96338393_5
(a) Upon the Effective Date (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan A
referenced in the amended Credit Agreement set forth as Annex I hereto in excess of the principal
amount of the Term Loan A outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the
Credit Agreement, in connection with the increase of the Term Loan A and the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments hereunder, each party hereto agrees (i) that the requisite assignments
shall be deemed to be made in such amounts among the Lenders and the Departing Lenders, and
from each Lender and Departing Lender to each other applicable Lender, with the same force and
effect as if such assignments were evidenced by an Assignment Agreement as required under the
Credit Agreement and (ii) to any adjustments to be made to the Register to effectuate such
reallocations and assignments. In connection therewith, (x) any reallocation among the
applicable Lenders and the Departing Lenders resulting from the Facility Adjustments, (y) the

Date are held by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitment Percentages and Term Loan A Commitment Percentages set forth on such revised
Appendix A to the Credit Agreement (the increase of the facilities provided in the Credit
Agreement, and the assignments, adjustments and reallocations set forth in this sentence,

11.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or this Amendment, no other
documents or instruments, including any Assignment Agreement, shall be executed in connection
with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall
be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if
evidenced by an Assignment Agreement. In connection with the Facility Adjustments and any
prepayment, repayment or reallocation of Loans on the Effective Date as provided herein, the
Lenders agree that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to
Section 3.1(c) of the Credit Agreement.

Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees that (i) the Facility Adjustments provided by this
Amendment shall each be effective upon the Effective Date immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the conditions to effectiveness
of the Facility Adjustments and the amendments set forth in Section 2 above are limited to the
conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Effective Date as set forth below and
(iii) no increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Term Loan A provided herein
4
96338393_5
shall constitute an incurrence of or increase to the facilities provided under Section 2.1(d) of the
Existing Credit Agreement or of the Credit Agreement.
(d) To the extent not otherwise a Lender prior to the date of this Amendment, the
Lenders providing any portion of the facilities under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the
“Joining Lenders”) are parties to this Amendment for the purposes of agreeing to the Credit
Agreement, becoming party thereto and becoming bound by the provisions thereof in the capacity
of a Lender and providing their portion of the Term Loan A and/or Revolving Loans.

(a) For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the

Restricted Payments, Section 2.1(d) and Section 8.7), such calculations shall be made on a pro forma
basis as follows:

the date of a transaction with respect to which pro forma compliance is required), but in the case
of measurement in connection with any event hereunder (and not for periodic compliance with
the financial covenants under Section 8.7), giving pro forma effect to all Indebtedness to be
incurred or repaid on such date (whether in connection with a Specified Transaction, a Permitted
Restricted Payment, an increase of the Aggregate Commitments or the addition of an additional
Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(d), or any other transaction for which pro forma compliance is
being measured) and in the case of any such computation in connection with any increase or
additional Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(d) the entire amount of such increase and/or
additional Term Loan shall be assumed to be drawn;
(ii) Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated for the period of four Fiscal Quarters
most recently ended for which financial statements have been (or in the case of any periodic
financial covenant compliance, are being) delivered, but giving pro forma effect to the Specified
Transaction for which such measurement is being made (if any) and all other Specified
Transactions (if any) that have occurred (A) during the period in respect of which such
calculations are required to be made or (B) subsequent to such period and prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which the pro forma calculation of either such ratio is being
made (in the case of such calculation being made for a Specified Transaction, Permitted
Restricted Payment, increase in the Aggregate Commitments or the addition of an additional
Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(d) or other event, and not for periodic covenant compliance
pursuant to Section 8.7), in each case by assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any
increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used
therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the period of
39
96344373_5
four Fiscal Quarters in respect of which such calculation of Consolidated EBITDA is required to
be made; and
(iii) In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption
or guarantees) or repays (including by repurchase, redemption, repayment, retirement or
extinguishment) any Indebtedness in connection with any Specified Transaction, Permitted
Restricted Payment or an increase in the Aggregate Commitments or the addition of an additional
Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (or any other transaction for which pro forma compliance
is being measured) (A) during the period in respect of which such calculations are required to be
made or (B) subsequent to the end of such period and prior to or simultaneously with the event
for which the pro forma calculation of either such ratio is being made, then in each such case the
Consolidated Interest Charges component of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall
be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness (and any
other incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness for which pro forma calculations have been
required pursuant to this provision during such relevant period), to the extent required, by
providing that (A) any such Indebtedness incurred or assumed in connection with such
transaction shall be deemed to have been incurred as of the first day of the applicable period, and
if such Indebtedness has a floating or formula rate of interest, shall have an implied rate of
interest for the applicable period for purposes of this provision determined by utilizing the rate
which is or would be in effect with respect to such Indebtedness as at the relevant date of
determination and (B) any Indebtedness repaid by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including any
Person acquired) in connection with such transaction shall be deemed to have been so repaid on
the first day of the applicable period.
(b) Whenever any financial covenant is to be computed on a pro forma basis hereunder, the
pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by an Authorized Officer and in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, subject, in the case of any Permitted Acquisition, to the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of financial statements or other financial data with respect to the acquired
Person or business reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including (i) the most recent
financial statements with respect to the acquired Person or business prepared by such acquired Person or
the seller thereof and (ii) to the extent available, the most recent audited and interim unaudited financial
statements with respect to the acquired Person.
(c) If at any time the Borrower has made an LCA Election to test a financial ratio test or
condition at the time of the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited
Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any of the Consolidated Net
Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any purpose under this Agreement
(including any basket, measurement, or for purposes of Section 8.7) following the relevant date of
execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and prior to the
earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that
the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without
consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such financial covenant shall be required to be
satisfied both (x) on a pro forma basis hereunder assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other
transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness and
assuming any cash intended, by the anticipated sources and uses, to consummate such Limited Condition
Acquisition has so been used (and thus is not netted in calculating the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio))
have been consummated (with the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as adjusted, if such proposed Limited
Condition Acquisition will constitute a Material Acquisition, for a permitted and notified Consolidated
Net Leverage Ratio Increase to the extent permitted by Section 8.7(a) with respect to such Material
Acquisition) and (y) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and such other transactions in
connection therewith have not been consummated.

(a) Revolving Loans. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving loans (each such loan, a “Revolving
Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loan, (i) the Total
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Amounts
borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed without premium or penalty
(subject to Section 3.1(c)) during the Revolving Commitment Period. The Revolving Loans may consist
of Base Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request.
Each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and
all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans and the
Revolving Commitments shall be paid in full no later than such date.
(b) Term Loan A. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to the extent not
otherwise advanced on the Second Amendment Effective Date, each applicable Lender will make a single
advance of its respective Term Loan A Commitment Percentage of a term loan (the amounts advanced on
the Second Amendment Effective Date and on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, collectively, the
“Term Loan A”) in an amount not to exceed its Term Loan A Commitment, which Term Loan A will be
disbursed to the Borrower in Dollars in one advance on the Second Amendment Effective Date and in one
advance on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, so that the aggregate outstanding amount of the Term
Loan A and the relevant Term Loan A Commitment Percentages of the Lenders are, as of the Sixth
Amendment Effective Date, as set forth on Appendix A to the Sixth Amendment. The Term Loan A may
consist of Base Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may
request. The obligation of the Lenders to advance a portion of the Term Loan A on the Second
Amendment Effective Date or the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, are several, and not
joint, and upon the advance of the Term Loan A on the Second Amendment Effective Date or the Sixth
Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, the Term Loan A Commitment of each Lender shall be
terminated. Amounts repaid on the Term Loan A may not be reborrowed.

shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.
(iii) Notice of receipt of each Funding Notice in respect of each Revolving Loan or
Term Loan, together with the amount of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage or
Term Loan Commitment Percentage thereof, respectively, if any, together with the applicable
interest rate, shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by

Revolving Loan or its Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the requested Term Loan available

LCA Election, to the extent agreed by the lenders providing such increase or
additional Term Loan, such compliance may be measured at the time of the
execution and delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited
Condition Acquisition so long as no Event of Default under any of Sections
9.1(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or as a

additional Term Loan the proceeds of which are to be used to finance a Limited
Condition Acquisition with respect to which the Borrower has made an LCA

Term Loan, such compliance may be measured at the time of the execution and
delivery of the purchase agreement related to such Limited Condition Acquisition
(and Section 1.3(c) shall then apply);

Revolving Commitment or Term Loan A Commitment or provide any portion of

other then existing Term Loan; and
(L) the other terms and documentation in respect of any additional
Term Loan, to the extent not consistent with the Term Loan A, will be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and this Agreement
45
96344373_5
shall be amended in connection with the effectuation of such additional Term
Loan by an amendment among the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the
Lenders providing such additional Term Loan (without the need to obtain the
consent of any Lender or the Issuing Bank other than the Lenders providing such
additional Term Loans), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to include (in addition to the Applicable
Margin, maturity date and scheduled amortization) such terms as are customary
for a term loan commitment, including mandatory prepayments, assignments and
voting provisions; provided that the covenants, defaults and similar non-
economic provisions applicable to any additional Term Loan, taken as a whole,
(i) shall be no more restrictive than the corresponding terms set forth in the then
existing Credit Documents and (ii) shall not contravene any of the terms of the
then existing Credit Documents.
(e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or
11.4 to the contrary.
Section 2.2 Swingline Loans.
(a) Swingline Loans Commitments. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans
to the Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swingline Sublimit; provided, that
after giving effect to the making of any Swingline Loan, in no event shall (i) the Total Revolving
Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of
any Lender exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this
Section 2.2 may be repaid and reborrowed during the Revolving Commitment Period. The Swingline
Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and all
Swingline Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swingline Loans and the
Revolving Commitments shall be paid in full no later than such date.
(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Swingline Loans.
(i) Subject to clause (vi) below, whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline
Lender make a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly
executed and completed Funding Notice (which shall specify, among other things, the amount to
be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, unless otherwise agreed by the Swingline
Lender) no later than 11:00 a.m. on the proposed Credit Date.
(ii) The Swingline Lender shall make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to
the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer
of same day funds in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Except as provided
herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loans available to the Borrower
on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the
proceeds of all such Swingline Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swingline
Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Principal
Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by
the Borrower.
(iii) With respect to any Swingline Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11, the Swingline Lender may at any time in its sole and
46
96344373_5
absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), no later
than 11:00 a.m. on the day of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a
Funding Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on such Credit
Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline
Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swingline Lender requests
Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the
proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swingline Lender shall be
immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender (and not to the
Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swingline Loans and (2)
on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a
Revolving Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the
Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans and
shall no longer be due under the Swingline Note of the Swingline Lender but shall instead
constitute part of the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to the Borrower and shall
be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender. The
Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender to charge the
Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender (up to the amount
available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of
the Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by
the Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swingline Lender, are
insufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swingline Loans. If any portion of any such amount
paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the
Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or
otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the
manner contemplated by Section 2.14.
(iv) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iii) in
an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any
outstanding Swingline Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment
thereof by the Swingline Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed
to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans, and
in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the applicable unpaid amount
together with accrued interest thereon. On the Business Day that notice is provided by the
Swingline Lender (or by the 11:00 a.m. on the following Business Day if such notice is provided
after 2:00 p.m.), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to the Swingline
Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same
day funds at the Principal Office of the Swingline Lender. In order to evidence such participation
each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at
the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Swingline Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make
available to the Swingline Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this
paragraph, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by the
Swingline Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as
applicable.
(v) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s
obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swingline Loans
pursuant to clause (iii) above and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any
47
96344373_5
unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Swingline Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the
business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any
Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party
thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition
that the Swingline Lender had not received prior notice from the Borrower or the Required
Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 5.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded
Swingline Loans or other unpaid Swingline Loans were not satisfied at the time such Refunded
Swingline Loans or other unpaid Swingline Loans were made; and (2) the Swingline Lender shall
not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (B) it does not in good
faith believe that all conditions under Section 5.2 to the making of such Swingline Loan have
been satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders or (C) at a time when a Defaulting Lender
exists, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the
Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s
participation in such Swingline Loan, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent.
(vi) In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swingline Loans, the Borrower and the
Swingline Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby authorized to, enter into an auto borrow
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative
Agent (the “Auto Borrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Swingline
Lender of Swingline Loans under the conditions set forth in the Auto Borrow Agreement, subject
to the conditions set forth herein. At any time an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, advances
under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be deemed Swingline Loans for all purposes hereof,
except that Borrowings of Swingline Loans under the Auto Borrow Agreement shall be made in
accordance with the Auto Borrow Agreement. For purposes of determining the Total Revolving
Outstandings at any time during which an Auto Borrow Agreement is in effect, the Outstanding
Amount of all Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be the sum of the Outstanding Amount of
Swingline Loans at such time plus the maximum amount available to be borrowed under such
Auto Borrow Agreement at such time.
Section 2.3 Issuances of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.
(a) Letters of Credit. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit;
provided that (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each
Letter of Credit shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank;
(iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender exceed such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (z) the Outstanding Amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceed
the Letter of Credit Sublimit; and (iv) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date later
than the earlier of (1) seven days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date
which is one year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing (other than
clause (iv)) the Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or
48
96344373_5
more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any
such additional period; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has
received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing
Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided further that in the event that any Lender is at such time
a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it (in its sole
discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender), including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue or extend
any Letter of Credit hereunder. The Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any
communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable
means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice no later than 1:00 p.m. at least
three Business Days or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank in any particular
instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set
forth in Section 5.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance its
standard operating procedures (including the delivery by the Borrower of such executed documents and
information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit, including any Issuer Documents, as the Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent may require). Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment
or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation
in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(e).
(c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In
determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the
Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit
with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the
Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection
with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with
any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions
or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise,
whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in
the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter
of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of
Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; and in no event shall
any of the foregoing affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the
49
00000000_5
Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered
thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing
Bank to any Credit Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3(c), the
Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Issuing Bank for any liability arising
solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order.
(d) Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In
the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall
immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the
Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is
honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount
of such honored drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless
the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. on the
date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of
such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to
make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars
equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
specified in Section 5.2, the Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are
Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly
by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing;
provided further that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the Issuing Bank
on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower
shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the
amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are
so received. Nothing in this Section 2.3(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to
make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and
all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such
Revolving Loans under this Section 2.3(d).
(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance
of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have
purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from the Issuing Bank a participation in such
Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage (with respect to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments) of the maximum
amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that the
Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.3(d), the Issuing
Bank shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of
such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage. Each Lender shall make available to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective
participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of the Issuing Bank specified in such notice,
not later than 12:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office
of such Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender
fails to make available to the Issuing Bank on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s
participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.3(e), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled
to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business
Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and
thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.3(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any
Lender to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of
50
96344373_5
Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable order. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders
pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it
under this Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in
reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall
be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other
address as such Lender may request.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for
drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by the
Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.3(e) shall be
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all
circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of
any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense (other than that such drawing has
been repaid) or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary
or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
Issuing Bank, a Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in
connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any
underlying transaction between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any
Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, or financial
condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document
by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; provided that in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of
Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the
circumstances in question, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
order.
(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of the Credit Parties under
Section 11.2, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees,
on a joint and several basis, to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including
reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Issuing Bank) which the
Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any
Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-
appealable order, or (2) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made
under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any
such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.
(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
51
96344373_5
(i) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued
or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of the
Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of
Credit for the account of the Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s
business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof
and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
Section 2.4 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.
(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the
applicable Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective pro rata shares of the Loans, it
being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other
Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor
shall any Revolving Commitment or any Term Loan Commitment, or the portion of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans or the Term Loans, of any Lender be increased or
decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
(b) Availability of Funds.
(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date
of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(c) or, in the case of a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance
with and at the time required by Section 2.1(c) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact
made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be
made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and
(B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans, plus, in either case, any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by
the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the
Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.
52
96344373_5
(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each
of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
Notices given by the Administrative Agent under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
Section 2.5 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.
(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an
account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Credit Party to such
Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect
thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error;
provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
any Lender’s Commitment or the Borrower’s obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided
further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the
recordations in the Register shall govern in the absence of demonstrable error therein.
(b) Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each (i) Lender on the Closing Date,
(ii) Person who is a permitted assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 11.5 and (iii) Person who
becomes a Lender in accordance with Section 2.1(d), in each case to the extent requested by such Person,
a Note or Notes to evidence such Person’s portion of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or Term
Loans, as applicable.
Section 2.6 Scheduled Principal Payments.
(a) Revolving Loans. The principal amount of Revolving Loans is due and payable in full on
the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b) Swingline Loans. The principal amount of each Swingline Loan is due and payable in
full on the earlier to occur of (i) the date of demand by the Swingline Lender with respect to such
Swingline Loan and (ii) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(c) Term Loan A. The principal amount of the Term Loan A shall be repaid in quarterly
principal installments equal to (i) for the first eight fiscal quarter payment dates after the Sixth
Amendment Effective Date (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2018), $3,125,000 per
quarter, (ii) for the next eight fiscal quarter payment dates, $ 4,687,500 per quarter each and (iii) for each
fiscal quarter payment date thereafter, $ 6,250,000 per quarter (in each case, as such amount may be
reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in
Section 2.11), each such payment to be made on the last Business Day of each March, June, September
and December, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9, and the final principal repayment
53
96344373_5
installment of the Term Loan A shall be repaid on the Term Loan A Maturity Date in an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan A outstanding on such date.
(d) Additional Term Loans. The principal amount of any Term Loan established after the
Sixth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(iii) shall be repaid in installments on the date
and in the amounts set forth in the documents executed and delivered by the Borrower pursuant to which
such additional Term Loan is established.
Section 2.7 Interest on Loans.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as
follows:
(i) in the case of Revolving Loans or the Term Loan A:
(A) if a Base Rate Loan (including a Base Rate Loan referencing the LIBOR
Index Rate), the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or
(B) if an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the
Applicable Margin; and
(ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, at the Swingline Rate; and
(iii) in the case of any Term Loan established pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(iii), at the
percentages per annum specified in the lender joinder agreement(s) and/or the commitment
agreement(s) whereby such Term Loan is established.
(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a
Swingline Loan, which may only be made and maintained at the Swingline Rate (unless and until
converted into a Revolving Loan pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof)), and the Interest Period
with respect to any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to
which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative
Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of
interest, then for that day (i) if such Loan is an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall become a
Base Rate Loan and (ii) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, such Loan shall remain a Base Rate Loan.
(c) In connection with Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, there shall be no more than eight
Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate
Loan or an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation
Notice, such Loan (i) if outstanding as an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, will be automatically converted
into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan, and (ii) if
outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate
Loan. In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan in
the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. on each Interest Rate
Determination Date and each Index Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the
interest rate that shall apply to each of the LIBOR Loans for which an interest rate is then being
54
96344373_5
determined (and for the applicable Interest Period in the case of Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans) and shall
promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each
Lender.
(d) Interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be computed on the basis of (i) for
interest at the Base Rate (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the LIBOR Index Rate),
a year of three hundred sixty-five or three hundred sixty-six days, as the case may be, and (ii) for all other
computations of fees and interest, a year of three hundred sixty days, in each case for the actual number of
days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the
making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a
Base Rate Loan being converted from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such
Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date
of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with
respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of
such Base Rate Loan to such Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided
that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.
(e) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the
Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net
Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper
calculation of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period,
the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an
actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or
other Debtor Relief Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for
such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This subsection (e) shall
not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under any other
provision of this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations.
(f) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis
and shall be payable in arrears (i) on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon
any prepayment of that Loan (other than a voluntary prepayment of a Revolving Loan or Term Loan
which interest shall be payable in accordance with clause (i) above), to the extent accrued on the amount
being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity.
(g) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under
any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in
respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date
such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the
date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest
otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) thereafter, a rate which is the lesser of (y) two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest
otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (z) the
Highest Lawful Rate.
(h) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7(g) shall be computed on the basis of a year of
three hundred sixty days, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and
shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a
Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of
55
96344373_5
interest pursuant to Section 2.7(g), the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest
received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but
excluding the date on which the Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including
any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would
have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect
of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In
the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by the Lenders for all or any portion of such
honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by
it under Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing
so reimbursed by the Lenders for the period from the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed
by the Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by
the Borrower.
Section 2.8 Conversion/Continuation.
(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or
would result therefrom, the Borrower shall have the option:
(i) to convert all or part of any Loan from one Type of Loan to another Type of
Loan at any time in an amount equal to (A) in the case of any conversion to Adjusted LIBOR
Rate Loans, $3,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount and (B) in
the case of any conversion to Base Rate Loans, $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in
excess of that amount; provided that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan may only be converted on
the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan unless the
Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 3.1(c) in connection with any such conversion;
or
(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Adjusted LIBOR
Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan as an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan.
(b) The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative
Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed
Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three
Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date (in the case of conversion to, or
continuation of, an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a
Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans
(or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate
Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance
therewith.
Section 2.9 Default Rate of Interest.
(a) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
(b) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Credit Party under any
Credit Document is not paid when due (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods), whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then at the request of the Required Lenders, such amount
56
96344373_5
shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) or Section 9.1(g), the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Laws.
(d) During the continuance of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default under
Section 9.1(f) or Section 9.1(g), the Borrower shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, pay interest
on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
(e) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest)
shall be due and payable upon demand.
(f) In the case of any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan, upon the expiration of the Interest Period
in effect at the time the Default Rate of interest is effective, each such Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan shall
thereupon become a Base Rate Loan and shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate then in effect for
Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.9
is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default
or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or
any Lender.
Section 2.10 Fees.
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee (the
“Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin times the actual daily amount by which the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceeds the Total Revolving Outstandings, subject to adjustments as
provided in Section 2.16. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Revolving
Commitment Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 5 is not
met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on
the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in
arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Margin was in effect. For purposes hereof, Swingline Loans shall not be counted
toward or be considered as usage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or included in the
determination of “Total Revolving Outstandings” for purposes of computation thereof.
(b) Letter of Credit Fees.
(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, a fee for
each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin multiplied by the daily maximum amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”). For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4(h). The Letter of Credit Fee
shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
57
96344373_5
date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the expiration date thereof and
thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the
daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) and (g), all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate, and during the continuance of an Event of Default other
than an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) or (g), then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(ii) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Bank.
The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee with
respect to each Letter of Credit at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, on a quarterly basis in arrears.
Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion
thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on its expiration date and thereafter on demand. For purposes
of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of
such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4(h). In addition, the
Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the
Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to Regions Capital Markets, a division of Regions
Bank, and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times
specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever, except to the extent set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.11 Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments.
(i) Any time and from time to time, the Loans may be repaid in whole or in part
without premium or penalty (subject to Section 3.1(c)):
(A) with respect to Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans referencing
the LIBOR Index Rate), the Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day
in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples
of $100,000 in excess of that amount;
(B) with respect to Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay
any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part (together with any amounts due
pursuant to Section 3.1(c)) in an aggregate minimum amount of $3,000,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and
(C) with respect to Swingline Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such
Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in any amount;
(ii) All such prepayments shall be made:
58
96344373_5
(A) upon written or telephonic notice on the date of prepayment in the case
of Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans; and
(B) upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice
in the case of Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans;
in each case given to the Administrative Agent, or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, by
11:00 a.m. on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to the
Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original
notice of a prepayment to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the
Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein.
Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.12.
(b) Voluntary Commitment Reductions.
(i) The Borrower may, from time to time upon not less than three Business Days’
prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which
original written or telephonic notice the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by
telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate
in whole or permanently reduce in part the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (ratably among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective commitment percentage thereof); provided that
(A) any such partial reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $3,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount,
(B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after
giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the aggregate Total
Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (C) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit
and/or the Swingline Sublimit exceed the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the Swingline Sublimit, as applicable, shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess.
(ii) The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date
(which shall be a Business Day and at least three Business Days after the date of such notice) of
such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or
reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the
Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately to
its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof; provided that a notice of termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds of the issuance of other
Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to 3:00
p.m. on the specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied (it being
understood that the failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations
under Section 3.1(c)).
(c) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Revolving Commitments. If at any time (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings
shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the Outstanding Amount of Letter of
Credit Obligations shall exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (iii) the Outstanding Amount of
Swingline Loans shall exceed the Swingline Sublimit, the Borrower shall prepay Loans and/or
59
96344373_5
Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess
promptly on the date the Borrower becomes aware of the existence of such excess; provided that,
except with respect to clause (ii), Letter of Credit Obligations will not be Cash Collateralized
hereunder until the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been paid in full.
(ii) Asset Sales and Involuntary Dispositions. Prepayment will be made on the
Obligations on the Business Day following receipt of Net Cash Proceeds required to be prepaid
pursuant to the provisions hereof in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net
Cash Proceeds received in excess of $10,000,000 in any Fiscal Year from any Asset Sale or
Involuntary Disposition by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, with
respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized from an Asset Sale or Involuntary Disposition
described in this Section 2.11(c)(ii), at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Asset Sale or Involuntary Disposition,
as applicable), and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower or such Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
operating assets so long as within 180 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, such
purchase shall have been consummated (as certified by the Borrower in writing to the
Administrative Agent); and provided further, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to
such definitive agreement or so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the
Loans as set forth in this Section 2.11(c)(ii).
(iii) Debt Transactions. Prepayment will be made on the Obligations in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Transactions on
the Business Day following receipt thereof.
Section 2.12 Application of Prepayments. Within each Loan, prepayments will be applied
first to Base Rate Loans, then to LIBOR Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. In addition:
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Voluntary prepayments will be applied as specified by the
Borrower; provided that if the Borrower fails to specify how such prepayments will be applied, such
prepayments will be applied in accordance with clause (b)(ii) below.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. Mandatory prepayments will be applied as follows:
(i) Mandatory prepayments in respect of the Revolving Commitments under Section
2.11(c)(i) above shall be applied to the respective Revolving Obligations as appropriate but
without a permanent reduction thereof.
(ii) Mandatory prepayments in respect of Asset Sales and Involuntary Dispositions
under Section 2.11(c)(ii) above and Debt Transactions under Section 2.11(c)(iii) shall be applied
as follows: first, ratably to the Term Loans, until paid in full, and then to the Revolving
Obligations without a permanent reduction thereof. Mandatory prepayments with respect to each
of the Term Loans will be applied to remaining principal installments thereunder in direct order
of maturity to the next four quarterly principal installments and, thereafter, on a pro rata basis
across the remaining principal installments thereof (including the final payment thereof on the
Term Loan A Maturity Date or other applicable maturity date with respect to any additional Term
Loan).
(c) Prepayments on the Obligations will be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective interests therein (except for Defaulting Lenders where their
share will be applied as provided in Section 2.16(a)(ii) hereof).
60
96344373_5
Section 2.13 General Provisions Regarding Payments.
(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder
or under any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without
defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition. The Administrative
Agent shall, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, debit a deposit account of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries held with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and
designated for such purpose by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in order to cause timely payment to be
made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest and fees due hereunder or under any other
Credit Document (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to debit a deposit account of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries held with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in order to
cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest and fees due
hereunder or any other Credit Document (including because insufficient funds are available in its
accounts for that purpose), payments hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall be delivered
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due at the
Principal Office of the Administrative Agent or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated by the Administrative Agent (or at such other location as may be designated in writing
by the Administrative Agent from time to time); for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds
received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid
by the Borrower on the next Business Day.
(c) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary
repayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal
amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any
Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the
payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as
such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable pro rata share of all payments and
prepayments of principal and interest due to such Lender hereunder, together with all other amounts due
with respect thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the
Administrative Agent.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice
is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its
pro rata share of any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in
apportioning payments received thereafter.
(f) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the
computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Commitment Fee hereunder, but such payment
shall be deemed to have been made on the date therefor for all other purposes hereunder.
(g) The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, deem any payment by or on
behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. to be a
non-conforming payment. Any such non-conforming payment shall not be deemed to have been received
by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the
applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the
61
96344373_5
Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any
non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the
terms of Section 9.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming
payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the
date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate (unless
otherwise provided by the Required Lenders) from the date such amount was due and payable until the
date such amount is paid in full.
Section 2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro
rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing
them; provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
(including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any
amounts applied by the Swingline Lender to outstanding Swingline Loans, (C) any amounts
applied to Letter of Credit Obligations by the Issuing Bank or Swingline Loans by the Swingline
Lender, as appropriate, from Cash Collateral provided under Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, or (D)
any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation
in any of its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations, Swingline Loans or other
obligations hereunder to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall apply).
Each of the Credit Parties consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.15 Cash Collateral.
(a) Existence of Defaulting Lender. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender,
within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in an amount sufficient to cover the applicable
Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the
Defaulting Lender).
(b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting
Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing
Bank, and agrees to maintain, a perfected first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as
62
96344373_5
security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit
Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash
Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an
amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the
Defaulting Lender).
(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be
applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter
of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest
accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application
of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof)
provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash
Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure
(including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the
determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral;
provided that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during
the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section
2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.3) but shall be released upon the cure,
termination or waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall
not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted
as set forth in Section 11.4(a)(iii).
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amount (other than fees which any Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive pursuant to
Section 2.16(a)(iii)) received by any Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise, and including any
amounts made available to any Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.3), shall
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15;
fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the
funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so
63
96344373_5
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future
funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the
Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15; sixth, to
the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a
result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of
Credit Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share and (y) such Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions
set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the
Loans of, and Letter of Credit Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata
basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Borrowings owed
to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in
Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with their Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to
pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section
2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to (and the underlying obligations satisfied to the extent of such
payment) and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees.
(A) Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment
Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower
shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent
allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of
Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.
(C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any
Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-
Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Letter of Credit Fee otherwise payable to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of
Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to
clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such Letter of Credit Fee
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s
Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the
remaining amount of any such Letter of Credit Fee.
(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of
such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans shall
64
96344373_5
be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at
the time of such reallocation and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.22, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender
arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such
reallocation.
(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in
clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice
to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in
an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize
the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in
such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect
to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of
outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit
and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued
or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and
provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
(i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will
have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not
be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no
Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 2.17 Removal or Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.2 and such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in
accordance with Section 3.4, (b) any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 and such Lender
has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.4, (c) any
Lender gives notice of an inability to fund LIBOR Loans under Section 3.1(b), (d) any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, or (e) any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent (including by way of
a failure to respond in writing to a proposed amendment, consent or waiver by the date and time specified
by the Administrative Agent) to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or
termination hereunder or with respect to any Credit Document that has been approved by the Required
Lenders, then, in each case described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (e), the Borrower may, at its
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
65
96344373_5
consents required by, Section 11.5) all of its interests, rights (other than its rights under Section 3.2,
Section 3.3 and Section 11.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to
an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if
any) specified in Section 11.5;
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Borrowings, as applicable, accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.1(c))
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3, such assignment will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s
failure to consent to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination,
the successor replacement Lender shall have consented to the proposed amendment, consent,
change, waiver, discharge or termination.
Each Lender agrees that in the event it, or its interests in the Loans and obligations hereunder, shall
become subject to the replacement and removal provisions of this Section, it will cooperate with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to give effect to the provisions hereof, including execution and
delivery of an Assignment Agreement in connection therewith, but the replacement and removal
provisions of this Section shall be effective regardless of whether an Assignment Agreement shall have
been given.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.
Section 3 YIELD PROTECTION
Section 3.1 Making or Maintaining LIBOR Loans.
(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that (i) the Administrative
Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date or any Index Rate Determination Date with
respect to any LIBOR Loans, that by reasons of circumstances affecting the London interbank market
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans on
the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Index Rate, as applicable, or
(ii) the LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall give notice
(by facsimile (or such other electronic communication as may be permitted by Section 11.1(b)) or by
telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no
Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent
66
96344373_5
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the
Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower
and such Loans shall be automatically made or continued as, or converted to, as applicable, Base Rate
Loans without reference to the LIBOR Index Rate component of the Base Rate.
(b) Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender
shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the
making, maintaining or continuation of its LIBOR Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of
compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having
the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become
impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely
affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such
event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by facsimile (or
such other electronic communication as may be permitted by Section 11.1(b)) or by telephone confirmed
in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the
Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such
notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected
Lender relates to a LIBOR Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a
Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as
or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan without reference to the LIBOR Index
Rate component of the Base Rate, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding LIBOR
Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest
Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected
Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans without reference to the LIBOR Index Rate
component of the Base Rate on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBOR Loan then being requested
by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall
have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(a), to rescind such Funding Notice or
Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by facsimile (or such other electronic
communication as may be permitted by Section 11.1(b)) or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the
Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its
determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this
Section 3.1(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain
Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.
(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower
shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the
basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable out-of-pocket losses, expenses and liabilities
(including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds
borrowed by it to make or carry its Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability
sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but
excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender sustains: (i) if for any reason (other than a
default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans does not occur on a date
specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or
continuation of any Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any
67
96344373_5
prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans
occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its
Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the
Borrower.
(d) Booking of LIBOR Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Loans at, to,
or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.
(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all
amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.1 and under Section 3.2 shall be made as though such
Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans through the purchase of a
LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted
LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans and having a
maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from
an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States; provided that
each Lender may fund each of its Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing
assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.1
and under Section 3.2.
(f) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, as specified in Section 3.1(c) and the
circumstances giving rise thereto shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten Business
Days after receipt thereof.
(g) Delay in Requests. The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section for any such amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
delivers to the Borrower the certificate referenced in Section 3.1(f).
(h) LIBOR Replacement Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, but without limiting Sections 3.1(a) and (b) above, if the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent
(with in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders
(as applicable) shall have determined (which determination likewise shall be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto), that (i) the circumstances described in Section 3.1(a)(i) have arisen and
that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) the relevant administrator of LIBOR or a
Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has
made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be made available,
or used for determining interest rates for loans in the applicable currency (such specific date, the “LIBOR
Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or (iii) syndicated credit facilities among national and/or regional banks
active in leading and participating in such facilities currently being executed, or that include language
similar to that contained in this Section 3.1(h), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to
incorporate or adopt a new interest rate to replace LIBOR for determining interest rates for loans in the
applicable currency, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or
receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate rate of interest, giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated
credit facilities for such alternative rates of interest (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Replacement
68
96344373_5
Rate”), and make such other related changes to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this
Section 3.1(h) (provided, that any definition of the LIBOR Replacement Rate shall specify that in no
event shall such LIBOR Replacement Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement) and any
such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the
Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower
unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative
Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. The LIBOR
Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each
case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such
LIBOR Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent (it being understood that any such modification to application by the Administrative Agent made as
so determined shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders). For the
avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that unless and until a LIBOR Replacement Rate is
determined and an amendment to this Credit Agreement is entered into to effect the provisions of this
Section 3.1(h), if the circumstances under clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.1(h) exist, the provisions of
Section 3.1(a) shall apply.
Section 3.2 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected
in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Index Rate) or the Issuing Bank;
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection
Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or
its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient
of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate
in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case
may be, then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, the Borrower will
pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be,
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender (for
purposes hereof, may be referred to collectively as “the Lenders” or a “Lender”) determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding
69
96344373_5
company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the commitments of such Lender hereunder or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit
issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and the
circumstances giving rise thereto shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. In the absence of any such manifest error, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten Business
Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, delivers to the Borrower the certificate referenced in Section 3.2(c) and notifies the
Borrower of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 3.3 Taxes.
(a) Issuing Banks. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the term “Lender” shall include the
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and the term “Applicable Law” shall include FATCA.
(b) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other
Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by
Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable
Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum
payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or
withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the
Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Tax Indemnification.
70
96344373_5
(i) Without duplication of any obligation under Section 3.3(b), the Credit Parties
shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient and shall make payment in respect thereof
within ten Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a
payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by
the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(ii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten
Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender
(but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii)
any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.5(d)
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to
such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection
with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative
Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent
under this clause (ii).
(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit
Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of a return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable
Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two
sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is
a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender

such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal
Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals
of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,
executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-2 or Exhibit 3.3-3, IRS Form

direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-4 on behalf of each such direct
and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall
72
96344373_5
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of
any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail
to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable),
such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and
such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender
has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall the
Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have
any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the
account of such Lender. If any indemnified party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this
Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request
of the indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this
paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g)
the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund
had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require
any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that
it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
73
96344373_5
(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender,
the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under
any Credit Document.
Section 3.4 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.2, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any
Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Issuing
Bank pursuant to Section 3.3, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall (at the request of the Borrower)
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.3, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would
not subject such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.
Section 4 GUARANTY
Section 4.1 The Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as primary obligor and not as surety, the
prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance
with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory
Cash Collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same,
without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Credit Documents, Swap Agreements, Treasury
Management Agreements or other documents relating to the Obligations, (a) the obligations of each
Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount
equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor
Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law and (b) the Obligations of a
Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor.
Section 4.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1
are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, Swap Agreements or Treasury Management
Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release,
impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance
whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor
shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any
other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Section 4 until such time as the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any
74
96344373_5
one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall
remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or
compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any
Swap Agreement between any Credit Party and any Swap Provider, or any Treasury Management
Agreement between any Credit Party and any Treasury Management Bank, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to in the Credit Documents, such Swap Agreements or such Treasury Management
Agreements shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall
be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents,
any Swap Agreement between any Credit Party and any Swap Provider or any Treasury Management
Agreement between any Credit Party and any Treasury Management Bank, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to in the Credit Documents, such Swap Agreements or such Treasury Management
Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall
be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or
(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the
benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including
any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed
against any Person under any of the Credit Documents, any Swap Agreement between any Credit Party
and any Swap Provider or any Treasury Management Agreement between any Credit Party and any
Treasury Management Bank, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents,
such Swap Agreements or such Treasury Management Agreements, or against any other Person under any
other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
Section 4.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 4 shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person
in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and
each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each
Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender in connection with
such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any
claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 4.4 Certain Additional Waivers. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall
have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of
75
96344373_5
subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section
4.6.
Section 4.5 Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as
between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, the
Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be
deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2)
for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any
other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1. The Guarantors
acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the
Collateral Documents and that the Agents and the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in
accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 4.6 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in
connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the
other Guarantors as permitted under Applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Credit Documents and no
Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full and the Commitments have terminated.
Section 4.7 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 4 is
a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations
whenever arising.
Section 4.8 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be
needed from time to time by each Specified Credit Party to honor all of such Specified Credit Party’s
obligations under the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided
that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 4.8 for the maximum amount of
such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations
and undertakings under this Section 4, voidable under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and not for any
greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section
4.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed
in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or terminated, or, with respect to any
Guarantor, if earlier, such Guarantor is released from its obligations and undertakings under this Section 4
in accordance with Section 10.10(a). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 4.8
constitute, and this Section 4.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement”
for the benefit of each Specified Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the
Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 10 AGENCY
Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority.
(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Regions Bank to
act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
106
96344373_5
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(b) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Regions Bank to
act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes
the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any
Collateral Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall act on
behalf of the Secured Parties with respect to any Collateral and the Collateral Documents, and the
Collateral Agent shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent
under the Credit Documents with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Collateral Agent
in connection with any Collateral or the Collateral Documents as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in such Credit Documents included the Collateral Agent with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein or in the Collateral Documents with respect to the
Collateral Agent.
(c) The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and no Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall
have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use
of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between contracting parties.
Section 10.2 Rights as a Lender. Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in
its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such
Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and
in the other Credit Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:
(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other
Credit Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
107
96344373_5
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that
is contrary to any Credit Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any
action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may
effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of
any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person
serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at
the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in Sections 11.4 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Each Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to such Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.
(c) No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder
or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to such Agent.
Section 10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the
issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.
Section 10.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
108
96344373_5
exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-
appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of
such sub-agents.
Section 10.6 Resignation or Removal of Agents.
(a) Any Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in
the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day
as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed such
resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b) If the Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the
definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law by notice in
writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as an Agent and, in consultation with the
Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days (or such earlier day as shall be
agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless
become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as
applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by
such Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring
or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is
appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made
by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing
Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other
payments then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may
be), as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable, and the retiring or
removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 10
and Section 11.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents
109
96344373_5
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as an Agent.
Section 10.7 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender
or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent
or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of
the bookrunners, arrangers, documentation agents, syndication agents or other similar titles listed on the
cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.
Section 10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and
unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents
under Section 2.10 and Section 11.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Section 2.10 and Section 11.2).
Section 10.10 Collateral Matters.
(a) The Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Swap Provider and potential
Treasury Management Bank) and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
110
96344373_5
(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held under any Credit
Document securing the Obligations (x) upon termination of the commitments under this
Agreement and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit
as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank
shall have been made), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise
disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the
Credit Documents or consented to in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (z) subject
to Section 11.4, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;
(ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held under any Credit
Document securing the Obligations to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted
by Section 8.2(c); and
(iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted
under the Credit Documents.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required
Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority to release
or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section.
(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or
have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or
collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s or the
Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith,
nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any
failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
(c) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each
of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each holder of the Obligations
hereby agree that (i) no holder of the Obligations shall have any right individually to realize upon any of
the Collateral or to enforce this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Agreement, it being understood
and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the respective
Agents, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and
remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the
event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale
or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such
Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of
the holders of the Obligations (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual
capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose
of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral
sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
(d) No Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Treasury Management Agreement will create
(or be deemed to create) in favor of any Qualifying Swap Bank or any Qualifying Treasury Management
Bank, respectively, that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any
Collateral or of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party under the Credit Documents
except as expressly provided herein or in the other Credit Documents. By accepting the benefits of the
111
96344373_5
Collateral, each such Qualifying Swap Bank and Qualifying Treasury Management Bank shall be deemed
to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a
holder of the Obligations, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (d). Furthermore, it is
understood and agreed that the Qualifying Swap Banks and Qualifying Treasury Management Banks, in
their capacity as such, shall not have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to
any action hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral
(including the release or impairment of any Collateral, or to any notice of or consent to any amendment,
waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of the other Credit Documents) other than in its
capacity as a Lender and, in any case, only as expressly provided herein.

any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the

or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (y) disputes solely among Indemnitees (other than any claims against any Indemnitee
in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Book
Runner, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender or any similar role under this Agreement or any other
Credit Document or any of their respective Related Parties (in each case, acting in its capacity as such))
and not arising out of or involving any act or omission of any Credit Party or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including their respective officers, directors, employees or controlling persons).
This Section 11.2(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Credit Parties for any reason fail to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing
Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (in each case, determined as
of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such
114
96344373_5
sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or
against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-
agent), the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.
The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of this Agreement
that provide that their obligations are several in nature, and not joint and several.
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other such party, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection
(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information
or other materials distributed by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the

termination of the commitments hereunder and repayment, satisfaction and discharge of the loans and
obligations hereunder.
Section 11.3 Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of
the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Credit Document to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or its respective Affiliates, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Credit
Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the
Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all
amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing
Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or its respective Affiliates may have.
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.

event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders and the delivery of such

or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;
(v) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees;
(vi) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in
respect of any Letter of Credit;
116
96344373_5

Section 11.4(c) or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent
of all Lenders is required;
(viii) change the percentage of the outstanding principal amount of Loans that is
required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder or amend the definition of
“Required Lenders,” “Revolving Commitment Percentage,” “Term Loan A Commitment

Commitment, Term Loan A Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of any Lender;
(ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the
Guarantors from their obligations hereunder, in each case, except as expressly provided in the
Credit Documents; or
(x) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under any Credit Document (except pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder).
(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of
the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Credit Party therefrom,
shall:
(i) increase any Revolving Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then
in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of
any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any
Revolving Commitment of any Lender;
(ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swingline
Sublimit or the Swingline Loans without the consent of the Swingline Lender;

applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations
of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.
(d) Execution of Amendments, etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no
obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or
consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any
case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance
with this Section 11.4 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and,
if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.
Section 11.5 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any
117
96344373_5
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and any
other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of
each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more financial
institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitments, Loans and obligations hereunder at the time owing to it); provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s commitments and the loans at the time owing to it (in each case with
respect to any credit facility) or contemporaneous assignments to Approved Funds that
equal at least to the amounts specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the
aggregate) or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the commitment (which for this purpose includes loans and
obligations in respect thereof outstanding thereunder) or, if the commitment is not then in
effect, the principal outstanding balance of the loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
$5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Revolving Commitments
and/or Revolving Loans, or $2,500,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any
Term Loan Commitments and/or Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
with respect to the Commitments and Loans assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit
any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations on a non-pro rata basis as
between its Revolving Commitment and/or Revolving Loans, on the one hand, and any Term
Loan Commitment and/or Term Loans, on the other the hand.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to
the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred
118
96344373_5
and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed
to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice
to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice
thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i)
commitments under revolving credit facilities and unfunded commitments under term
loan facilities if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a commitment in
respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
such Lender or (ii) a funded Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the consent of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall be
required for any assignment in respect of any Revolving Commitments.
(iv) Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and
recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, unless waived, in whole or in part by the Administrative
Agent in its discretion. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of
the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) a natural Person.
(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and
until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall
make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,
upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the
assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding,
with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of
Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all
payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and
(y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance
with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a
Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee
thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment Agreement, 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 Agreement,
119
96344373_5
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement
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 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and
11.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided, that except to the extent expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. The Borrower will execute and deliver on request, at its own expense,
Notes to the assignee evidencing the interests taken by way of assignment hereunder. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States, a copy of each Assignment Agreement
delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the
Loans and Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent 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. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. This Section shall be construed such that the Loans are at all times
maintained in registered form within the meanings of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the
Internal Revenue Code.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a
Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.2(c) with respect
to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in clauses (b) or (c) of Section 11.4 that affects such Participant. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 (subject
to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(f) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 3.3(f) shall be delivered to the participating
Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.17 and 3.4 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.2 or 3.3, with respect to any participation, than
its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to
receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
120
96344373_5
applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and
expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Sections
2.17 and 3.4 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to
be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in
the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no
Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or in
connection with a Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s request for such information to comply
with FATCA. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such
Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement, or any promissory notes evidencing its interests hereunder,
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 11.6 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent
effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it
would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant
shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition
exists.
Section 11.7 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations,
warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of
any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements
of each Credit Party set forth in Section 3.1(c), Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 11.2, Section 11.3,
Section 11.13 and Section 11.14 and the agreements of the Lenders and the Agents set forth in
Section 2.14, Section 10.3 and Section 11.2(c) shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation,
expiration or cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit, and the termination hereof.
Section 11.8 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent
or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit
Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and
remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and
independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of
the other Credit Documents, any Swap Agreements or any Treasury Management Agreements. Any
forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude
the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
121
96344373_5
Section 11.9 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be
under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or
in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or
payments to any Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Lenders (or to any Agent, on
behalf of Lenders), or any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders enforce any security interests or
exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, any
other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or
related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or of such provision in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.11 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of
the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Revolving
Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document,
and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any
time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to Section 10.10(c),
each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in
any proceeding for such purpose.
Section 11.12 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive
effect.
Section 11.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the law of the State of New York.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in
the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties
hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit
Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Credit Party or its properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction.
122
96344373_5
(c) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit
Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 11.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 11.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.
Section 11.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related
Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or
such Lender, as the case may be, hereby agrees that it will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable
under the circumstances in the event of any such disclosure (other than any disclosure at the request of a
regulatory agency or authority or in connection with a routine filing, examination, audit or review) by
such Person unless such notification is prohibited by Applicable Law or regulation, (d) to any other party
hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document
or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in (including, for purposes hereof, any new lenders invited to join hereunder on an increase in
the Loans and/or Commitments hereunder, whether by exercise of an accordion, by way of amendment or
otherwise), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or
its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by
reference to the Borrower or its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential
basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit
facilities provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with
the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit
facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) to the extent such Information
123
96344373_5
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available
to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (j) for purposes of
establishing a “due diligence” defense.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its
own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledges
that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with
Applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities laws.
Section 11.16 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the
aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all
charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Laws shall not
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding
sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the aggregate outstanding
amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount
of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated
rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans
made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase
provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the
stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent
permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference
between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest
Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the
Lenders and each of the Credit Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if
any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the
Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall
at such Lender’s option be applied to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or
be refunded to each of the applicable Credit Parties. In determining whether the interest contracted for,
charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such
Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of
interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 11.17 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the
other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
124
96344373_5
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank, constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 11.18 No Advisory of Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and
agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by each Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the
Credit Parties, on the one hand, and each Agent, on the other hand, (ii) each of the Credit Parties has
consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (iii) each of the Credit Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks
and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (b)(i) each
Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Credit
