For purposes hereof, a “related indemnified person” of an indemnified person means (1) any person controlled by, controlling or under common control with such indemnified person (an “affiliate”) and (2) the respective directors, officers, employees or agents of such indemnified person or any affiliate of such indemnified person, in each case, acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such indemnified person or any such affiliate.

You hereby acknowledge that each Commitment Party is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship, on an arm’s length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that each Commitment Party act or be responsible as a fiduciary to you, your management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. You and each Commitment Party hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary relationship and agree they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any transactions entered into between them. You also hereby acknowledge that each Commitment Party has not advised and is not advising you as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that you are consulting your own advisors concerning such matters to the extent you deem it appropriate.
You understand that each Commitment Party and its affiliates (collectively, the “Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research). Members of the Group and businesses within the Group generally act independently of each other, both for their own account and for the account of clients. Accordingly, there may be situations where parts of the Group and/or their clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with your interests. For example, the Group may, in the ordinary course of business, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for their own account or on behalf of other clients, including without limitation, trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of you or your affiliates or other entities connected with the Facility or the transactions contemplated hereby.
In recognition of the foregoing, you agree that the Group is not required to restrict its activities as a result of this Commitment Letter and that the Group may undertake any business activity without further consultation with or notification to you. Neither this Commitment Letter nor the receipt by any Commitment Party of confidential information nor any other matter will give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation, any duty of trust or confidence) that would prevent or restrict the Group from acting on behalf of other customers or for its own account. Furthermore, you agree that neither the Group nor any member or business of the Group is under a duty to disclose to you or use on your behalf any information whatsoever about or derived from those activities or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with such activities. However, consistent with the Group’s long-standing policy to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers, the Group will not use confidential information obtained from you except in connection with its services to, and its relationship with, you; provided, however, that the Group will be permitted to disclose information as provided in Section 7 above.
10. Assignments
Other than pursuant to the syndication provisions in paragraph 3 above, and by Commitment Parties to their respective affiliates as expressly provided for herein, this Commitment Letter and the commitments hereunder shall not be assignable by any party hereto, without the prior written consent of each other party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void ab initio).

Interest:
  At the Borrowers’ option, the Bank Loans denominated in U.S. dollars will bear interest based on the Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate (in each case, as defined below), except that all swingline borrowings will accrue interest based only at the Base Rate. Bank Loans denominated in Euros will bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, and Bank Loans denominated in other Committed Currencies shall bear interest at their local equivalent of the Eurocurrency Rate.
 
   
 
  A. Base Rate Option
 
   
 
  Interest will be at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days and payable quarterly in arrears. “Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (ii) the rate that the Bank Administrative Agent announces from time to time as its prime or base commercial lending rate, as in effect from time to time, and (iii) one-month LIBOR (determined as of such day) plus 1.00%.
 
   
 
  Base Rate borrowings will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon and (other than swingline borrowings) will require one business day’s prior notice.
 
   
 
  B. Eurocurrency Option
 
   
 
  Interest will be determined for periods to be selected by the Borrowers (“Interest Periods”) of one, two, three or six months (or with the consent of each Lender, nine or twelve months) and will be at an annual rate equal to (i) if the currency of such loans is U.S. Dollars, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the corresponding deposits of U.S. Dollars, plus the applicable Interest Margin, and (ii) if the currency of such loans is Euros, the rate per annum for deposits in Euros that appears on Reuters Page EURIBOR-01 (“EURIBOR”), plus the applicable Interest Margin.

  LIBOR will be determined by reference to the rate appearing on Reuters Screen Libor 01 for the applicable interest period (or on any successor or substitute page of such screen, or any successor to or substitute for such screen, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such screen, as determined by the Bank Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market).
 
   
 
  EURIBOR will be determined by reference to the rate appearing on Reuters Page EURIBOR-01 for the applicable interest period (or on any successor or substitute page of such page, or any successor to or substitute for such page, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page, as determined by the Bank Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to Euro deposits in the London interbank market).
 
   
 
  The term “Eurocurrency Rate” shall mean LIBOR and/or EURIBOR, as the context shall require.
 
   
 
  Interest will be paid at the end of each Interest Period or, in the case of Interest Periods longer than three months, quarterly, and will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Eurocurrency Rate will be adjusted for maximum statutory reserve requirements (if any) pursuant to terms to be agreed.
 
   
 
  Eurocurrency borrowings will require 3 business days’ prior notice and will be in minimum amounts to be agreed upon.
 
   
 
  At no time shall the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to the Term B Facility be less than 1.00% per annum.
 
   
 
  C. Interest Margins
 
   
 
  The applicable Interest Margin will be the basis points set forth in the following table.
                 
    Base Rate   Eurocurrency
    Loans   Rate Loans
Revolving Facility

Default Interest:
  Any principal or interest payable under or in respect of the Bank Facilities not paid when due shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum. Other overdue amounts shall bear interest at 2.00% per annum above the rate applicable to ABR loans.
 
   
Unused Commitment Fees:
  0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the commitments under the Revolving Facility (calculated on an actual/360-day basis) subject to a step-down to 0.375% based on a Net Total Leverage Ratio level to be agreed, payable (i) quarterly in arrears and (ii) on the date of termination or expiration of the commitments (the “Unused Commitment Fee”).
 
   
Letter of Credit Fees:
  The Borrowers shall pay (calculated on an actual/360-day basis) (a) to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the aggregate face amount of each Letter of Credit issued and (b) to the Bank Lenders under the Revolving Facility a participation fee equal to the applicable Interest Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit. Other customary administrative, issuance, amendment and other charges shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account.
 
   
Voluntary Prepayments and Commitment Reductions:
  The Borrowers may prepay, in whole or in part, the Bank Facilities, with prior notice but without premium or penalty (other than any breakage costs) and in minimum amounts to be agreed. Voluntary reductions to the unutilized commitments of the Revolving Facility may be made from time to time by the Borrowers without premium or penalty.
 
   
Mandatory Prepayments:
  Mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans shall be required from the following, subject to the Documentation Principles:

Application of Prepayments:
  Optional prepayments of the Term Facilities will be applied as directed by the Borrowers, but will be applied pro rata among the Bank Lenders within the selected Bank Facilities and subfacilities. Mandatory prepayments of the Term Facilities will be applied ratably between and within each of the Term Facilities in direct order of occurrence for the next eight immediately following scheduled amortization payments (based on the relative size of such scheduled amortization payments), and then applied ratably to the payment of the remaining scheduled amortization payments, on a pro rata basis between and within each of the Term Facilities.
 
   
Conditions Precedent to Initial Funding:
  Subject to Certain Funds Provisions on the Closing Date, the initial borrowings under the Bank Facilities shall be subject only to (a) the conditions set forth in Section 1 of the Commitment Letter, (b) the conditions set forth in Exhibit D to the Commitment Letter, and (c) the delivery to the Bank Administrative Agent of a notice of borrowing (along with one or more letter of credit requests, to the extent that the Borrowers are requesting the issuance of Letters of Credit on the Closing Date).
