4. Representations and Warranties
On and as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, after giving effect to this Amendment, each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:
(a) each Loan Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate (or, in the case of Loan Parties that are not corporations, other) proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the applicable Loan Parties enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or law);
(b) each of the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and any other Loan Document is true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date; provided, however, that references therein to the “Credit Agreement” or any other term which includes the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and after giving effect to the consents, waivers and amendments set forth herein;
(c) no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, is continuing or existed immediately prior to or will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment;
(d) before and after giving effect to this Amendment, all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.28 of the Credit Agreement will be satisfied on a pro forma basis for the most recent determination period; and
(e) neither the execution and delivery by the Loan Parties of this Amendment, nor compliance with the provisions hereof or of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, will violate (i) any Law binding on any of the Loan Parties or their respective Property or (ii) the articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, of the Loan Parties, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is a party or is subject (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment), or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement
4
other than any such violation, conflict, default or Lien which, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (iii) above (other than in the case of clause (iii) as it relates to the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment), would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, no order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any Official Body or any other Person that has not been obtained by any Loan Party, is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, any borrowings heretofore made under the Credit Agreement, the payment and performance by the Loan Parties of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
(f) As of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, after giving effect to the execution of this Amendment, the Company is Solvent. “Solvent” as used herein shall mean (a) the consolidated fair value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, at a fair valuation, will exceed their consolidated debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent, unmatured or otherwise, (b) the consolidated present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its subsidiaries is greater than the amount that is required to pay the probable liability of their consolidated debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent, unmatured or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their consolidated debt and liabilities, subordinated, contingent, unmatured or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, and (d) the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged.
5. Reference to the Effect on the Loan Documents
(a) As of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder”, “thereof” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together and construed as a single instrument.
(b) Except as expressly amended hereby or specifically waived above, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, the Borrower, the Guarantors, any Agent or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver or amendment of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents or for any purpose except in each case as expressly set forth herein. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
(d) This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document.
5
6. Reaffirmation
Each Loan Party hereby expressly acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and reaffirms, as of the date hereof, (i) the covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party (as modified hereby); (ii) with respect to the Guarantors, its guarantee of the Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement; and (iii) agrees that (A) each Loan Document to which it is a party shall continue to be in full force and effect (as modified hereby) and (B) all guarantees, covenants and agreements by such Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect (as modified hereby) and shall accrue to the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby or by the transactions contemplated in this Amendment (except as expressly provided herein).
7. Execution in Counterparts
This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
8. Governing Law
THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9. Section Titles
The section titles contained in this Amendment are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto, except when used to reference a section. Any reference to the number of a clause, sub-clause or subsection of any Loan Document immediately followed by a reference in parenthesis to the title of the section of such Loan Document containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection is a reference to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the entire section; provided, however, that, in case of direct conflict between the reference to the title and the reference to the number of such section, the reference to the title shall govern absent manifest error. If any reference to the number of a section (but not to any clause, sub-clause or subsection thereof) of any Loan Document is followed immediately by a reference in parenthesis to the title of a section of any Loan Document, the title reference shall govern in case of direct conflict absent manifest error.
6
10. Notices
All communications and notices hereunder shall be given as provided in the Credit Agreement.
11. Severability
The fact that any term or provision of this Amendment is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as to any person in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, enforceability or legality of the remaining terms or provisions hereof or the validity, enforceability or legality of such offending term or provision in any other situation or jurisdiction or as applied to any person.
12. Successors
The terms of this Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
The jurisdiction and waiver of right to trial by jury provisions in Sections 16.2 and 16.3 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Rate Option and Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided however that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) Any Lender may request that its Term Loans be evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender the applicable Note or Notes payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above.
2.12 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Term Advances, effect selections of Rate Options and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
35
2.13 Interest Payment Dates: Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on the first date of each calendar month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Ratable Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Ratable Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Ratable Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the first day of each calendar quarter during such Interest Period. Interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year except that interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day (or, if applicable, 366-day) year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Term Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Term Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
2.14 Notification of Term Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. Promptly after receipt thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent will notify each Term Lender of the contents of each notice in respect of a prepayment of Term Loans under Section 2.6 and (b) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Term Lender of each Ratable Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice and repayment notice received by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Term Loan Facility. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender under the Term Loan Facility of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Ratable Advance under the Term Loan Facility promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.15 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans under the Term Loan Facility at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the applicable Loans and Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIV, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans under the Term Loan Facility will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments under the Term Loan Facility are to be made.
2.16 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date, or time of day in the case of same-day borrowings, on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available
36
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
2.17 Extension of Term Loan Facility Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may request, but not more than once in each fiscal year of the Borrower and on no more than three occasions in the aggregate after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date by submitting a request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”). The Extension Request must specify the new Term Loan Facility Maturity Date requested by the Borrower with respect thereto (“Extension Date”), which shall be not more than five years after the effective date of the amendment to this Agreement establishing such Extension Date (the “Extension Effective Date”). The Extension Request shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Borrower, stating that on the date of the Extension Request, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). On the Extension Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Borrower, stating that on the Extension Effective Date, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the Term Loan Facility of the contents thereof and shall request that each Lender under the Term Loan Facility approve the Extension Request (which approval may be given or withheld by each Lender in its sole discretion). If an Extension Request requests an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date, a Lender may, at its election, approve or deny an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date (it being understood that no Lender shall be under any obligation to approve an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date). Each Lender approving an Extension Request shall deliver its written approval no later than 25 days following such Extension Request (or such longer or shorter period as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such period, the “Extension Period”)). If written approval of the Required Lenders is not received by the Administrative Agent within such Extension Period, the Extension Request shall be denied. If such written approval of the Required Lenders under the Term Loan Facility is received by the Administrative Agent within such Extension Period, the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date shall be extended to the Extension Date, but only with respect to the Term Advances of the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility that have given such written approval. Except to the extent that a Lender that did not give its written approval to such Extension Request under the Term Loan Facility that has been approved
37
in accordance with this Section 2.17 (each a “Term Declining Lender”) is replaced prior to its Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date as provided in Section 2.20 or such Term Declining Lender subsequently elects to extend the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date of its Term Advances, (a) the Current Term Advance Amount shall be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of Term Advances of each such Term Declining Lender on (and the Current Term Advance Amount shall decrease effective as of) the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date, as determined prior to such Extension Request (the “Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date”), or the date that the Term Advances of such Term Declining Lender are terminated in accordance with Section 2.21, as the case may be and (b) the Loans and all interest, fees and other amounts owed to such Term Declining Lender under the Term Loan Facility with respect to which it is a Term Declining Lender shall be paid in full on each such Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date or as otherwise provided in Section 2.21.
2.18 Additional Term Loans.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the Term Loan Facility (“Additional Term Loans”) (within the limitations herein provided), which notice shall set forth the amount of such requested borrowing of Additional Term Loans. The Additional Term Loans may be effected by having one or more New Term Lenders become Lenders under the Term Loan Facility and/or by having any one or more of the then existing Lenders under the Term Loan Facility (at their respective election in their sole discretion) that have been approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Company (such approval by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provide Additional Term Loans, provided that (i) each borrowing of Additional Term Loans shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) on the applicable Additional Term Loan Effective Date, after giving effect to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans, the Current Term Advance Amount shall not exceed the Term Loan Facility Limit, (iii) no Unmatured Default or Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the Facility Increase, (iv) all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.28 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis for the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such borrowing of Additional Term Loans as if it occurred on the last day of such determination period and (v) any Additional Term Loans shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Term Loans under the Term Loan Facility immediately prior to the borrowing of such Additional Term Loans.
(b) As a condition to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans, (i) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have accepted and executed the same (such acceptance and execution by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) if requested by an Additional Lender, the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent the applicable Note payable to such Additional Lender (or its registered assigns); (iii) the Guarantors shall have consented in writing to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans and shall have agreed that their Guaranty Agreements continue in full force and effect with respect to the Term Loan Facility after giving effect to such borrowing of Additional Term Loans; (iv) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in
38
connection with such borrowing of Additional Term Loans; (v) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent opinions of counsel (substantially similar to the forms of opinions provided for in Section 5.1 (viii), modified to apply to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans and to each Note, Commitment and Acceptance, and other documents executed and delivered in connection with such borrowing of Additional Term Loans); and (vi) a Ratable Borrowing Notice in accordance with Section 2.2.3 or as otherwise agreed among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders. The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (i) through (v) above shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of any borrowings of Additional Term Loans.
(c) Upon the effective date of any borrowing of Additional Term Loans pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Additional Term Loan Effective Date”), which Additional Term Loan Effective Date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each applicable Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent, then: (A) on such Additional Term Loan Effective Date, each Additional Lender under the Term Loan Facility shall advance its Additional Term Loan, which shall be combined with the other outstanding Term Advances and converted into one or more Term Advances under the Term Loan Facility; (B) on such Additional Term Loan Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay all costs (if any) payable under Section 3.4 resulting from the termination of any Eurodollar Ratable Advances under the Term Loan Facility prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period; and (C) such Additional Lender under the Term Loan Facility shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Term Lender hereunder on and after such Additional Term Loan Effective Date.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any borrowing of Additional Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Additional Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or agreement on the part of any Lender to make an Additional Term Loan hereunder at any time or a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to give or grant any Lender the right to make an Additional Term Loan hereunder at any time.
2.19 [Reserved].
2.20 Replacement of a Lender. If a Lender (“Affected Lender”) (a) sustains or incurs a loss or expense or reduction of income and requests reimbursement therefor from the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5, (b) determines that maintenance of any of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable Law or it is otherwise impossible for such Lender (or its Lending Installation) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Loan and so notifies the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.3 or (c) is a Term Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may on or after the date on which the Borrower receives such request (in the case of clause (a) above) or after the date on which the Administrative Agent gives the Borrower notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice from such Lender under Section 3.3 (in the case of clause (b) above) or at any time prior
39
to such Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date (in the case of clause (c) above) or at any time after the date that it is determined that such Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (in the case of clause (c) above) notify the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender that a Replacement Lender designated by the Borrower in the notice has agreed to replace such Lender with respect to its outstanding Term Loans, provided that (i) any Replacement Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) any assignment to a Replacement Lender shall be subject to Section 13.3; and (iii) the Borrower shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 to the Affected Lender to be replaced on or before such replacement. The Affected Lender to be replaced shall assign, as applicable, its Term Loans hereunder to the Replacement Lender pursuant to the procedures for assignments contained in Section 13.3 (except as to any minimum amount requirements set forth therein) and shall receive, concurrently with such assignments, payment from such Replacement Lender of an amount equal to all outstanding amounts payable to such Affected Lender with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by such Affected Lender, all interest thereon to the date of the assignment, all accrued fees to the date of such assignment and any amounts payable under Section 3.4 with respect to any payment of any Eurodollar Loan resulting from such assignment. Such Affected Lender shall not be responsible for the payment to the Administrative Agent of the fee provided for in Section 13.3.2, which fee shall be paid by such Replacement Lender. In the case of an assignment by (i) a Term Declining Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender that is the assignee of such Term Declining Lender shall agree at the time of such assignment to the extension to the Extension Date of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loan Facility, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and (in its reasonable discretion) the Administrative Agent or (ii) a Non-Consenting Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender that is the assignee of the Non-Consenting Lender shall agree at the time of such assignment to the amendment, consent or waiver which such Non-Consenting Lender has not consented to, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and (in its reasonable discretion) the Administrative Agent.
2.21 Termination of Term Loans of Non-Consenting Lender. At any time prior to the replacement of Term Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower may, upon not less than 15 days’ (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, prepay the Term Loans of such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, as of a Business Day (in the case of the prepayment of the Term Loans of a Term Declining Lender, prior to the Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date) set forth in such notice. In the event of such prepayment of Term Loans of a Term Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of such prepayment of Term Loans, for the account of such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, all Loans and other sums payable to such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, under the Term Loan Facility and all amounts (if any) payable to such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, under Section 3.4 under the Term Loan Facility by reason of such payment. Such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 10.6(b) to the extent such Term Declining Lender’s or Non-Consenting Lender’s, as applicable, entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender under the Term Loan Facility prior to the prepayment of its Term Loans.
40
ARTICLE III
INCREASED COSTS; TAXES
3.1 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Ratable Advance any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Installation), shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Installation) or the Administrative Agent or on the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting its Eurodollar Ratable Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Ratable Advances, or shall subject such Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Installation) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Ratable Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Installation) or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that at such time such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.1 shall not apply to Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes.
3.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Installation of such Lender regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity, as applicable) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that at such time such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.2 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.1 and Section 3.5.
41
3.3 Availability of Certain Term Advances; Illegality.
(a) (i) If the Required Lenders under the Term Loan Facility determine that (A) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Ratable Advances are not available or (B) the interest rate applicable to a Rate Option does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining the applicable Term Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Rate Option under the Term Loan Facility or (ii) if, after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Installation) with any request or directive issued after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Official Body shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Installation) to make, maintain or fund its Eurodollar Ratable Advances hereunder such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make such Eurodollar Ratable Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3, such Lender shall designate a different Lending Installation if such different Lending Installation is available to the applicable Lender, such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and such designation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurodollar Ratable Advances to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each such Eurodollar Ratable Advances will automatically, upon such demand, be converted into an ABR Advance.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it has determined, or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for U.S. dollars and such Interest Period and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (y) the circumstances set forth in clause (x) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rates of loans, or (z) U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities being executed at such time or that include language similar to that contained in this Section are being executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark replacement rate to replace the LIBO Rate, and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have elected to declare that an “Early-Opt-in Election” has occurred and the provision, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Borrower and the Lenders or by the Borrower or the Required Lenders of written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, then after such determination or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternative rate of interest and may amend this
42
Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternate benchmark rate of interest (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the LIBO Rate (including modifications to clause (b) of the definition of “Federal Funds/Euro-Rate”) (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable, including any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.2, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date such proposed amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the first sentence of this 3.3(b), only to the extent the LIBO Rate for U.S. dollars and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (A) any Ratable Borrowing Notice that requests a Eurodollar Ratable Advance or a Federal Funds/Euro-Rate Advance shall be ineffective and (B) any Rate Option Notice that requests the conversion of any Term Advance to, or continuation of any Term Advance as, a Eurodollar Ratable Advance or a Federal Funds/Euro-Rate Advance shall be ineffective and such Term Advance shall be automatically converted at such time into an ABR Advance; provided that, if such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be less than zero, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
3.4 Funding Indemnification. If (a) (i) any payment of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or (ii) a Eurodollar Ratable Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower, or (iii) any Term Advance is not continued as or converted into a Eurodollar Ratable Advance, on the date specified by the Borrower, in each case, for any reason other than default by the Lenders or (b) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then the Borrower will indemnify each applicable Lender for any loss or cost (including any reasonable internal administrative costs but excluding any loss of margin, any lost profits and any loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of such Lender to make a Loan as a result of a default by such Lender) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Ratable Advance. Determination of amounts payable under this Section 3.4 in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
3.5 Taxes.
(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan
43
Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) have been made, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other intangible, recording, filing or any similar excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower agrees unconditionally to indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any or all Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5), including any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Such indemnification payments by the Borrower shall be made within 20 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
(d) (1) Any Lender that is eligible for an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate or withholding. In addition, any Lender, at the time or times 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. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.5(d)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(d)(2)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
44
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.5, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 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.
(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

For purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this agreement.
(e) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.5(d).
(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), 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 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5 (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 Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) 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.
46
3.6 Lender Statements: Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its applicable Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of the applicable Eurodollar Ratable Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount (which calculations shall be made in good faith) and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable within 30 days after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 relating to any period of time which is greater than 90 days prior to such Person’s request for additional payment except for retroactive application of any law, rule or regulation, in which case (a) the Borrower is required to make such payments so long as such Person makes a request therefor within 90 days after the public announcement of such retroactive application and (b) the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

As used herein, the term “Maximum Deductible Amount” shall mean an amount equal to (A) the sum of the cost of purchases and repurchases by the Toll Group of capital stock of the Company made, and the aggregate amount of dividends and other distributions paid in cash by the Toll Group in respect of the Company’s capital stock, in each case after November 1, 2018, not to exceed, in the aggregate during any one-year period (as measured from November 1 to October 31 of each year) fifteen percent (15%) of the Tangible Net Worth as of the end of the fiscal year of the Company preceding such one-year period, plus (B) in addition to the purchases and repurchases of capital stock, and dividends and distributions in respect of capital stock, in each case under clause (A), the sum of (1) the cost of other purchases and repurchases by the Toll Group of capital stock of the Company at any time and (2) the aggregate amount of dividends and other distributions in respect of the capital stock of the Company at any time, not to exceed $500,000,000 in the aggregate after November 1, 2018.

ARTICLE IX
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Borrower or the Company the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) may declare the Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.
72
If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 with respect to the Borrower or the Company) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration.
9.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX and Section 3.3(b), the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Company may enter into agreements for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such agreement or any waiver shall, (a) without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby:
(i) Forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan, or reduce the rate, whether by modification of the Pricing Schedule or otherwise (it being understood that any change to the definition of Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause), or extend the time for payment of or forgive interest or fees thereon; or
(ii) Extend the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date under the Term Loan Facility (except as agreed to by such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17), or increase the amount of Term Loans of any Lender (except as agreed to by such Lender);
or (b) without the consent of all Lenders:
(iii) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; or
(iv) [Reserved]; or
(v) Change, directly or indirectly, the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders,” or change any provision that calls for consent, approval or other action by the Required Lenders, all Lenders or any particular affected Lender; or
(vi) Amend Section 2.10(b), this Section 9.2 or Section 12.2; or
(vii) Release any Guarantor (except for the release of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13).
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without its written consent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Loan Documents or related documents executed by any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Loan Documents or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other
73
Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.
9.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall, subject to the terms hereof, be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE X

The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This Section 10.6(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
75
10.7 Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall (if the Administrative Agent so requests) be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.
10.8 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as in effect from time to time (“GAAP”); provided, however, if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document (including for pricing purposes), and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

10.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
10.10 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party to review or inform the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s, the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s business or operations. The Borrower and the Company agree that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or
76
otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall have any liability (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) with respect to, and the Borrower, the Company and each other Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (or suffered by any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives) in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this
77
Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Term Loans. For the purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11. 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.
10.12 Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) for the repayment of the Loans provided for herein.
10.13 Conversion and Non-Designation of Designated Guarantors.
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that a Designated Guarantor be released from its Guaranty Agreement and thereby be converted to a Non-Loan Party (a “Conversion”) or that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company not be required to be designated as a Designated Guarantor (a “Non-Designation”), on and subject to the following conditions:
(i) No Default or Unmatured Default shall exist (except any Default or Unmatured Default that will be cured as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation) and no other Default or Unmatured Default will exist as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation.
(ii) In the case of a Conversion, the stockholders’ equity in such Designated Guarantor and in the case of a Non-Designation, the stockholders’ equity in such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties before giving effect to such Conversion or Non-Designation. Determination of such percentages of stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which the financial statements required under Sections 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at the time of such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(iii) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests to be converted into Non-Loan Parties in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated Guarantors during such four-quarter period shall not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) (or fifteen percent (15%) if and to the extent necessary to permit the Borrower to cure a Default by Conversion of a Designated Guarantor) of the lowest total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties at the end of any fiscal quarter during such four-quarter period. Determination of such
78
aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (as determined at the time of request for Conversion of such Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in accordance with clause (ii) above).
(iv) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests to be converted into Non-Loan Parties after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated Guarantors after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (in each case excluding Non-Loan Parties as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date) shall not in the aggregate exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties. Determination of such aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. Determinations of such stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements required under Section 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at the time of the last such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(v) The disposition by the Company of such Designated Guarantor (in the case of a Conversion) or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (in the case of a Non-Designation) would not have a material effect on the homebuilding business of the other Loan Parties, operationally or otherwise.
(vi) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with the Borrower’s notice requesting the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, a certificate of the Borrower and the Company, certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied with respect to such Conversion or Non-Designation, together with (A) in the case of a Conversion, a Compliance Certificate, as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, prepared taking into account such Conversion and (B) in any case, such other evidence in support of the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(vii) Such Conversion or Non-Designation shall comply with the provisions of Section 10.13(d).
Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination (which may be made solely by relying on the certificate delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above) that the foregoing conditions with respect to the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.13(b)) promptly (1) execute and deliver, for and on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a release of such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty Agreement, whereupon such Designated Guarantor shall cease to be a Designated Guarantor and Loan Party and shall be a Non-Loan Party, and (2) give notice to the Lenders of the Conversion of such Designated Guarantor. Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination (which may be
79
made solely by relying on the certificate delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above) that the foregoing conditions with respect to the Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such Non-Designation to the Borrower and the Lenders.
(b) Notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions for Conversion of a Designated Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.13(a), if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, not to release such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, in which event such Designated Guarantor shall remain a Guarantor but shall not constitute a Loan Party hereunder for purposes of compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Section 7.28) and the provisions of Article VIII. If the Administrative Agent so elects not to release such Designated Guarantor, it shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Required Lenders may at any time direct the Administrative Agent to release such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty.
(c) If prior to the release of a Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, the Borrower determines and certifies to the Administrative Agent that the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, compliance with the covenants contained in Section 7.28) would not result in a Default or Unmatured Default, the Borrower may request the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes. As a condition of any such reinstatement, the Administrative Agent may request the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence in support of the Borrower’s certification, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate with respect to the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of the Company are available, reflecting the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party and evidencing compliance with the covenants hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s approval of the Borrower’s certification and supporting evidence (which approval may be made solely by relying on such certification and supporting evidence), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that such Designated Guarantor has been so reinstated, and from and after the delivery of such notice, such Designated Guarantor shall again be a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes.
(d) At all times after the Borrower has satisfied the conditions of Conversion of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13(a) but prior to the release of such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, all reports required to be furnished under Section 7.1 hereof or any other provisions of this Agreement shall exclude such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder unless and until such Designated Guarantor is reinstated as a Loan Party as provided in this Section 10.13.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary, if, after a Subsidiary has been converted into a Non-Loan Party or, at the request of the Borrower, has not been designated as a Designated Guarantor (in each case in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 10.13), the Borrower thereafter designates such Subsidiary as a Designated Guarantor (and such Subsidiary becomes a Designated Guarantor), such Subsidiary shall not, so long as such Subsidiary is a Designated Guarantor, be considered a Non-Loan Party for purposes of the above calculations.
80
10.14 PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act.
10.15 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution;
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable;
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
10.16 Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to
81
the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
11.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints SunTrust to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, other than as expressly set forth herein, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party hereto shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
11.2 Administrative Agent Individually.
(a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, 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 or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 11.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender
82
understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law;
83
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and
(d) nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (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 Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
84
condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan and such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent applicable, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
11.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
11.6 Resignation of Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in any state in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in any state in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) 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 directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s
85
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
(a) Each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.
(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Loan Party;
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;
(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document.
86
11.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arranger, syndication agents, documentation agents, the Administrative Agent or any other Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
11.9 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such reasonably requested instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, at no cost to the Borrower. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
11.10 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as such, ratably, in their respective Term Loan Ratable Shares, (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and
87
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.10 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
11.11 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder (other than a Default under Section 8.2) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or that such notice is delivered pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
11.12 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed by them from time to time.
11.13 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower, the Company and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles X and XI.
11.14 Agent’s Responsibilities and Duties. None of the Agents shall have any responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as an Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Agents or the Administrative Agent shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any Lender.
11.15 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Party may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax with respect to such Lender. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.5, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other governmental authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate
88
form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.15. The agreements in this Section 11.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Term Loans and all other Obligations.
11.16 Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower or the Company becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or the Company may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender under the Term Loan Facility, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans under the Term Loan Facility (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 or as otherwise expressly set forth herein) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender under the Term Loan Facility, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash a participation interest in such portion of the Term Loans held by the other Lenders under the Term Loan Facility as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the Lenders. If any Lender under the Term Loan Facility, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations under the Term Loan Facility or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders under the Term Loan Facility share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans under the Term Loan Facility. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XIII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Company and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) neither the Borrower nor the Company shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 (such assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”). Notwithstanding clause (b) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, the Company or the Administrative Agent transfer its rights or obligations by, assigning, pledging or granting a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any Note, any Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (or its foreign equivalent); provided, however, that no such assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank (or its foreign equivalent) shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Any assignee or transferee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such transfer or assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
13.2 Participations.
13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect.
(a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any Person (other than a natural person, the Company, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)) (“Participant”) participating interests in any Note held by such Lender, any Term Loan of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. The consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to a sale of a participating interest becoming effective with respect to a Participant (except a sale of a participating interest by a Lender to its Affiliate or in the case of the consent of the Borrower only, a participating interest to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof); provided, however, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any consents of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.2.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within eight (8) calendar days after having received written notice thereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or Section 3.5, 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 sale of the participation takes place.
91
(c) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary in connection with a tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit or expand the rights of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to consent to such participation under clause (a) above to the extent provided in such clause. 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 the participation such person is shown as owning, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents except that any participation agreement may provide that the applicable Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan (except as provided in Section 3.3(b)), extends the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date under the Term Loan Facility (including as provided in Section 2.17), postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan, releases any Guarantor (except for a release of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13) of any such Loan or releases all or substantially all of the collateral, if any, securing any such Loan.
13.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
13.3 Assignments.
13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, subject to any consent required below, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to a Qualified Bank (or, while a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is
92
continuing, to any Person (other than a natural person, the Company, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)) (“Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”). Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser (except, but subject to clause (b) of the immediately succeeding sentence, an assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, another Lender or an Affiliate of such other Lender thereof); provided, however, that if a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. Unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (except that, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required), (a) each such assignment shall (unless it is an assignment of a Lender’s entire interest in the Term Loan Facility) be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (b) except as otherwise provided below in this Section 13.3.1, no assignment shall be made that would reduce the Term Loans of a Lender and its Affiliates (in the aggregate) to an amount less than the greater of (i) $10,000,000 or (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of the Term Loans held by such Lender on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date or as of any later date on which it first became a Lender hereunder (or, in the case of this clause (ii), such lesser amount to which the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, agree in writing); provided that while a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, clause (b) of this sentence shall not apply. Any consents of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.3.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any consent of the Borrower under Section (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, which consent may be withheld by the Borrower in its sole discretion); 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 eight (8) calendar days after having received written notice thereof.
13.3.2 Effect, Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption, together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Term Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Term Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and, with respect to any sale of all of the Term Loans of a Term Loan Lender, no further consent or action by any Loan Party, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender as a Lender under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Term Loans, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Such transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 10.6(b) (to the extent such Lender’s entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender prior to the applicable assignment
93
except in respect of a Change in Law after the applicable assignment). The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the Lender with respect to the Loans shown in the Register as owing to such person, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon prior reasonable notice.
13.3.3 [Reserved].
13.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower and the Company authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by Section 10.11 of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIV
NOTICES
14.1 Notices.
(a) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.12, all notices, requests, demands, consents and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic transmission, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower, the Company or the Administrative Agent, at the address(es) or facsimile number(s) set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Lender, at its address or facsimile number set forth in its administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of any party, at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1. Each such notice, request, demand, consent or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section during the applicable recipient’s normal business hours and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, four (4) Business Days after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered (or, in the case of electronic transmission during the applicable recipient’s normal business hours, received) at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received.
(b) So long as SunTrust or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, such materials as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree in their sole discretion shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx. The
94
Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any Ratable Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice, request for conversion or continuation of any Term Advance or notices constituting service of process or relating to legal process) (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) no Agent Party (as defined below) warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, indirect or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Lender and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or facsimile. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address(es) to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address(es) as such Lender shall instruct. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will, upon any Lender’s reasonable request, furnish materials posted on the Platform to such Lender in hard copy to such Lender’s address set forth on the signature pages hereof.
95
(d) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
(e) Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.
14.2 Change of Address. The Borrower, the Company, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.
ARTICLE XV

This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by facsimile or other electronic transmission or telephone that it has taken such action. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, e-mail or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final two paragraphs of this Schedule:
“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Company delivered pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section 7.1(i) or (ii).
“Level” means the level (whether I, II, III, IV or V) in the foregoing table that corresponds to an applicable item in any other column in the foregoing table. For purposes of comparing Levels, Level I is referred to as the lowest Level and Level V as the highest Level.
“Pricing Level” means, with respect to the Applicable Margins, at any date, the Level in the foregoing table that corresponds to the then current Level of the Leverage Ratio.
The Applicable Margins shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the then current Pricing Level.
