ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Each Lender’s Commitment (i) shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date (whether or not fully drawn) and (ii) shall be terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or Section 2.23(d) or Article VII. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01 and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $50,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the applicable Commitments, as the case may be).

(b) Each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option fulfill its

Commitment with respect to any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, however, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. For purposes of the foregoing, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan that is (A) a Base Rate Loan or (B) a LIBOR Loan, to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower to which such Loan is to be made as the Borrower may designate in a written notice to the Administrative Agent, or, if such Loans are not made on such date because any condition precedent to a Borrowing herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The occurrence of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make a Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Notice of Borrowings. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall give written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing or by telecopy) (a) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before such proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before such proposed Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then such requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Interest Elections. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) at the option of the Borrower, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing request and (b) each LIBOR Borrowing shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the Borrowing request with respect to such Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing in its existing Type and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing (each an “Interest Election Request”).

(b) To make an Interest Election Request, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Sections 2.02 and 2.03:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

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

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

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

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

(f) With respect to any LIBOR Borrowing, the Borrower shall not be entitled to make an Interest Election Request which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than five separate Interest Periods outstanding under this Agreement at any one time.

SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be payable on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at one of its offices a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s, each Lender’s interest in the Loans and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders, (ii) the Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount of the Loans made and, if a LIBOR Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Lender hereunder, and (v) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.05 and Section 10.04 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(d) The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request a promissory note evidencing the Loans made by it hereunder (each a “Note”) to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver such a Note, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, payable to such Lender or its order, and, subject to Section 2.05(c), the interests represented by such Note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its order.

SECTION 2.06. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) in immediately available Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, commitment fees (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% on the daily average undrawn Commitments of such Lender accruing during the period commencing on August 24, 2014, to but excluding the date on which all the Commitments are terminated. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated in whole. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) in immediately available Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, duration fees (the “Duration Fees”) in an amount equal to (i) the applicable percentage set forth in the grid below times (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of such Lender outstanding at the close of business, New York City time, on each of the 90^th, 180^th and 270^th day after the Closing Date as set forth in the grid below:


Duration Fees
Date after Closing Date	Percentage
90 days after the Closing Date		0.50	%
180 days after the Closing Date		1.00	%
270 days after the Closing Date		1.50	%

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders, for their respective accounts, any applicable fees respectively required to be paid to them in such amounts and at such times as separately agreed between them in writing, including as set forth in the Fee Letter.

(d) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent, for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, the fees shall not be refundable except in the case of an error which results in the payment of fees in excess of those due and payable as of such date, in which case the Administrative Agent shall cause a refund in the amount of such excess to be paid to the Borrower.

(e) Defaulting Lender Fees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Commitment Fees relating to such Defaulting Lender’s unused Commitments accruing during such period pursuant to clause (a) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such Commitment Fees).

SECTION 2.07. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each day (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect during the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Interest shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period. The applicable LIBO Rate or Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.08. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.07 plus 2% per annum, or (b) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to Base Rate Borrowings plus 2% per annum.

SECTION 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise Dollars to fund Loans of the requested Type, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its LIBOR Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, any request made by the Borrower after the date of such notice for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04 shall, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Optional Termination and Reduction of Commitments and Prepayment of Loans. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable, written or telecopy notice (which notice may be conditioned upon the closing of any financing arrangement obtained to refinance or replace the Facility) to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000. Except for terminations of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.23(d), each reduction in Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Total Commitment. The Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each such termination or reduction pursuant to this Section 2.10(a), the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be permanent.

(b) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of

$5,000,000 and not less than the $50,000,000. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable (but may be conditioned upon the closing of any financing arrangement obtained to refinance or replace the Facility) and shall commit the Borrower to prepay the Loan to which such notice relates by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.10(b) shall be subject to Section 2.14 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.10(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing under this 2.10(b) shall not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.11. Mandatory Termination and Reduction of Commitments and Prepayment of Loans. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the first to occur of (i) the date of abandonment of the Acquisition or termination of the Borrower’s or Acquisition Sub’s obligations under the Acquisition Agreement to consummate the Acquisition and (ii) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) (i) In the event that on or after June 25, 2014, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries receives (including in the case of any Debt Issuance or Equity Issuance, into escrow) any Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Asset Sale (subject to Section 2.11(b)(ii) below), Debt Issuance or Equity Issuance (A) prior to the Closing Date, then the Total Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds as of the date of receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds; or (B) on or after the Closing Date, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds not later than three Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds arising from an Asset Sale, if, within 9 months of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary uses, or commits to use (pursuant to a binding agreement), any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire, construct, improve, upgrade or repair assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, then no prepayment or Commitment reduction, as applicable, shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds (or the applicable portion of such Net Cash Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent any Net Cash Proceeds therefrom that have not been so used or committed to be used (pursuant to a binding agreement) by the end of such 9-month period, at which time, a prepayment or Commitment reduction, as applicable, shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so used or committed to be used (pursuant to a binding agreement). The Borrower shall promptly (within two Business Days of the receipt thereof) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of any such Net Cash Proceeds (including any election to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to the proviso above) and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice.

(ii) To the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale (including any Casualty Event) by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment or Commitment reduction event (a “Foreign Disposition”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.11(b)(i) above, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans or reduce the Commitments, as applicable, at the times provided in Section 2.11(b)(i) above but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than (x) in the case of a repayment of Loans, two Business Days after such repatriation or (y) in the case of a Commitment reduction, the date of such

repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans or the reduction of the Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) above to the extent otherwise provided herein.

(c) If, prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any Committed Financing, then the Borrower shall promptly (within two Business Days thereof) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Committed Financing and the Commitments shall be automatically reduced by the committed principal amount of such Committed Financing as of the date of effectiveness of the commitments under such Committed Financing.

(d) All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing under this 2.11 shall not be reborrowed. Each reduction in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Total Commitment. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.12. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein other than Section 2.14(c) and with respect to Taxes (which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 2.18), if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender that makes a LIBOR Loan or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market or other market in which Lenders ordinarily raise Dollars to fund Loans of the requested Type any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of funding, making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), by an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay (or cause to be paid) to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that such Lender shall be generally seeking, or intending generally to seek, comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) in similar circumstances.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any Parent Company of such Lender by an amount reasonably determined by such Lender or such Parent Company as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy and/or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Parent Company for such reduction; provided, that (x) such Lender shall be generally seeking, or intending generally to seek, comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such change in or in the interpretation in any law regarding capital requirements and (y) such additional amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement; provided, further that, this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the

Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its Parent Company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and showing the calculation for such amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that such certificate states that such Lender is treating substantially all similarly situated borrowers in a manner that is consistent with the treatment afforded the Borrower hereunder. The Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within ten (10) days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Except as provided in this paragraph, failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. No Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.12 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified the Borrower that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 60 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have or reasonably should have become aware of such costs or reductions; provided that if the applicable change or introduction with respect to the relevant law or regulation giving rise to such costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 60 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. In the event the Borrower shall reimburse any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any cost and the Lender shall subsequently receive a refund in respect thereof, the Lender shall so notify the Borrower and shall pay to the Borrower the portion of such refund which it shall determine in good faith to be allocable to the cost so reimbursed.

SECTION 2.13. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein other than Section 2.14(c), if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written or telecopy notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be so converted as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

SECTION 2.14. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow any LIBOR Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (c) any payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, other than any loss of profit resulting from any event, circumstance or condition set forth in Section 2.12 or 2.13, (d) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise), (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default or (f) the assignment of a LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as the result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculation of such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.15. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.13 or as provided under Section 2.06(e), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees and Duration Fees and each conversion or continuation of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing, computed in accordance with Schedule II, to the next higher or lower whole of the Dollar amount. All payments of fees (other than the Commitment Fees and Duration Fees) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

SECTION 2.16. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or

in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in any Loans deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan or otherwise extended credit directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17. Payments. (a) Each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loans, any fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other amounts due hereunder (other than amounts referred to in clause (b) below) shall be made, without setoff or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 1 New York Plaza, 41st floor, New York, New York 10004, in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, except as provided in the definition of Interest Period, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

(c) Each payment by the Borrower of any Loan (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made or such cost, expense or other Obligation was incurred.

SECTION 2.18. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that no Transferee of any Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 2.18 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately before assignment, participation or other transfer with respect to the rights assigned, participated or transferred unless such assignment, participation or transfer shall have been made (A) prior to the occurrence of an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) giving rise to such greater payment or (B) at the request of the Borrower.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (herein referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.18(c)) paid by such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, if made in good faith, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.18 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) represents to the Borrower that, on the date such Lender (or such Transferee) becomes a party to this Agreement, it is eligible to receive payments of interest hereunder from the Borrower without withholding in respect of United States Federal withholding tax (except, in the case of a Transferee of any Lender, as a result of the occurrence of an event (including a change in treaty, law or regulation) after the date of this Agreement giving rise to withholding to which such Lender would be subject).

(g) Each Lender (or Transferee), other than a Transferee described in the exception in Section 2.18(f), that is not a “United States person,” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (or Transferee) establishing that payment made to such Lender (or Transferee) is (i) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code because such payments are effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender (or Transferee) of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty, or (iii) eligible for the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, in which case such Lender (or Transferee) shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. In addition, each such Lender (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, such

withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or within 30 days of any certificate or statement of exemption previously provided becoming incorrect. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding tax, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(h) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person,” shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (or Transferee) establishing that payment made to such Lender (or Transferee) is not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax under the Code. In addition, each such Lender (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(i) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is entitled to any exemption or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such Transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by law, or as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower, establishing that such payment is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, each such Lender (or such Transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(j) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) in respect of any withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or Transferee) to deliver the certificates, documents or other evidence required to be delivered under the preceding paragraph (g), (h) or (i) unless such failure is attributable to (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment or modification to or a revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case on or after the date such Lender (or Transferee) became a party to this Agreement.

(k) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to, at the expense of the Borrower, file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee).

(l) If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly repay such refund to the Borrower (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall obligate any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to apply for any such refund.

(m) Nothing contained in this Section 2.18 shall require any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems to be confidential).

(n) The Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent with respect to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes unless such Lender, Transferee or the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of the amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on or before the second anniversary of the date such Lender, Transferee or the Administrative Agent pays such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

SECTION 2.19. Assignment of Loans and Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event that (i) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.18 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution or other entity which shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the Borrower or the assignee, as the case may be, shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such termination or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder.

SECTION 2.20. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.21. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.22. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.23. Defaulting Lender.

(a) Reallocation of Payments. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.10) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest

extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, third to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fourth to pay principal then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, fifth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and sixth after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) [Reserved].

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.23(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Lender’s Ratable Portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with its Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date:

SECTION 3.01. Organization. The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation (or other entity, as applicable) and, where applicable, is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities or both makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The Borrower has (a) power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute, deliver and carry out the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, or to become a party to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of each other Loan Document, to borrow hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder, under each other Loan Document to which it is a party, and (b) all such action has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary proceedings, corporate or otherwise, on its part.

SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or other action by, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority (other than filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder) is necessary in connection with the Borrower’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the Borrower’s performance of or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof.

SECTION 3.05. No Conflict. None of the execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or performance by the Borrower of or compliance by the Borrower with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof will (a) violate any law, constitution, statute, treaty, regulation, rule, ordinance, order, injunction, writ, decree or award of any Governmental Authority to which it is subject, (b) conflict with or result in a breach or default under its charter or by-laws, (c) conflict with or result in a breach or default which is material in the context of this Agreement under any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, may be subject or bound or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien prohibited by Section 6.01 upon any property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of the Borrower.

SECTION 3.06. Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower has furnished to the Lenders copies of its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2013, all audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and the Borrower’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets as at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months and six months, as applicable, then ended.

(b) Such financial statements (including the notes thereto) present fairly the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of said balance sheets as at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and said statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows for the three months and six months, as applicable, then ended, to the absence of footnote disclosure and normal year-end audit adjustments), all in conformity with GAAP.

SECTION 3.07. No Defaults. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists which constitutes a Default or Event of Default hereunder. The Borrower is not in violation of (i) any term of its charter or by-laws or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be subject or bound where such violation is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Litigation. Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.06 or the Exchange Act Reports or otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.08, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of any of its Responsible Officers, threatened proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority against the Borrower or any or its Subsidiaries, which in the opinion of the Borrower’s counsel is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09. No Material Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of itself and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except, in the case of the Borrower, as disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, since December 31, 2013.

SECTION 3.10. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) U.S. Plans. Each Plan is in compliance with all requirements of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Reportable Event has occurred as to which the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate was required to file a report with the PBGC that alone or together with any other Reportable Event would reasonably be expected to result in a liability of the Borrower to the PBGC in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000. The aggregate present value of all benefit liabilities under the Plans (based on the assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the aggregate value of the assets of the Plans by more than 10% of Consolidated Net Worth. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Withdrawal Liability that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notification that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and no Responsible Officer of the Borrower has knowledge of any fact which would reasonably be expected to result in the reorganization or termination of a Multiemployer Plan where such reorganization or termination has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result, through increases in the contributions required to be made to such Plan or otherwise, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Foreign Plans. Each Foreign Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of the Borrower, its Affiliates or any of its or their directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction which would subject the Borrower, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Plan, adequate reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities, after giving effect to any such reserves for such liabilities, with respect to such Foreign Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened in writing against the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Plan which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets, except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes.

(b) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have complied with all material obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and all such leases are in full force and effect. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases.

SECTION 3.12. Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not an “investment company” as defined in, or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.13. Tax Returns. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to have been filed by it in all jurisdictions in which such tax returns are required to be filed and all such tax returns are true, complete and correct in all material respects. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have paid or caused to be paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves are maintained on the applicable financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 3.14. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. (a) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any material manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound, where such default would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15. No Material Misstatements. Except for information not prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower and expressly disclaimed thereby, no information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or included herein or delivered pursuant thereto contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading.

SECTION 3.16. Use of Proceeds; Federal Reserve Regulations.

(a) The proceeds of the Loans will be used to finance the Transactions (including repayment or redemption of the existing material indebtedness of the Target) and fees and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan to the Borrower will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of Regulations U and X.

SECTION 3.17. No Trusts. The Borrower is not entering into this Agreement in its capacity as trustee of any trust.

SECTION 3.18. Solvency. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are as of the Closing Date, upon giving effect to the Transactions and the making of the Loans and the application of proceeds thereof, on a consolidated basis, Solvent.

SECTION 3.19. FCPA. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

SECTION 3.20. Sanctions.

(a) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of the directors or officers of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Borrower’s knowledge, any of the employees, agents or controlled affiliates of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is a person that is, or, in the case of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, is majority-owned or controlled by a person that is (A) the subject of any Sanctions (a “Sanctioned Person”) or (B) located, organized or resident in a country or territory (including, without limitation, as of the date hereof, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) that is the subject of Sanctions that broadly restrict or prohibit dealings with that country or territory (a “Sanctioned Country”).

(b) No part of the proceeds of a Loan will be used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly, (A) to fund or facilitate activities or business of or with any person or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country or (B) in any other manner, in each case as would result in a violation of Sanctions by any person.

(c) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(d) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS.

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its Email address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s Email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such Email address.

(f) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

SECTION 9.05. Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, but without affecting the Borrower’s reimbursement obligation), from and against such Lender’s aggregate ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent any of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

SECTION 9.06. Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, whether or not a Successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of (x) the date that is 30 days after the giving by the existing Administrative Agent of a resignation notice pursuant to this Section 9.06 and (y) the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring

Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article IX as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or, solely with respect to any assignment made after the Closing Date, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided, further, that if the consent of the Borrower is required in connection with any assignment hereunder, the Borrower shall be deemed to have provided such consent unless it has notified the Administrative Agent of its refusal to give such consent within 10 Business Days of receiving a written request therefor; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, solely with respect to any assignment made after the Closing Date, an Approved Fund.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the

date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing);

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such fee in the case of any assignment;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E) in the case of an assignment to a CLO (as defined below), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 10.08(b) that affects such CLO.

For purposes of this Section 10.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” shall mean (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

“CLO” shall mean any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto with respect to the interests assumed and, to the extent of the interest assigned under such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.18 and 10.05).

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.04 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice thereof to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth above, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of the Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Ratable Portion of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (vi), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment and the Loans); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 10.08(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.14 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is

made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or unless the right to a greater payment results from a change in law after the Participant becomes a Participant with respect to such participation.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and the other provisions of this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse (subject to the Borrower’s written expense reimbursement policies as provided to the Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for all of each such person’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature incurred on or after June 1, 2014 (other than the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx LLP which shall be reimbursable regardless of when incurred), including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (which shall be limited to one primary counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel per each applicable jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, taken as a whole) and for documentary taxes and other charges incurred by each such person in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s negotiation or execution of any Loan Document, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (v) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (vii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (which shall be limited to one primary counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel per each applicable jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, and solely in the case representation of all such persons would (in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent) be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole), incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lenders in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Borrower, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any of the Borrower’s respective Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

(c) The Borrower agrees to hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Arranger and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel (which shall be limited to one primary counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel per each applicable jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, taken as a whole, and solely in the case representation of all such Indemnitees would (in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent) be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole)), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee (including in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Facility, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach by such Indemnitee of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section applies, such indemnity shall be effective, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. No Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of their respective security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from (x) such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (y) a material breach by such Indemnitee of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.05 and any other indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall (i) remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment in full of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or Lender, and (ii) inure to the benefit of any person that was at the time such claim arose an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower of any claims for indemnification or other protection under this Section 10.05; provided, however, that any failure by such person to deliver any such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations under this Section 10.05. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor, but shall be subject to the requirements of reasonableness and documentation as set forth herein.

SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent

permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or otherwise and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have; provided, however, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23, and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such rights of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT (A) THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DEFINITION OF “ACQUIRED BUSINESS MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT” AND WHETHER THERE HAS OCCURRED AN ACQUIRED BUSINESS MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT, (B) WHETHER THE ACQUISITION HAS BEEN CONSUMMATED AS CONTEMPLATED BY THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT AND (C) THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY THE TARGET ARE ACCURATE AND WHETHER AS A RESULT OF ANY INACCURACY OF ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS THE BORROWER (OR THE BORROWER’S APPLICABLE AFFILIATES) HAS THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE ITS (OR THEIR) OBLIGATIONS, OR HAS THE RIGHT NOT TO CONSUMMATE THE ACQUISITION, UNDER THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, PROVISIONS OR RULES (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any further notice or shall entitle the Borrower to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the

Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of any principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or date fixed for payment of any Commitment Fee or Duration Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Commitment Fees or Duration Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) release the Borrower from its obligations to repay the principal amount of any Loan owing to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (v) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or (vi) release any Subsidiary from its obligations under a Subsidiary Guarantee (if any) without the prior written consent of each Lender. Each Lender and each assignee thereof shall be bound by any waiver, consent, amendment or modification authorized by this Section. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that the terms of this Agreement are required to be modified as specified in the applicable provisions of the Fee Letter, then this Agreement shall be deemed modified (to the extent not adverse to the Lenders) in accordance therewith (and subject to the terms therein), effective immediately upon the written notice thereof being given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders without requiring any other action to be taken hereunder.

SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable to such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any fee arrangements related hereto constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the fee arrangements related hereto.

SECTION 10.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.11.

SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03.

SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction, Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding will be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) To the extent that any party hereto has, or hereafter may be entitled to claim, any immunity (whether sovereign or otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, such party hereby waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder and any other Loan Document to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 10.15(d) shall be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (as amended, and together with any successor legislation) and are, and are intended to be, irrevocable for purposes thereof.

SECTION 10.16. [Reserved].

SECTION 10.17. National Security Laws. (a) Each 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 Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE dated as of [—], among [ ] and [ ] (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) and XXXXXX XXXXXXX SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

A. Reference is made to the 364-Day Bridge Term Loan Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Alcoa Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto from time to time and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

C. Each Subsidiary Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and accordingly, desires to execute this Subsidiary Guarantee in order to satisfy the requirements described in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a principal obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of all Obligations of the Borrower (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon the provisions of this Subsidiary Guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of the guarantee set forth herein and notice of protest for nonpayment. No obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Subsidiary Guarantee or any other guarantee; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Subsidiary Guarantee or any other guarantee; or (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Subsidiary Guarantee or any other guarantee or any other agreement.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the guarantee set forth herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim or waiver, release,

D-1

surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, this Subsidiary Guarantee, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the defense of payment in satisfaction of such Obligation).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that this guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on such Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Guaranteed Obligation upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to such Agent in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation, and thereupon such Agent shall assign, in any reasonable manner, the amount of the Guaranteed Obligation paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Subsidiary Guarantee, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Guaranteed Obligation in question was discharged by such Subsidiary Guarantor, or make such other disposition thereof as such Subsidiary Guarantor shall direct (all without recourse to the Administrative Agent or any Lender and without any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Lender).

Upon payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby makes and agrees to be bound by all the representations, warranties and agreements set forth in Articles III, V and VI of the Credit Agreement.

This Subsidiary Guarantee shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Subsidiary Guarantee may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument.

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Anything contained in this Subsidiary Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable state, federal or provincial law (collectively, the “Fraudulent

Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect to the value of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Subsidiary Guarantee should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, none of the parties hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Credit Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if neither Xxxxx’x nor S&P shall have in effect a rating for any Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph), then both such rating agencies shall be deemed to have established ratings for such Index Debt in the lowest rating level; (b) if only one of Xxxxx’x and S&P shall have in effect a rating for any Index Debt, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined on the basis of such single rating; (c) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x or S&P for any Index Debt shall fall within different rating levels, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the rating level corresponding to the higher of such ratings, unless such ratings differ by two or more rating levels, in which case the Applicable Margin will be based upon the rating level one level below the rating level corresponding to the higher of such ratings; and (d) if any rating for any Index Debt established or deemed to have been established by Xxxxx’x or S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Xxxxx’x or S&P shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend the references to specific ratings to reflect such changed rating system or the non-availability of ratings from such rating agency, and pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the ratings of such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation shall be employed in determining the Applicable Margin.

Rockdale (Alcoa Inc)	North America		546,801.00	As of 2010, Rockdale had 1,198 acres of mined out land that qualified for the federal Abandoned Mine Land (AML) program. This program is part of the Surface Mining Reclamation Act of 1977. Reclaiming the land with federal money has produced a net increase in the market value of the land. Consequently, as part of the Texas Abandoned Mine Lands program, the Railroad Commission of Texas (RCT) has placed a lien on this property for $411,801. This lien is a fixed amount and is payable only upon sale of the subject property. The lien does not alter Alcoa’s right to lease or make other use of this land prior to its sale. In the past 24 months, RCT has applied AML funding to reclaim an additional 240 AML acres. As a result of a 2011 AML project on 90 acres of Alcoa Sandow Mine land, in September of 2013 RCT assessed an additional lien amount of $135,000. This brings the total lien amount to $546,801 on a total of 1,288 acres of Rockdale Energy Sandow Mine property. Prior to closing of a sale, Alcoa will need to clear the lien amount with the RCT.	Railroad Commission of Texas
