings by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, will not (i) violate any order, writ, injunction, judgment, determination, award or decree of any court applicable to such Loan Party of which we are aware, or (ii) constitute a violation by such Loan Party of any applicable provision of existing statutory law or governmental regulation covered by this opinion, in each case, which in our experience, without having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents.
5. No Loan Party is presently required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or make any filing with, any United States federal or State of New York court or governmental or regulatory agency in order to obtain the right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, or to perform its obligations under such Loan Documents, or, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, except, in each case, for filings and recordings required for the perfection (and continuation) of security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and actions or filings required in connection with the ordinary course of conduct by each such Loan Party of its business and ownership or operation by such Loan Party of its assets. No Loan Party is presently required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or make any filing with, any State of Delaware court or governmental or regulatory agency, acting pursuant to the DGCL or the DLLCA, in order to obtain the right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, or to perform its obligations under such Loan Documents, or, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, except, in each case, for filings and recordings required for the perfection (and continuation) of security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents and actions or filings required in connection with the ordinary course of conduct by each such Loan Party of its business and ownership or operation by such Loan Party of its assets.
6. Assuming that the Borrower will comply the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower and the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]

7. The Security Agreement creates (i) in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), and (ii) in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), a security interest in the Collateral described therein in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC (the “Security Agreement Article 9 Collateral”).
8. The Collateral Trustee will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the Capital Stock of the Domestic Subsidiaries identified on Schedule 3 to the Security Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”) consisting of certificated securities for the benefit of (i) the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), and (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), under the New York UCC upon delivery to the Collateral Trustee in the State of New York of the certificates representing the Pledged Securities in registered form, indorsed in blank by an effective indorsement or accompanied by undated stock powers with respect thereto duly indorsed in blank by an effective indorsement. Assuming that neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of the Secured Parties has notice of any adverse claim with respect to the Pledged Securities, the Collateral Trustee will acquire the security interest in the Pledged Securities free of any adverse claim.
9. Under the New York UCC, the provisions of the Control Agreement are effective to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of (i) the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), and (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), in the Borrower’s rights in the Collateral Account.
10. The Collateral Trustee will have a perfected security interest for the benefit of (i) the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), and (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), in the U.S. patents of the Borrower or of GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. listed on Schedule A to the Patent Security Agreement upon (a) the taking of all actions required under the laws of the State of Delaware of the Borrower or GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. with respect to the perfection of a security interest in such intangible property and (b) the timely filing and recording of the Patent Security Agreement, including Schedule A thereto, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, in the manner specified by such office and in accordance with its rules and regulations, for each such registration that has been properly and accurately identified therein.
11. The Collateral Trustee will have a perfected security interest for the benefit of (i) the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), and (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), in the U.S. trademarks of the Borrower or of OnStar, LLC listed on Schedule A to the Trademark Security Agreement upon (a) the taking of all actions required under the laws of the State of Delaware of the Borrower or OnStar, LLC with respect to the perfection of a security interest in such intangible property and (b) the timely filing and recording of the Trademark Security Agreement, including Schedule A thereto, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, in the manner specified by such office and in accordance with its rules and regulations, for each such registration that has been properly and accurately identified therein.
12. Although we express no opinion as to the law of the State of Delaware, we have reviewed Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware as set forth in the Commerce Clearing House, Inc. Secured Transactions Guide as supplemented
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
October 27, 2010
Page 5
through September 14, 2010 (the “Delaware UCC”) and, based solely on such review, we advise you that (a) the Delaware Financing Statements are in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Filing Office and (b) upon the filing of the Delaware Financing Statements in the Delaware Filing Office, the Collateral Trustee will have a perfected security interest for the benefit of (i) the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), and (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) in that portion of the Security Agreement Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by filing a financing statement in the Delaware Filing Office.
Our opinions are subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth in Annex A to this opinion and do not cover or otherwise address any law or legal issue which is identified in Annex B to this opinion. Except as set forth in the following sentences of this paragraph, our advice on every legal issue addressed in this opinion is based exclusively on the laws of the State of New York and such federal law of the United States which, in our experience, are normally applicable to general business entities not engaged in regulated business activities and to transactions of the type contemplated in the Loan Documents. In addition, for purposes of the opinion in opinion paragraph numbered 1 above, we have relied exclusively upon the Good Standing Certificates (as defined below), and such opinion is not intended to provide any conclusion or assurance beyond that conveyed by such certificates. For purposes of our opinions in opinion paragraph numbered 2, we have relied exclusively on our review of the relevant Governing Documents (as defined below), the Resolutions (as defined below) and the DGCL or the DLLCA, in each case, relating solely to corporate or limited liability company power and authorization of corporate or limited liability company actions by boards of directors, boards of managers or a sole member, as applicable. The opinion in the second sentence of opinion paragraph numbered 5 above is based exclusively on the DGCL and the DLLCA. The opinions in opinion paragraph numbered 12 above with respect to the Delaware UCC are based on our review of the Commerce Clearing House, Inc. Secured Transactions Guide as supplemented through September 14, 2010 (the “Guide”) and on the assumption that such statutory provisions are given the same interpretation and application in such state as the corresponding provisions in the New York UCC are given in the State of New York. We have not reviewed any judicial decisions of courts sitting in the State of Delaware or, except for those contained in the Guide, any rules regulations, guidelines, releases or interpretations concerning the Delaware UCC. The term “Good Standing Certificates” shall mean those documents set forth on Annex D. The term “Governing Documents” shall mean the organizational documents of the Loan Parties attached to the Certificates of the Loan Parties delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The term “Resolutions” shall mean those meeting minutes or actions by unanimous written consent of the board of directors, the board of managers or the sole members, as applicable, of the Loan Parties attached to the Certificates of the Loan Parties delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
We have not undertaken any research for purposes of determining whether the Loan Parties or any of the transactions which may occur in connection with the Loan Documents are subject to any law or other governmental requirement otherwise within the scope of this opinion other than to those laws and requirements which in our experience would generally be recognized as applicable, and none of our opinions covers any such law or other requirement. We have relied, without any independent verification upon: (i) factual information contained in certificates obtained from governmental authorities; (ii) factual information represented to be true in the Loan Documents; (iii) factual information provided to us by the Loan Parties and their respective directors, officers and other representatives; and (iv) factual information we have obtained from such other sources as we have deemed reasonable. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such representation has been undertaken by us.

Our advice on each legal issue addressed in this opinion represents our opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court of the jurisdiction upon whose law our opinion on that issue is based. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case, and this opinion is not intended to guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute which may arise in the future.
This opinion speaks as of the time of its delivery on the date it bears. We do not assume any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any fact about which we did not have actual knowledge at that time, by reason of any change subsequent to that time in any law covered by any of our opinions, or for any other reason.
You may rely upon this opinion only for the purpose served by the provision in the Credit Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this opinion in response to which it has been delivered. Without our written consent: (i) no Person other than you (and your permitted assignees under the Credit Agreement) may rely on this opinion for any purpose; (ii) this opinion may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement, prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this opinion may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication which might encourage reliance upon this opinion by any Person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this opinion may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging reliance upon this opinion by any Person or for any purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph.

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
Each of our opinions in this opinion is subject to:
1. the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws, including (a) the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (including matters of turn-over, automatic stay, avoiding powers, fraudulent transfer, preference, discharge, conversion of a non-recourse obligation into a recourse claim, limitations on ipso facto and anti-assignment clauses and the coverage of pre-petition security agreements applicable to property acquired after a petition is filed); (b) all other Federal and state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement and assignment for the benefit of creditors laws that affect the rights of creditors generally or that have reference to or affect only creditors of specific types of debtors; (c) state fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws; and (d) judicially developed doctrines in this area, such as substantive consolidation of entities, recharacterization and equitable subordination;
2. the effect of general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity, including principles (a) governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, which generally place the award of such remedies, subject to certain guidelines, in the discretion of the court to which application for such relief is made; (b) affording equitable defenses (e.g., waiver, laches and estoppel) against a party seeking enforcement; (c) requiring good faith and fair dealing in the performance and enforcement of a contract by the party seeking its enforcement; (d) requiring reasonableness in the performance and enforcement of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement of the contract; (e) requiring consideration of the materiality of (i) a breach and (ii) the consequences of the breach to the party seeking enforcement; (f) requiring consideration of the impracticability or impossibility of performance at the time of attempted enforcement; and (g) affording defenses based upon the unconscionability of the enforcing party’s conduct after the parties have entered into the contract;

4. the qualification that we express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents (i) which requires further agreement by the parties or expressly or impliedly permits any party to take discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable, or capricious, or would violate any implied covenant of good faith or would be commercially unreasonable, whether or not such action is permitted according to the specific terms of any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) regarding remedies available to any party for violations or breaches which are determined by a court to be nonmaterial or without substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the obligor to perform its material obligations thereunder;
5. the qualification that any requirement in any of the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived or amended in writing may not be binding or enforceable to the extent that a non-executory or oral agreement has been created modifying any provision in the Loan Documents or an implied agreement by trade practice, custom or course of conduct or dealing has been created allowing a waiver or modifying any such Loan Document;

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
6. the qualification as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions in the Loan Documents specifying certain remedies or that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, and/or that the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others;

8. the effect of any provision of the Loan Documents which is intended to establish any standard other than a standard set forth in the New York UCC as the measure of the performance by any party thereto of such party’s obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness or care or of the fulfillment of the duties imposed on any secured party with respect to the maintenance, disposition or redemption of Collateral, accounting for surplus proceeds of Collateral or accepting Collateral in discharge of liabilities;
9. the effect of any provision of the Loan Documents insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from a Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance with applicable law;
10. the effect of any provision of the Loan Documents imposing penalties or forfeitures;

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
York (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note such court’s discretion to transfer an action from one Federal court to another under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a);
13. the qualifications that, to the extent that any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and the choice of New York forum provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402 and N.Y. CPLR 327(b) and (ii) such enforceability may be limited by public policy considerations in a jurisdiction, other than the courts of the State of New York, in which enforcement of such provisions, or of a judgment upon an agreement containing such provisions, is sought;
14. the qualification that we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for the in the Loan Documents which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any Federal or state securities law, rule or regulation);
15. the qualification that we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any section of the Loan Documents to the extent it purports to waive any objection a Person may have that a suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum or a forum lacking subject matter jurisdiction; and
16. the qualification that the choice of New York law on the basis of Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law is only relevant insofar as litigation is brought to enforce the Loan Documents in the courts of the State of New York, and we have assumed that there is a basis for jurisdiction in such courts.
None of the opinions in this opinion covers or otherwise addresses any of the following types of provisions which may be contained in the Loan Documents:
1. waivers of (a) legal or equitable defenses, (b) rights to damages, (c) rights to counter claim or set off, (d) statutes of limitations, (e) rights to notice, (f) the benefits of statutory, regulatory, or constitutional rights, unless and to the extent the statute, regulation, or constitution explicitly allows waiver, (g) broadly or vaguely stated rights, and (h) other benefits to the extent they cannot be waived under applicable law;
2. provisions providing for forfeitures or the recovery of amounts deemed to constitute penalties, or for liquidated damages, acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value, late charges, prepayment charges, and increased interest rates upon default;
3. time-is-of-the-essence clauses and other provisions that provide a time limitation after which a remedy may not be enforced;
4. provisions restricting access to courts; waiver of service of process requirements which would otherwise be applicable; and provisions otherwise purporting to affect the jurisdiction and venue of courts;
5. provisions purporting to limit rights of third parties who have not consented thereto or purporting to grant rights to third parties;
6. provisions or agreements regarding proxies, shareholders agreements, shareholder voting rights, voting trusts, and the like;
4
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
7. confidentiality and non-competition agreements;
8. provisions requiring any Loan Party to perform its obligations under, or to cause any other Person to perform its obligations under, or stating that any action will be taken as provided in or in accordance with, any agreement or other document that is not a Loan Document;
9. provisions purporting to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of rights under any Loan Document to the extent such prohibition, restriction or condition is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code;
10. provisions purporting to amend or modify an agreement without strictly complying with applicable provisions of such agreement; and
11. provisions that require a Person to cause or prohibit action by an affiliate of such Person, other than a Subsidiary of such Person.
Our opinions set forth in opinion paragraphs numbered 7-12 above are subject to the following additional qualifications:
1. we express no opinion with respect to (a) the right, title or interest of any Loan Party in or to any property, (b) except as expressly set forth in opinion paragraphs numbered 7-12 above, the creation or perfection of any such security interests or liens, (c) except for the opinion given in the last sentence of opinion paragraph numbered 8, the priority of any security interests or liens, (d) any law other than Article 9 of the New York UCC and, to the extent applicable, Article 8 of the New York UCC, the Delaware UCC (each such Uniform Commercial Code being referred to as a “Relevant UCC” and each such State being referred to as a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), (e) the effect on the opinions expressed in opinion paragraphs numbered 7-12 above of any law other than the New York UCC or any other Relevant UCC, or (f) under Article 9 of the New York UCC or any other Relevant UCC, what law governs the perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection of the security interest of the Collateral Trustee in any particular item or items of the Collateral;
2. we have assumed (a) that the Personal Property Collateral Documents and each of the Delaware Financing Statements reasonably identifies the Collateral purported to be covered thereby and (b) the accuracy of all information set forth in the Delaware Financing Statements;
3. we have assumed that (a) the Borrower and each of the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors has rights in the Collateral existing on the date hereof and will have rights in property which becomes Collateral after the date hereof, or the power to transfer rights in the Collateral (within the meaning of Section 9-203 of the New York UCC and other Relevant UCC) in which it has granted security interests pursuant to the Personal Property Collateral Documents and (b) “value” (as defined in Section 1-201(44) of the New York UCC) has been given by the Lenders to the Loan Parties for the security interests and other rights in the Collateral (within the meaning of Section 9-203 of the New York UCC and each other Relevant UCC);
4. we advise you that with respect to that portion of the UCC Collateral in which the Secured Party has been granted a security interest by more than one agreement, a court may limit the Secured Party’s right to choose among the rights and remedies to which it may be entitled;
5. we express no opinion with respect to the security interest of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties except to the extent that the Collateral Trustee has been or will be duly appointed as agent for such persons;
5
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
6. we have assumed that the Collateral Account is either (i) a “deposit account” (as defined in the New York UCC) and that Citibank, N.A. is an organization that is engaged in the business of banking, or (ii) a “securities account” (as defined in the New York UCC) and that Citibank, N.A., in the ordinary course of its business maintains securities accounts for customers and is acting in that capacity;
7. we express no opinion with respect to any property or assets now or hereafter credited to a securities account except to the extent that (i) a “securities entitlement” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) has been created and (ii) such asset is a “financial asset” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC). Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to the nature or extent of the securities intermediary’s rights in, or title to, the securities or other financial assets underlying any “security entitlement” now or hereafter credited to a securities account. We note that to the extent the securities intermediary maintains any financial asset in a “clearing corporation” (as defined in Section 8-102(5) of the New York UCC), pursuant to Section 8-111 of the New York UCC, the rules of such clearing corporation may affect the rights of the securities intermediary;
8. to the extent our opinion in opinion paragraph numbered 8 above relates to securities purportedly represented by a certificate and issued by an issuer not organized under the laws of one of the States of the United States, such securities are “certificated securities” within the meaning of Section 8-102(4) of the New York UCC;
9. in addition to expressing no opinion with respect to the Mortgages, we have assumed that none of the Collateral consists of or will consist of consumer goods, farm products, commercial tort claims, timber to be cut or as-extracted collateral;
10. we express no opinion as to any part of the Collateral not subject to Article 9 or, to the extent applicable, Article 8 of the New York UCC or the Relevant UCC;
11. we express no opinion as to any interest in or claim in or under policies of insurance, except as provided in Section 9-315 of the New York UCC or, if applicable, another Relevant UCC with respect to insurance proceeds payable by the reason of loss or damage to Collateral;
12. we express no opinion and render no advice with respect to the perfection of any security interest in (x) any Collateral of a type represented by a certificate of title and (y) any Collateral consisting of money;
13. we express no opinion and render no advice with respect to the effect of Section 9-315(a)(2) of the New York UCC with respect to any proceeds of Collateral that are not identifiable;
14. we express no opinion and render no advice with respect to the perfection of any security interest whose priority is subject to Section 9-334 of the New York UCC;
15. we express no opinion with respect to the nature or extent of the obligations secured by the security interest;
16. in the case of property which becomes Collateral after the date hereof, Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case;
6
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT]
17. we express no opinion and render no advice with respect to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (relating to certain costs and expenses of a trustee in preserving or disposing of collateral);
18. we call to your attention that pursuant to Section 9-340 of the New York UCC, a bank with which a deposit account is maintained may continue to exercise any right of recoupment or set-off against a secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit account; and
19. we call to your attention that under the New York UCC and each other Relevant UCC, events occurring subsequent to the date hereof or the passage of time may affect any security interest subject to such UCC including, but not limited to, factors of the type identified in: Section 9-315 with respect to proceeds; Section 9-507 with respect to changes in name; Section 9-316 with respect to changes in the location of the Collateral and changes in the location of a Loan Party, in each case, to the extent the same was relevant to the initial perfecting of the applicable security interest; Section 9-508 with respect to new debtors becoming bound as a debtor by a security agreement entered into by another Person; Section 9-339 with respect to subordination agreements; Section 9-515 with respect to continuation statements; Sections 9-320, 9-321, 9-331 and 9-332 with respect to subsequent purchasers or transferees of the Collateral; and Sections 9-335 and 9-336 with respect to goods which are, or may become, accessions or commingled goods. In addition, actions taken by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party (e.g., releasing or assigning the security interest, delivering possession of the Collateral to a debtor or another Person or voluntarily subordinating a security interest) may affect any security interest subject to the New York UCC or another Relevant UCC.
