(b) Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that, on the Second Amendment Effective Date and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, each Issuing Bank shall have granted to such Revolving Lender, and such Revolving Lender shall have acquired from such Issuing Bank, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date equal to such Revolving Lenders’ ratable share (based on its Revolving Commitment and as automatically redetermined on the Second Amendment Effective Date based on the Revolving Commitments set forth on Schedule I hereto) of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such participation shall be governed by the terms of Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Parent Borrower represent and warrant that, on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date:

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable in connection with this Amendment to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or the Lenders and, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) required to be reimbursed or paid by Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Parent Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have received, for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank party to the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, all interest, fees and other amounts accrued but unpaid under the Credit Agreement in respect of periods prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date.

assumption, make available to the Borrower requesting such Committed Borrowing on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such 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 such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at:

Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Revolving Lender of each request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from such Borrower by sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.

(c) Discretion as to Competitive Bid Advances. Each Revolving Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Advances to the applicable Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Lender in its sole discretion, by notifying the Administrative Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to such Borrower), before 9:30 a.m. (Local Time) (A) on the Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Bid Advances, (B) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Bid Advances denominated in US Dollars and (C) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Bid Advances denominated in Euro, Sterling or Canadian Dollars or in any other Alternative Currency; provided that, if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Revolving Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify such Borrower of such offer at least 30 minutes before the time and on the date on which notice of such election is to be given by any other Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent. In such notice, the Revolving Lender shall specify the following:

(i) the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Competitive Bid Advance which such Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.07(a), exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment);

(ii) the rate or rates of interest therefor; and

(iii) such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office with respect to such Competitive Bid Advance.

If any Revolving Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent before 9:30 a.m. (Local Time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Administrative Agent by the other Revolving Lenders, and such Lender shall

not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided further that the failure by any Revolving Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.

(d) Selection of Lender Bids. The Borrower proposing the Competitive Bid Borrowing shall, in turn, (A) before 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Bid Advances, (B) before 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Bid Advances denominated in US Dollars and (C) before 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Bid Advances denominated in Euro, Sterling or Canadian Dollars or in any other Alternative Currency, either:

(ii) accept, in its sole discretion, one or more of the offers made by any Revolving Lender or Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c), by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Revolving Lender, for such Competitive Bid Advance pursuant to Section 2.07(c) to be made by each Revolving Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing) and reject any remaining offers made by Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c) by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect. Such Borrower shall accept the offers made by any Revolving Lender or Revolving Lenders to make Competitive Bid Advances in order of the lowest to the highest rates of interest offered by such Revolving Lenders. If two or more Revolving Lenders have offered the same interest rate, the amount to be borrowed at such interest rate will be allocated among such Revolving Lenders in proportion to the maximum amount that each such Revolving Lender offered at such interest rate.

If the Borrower proposing such Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies the Administrative Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is canceled pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i), or if such Borrower fails to give timely notice in accordance with this Section 2.07(d), the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Revolving Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

(e) Competitive Bid Borrowing. If the Borrower proposing such Competitive Bid Borrowing accepts one or more of the offers made by any Revolving Lender or Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify:

(i) each Revolving Lender that has made an offer as described in Section 2.07(c), whether or not any offer or offers made by such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(c) have been accepted by such Borrower;

(ii) each Revolving Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the date and amount of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Revolving Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; and

(iii) each Revolving Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Administrative Agent has received forms of documents appearing on their face to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article III.

When each Revolving Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing has received notice pursuant to Section 2.07(e)(iii), such Revolving Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Local Time), on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.07(e)(i), make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, in same day funds in the applicable currency, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such funds, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available in like funds to such Borrower at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 9.02. Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate.

(f) Irrevocable Notice. If the Borrower proposing such Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies the Administrative Agent that it accepts one or more of the offers made by any Revolving Lender or Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c), such notice of acceptance shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. Such Borrower shall indemnify each Revolving Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Revolving Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing for such Competitive Bid Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Revolving Lender to fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Revolving Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(g) Amount of Competitive Bid Borrowings; Competitive Bid Notes. Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of no less than the Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the sum of Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Competitive Bid Exposure then outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders. Within the limits and on the

conditions set forth in this Section 2.07, any Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.07, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 or repay pursuant to Section 2.07(h), and reborrow under this Section 2.07; provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made within two Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing. The indebtedness of any Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to such Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid Note of such Borrower payable to the Revolving Lender, or its registered assigns, making such Competitive Bid Advance.

(h) Repayment of Competitive Bid Advances. On the maturity date of each Competitive Bid Advance provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance, the applicable Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender that has made a Competitive Bid Advance the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance in the applicable currency. No Borrower shall have any right to prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance except on the terms set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.

(i) Interest on Competitive Bid Advances. Each Borrower that has borrowed through a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Competitive Bid Advance and on the interest payment date or dates set forth in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance. If any principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Advance payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable on such Competitive Bid Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid Advance under the terms of the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance unless otherwise agreed in such Competitive Bid Note.

(j) Independent Lender Obligations. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by it as part of any Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Competitive Bid Advance on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such other Revolving Lender on the date of any Competitive Bid Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08 LIBO/EURIBO/CDO/Euro Overnight Rate Determination.

(a) Methods to Determine LIBO/EURIBO/CDO/Euro Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) the LIBO Rate, the EURIBO Rate ~~and~~, the CDO Rate and the Euro Overnight Rate by using the methods described in the definitions of the terms “LIBO Rate”, “EURIBO Rate” ~~and~~, “CDO Rate” and “Euro Overnight Rate”, as the case may be, and shall give prompt notice to the Parent Borrower and the applicable other Borrowers and Lenders of such determinations.

(b) Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, (x) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Advance, EURIBO Rate Advance, CDO Rate Advance or Floating Rate Advance, the LIBO Rate, the EURIBO Rate or the CDO Rate, as the case may be, cannot be determined for such Interest Period or (y) in the case of any Swingline Advance, the Euro Overnight Rate cannot be determined at any time, in each case, by the method described in Section 2.08(a), then:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such LIBO Rate Advance, EURIBO Rate Advance, CDO Rate Advance or, Floating Rate Bid Advance or Euro Overnight Rate Advance, as the case may be;

(ii) with respect to each Advance bearing interest at the LIBO Rate that is denominated in US Dollars and made to the Parent Borrower or a Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary, such Advance will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Advance;

(iii) with respect to each Advance bearing interest at the CDO Rate, such Advance will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be automatically Converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Advance;

(iv) with respect to each Advance bearing interest at the LIBO Rate that is denominated in US Dollars (if made to a Borrower other than the Parent Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary) or in Sterling and each EURIBO Rate Advance, such Advance will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower; ~~and~~

(v) with respect to each Swingline Advance, such Advance will, on the first Business Day following the date of the notice referred to in clause (i) above, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower; and

~~(v)~~(vi) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances, Euro Overnight Rate Advances or the applicable Floating Rate Bid Advances, to Convert Base Rate Advances into LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Canadian Prime Rate Advances into CDO Rate Advances, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Parent Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.04(a)(i), 2.04(a)(ii), 2.04(a)(iii), 2.04(a)(iv) or, 2.04(a)(v) or 2.22(d).

(c) Inadequate LIBO/EURIBO/CDO Rate. If, with respect to any LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances or CDO Rate Advances, a Majority in Interest of Lenders of the applicable Class notifies the Administrative Agent that (i) in the case of any Borrowing of such Advances, they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market at or about the Specified Time on the Quotation Day for such Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during the Interest Period therefor or (ii) the LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or CDO Rate, as the case may be, for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority in Interest of Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class, whereupon (A) the Borrower of any such LIBO Rate Advances denominated in US Dollars will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (x) prepay such Advances or (y) if such Borrower is the Parent Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary, Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances, (B) the Borrower of any such CDO Rate Advances will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Canadian Prime Rate Advances, (C) the Borrower of any such LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Sterling or any such EURIBO Rate Advances will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, prepay such Advances and (D) the obligation of the Lenders of the applicable Class to make LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances or CDO Rate Advances, to Convert Base Rate Advances into LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Canadian Prime Rate Advances into CDO Rate Advances, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. In the case of clause (ii) above, each such Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 10 Business Days after the last day of such Interest Period.

(d) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section have arisen (including because the applicable Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of such Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of such Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate, the EURIBO Rate or the CDO Rate, as applicable, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans denominated in the applicable currency at such time in the United States, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (it being understood that such

amendment shall not reduce the Applicable Interest Rate Margin); provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement. Such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above, only to the extent the applicable Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi) of paragraph (b) of this Section shall be applicable.

SECTION 2.09 Fees.

(a) Unused Line Fee. The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of each Revolving Lender an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) on the aggregate daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s undrawn Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to any Competitive Bid Reduction) accruing at the Applicable Unused Line Fee Rate, in each case, from the ~~Closing~~Second Amendment Effective Date and until the Revolving Maturity Date, payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December until the Revolving Maturity Date and on the Revolving Maturity Date.

For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.04.

(ii) The Parent Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, in US Dollars, for its own account (A) a fronting fee (the “Letter of Credit Fronting Fee”), payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the ~~Closing~~Second Amendment Effective Date, and on the Revolving Maturity Date (and, if any Letter of Credit Exposure shall remain outstanding after the Revolving Maturity Date (other than any Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Post-Maturity Letters of Credit if alternative arrangements have been agreed with respect thereto by the Parent Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii)), on demand thereafter), on the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of the average daily amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum as may be separately agreed by the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Bank and (B) such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

This Section 2.09(c)(iii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 2.10 Termination or Reduction of Commitments and Extension of Revolving Maturity Date. ~~(a)~~

(a) Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Pro Rata Borrowings and ~~Competitive Bid Borrowings~~Swingline Advances. If, on any date, (i) the Aggregate Alternative Currency Exposure shall exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit or (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Competitive Bid Exposure shall exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, then (A) on the last day of any Interest Period for any Pro Rata Advances bearing interest at the LIBO Rate (in the case of clause (i) above, only if such LIBO Rate Advances are denominated in Sterling), the EURIBO Rate or the CDO Rate, and (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, on any other day on which any Pro Rata Borrowings bearing interest at the Base Rate or any Swingline Advances are

If, on any date, (i) the Aggregate Alternative Currency Exposure shall exceed 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit or (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Competitive Bid Exposure shall exceed 105% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, then the applicable Borrowers shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Pro Rata Borrowings (and, if no Pro Rata Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.21(h)) in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess and (2) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. The applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of any Advance hereunder in the manner and within the time period (or as soon thereafter as practicable) as set forth in Section 2.11(a) for an optional prepayment of an Advance of such Class and Type.

SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs.

(a) Costs from Change in Law or Authorities. If, due to either (i) the introduction after the date hereof of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements to the extent such change is included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation, application or administration of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request promulgated after the date hereof from any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender or Issuing Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances or to issue or participate or issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) taxes referred to in Section 2.15(a)(i), 2.15(a)(ii), 2.15(a)(iii), 2.15(a)(iv) or 2.15(a)(v)), then the Parent Borrower shall within 20 Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Reduction in Lender’s Rate of Return. In the event that, after the date hereof, the implementation of or any change in any law or regulation, or any guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation, application or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement (including, without limitation, a request or requirement which affects the manner in which any Lender or Issuing Bank or its parent company allocates capital resources to its Commitments and its other obligations hereunder) and as a result thereof, in the determination of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s or its parent company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s parent company with respect to capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirements), then in each such case, upon demand from time to time the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank within 20 Business Days after receipt by the Parent Borrower of demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such reduction in rate of return. A certificate of such Lender or Issuing Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Except as provided below, in determining any such amount or amounts each Lender and Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall take all reasonable actions to avoid the imposition of, or reduce the amounts of, such increased costs, provided that such actions, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank and, to the extent possible, each Lender will calculate such increased costs based upon the capital requirements for its Advances and unused Commitment hereunder and not upon the average or general capital requirements imposed upon such Lender.

(c) The Parent Borrower shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required by a central banking or financial regulatory authority with regulatory authority over such Lender to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including funds or deposits obtained in the London or the European interbank market, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate ~~Loan~~Advance, EURIBO Rate ~~Loan or~~Advance, CDO Rate ~~Loan~~Advance or Euro Overnight Rate Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocable to such ~~Loan~~Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the LIBO Rate ~~Loans~~Advances, EURIBO Rate ~~Loans or~~Advances, CDO Rate ~~Loans~~Advances or Euro Overnight Rate Advances, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or ~~Loan~~Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each

date on which interest is payable on such ~~Loan~~Advance; provided that the Parent Borrower shall have received a written notice requesting such additional interest or costs from such Lender at least 15 days prior to such date (and, in the event such notice shall have been delivered after such time, then such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days after receipt of such notice).

(d) Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; Basel III. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case be deemed to be a change in law or regulation after the date hereof regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(e) Requests for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions if such Lender or Issuing Bank fails to notify such Borrower within 180 days after it obtains actual knowledge (or, in the exercise of ordinary due diligence, should have obtained actual knowledge) and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall only be entitled to receive such compensation for any losses incurred by it or amounts to which it would otherwise be entitled from and after the date 180 days prior to the date such Lender or Issuing Bank provided notice thereof to such Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s claim for compensation therefor.

SECTION 2.13 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances, Euro Overnight Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances or to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances, Euro Overnight Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances (a) each LIBO Rate Advance or Floating Rate Bid Advance, as the case may be, of such Lender that is denominated in US Dollars and made to the Parent Borrower or a Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary will automatically, upon such demand, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.04(a)(i), as applicable, (b) each CDO Rate Advance or Floating Rate Bid Advance, as the case may be, of such Lender denominated in Canadian Dollars will automatically, upon such demand, be Converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.04(a)(v), as applicable, (c) each LIBO Rate Advance, EURIBO Rate Advance, Euro Overnight Rate Advance or Floating Rate Bid Advance, as the case may be, of such Lender denominated in Sterling or Euro will, upon such demand, be prepaid and (d) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances, Euro Overnight Rate Advances or the applicable Floating Rate Bid Advances, to Convert Base Rate

Advances into LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Canadian Prime Rate Advances into CDO Rate Advances, as applicable, shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, in each case, subject to Section 9.04(b) hereof; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances, Euro Overnight Rate Advances or the applicable Floating Rate Bid Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, Euro Overnight Rate Advances or the applicable Floating Rate Bid Advances, as the case may be, and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.14 Payments and Computations.

(a) Time and Distribution of Payments. The Parent Borrower and each other Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, without condition or deduction for any set-off, counterclaim, defense or recoupment, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent Account in same day funds, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be made to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender and payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 9.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent will distribute, in like funds, any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. From and after the effective date of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.07, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Advance or Letter of Credit Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Advance or Letter of Credit Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under the Holdco Guaranty Agreement shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of (i) interest based on the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (ii) interest on Borrowings denominated in Sterling and (iii) interest on Borrowings comprised of Canadian Prime Rate Advances shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, other than in the case of Borrowings denominated in Sterling, 366 days in a leap year). All computations of interest based on the LIBO Rate (other than in respect of Borrowings denominated in Sterling), the EURIBO Rate, the CDO Rate, Euro Overnight Rate or the New York Fed Bank Rate and of Unused Line Fees and Letter of Credit Participation Fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent, all computations of the Letter of Credit Fronting Fees shall be made by the applicable

Issuing Bank and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be made by the applicable Lender, in each case on the basis of a year of 360 days. All computations of interest in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days in the case of Floating Rate Bid Advances and on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days in the case of Fixed Rate Bid Advances, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Notice. Computations of interest or Unused Line Fees, Letter of Credit Participation Fees and Letter of Credit Fronting Fees shall in each case be made for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Letter of Credit Fronting Fees, by the applicable Issuing Bank and, in the case of Section 2.05, by the applicable Lender), of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Payment Due Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or Unused Line Fees, Letter of Credit Participation Fees or Letter of Credit Fronting Fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBO Rate Advances, EURIBO Rate Advances, CDO Rate Advances or Floating Rate Bid Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(d) Presumption of Borrower Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders of any Class hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender of such Class on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender of such Class shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of payments denominated in US Dollars, the higher of (A) the New York Fed Bank Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation in US Dollars or (ii) in the case of payments denominated in Sterling, Euro or Canadian Dollars, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation in the applicable currency.

SECTION 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower hereunder or under any Note or by Xxxxx Xxxxx under the Holdco Guaranty Agreement shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest, additions to taxes and expenses) with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, franchise taxes and

branch profits taxes imposed on it, in each case, as a result of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) being organized under the laws of the taxing jurisdiction, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its net income, franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed on it, in each case, as a result of such Lender having its Applicable Lending Office in the taxing jurisdiction, (iii) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed on it, and any tax imposed by means of withholding, in each case, to the extent such tax is imposed solely as a result of a present or former connection (other than a connection arising from such Lender or the Administrative Agent having executed, delivered, enforced, become a party to, performed its obligations, received payments, received or perfected a security interest under, and/or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to this Agreement, any Note or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement) between the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the taxing jurisdiction, (iv) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, any taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA, and (v) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, any Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Tax to the extent that such tax is imposed with respect to any payments pursuant to any law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto (or changes its Applicable Lending Office), except (A) to the extent of the additional amounts in respect of such taxes under this Section 2.15 to which such Lender’s assignor (if any) or such Lender’s prior Applicable Lending Office (if any) was entitled, immediately prior to such assignment or change in its Applicable Lending Office or (B) if such Lender becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance upon the demand of the Parent Borrower (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments by Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower hereunder or under any Note or by Xxxxx Xxxxx under the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, other than taxes referred to in this Section 2.15(a)(i), 2.15(a)(ii), 2.15(a)(iii), 2.15(a)(iv) or 2.15(a)(v), are referred to herein as “Taxes”). If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or Xxxxx Xxxxx shall be increased as may be necessary so that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) have been made, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and each other applicable Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, irrecoverable value-added tax or similar levies (other than Taxes, or taxes referred to in Sections 2.15(a)(i) to 2.15(a)(iv)) that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, any Note or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, other than any such taxes imposed by reason of an Assignment and Acceptance (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and each other Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed

by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to taxes and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), makes written demand therefor; provided, that if an applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) fails to provide notice to the Parent Borrower of the imposition of any Taxes or Other Taxes within 60 days following the actual receipt of written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes, there will be no obligation for Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower to make a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) in respect of any related penalties, interest, additions to taxes and reasonable expenses attributable to the period beginning after such 60th day and ending ten days after the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Lender or the Administrative Agent. Neither Xxxxx Xxxxx nor any Borrower will have any obligation to make a payment to an applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) in respect of any portion of any penalties, interest, additions to taxes and reasonable expenses that are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be).

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and each other applicable Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, shall provide each of the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and each other applicable Borrower with any form or certificate that is required by any United States federal taxing authority to certify such Lender’s entitlement to any applicable exemption from or reduction in, Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Tax in respect of any payments hereunder or under any Note (including, if applicable, two original Internal Revenue Service Forms X-0, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender that transfers its beneficial ownership through a participation), two original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by any applicable certification documents from each beneficial owner) and any other documentation reasonably requested by Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower, the other applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional forms or certificates (i) to the extent a form or certificate previously provided has become inaccurate or invalid or has otherwise ceased to be effective or (ii) as requested in writing by Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent or such other Borrower or, if such Lender no longer qualifies for the applicable exemption from or reduction in, Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Tax, promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower or such other Borrower of its inability to do so. Unless Xxxxx Xxxxx, the

Parent Borrower, such other Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents from each Lender satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under any Note or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement are not subject to Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Taxes or are subject to Home Jurisdiction U.S. Withholding Taxes at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower, such other Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold such taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for such Lender and Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower or such other Borrower shall pay additional amounts to the extent required by paragraph (a) of this Section 2.15 (subject to the exceptions contained in this Section 2.15).

(f) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Note or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, provide each of the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and each other applicable Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including, if applicable, Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower or the other applicable Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower or the other applicable Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional documentation (i) to the extent documentation previously provided has become inaccurate or invalid or has otherwise ceased to be effective or (ii) as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower or the other applicable Borrower. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) In the event that a Designated Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower, each Lender shall promptly complete and deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, at their request, to the applicable taxing authority, so long as such Lender is legally eligible to do so, any certificate or form reasonably requested in writing by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent and required by applicable law in order to secure any applicable exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of the applicable Home Jurisdiction Non-U.S. Withholding Taxes for which such Borrower is required to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a selection or change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender be otherwise materially economically disadvantageous to such Lender.

(i) No additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 with respect to any Tax to the extent such Tax would not have been payable had the Lender fulfilled its obligations under paragraph (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 2.15 as applicable.

(j) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, obtains a refund of any Tax for which payment has been made pursuant to this Section 2.15, or, in lieu of obtaining such refund, such Lender or the Administrative Agent applies the amount that would otherwise have been refunded as a credit against payment of a liability in respect of Taxes, which refund or credit in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (and without any obligation to disclose its tax records) is allocable to such payment made under this Section 2.15, the amount of such refund or credit (together with any interest received thereon and reduced by reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund or credit and by any applicable taxes) promptly shall be paid to Xxxxx Xxxxx or the applicable Borrower to the extent payment has been made in full by Xxxxx Xxxxx or such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(k) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Pro Rata Advances or Term Loans owing to it (other than pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.10(b)(iii), 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 9.04(b), 9.04(c) or 9.07(h)) or funded participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements or participations in Swingline Advances in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Pro Rata Advances, Term Loans or, participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements or participations in Swingline Advances obtained by all the applicable Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Pro Rata Advances, Term Loans ~~and~~, participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and participations in Swingline Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Pro Rata Advances, Term Loans ~~and~~, participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and participations in Swingline Advances; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Pro Rata Advances, Term Loans or, participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements or participations in Swingline Advances to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time). Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.17 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Lender Records; Pro Rata ~~and~~, Term Notes and Swingline Notes. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Class of ~~Committed~~ Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts and currencies of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of such ~~Committed~~ Advances. Each Borrower shall, upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Pro Rata Note or, a Term Note or a Swingline Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Pro Rata Advances or, Term Loans or Swingline Advances, as the case may be, owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Pro Rata Note or, a Term Note or a Swingline Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender, or its registered assigns, in a principal amount up to the Revolving Commitment or, Term Loan or Swingline Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.

(b) Record of Borrowings, Payables and Payments. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded as follows:

(i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Class, Type and currency of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it;

(iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and the Maturity Date applicable thereto; and

(iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Evidence of Payment Obligations. Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.17(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.17(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18 Commitment Increases.

(a) The Parent Borrower may from time to time (but not more than three times in any calendar year), by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank), executed by the Parent Borrower and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section 2.18 being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender at such Lender’s sole discretion, cause new Revolving Commitments or additional Term Loans or one or more tranches of additional term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Revolving Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (the aggregate amount of such extension of Revolving Commitments or increase in the existing Revolving Commitments for all Augmenting Lenders on any single occasion being referred to as a “Commitment Increase”; and any Commitment Increase or issuance of Incremental Term Loans on any single occasion, each, an “Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each Increase shall be not less than US$25,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.18(a), and (ii) the aggregate amount of all the Increases shall not exceed US$1,000,000,000. Each Augmenting Lender (if not then a Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Commitment Increase, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loans of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Increase together with the notice of such Increase being referred to collectively as the “Increase Amendment” in respect of such Increase). The Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.

(b) Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.18, if, on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Pro Rata Advances outstanding, such Pro Rata Advances shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of new Pro Rata Advances made hereunder (reflecting such Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Pro Rata Advances being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 9.04(b). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Increases and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as shall be agreed upon by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Increase or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become effective under this Section 2.18 unless on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 shall be satisfied as of such date (as though the effectiveness of such Increase were a Borrowing) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Parent Borrower to that effect dated such date.

(e) The Incremental Term Loans (x) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Advances, and (y) shall have identical terms as the Advances; provided that (i) if the Incremental Term Loans constitute additional Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall have identical terms as the existing Term Loans, and (ii) otherwise, (A) the Incremental Term Loans may mature and amortize differently than the Advances, and the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans and (B) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Advances.

SECTION 2.19 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and Letters of Credit shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) ~~to consummate the Refinancing and~~ for general corporate purposes of Xxxxx Xxxxx and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01); provided that any amendment, waiver or modification of a type described in clause (b), (c) or (d) of the first proviso in Section 9.01 that would apply to the Revolving Commitments or Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Letter of Credit Exposure or Swingline Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) ~~all or any part of~~the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.22(c)) and the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof attributable to Unreimbursed Amounts with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.21(f)) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders

that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable shares (based upon Revolving Commitments) but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ unpaid principal amount of Pro Rata Advances and Competitive Bid Advances plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (minus such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure) as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 are satisfied at such time; provided, that the respective allocations of each non-Defaulting Lender shall not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated and (B) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical in such clause (i)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21(h)(i) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided that neither any such reallocation (partial or otherwise) described in clause (i) above or this clause (ii), nor any payment by a non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a non-Defaulting Lender;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Participation Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposures of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ ratable shares (based upon Revolving Commitments); and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Participation Fees with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks, ratably based on the portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank, until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above; and

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

In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and the Parent Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Pro Rata Advances of the other Lenders (together with any break funding incurred by such other Lenders as a result of such purchase) and the Letter of Credit Exposures and Swingline Exposures of the Lenders shall be adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Revolving Commitment as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Pro Rata Advances ~~and~~, Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure in accordance with its pro rata portion of the total Revolving Commitments and clauses (a) and (b) above shall cease to apply.

SECTION 2.21 Issuance of, and Drawings and Reimbursement Under, Letters of Credit.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) Request for Issuance. Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies may be issued hereunder in a US Dollar Equivalent Amount that does not at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments minus the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Competitive Bid Exposure of the Revolving Lenders at such time or (ii) would result in the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender exceeding its Revolving Commitment, provided that (A) no Issuing Bank shall be required at any time to issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit that would result in (x) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures exceeding US$300,000,000, or (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank exceeding such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment and (B) a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall only be of a type approved for issuance hereunder by such Issuing Bank (it being understood and agreed that standby Letters of Credit shall be deemed of the type that is so approved). Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such earlier time as is referred to below) prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank. Each such notice by any Borrower of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be in

writing in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) face amount of such Letter of Credit (which must be in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall be on or prior to the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after the then-current expiration date at the time of such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary and the Borrower in advance of any such renewal; provided, further that, with the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, a Letter of Credit may be extended beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date (each such Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is later than five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, a “Post-Maturity Letter of Credit”) so long as the applicable Borrower shall Post-Maturity Cash Collateralize in accordance with Section 2.21(h)(ii) ~~any~~such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit); provided, further that no Letter of Credit may expire after the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date in respect of any Non-Extending Lenders under Section 2.10(b) if, after giving effect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Extending Lenders (including any New Lenders) for the period following such Revolving Maturity Date would be less than the Letter of Credit Exposure following such Revolving Maturity Date), (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for Letter of Credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (including, in connection with the issuance of a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or the renewal of a Letter of Credit, such that, after giving effect to such renewal, such Letter of Credit becomes a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, such documentation, including a reimbursement agreement, as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require in connection with such issuance or renewal) (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance. A Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower; provided, that notwithstanding such statement, the applicable Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. A Borrower may from time to time request that Letters of Credit be issued in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency. Any request for a Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 20 Business Days

(or such other date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion) prior to the date of the desired issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in the requested currency. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Issuing Bank thereof. Each Issuing Bank shall confirm to the Administrative Agent not later than ten Business Days (or such other date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion) after receipt of such request whether it can issue a Letter of Credit in the requested Alternative Currency. Any failure by an Issuing Bank to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a denial by such Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency. If one or more Issuing Banks confirms the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the applicable Borrower. If no Issuing Bank is able to issue a Letter of Credit in an additional currency under this Section 2.21(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 2.21 shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing, amending, renewing or extending such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (ii) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit would or could reasonably be expected to breach, violate or otherwise be inconsistent with any internal policy of such Issuing Bank or any law or regulation to which such Issuing Bank is, or would be upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, subject to or (iii) such Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency not approved for issuance, amendment, renewal or extension by such Issuing Bank.

(c) Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the US Dollar Equivalent Amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the aggregate US Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by it without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit Disbursement, the date and the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse a Letter of Credit Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(d) Participations in Letters of Credit. Except as otherwise described in Section 2.21(h)(ii) in connection with Letters of Credit issued or extended on or after the Cash Collateralization Date, upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank under Section 2.21(b), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have acquired from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in the amount for each Revolving Lender equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on its Revolving Commitment) of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments.

(e) Drawings Under Letters of Credit; Reimbursement; Interim Interest. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and each other Revolving Lender as to the US Dollar Equivalent Amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the payment date. The applicable Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice of such drawing, in the applicable currency for any amounts paid by such Issuing Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Pro Rata Borrowing that is comprised of Base Rate Advances in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Pro Rata Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such reimbursement payment when due, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Lender’s ratable share thereof (based on its Revolving Commitment). Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of its ratable share (based on its Revolving Commitment) of the Unreimbursed Amount, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Pro Rata Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders in US Dollars or, if requested by such Issuing Bank, the equivalent amount thereof in the applicable Alternative Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with US Dollars. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving

Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.21(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 2.21(e) to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall not constitute an Advance and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such Letter of Credit Disbursement. All such amounts paid by any Issuing Bank (whether or not the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of their ratable shares, based on Revolving Commitments, of such amounts have been paid to such Issuing Bank by the Revolving Lenders as provided above) and remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day, plus the Applicable Pro Rata Interest Rate Margin for Base Rate Advances for such day, plus, if such amount remains unpaid for more than three Business Days, 1%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Revolving Lenders shall not have any obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement made under any Post-Maturity Letter of Credit that occurs on or after the Revolving Maturity Date.

(f) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrowers under Section 2.21(e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, in each case, relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”)

(ii) the use that may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the applicable Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), the Lenders (including the applicable Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(v) payment under a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit against presentation to the Issuing Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; provided that the determination by the Issuing Bank to make such payment shall not have been the result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment);

(vi) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the applicable Borrower or the relevant currency markets generally;

(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender (including the applicable Issuing Bank), the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or

(viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Additional Issuing Banks. The Parent Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and such Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this Section 2.21(g) shall, upon entering into a Letter of Credit Agreement with the Parent Borrower, be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) hereunder.

(h) Cash Collateralization. (i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Pro Rata Advances has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(i), the Borrowers shall deposit (“Cash Collateralize”) in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to Cash Collateralize shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Parent Borrower described in Section 6.01(e). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement to the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures at such time or, if the maturity of the Pro Rata Advances has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposures representing greater than 50% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposures), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(ii) If any Post-Maturity Letters of Credit remain outstanding as of the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date (such date being referred to herein as the “Cash Collateralization Date”), the applicable Borrower shall, on the Cash Collateralization Date, deposit (“Post-Maturity Cash Collateralize”) in an account with each Issuing Bank that has issued any such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, in the name of such Issuing Bank and for the benefit of such Issuing Bank and, prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, the Revolving Lenders (each, an “Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 102% of the aggregate amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.04) of all outstanding Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. In addition, if (x) a Borrower requests that a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit be issued, or a Letter of Credit be renewed (or if any Letter of Credit is automatically renewed for an additional one-year period), such that, after giving effect to such renewal, such Letter of Credit becomes a Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, by an Issuing Bank after the Cash Collateralization Date but before the Revolving Maturity Date and (y) such Issuing Bank agrees to issue such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or renew such Letter of

Credit, then, as a condition to such issuance or renewal, the applicable Borrower shall deposit in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 102% of the amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.04) of such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit to be renewed, as applicable. Any such deposits pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(ii) shall be held by each applicable Issuing Bank in its Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank under each Post-Maturity Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over its Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of each Issuing Bank and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in each Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the applicable Issuing Bank to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank in respect of Post-Maturity Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed, fees related to such Post-Maturity Letters of Credit and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse such Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank in respect of Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If an Issuing Bank has issued more than one Post-Maturity Letter of Credit for which cash collateral was provided pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(ii), upon the cancellation, surrender, or payment of any such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Post-Maturity Letter of Credit shall promptly release cash collateral to the applicable Borrower equal to the difference between (A) the total available funds in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account and (B) 102% of the aggregate amount (as determined in accordance with Section 1.04) of all Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that remain outstanding. Promptly after the cancellation, surrender, or payment of all Post-Maturity Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank for which cash collateral was provided pursuant to this Section 2.21(h)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall return to the applicable Borrower all available funds, if any, in such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank LC Collateral Account. This Section 2.21(h) (ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 2.22 Swingline Advances.

(a) Each Swingline Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Swingline Advances to any Borrower in Euro from time to time during the period from the Second Amendment Effective Date and while the Revolving Commitments remain in effect, in an amount that will not result in (i) the US Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Advances of such Swingline Lender exceeding its Swingline Commitment, (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender exceeding the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender or (iii) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Aggregate Competitive Bid Exposure exceeding the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no Swingline Lender shall

be required to make a Swingline Advance to refinance an outstanding Swingline Advance. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Advances. The failure of any Swingline Lender to make any Swingline Advance shall not in itself relieve any other Swingline Lender of its obligations hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Swingline Lender to make any Swingline Advance required to be made by such other Swingline Lender).

(b) In order to request a Swingline Advance from any Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrower (or the Parent Borrower on its behalf) shall deliver to such Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a duly completed notice of Swingline Borrowing signed by its duly authorized officer and in the form of Exhibit G not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the day of such proposed Swingline Advance. Such notice (a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) the name of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the name of the applicable Swingline Lender, (iii) the requested date of such Swingline Advance (which shall be a Business Day and may be the date of the Notice of Swingline Borrowing) and the amount thereof requested to be made by the applicable Swingline Lender and (iv) the location and number of such Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. The applicable Swingline Lender shall, after receipt of such Notice of Swingline Borrowing, confirm with the Administrative Agent that it has received a copy thereof. Each Swingline Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth herein, make the requested Swingline Advance available, promptly after receipt of the applicable Notice of Swingline Borrowing, to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer of same day funds to the account specified in the applicable Notice of Swingline Borrowing on the requested date of such Swingline Advance.

(c) Each Borrower shall repay to each Swingline Lender the outstanding principal balance of each Swingline Advance made to such Borrower by such Swingline Lender on the earlier of the date that is the seventh Business Day after such Swingline Advance is made and the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that, on each date that a Pro Rata Borrowing denominated in Euro is made to a Borrower that shall have borrowed Swingline Advances, such Borrower shall repay all Swingline Advances that were outstanding on the date a Notice of Committed Borrowing with respect to such Pro Rata Borrowing was given.

(d) Each Swingline Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (i) the Euro Overnight Rate in effect from time to time plus (ii) the Applicable Pro Rata Interest Rate Margin set forth under the caption “LIBO/EURIBO/CDO/Euro Overnight Rate Spread” in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the date such Swingline Advance is due as provided in clause (c) of this Section. If any principal of or interest on any Swingline Advance payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, payable in arrears on the date referred to in clause (c) of this Section or, thereafter, on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum otherwise required to be paid on such Swingline Advance as provided above.

(e) Each Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., Local Time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Advances made by such Swingline Lender. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Advances in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s ratable share, based on its Revolving Commitment, of such Swingline Advance or Swingline Advances. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, as soon as practicable upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay in Euro to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Lender’s ratable share, based on its Revolving Commitment, of such Swingline Advance or Swingline Advances. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Advances pursuant to this paragraph (e) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph (e) by making available same day funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (e)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Advance acquired pursuant to this paragraph (e), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Advance shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by any Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of the applicable Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Advance after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph (e) and to the applicable Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the applicable Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Advance pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 7.01 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the Holdco Guaranty Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Borrower as required by the terms of this Agreement or at the request such Borrower, and any notice provided pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(iv), but otherwise no Agent shall ~~not~~ have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Xxxxx Xxxxx or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Issuing Bank or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

SECTION 7.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates or its or their directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or the Notes, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(g) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into whether any Affiliated Lender intends to acquire or has acquired any Loan or as to whether any Lender is at any time an Affiliated Lender and that, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, pursuant to the covenants of such Lender set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender shall have acquired any Term Loan hereunder, prior written notice from any Lender that such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, the Administrative Agent may deal with such Lender (including for purposes of determining the consent, approval, vote or other similar action of the Lenders or the Lenders of any Class), and shall not incur any liability for so doing, as if such Lender were not an Affiliated Lender.

SECTION 7.03 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment and the Advances made by it and any Letter of Credit issued by it and any Swingline Advance made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the Holdco Guaranty Agreement as any other Lender or, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Issuing Bank” ~~and~~, “Issuing Banks”, “Swingline Lender” and “Swingline Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 7.04 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Syndication Agent, any Revolving Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Syndication Agent, any Revolving Joint Lead Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement.

SECTION 7.05 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender (in each case, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to (a) in the case of any indemnity of the Administrative Agent, the respective amounts of the Revolving Credit Exposures, Term Loans and unused Commitments held by each Lender (or most recently outstanding and in effect) and (b) in the case of any indemnity of any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, the respective amounts of the Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Revolving Commitments held by each Revolving Lender (or most recently outstanding and in effect), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,

incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or the Notes or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender under this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or the Notes, in each case, to the extent relating to the Administrative Agent or, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as applicable, in its capacity as such (including, in the case of any Issuing Bank, any refusal by such Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or, such Issuing Bank’s or such Swingline Lender’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined as set forth in the first sentence of this Section) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or, such Issuing Bank, or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, 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 rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or the Notes to the extent that the Administrative Agent or, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Parent Borrower or the other Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender, any Lender or a third party.

SECTION 7.06 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower and, if the Administrative Agent shall have become a Defaulting Lender, may be removed at any time by the Required Lenders. Upon the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Parent Borrower so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing). 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 or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Parent Borrower so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be (a) a Lender and (b) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least US$500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that should the Administrative Agent for any reason not appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which it is under no obligation to do, then the rights, powers,

discretion, privileges and duties referred to in this Section 7.06 shall be vested in the Required Lenders until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.04 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. The resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 7.06 shall also constitute the resignation or removal, as applicable, of the London Agent.

SECTION 7.07 Syndication Agents and Joint Lead Arrangers. None of the Persons that have been designated as the Revolving Syndication Agents or the Revolving Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or obligations as a result of such designation or such titles hereunder, other than any obligations in their individual capacity as a Lender.

SECTION 7.08 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender (which term, as used in this Section 7.08, includes each Issuing Bank) an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(c), each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 7.08 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement and any Notes and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SECTION 7.09 Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder, the Holdco Guaranty or any related agreement or instrument by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective affiliates or branches. The exculpatory, indemnity and reimbursement provisions of this Article VII and Section 9.04 shall apply to any such sub-agent and affiliate, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents.

SECTION 7.10 Administrative Agent Satisfaction Right. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (a) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender hereunder to satisfy such

Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (b) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(d), 2.14(d), 2.21, 2.22 7.05 or 7.08, in each case in such order as shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other judicial proceeding relating to Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or Obligation under any Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, Obligations under Letters of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 9.04.

SECTION 7.12 ERISA Fiduciary Liability.

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, and (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (a) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14.

In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (a) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (b) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agents and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower, that:

(i) none of the Administrative Agent, the London Agent, the Revolving Joint Lead Arrangers, or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent or the London Agent under this Agreement or any documents related to hereto);

(ii) the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least US$50,000,000, in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E);

(v) no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Agents or any of their respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Advances, the Commitments or this Agreement.

The Agents hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Advances or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Advances or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

ARTICLE VIII

Guaranty

SECTION 8.01 Guaranty. The Parent Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the undertaking of the Parent Borrower contained in this Article VIII being the “Guaranty”) the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of each Designated Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), fees, expenses or otherwise and including each payment required to be made by any Designated Subsidiary in respect of any Letter of Credit (such obligations collectively being the “Designated Subsidiary Obligations”). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

SECTION 8.02 Guaranty Absolute. The Parent Borrower guarantees that the Designated Subsidiary Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks with respect thereto. The liability of the Parent Borrower under the Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Designated Subsidiary Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement;

(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Designated Subsidiary Obligations;

(d) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Designated Subsidiary Obligation; or

(e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Parent Borrower or any other Borrower.

The Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Designated Subsidiary Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Designated Subsidiary or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 8.03 Waivers.

(a) The Parent Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Designated Subsidiary Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against a Designated Subsidiary or any other Person or any collateral.

(b) The Parent Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Designated Subsidiary that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the obligations of the Parent Borrower under the Guaranty or this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Designated Subsidiary or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from such Designated Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Borrower in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the cash payment in full of the Designated Subsidiary Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty and the Revolving Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Designated Subsidiary Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Guaranty, or to be held as collateral for any Designated Subsidiary Obligations or other amounts payable under

the Guaranty thereafter arising. The Parent Borrower acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the Guaranty and that the waiver set forth in this Section 8.03(b) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 8.04 Continuing Guaranty. The Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Designated Subsidiary Obligations (including any and all Designated Subsidiary Obligations which remain outstanding after the Revolving Maturity Date) and all other amounts payable under the Guaranty, (ii) be binding upon each of the Parent Borrower and its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

Miscellaneous

SECTION 9.01 Amendments, Etc.; Limitations on Affiliated Lenders.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower or Xxxxx Xxxxx therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Parent Borrower (or, in the case of the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, signed by Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders (including Defaulting Lenders) affected thereby, Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Parent Borrower, do any of the following: (a) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.01 or, without the written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders, waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.02 or 3.03 (it being understood and agreed that any waiver or amendment of a representation, warranty, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any condition specified in Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.03 unless the amendment or waiver so provides), (b) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations, (c) reduce the principal of, or the amount or rate of interest on, the ~~Pro Rata~~ Advances ~~or the Term Loans~~, any Letter of Credit Disbursement or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (d) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the ~~Pro Rata~~ Advances ~~or the Term Loans~~ or the required date of reimbursement of any Letter of Credit Disbursement, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment (including any extension of the date by which the Closing Date must occur), (e) change the percentage of the Commitments (or Commitments of any Class) or of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the ~~Pro Rata Advances or~~ Term Loans, or the number of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class), that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.18 to be parties to an Increase Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders based on the amounts thereof outstanding), (f) release Xxxxx Xxxxx from any of

its obligations under the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or release the Parent Borrower from any of its obligations under Article VIII, (g) change Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (other than to extend the Revolving Maturity Date applicable to the Advances and Revolving Commitments of consenting Revolving Lenders and to compensate such Lenders for consenting to such extension; provided that (i) no amendment permitted by this parenthetical shall reduce the amount of or defer any payment of principal, interest or fees to non-extending Lenders or otherwise adversely affect the rights of non-extending Lenders under this Agreement and (ii) the opportunity to agree to such extension and receive such compensation shall be offered on equal terms to all the Revolving Lenders), (h) add any additional currencies in which any Advance must be made available by the Lenders, (i) change any provision of this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments of Lenders of any Class differently from Lenders of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each adversely affected Class or (j) amend this Section 9.01; provided further that no waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.04 in connection with any Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be effective unless consented to by all Lenders making Competitive Bid Advances as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; and provided further that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Issuing Bank in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement, (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of such Swingline Lender under this Agreement, (D) any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Classes) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Xxxxx Xxxxx, the Parent Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of Lenders under each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, and (DE) this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Parent Borrower as set forth in Section 2.08(d), 2.10(b)(ix) or 2.18(a) and (E) this Agreement and the Holdco Note Guaranty may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Xxxxx Xxxxx and the Parent Borrower to reflect any changes in the names of Xxxxx Xxxxx or the Parent Borrower as a result of the Merger Transactions and any related transactions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall have any right to (and no Affiliated Lender shall) (i) consent to any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, (ii) require any Agent or any Lender to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, (iii) otherwise vote on any matter relating to this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, (iv) attend (or receive notice of) any meeting (whether in person, by telephone or other means) with any Agent or any Lender, except any portion thereof attended (at the invitation of the Administrative Agent) by representatives of Xxxxx Xxxxx or the Parent Borrower, or receive any information or material (in whatever form) prepared by or on behalf of,

or otherwise provided by, any Agent or any Lender, other than any such information or material that has been made available by the Administrative Agent to Xxxxx Xxxxx or the Parent Borrower and any notices of borrowings, prepayments and other administrative matters in respect of its Term Loans required to be provided to it pursuant to Article II, or (v) make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against any Agent or any Lender with respect to the fiduciary duties of any Agent or any Lender or any other duties and obligations of such Persons under this Agreement, the Holdco Guaranty Agreement or any related document or instrument; provided that, without the prior written consent of such Affiliated Lender, no amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement shall (A) deprive any Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as Lender, of its share of any payments that Lenders of the same Class are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder or (B) affect any Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as Lender, in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect of such amendment, waiver or consent on the other Lenders of the same Class.

(c) If a proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower prior to the time when the Obligations have been paid in full, each Affiliated Lender shall acknowledge and agree that it is an “insider” under Section 101(31) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and, as such, the claims associated with the Term Loans and Term Commitments owned by it shall not be included in determining whether the applicable class of creditors holding such claims has voted to accept a proposed plan for purposes of Section 1129(a)(10) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or, alternatively, to the extent that the foregoing designation is deemed unenforceable for any reason, each Affiliated Lender shall vote (and hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent so to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lenders) in such proceedings in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders. To give effect to the foregoing right of the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of any Affiliated Lender with respect to the Obligations, each Lender that is an Affiliated Lender hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as such Affiliated Lender’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender or in its own name, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments as, in the opinion of such attorney, may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

(d) The provisions set forth in Sections 9.01(b), 9.01(c) and 9.01(d), and the related provisions set forth in each Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Affiliated Lender, constitute an irrevocable voting proxy coupled with a pledge in favor of the Administrative Agent with respect to voting obligations set forth in Section 9.01(c).

(e) It is acknowledged and agreed that, in the event any new Class of Incremental Term Loans is created pursuant to Section 2.18, the limitations set forth herein with respect to ownership and voting rights of any Affiliated Lender shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to the ownership of, or voting rights relating to, Incremental Term Loans of any such new Class.

(v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Holdco Guaranty Agreement, or any consent to any departure by Xxxxx Xxxxx or any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation,

Each Lender agrees that, if the Parent Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 9.07, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the

106

Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Advances) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

In addition, each Lender shall have the right to make any Advances to any Designated Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower through an affiliate or non-U.S. branch of such Lender designated by such Lender at its sole option; provided such designation and Advance does not, in and of itself, subject the Borrowers to greater costs pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15 than would have been payable if such Lender made such Advance directly.

107

(b) Termination. Upon the payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Subsidiary (and no Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Designated Subsidiary being outstanding) then, so long as at the time no Notice of Committed Borrowing, Notice of Swingline Borrowing or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing in respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Subsidiary” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Administrative Agent shall give promptly, upon and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from the Parent Borrower).
