During the Commitment Period any Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros, ABR Loans denominated in Dollars, or a combination thereof, as determined by any Borrower and notified to the Managing Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.
2.2.Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Any Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that such Borrower shall give the Managing Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Managing Administrative Agent prior to (a) 4:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans or (b) 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the same Business Day of the requested Borrowing Date, otherwise), specifying (i) the amount and Currency to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of LIBOR Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of LIBOR Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Revolving Credit Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor.

20



Each borrowing in Dollars under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to at least $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Commitments are less than $10,000,000, such lesser amount). Each borrowing under the Commitments in Euros shall be in an amount equal to at least €10,000,000 or a whole multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Commitments are less than $10,000,000, the Euro Equivalent of such lesser amount).
If no election as to the Currency of a borrowing is specified, then the requested borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of a borrowing is specified, then the requested borrowing shall be in ABR Loans unless Euros have been specified, in which case the requested borrowing shall be in LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Upon receipt of any such notice from any Borrower, the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Except as contemplated by subsection 2.13(c), each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Managing Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Managing Administrative Agent’s Account prior to 2:00 P.M., Local Time, to the extent the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans, or 4:00 P.M., New York City time, otherwise, on the Borrowing Date requested by the applicable Borrower in funds immediately available to the Managing Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Managing Administrative Agent crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Managing Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Managing Administrative Agent.
2.3.Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Managing Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on the average daily Commitment of such Lender, whether or not utilized, from and including the first day of the Commitment Period until the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Such facility fee shall be payable quarterly in Dollars in arrears on each Quarterly Date, on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during any period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any facility fees accruing during such period pursuant to this Section 2.3 on the amount of its Commitment equal to the average daily unutilized portion thereof during such period (without prejudice to the rights of the Swing Line Lenders in respect of such facility fees).
2.4.Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company shall have the right, upon not less than one Business Day’s notice to the Managing Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments, provided that (a) after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments and (b) a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice (and any required prepayments) may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Managing Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.

21



2.5.Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Managing Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made to such Borrower by such Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7), in the Currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made. Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof in the same currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made and at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.9.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Managing Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 9.6(d), and a record therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount and Currency of each Revolving Credit Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Managing Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the Register and the records of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the applicable Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Managing Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such record, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving Credit Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Each Borrower agrees that, upon request to the Managing Administrative Agent by any Lender, each Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of such Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Revolving Credit Note”).
2.6.Prepayment of Loans. (a) Optional Prepayments. Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.6 and Section 2.17, in the Currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and promptly upon the receipt by the Managing Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Managing Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loan that is denominated in Euros shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in Euros of such Revolving Credit Loan, determined as of such Quarterly Date or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Managing Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency

22



Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company thereof.
(ii) Prepayment. If, on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments as then in effect, the Managing Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and within three Business Days of the delivery of such notice each applicable Borrower shall prepay its Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments as then in effect.
For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Lenders to the Managing Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Managing Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. The Managing Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one valuation determination pursuant to Currency Valuation Notices within any three‑month period.
Any prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be applied, first, to Swing Line Loans outstanding and second, to Revolving Credit Loans outstanding.
(c) Notices, Etc. Prepayments pursuant to Section 2.6(a) may be made upon at least two Business Days’ irrevocable notice from the applicable Borrower to the Managing Administrative Agent, if such prepayment is to be applied in whole or in part to LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice if such prepayment is to be applied in whole or in part to LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros, and upon same day notice otherwise (which notices shall be made on the relevant day not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time or, in the case of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Euros, 11:00 A.M., London time), specifying the date, Currency and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans, or a combination of LIBOR and ABR Loans, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17, provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the applicable Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Managing Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (i) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) with respect to Loans denominated in Euros, €10,000,000 or a whole multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof. Prepayments of any Swing Line Loan shall be as provided in subsection 2.13(a).
2.7.Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Any Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Managing Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of such LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Any Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the Managing Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to LIBOR Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Managing Administrative Agent shall

23



promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) no Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Managing Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate, (ii) no Swing Line Loan may be converted into a loan that bears interest at any rate other than the ABR, (iii) a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in one Currency may not be converted to a Revolving Credit Loan in a different Currency and (iv) a LIBOR Loan denominated in Euros may not be converted to a Loan of a different Type.
(b) Any LIBOR Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrower giving notice to the Managing Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans, provided that (i) no LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Managing Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) no LIBOR Loan denominated in Euros may have an Interest period of more than one month’s duration when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Managing Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have made such determination, (iii) a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in one Currency may not be continued as a Loan in a different Currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original Currency of such Revolving Credit Loan and reborrowed in the other Currency and (iv) no LIBOR Loan denominated in Euros may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Commitments; and provided, further, that if the applicable Borrower shall fail to give such notice or if such continuation is not permitted such Revolving Credit Loans shall (in the case of failure to give such notice, if such Borrower would have then been entitled to select a one month Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan) be automatically converted to LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period or, in all other cases (if such Loan is denominated in Dollars), be converted to ABR Loans.
2.8.Minimum Amounts of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be equal to (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment) and (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Euros, €10,000,000 or a whole multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof (except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment). In no event shall there be more than ten LIBOR Tranches outstanding at any time.
2.9.Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the applicable London Interbank Offered Base Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each ABR Loan and Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Revolving Credit Loan or Swing Line Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon, (iii) any facility fee or (iv) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of any such overdue principal, the

24



rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of any such overdue interest, facility fee or other amount, the rate applicable to ABR Loans pursuant to subsection 2.9(b) plus 2% per annum, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such overdue principal, interest, facility fee or other amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(d) Interest on Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(e) Payments of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in the same Currency in which the Revolving Credit Loan was made.
2.10.Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Whenever it is calculated by reference to the defined term “ABR”, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, interest and the facility fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Managing Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of a London Interbank Offered Base Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Managing Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Managing Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
2.11.Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Managing Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each London Interbank Offered Base Rate in the event that (i) such rate is not available on the Screen for any reason and (ii) there are at least three Reference Banks. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Managing Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Managing Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks (provided that no Reference Bank shall have a contractual obligation to provide such rate and no fewer than three Reference Banks have provided such rate).
(b) The Managing Administrative Agent shall give to the Company and the Lenders prompt notice of the applicable interest rate determined by the Managing Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.9(a) and the applicable rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the applicable interest rate under Section 2.9(a). In addition, the Managing Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Managing Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 2.9(a) or 2.7(b).
(c) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for Revolving Credit Loans denominated in any Currency (the Currency of such Loans herein called the “Affected Currency”):
(i) fewer than three Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Managing Administrative Agent for determining the London Interbank Offered Base Rate of the

25



Affected Currency with respect to an Interest Period for which the London Interbank Offered Base Rate is not available on the Screen; or
(ii)the Required Lenders notify the Managing Administrative Agent that the London Interbank Offered Base Rate for any Interest Period for such Affected Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of funding or maintaining their respective LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period
the Managing Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, and during such period until such circumstances described in paragraph (i) and (ii) above cease to exist, (x) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) if the Affected Currency is Euros, any request to make LIBOR Loans in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective, (z) any conversion or continuation request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Credit Loans to, or the continuation of any Revolving Credit Loans as, LIBOR Loans denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Revolving Credit Loans (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Managing Administrative Agent (it being understood that the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly withdraw any such notice if the circumstances described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above cease to exist) (A) no further LIBOR Loans denominated in the Affected Currency shall be made or continued as such, nor (B) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Managing Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to Euros, the Managing Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company and the Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to any outstanding LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros, until (1) the Managing Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the first sentence of this Section 2.11(c), (2) the Managing Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Company (and, if such notice is given by the Required Lenders, the Managing Administrative Agent) that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros, or (3) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to fund or maintain Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Managing Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof.
(d) Each Reference Bank may resign at any time. If any Reference Bank shall resign, then the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent shall consult and use reasonable efforts to agree on a replacement Reference Bank, provided that (i) in the event that no such agreement is reached within thirty days, the Managing Administrative Agent may designate a Lender as such replacement Reference Bank, subject to such Lenders agreeing, in its sole discretion, to act as a Reference Bank and (ii) such Reference Bank’s resignation shall be effective whether or not a replacement Reference Bank has been previously appointed.
(e) Each Borrower agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any information relating to a rate provided by a Reference Bank, except that such information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis, (b) as consented to by the applicable Reference Bank, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,

26



provided that in connection with any such requirement by a subpoena or similar legal process, the applicable Reference Bank is given prior notice to the extent such prior notice is permissible under the circumstances (or if prior notice is not practicable or permitted by law, notice of such disclosure as promptly thereafter as practicable to the extent permitted by law), (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or (e) to the extent such information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 2.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Company or a Subsidiary Borrower on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Managing Administrative Agent or the applicable Reference Bank or its Affiliates.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Managing Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Managing Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Company) that the Required Lenders have determined, that:
(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the London Interbank Offered Base Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the London Interbank Offered Base Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)the supervisor for the administrator of the London Interbank Offered Base Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Managing Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the London Interbank Offered Base Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),
then, after such determination by the Managing Administrative Agent or receipt by the Managing Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Managing Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace London Interbank Offered Base Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the London Interbank Offered Base Rate (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Managing Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Managing Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein.
2.12.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.18(d), each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans by each Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Company on account of any facility fee hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by each Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then

27



held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Managing Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Managing Administrative Agent’s Account, in immediately available funds. The Managing Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. All amounts owing under this Agreement (including facility fees, payments required under Section 2.15 and payments required under Sections 2.16 and 2.17 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in Euros or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.16 or 2.17, which are payable in Euros) are payable in Dollars.
(b) Unless the Managing Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its allocable share of such borrowing available to the Managing Administrative Agent, the Managing Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Managing Administrative Agent, and the Managing Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Managing Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Managing Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average New York Fed Bank Rate (or, with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, at the average rate per annum at which overnight deposits in Euros in an amount approximately equal to the amount which respect to which such rate is being determined, would be offered for such day by a branch or Affiliate of the Managing Administrative Agent in the applicable offshore interbank market for such Currency to major banks in such interbank market) for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Managing Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Managing Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Managing Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Managing Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder (or, with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, at the rate per annum applicable to LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros), on demand, from the applicable Borrower. If any such Lender shall subsequently pay its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing with interest thereon to the Managing Administrative Agent, the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
2.13.Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) in Dollars to the Company from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount of such Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender outstanding at any time, when added to such Lender’s Swing Line Exposure (including, as applicable, in its capacity as Swing Line Lender) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitment of such Lender at such time and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $2,000,000,000. If the aggregate amount of all Swing Line Commitments is at

28



any time less than $2,000,000,000 (such shortfall, the “Swing Line Commitment Shortfall”), the Company may designate one or more of the other existing Lenders as Swing Line Lenders (it being understood that the Swing Line Commitments of any such Lender may, at the option of such Lender, exceed its Commitment), having Swing Line Commitments in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Swing Line Commitment Shortfall; provided that no Lender may be so designated unless it agrees in its sole discretion to act in such capacity. The Swing Line Commitment of each Swing Line Lender (unless otherwise agreed by such Swing Line Lender) shall be reduced as follows: (x) upon any reduction of the Commitment of any Lender that is also a Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4, the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Line Lender shall be reduced by the same proportion as such Commitment is so reduced and (y) upon any assignment by such Swing Line Lender of all or any portion of its Swing Line Commitment pursuant to subsection 9.6(c) and the assumption by the relevant assignee of the amount of such Swing Line Commitment so assigned, the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Line Lender shall be reduced by the amount of its Swing Line Commitment so assigned. During the Commitment Period, the Company may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swing Line Loans shall bear interest based upon the ABR and shall not be entitled to be converted into loans that bear interest at any other rate. The Company shall give the relevant Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Managing Administration Agent) irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof). The proceeds of the Swing Line Loan will be made available by such Swing Line Lender to the Company at the office of such Swing Line Lender by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date by crediting the account of the Company at such office with such proceeds. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Swing Line Loans of such Swing Line Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by notifying such Swing Line Lender prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Business Day of the date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof.
(b) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Managing Administrative Agent for the account of each Swing Line Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7). The Swing Line Loans shall, at the request of any Swing Line Lender, be evidenced by and repayable with interest in accordance with a promissory note of the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement, with appropriate insertions (a “Swing Line Note”), payable to such Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of the Company to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Ling Lender or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans owing to such Swing Line Lender, with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.9. Each Swing Line Lender is hereby authorized to record the Borrowing Date, the amount of each Swing Line Loan made by such Swing Line Lender and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of the Swing Line Note of such Swing Line Lender and any such recordation shall constitute conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the accuracy of the information so recorded, provided that the failure by such Swing Line Lender to make any such recordation shall not affect any of the obligations of the Company under such Swing Line Note or this Agreement. Each Swing Line Note shall (a) be dated the Second Restatement Effective Date, (b) be stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (c) bear interest for the period from the date thereof until paid in full on the unpaid principal amount

29



thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable interest rate per annum determined as provided in, and payable as specified in, Section 2.9.
(c) Any Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs each Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request each Lender, including each Swing Line Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan that shall be initially an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans of such Swing Line Lender outstanding on the date such notice is given (the “Outstanding Swing Line Loans”). Unless any of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall have occurred with respect to the Company (in which event the procedures of paragraph (e) of this Section shall apply) each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Managing Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Lender at the Managing Administrative Agent’s Account prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay such outstanding Swing Line Loans. Effective on the day such Revolving Credit Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans, shall no longer be due under each Swing Line Note of such Swing Line Lender and shall be evidenced as provided in subsection 2.5(b).
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Swing Line Lender shall be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have not been satisfied.
(e) If prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to subsection 2.13(c) one of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Company, each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice in subsection 2.13(c), purchase an undivided participating interest in each Outstanding Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to (i) its Commitment Percentage times (ii) the principal amount of such Swing Line Loan then outstanding. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the relevant Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and upon receipt thereof such Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(f) Whenever, at any time after any Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Swing Line Loan of any Swing Line Lender, such Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to such Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by such Swing Line Lender to it.
(g) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans referred to in subsection 2.13(c) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 2.13(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Company may have against any Swing Line Lender, the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or termination of the Commitments; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

30



(h) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any Swing Line Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, resign as a Swing Line Lender, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than three Business Days after the date of such notice); provided that (i) no Swing Line Lender may so resign unless both (x) such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure cannot be fully reallocated under Section 2.21(c)(i) and (y) the Company fails to comply with its obligations under Section 2.21(c)(ii) and (ii) such resignation by a Swing Line Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans or on the obligations of the Company, any Lender or any other Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swing Line Loans.
2.14.Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans denominated in any Currency as contemplated by this Agreement then, on notice by such Lender to the Company through the Managing Administrative Agent, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Loans denominated in such Currency, continue LIBOR Loans denominated in such Currency as such and, if such Currency is Dollars, convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled, (b) if such Currency is Dollars, such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law and (c) if such Currency is Euros, such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans denominated in Euros, if any, shall be repaid on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or repayment of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.17.
2.15.Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i)shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);
(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the London Interbank Offered Base Rate hereunder; or
(iii)shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender in Dollars such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

31



(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding liquidity or capital adequacy requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding liquidity or capital adequacy requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender in Dollars such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15, it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Managing Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and of the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to such paragraph for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, and provided, further, that no Lender shall claim any additional amounts pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 unless such Lender is generally seeking similar reimbursement from similarly situated borrowers and the compensation claimed pursuant to such paragraphs is not in excess of the corresponding amounts that such Lender is seeking from such similarly situated borrowers. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Managing Administrative Agent), describing the basis for the calculation of such amounts, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(d) For purposes of Section 2.14 and this Section 2.15, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (ii) rules, regulations, orders, requests, 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 have been adopted and gone into effect after the date of this Agreement.
(e) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14, 2.15(a), (b) or (c) or payment of additional amounts under Section 2.16 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event or reducing additional amounts payable under Section 2.16; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15(a), (b) or (c), or 2.16.

32



(f) For the purposes of this Section 2.15, each reference to the defined term “Lender” shall be deemed to include each Swing Line Lender.
2.16.Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless required by applicable law. If any such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, (i) the relevant Borrower or the Managing Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such withholding and shall pay the full amount withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the amounts so payable to the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the relevant Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the Managing Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent. If the relevant Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Managing Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The relevant Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Managing Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document; provided that such Borrower shall not pay any such Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.20) that result from a present or former connection between a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax, other than a connection arising from such Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Managing Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(b)(i)(x) and (i)(y) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial

33



position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions or successors thereto) certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal withholding tax. To the extent it is legally entitled to do so, each Lender that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:
(i)on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent), deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent (x) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable (together with any applicable underlying United States Internal Revenue Service forms and other certification documents), or any subsequent versions or successors thereto, (y) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming, in each case, exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 (as applicable) and the applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (z) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of United States federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(ii)deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent; and
(iii)obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent;
unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, certify that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 9.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section, provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.
(c) If a payment made to the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement and any Notes would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA

34



if the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Managing Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(d) If the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including a refund that the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, has elected to apply on its tax return for the following year) of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification or payment of additional amounts and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
(e) For the purposes of this Section 2.16, each reference to the defined term “Lender” shall be deemed to include each Swing Line Lender.
(f) For the purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Second Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
2.17.Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making either (i) a borrowing of LIBOR Loans or (ii) a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans, in each case after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any

35



prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.4 or 2.6 and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (c) the making of either (i) a prepayment of LIBOR Loans or (ii) a conversion of LIBOR Loans, in each case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall constitute an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount of such Loan denominated in the Currency of such Loan so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans denominated in such Currency provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount denominated in such Currency on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Lender. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.18.Commitment Increases. (a) In the event that the Company wishes to increase the aggregate Commitments, it shall notify the Lenders (through the Managing Administrative Agent) of the amount of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Offer”). Each Commitment Increase Offer shall offer the Lenders the opportunity to participate in the increased Commitments ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. In the event that any Lender (each, a “Declining Lender”) shall fail to accept in writing a Commitment Increase Offer within 10 Business Days after receiving notice thereof, all or any portion of the proposed increase in the Commitments offered to the Declining Lenders (the aggregate of such offered amounts, the “Declined Amount”) may instead be allocated to any one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities pursuant to paragraph (b) below and/or to any one or more existing Lenders pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii) below.
(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity (each, a “New Lender”) which, with the consent of the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment in an amount equal to all or any portion of a Declined Amount, shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”) with the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1, whereupon such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Lender.
(c) Any Lender which (i) accepts a Commitment Increase Offer pursuant to subsection 2.18(a) or (ii) with the consent of the Company elects to increase its Commitment by an amount equal to all or any portion of a Declined Amount shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement (each, a “Commitment Increase Supplement”) with the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender.
(d) If on the date upon which a bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Lender pursuant to subsection 2.18(b) or upon which a Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.18(c) there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, each Borrower shall

borrow Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders and/or (subject to compliance by the applicable Borrower with Section 2.17) prepay Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders (which borrowings and prepayments may be on a non-ratable basis) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans (including, without limitation, the Types thereof and Interest Periods with respect thereto) shall be held by the Lenders (including for such purposes the New Lenders) pro rata according to their respective Commitment Percentages.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section cause (x) the aggregate Commitments to exceed an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect on the Second Restatement Effective Date or (y) unless otherwise agreed by the Managing Administrative Agent, an increase in the aggregate Commitments of an amount less than $50,000,000, (ii) the aggregate amount of any increase in Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.18(b) and (c)(ii) shall be limited to the relevant Declined Amount and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.
2.19.Commitment Extensions. (a) The Company may, not earlier than 75 days and not later than 45 days before any anniversary of the Second Restatement Effective Date (each, an “Anniversary Date”), but no more than twice in total, by notice to the Managing Administrative Agent, request that the Revolving Credit Termination Date then in effect (the “Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date”) be extended to the date 364 days after the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request.
(b) Each Lender, in its sole discretion, shall advise the Managing Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension. If a Lender agrees to such extension (an “Extending Lender”), it shall notify the Managing Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later than 30 days prior to such Anniversary Date. A Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment shall so notify the Managing Administrative Agent promptly after making such determination and is herein called a “Non-Extending Lender”. If a Lender does not give timely notice to the Managing Administrative Agent of whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension, it shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender; provided that any Non-Extending Lender may, with the consent of the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent (such consent of the Managing Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld), subsequently become an Extending Lender by notice to the Managing Administrative Agent and the Company.
(c) The Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination not earlier than 30 days and not later than 20 days prior to the relevant Anniversary Date.
(d) The Company shall have the right to accept Commitments from New Lenders, each of which shall be acceptable to the Managing Administrative Agent, in an aggregate amount not exceeding the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders, provided that the Company may in its sole discretion, offer to Extending Lenders the option to increase their Commitments (each such Lender being herein called an “Increasing Lender”) up to the aggregate amount of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments before substituting any New Lenders for Non-Extending Lenders.
(e) If and only if (i) more than 50% of the total of the Commitments is extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any New Lenders, and (ii) immediately prior to the relevant Anniversary Date no Default has occurred and is continuing and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Anniversary Date as though made on and as of such date, and subject to each New Lender having

37



executed a New Lender Supplement (on the effective date of which such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement), then effective on such Anniversary Date the Commitment of each Extending Lender shall be extended to the date 364 days after the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) which date shall thereafter be the Revolving Credit Termination Date; the increased Commitment of each Increasing Lender and the new Commitment of each New Lender shall take effect on such Anniversary Date; the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders shall be reduced pro rata on such Anniversary Date to the extent of such increased and new commitments and appropriate adjustments shall be made on such Anniversary Date to cause any then-outstanding Loans of the Lenders to be held on a pro rata basis among all Lenders; the remaining Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender (including, if such Non-Extending Lender is a Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Swing Line Commitment) shall terminate on the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date; and each applicable Borrower shall pay in full on the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date all amounts payable to each Non-Extending Lender hereunder.
2.20.Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or an Objecting Lender, or if any Lender is a Non-Extending Lender, or, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Lender does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 9.1 but requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Managing Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) and consents to such change, waiver, discharge or termination, as the case may be, provided that:
(i)the Managing Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 9.6(e);
(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.17) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
2.21.Defaulting Lenders. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:

38



(a) the facility fees set forth in Section 2.3 shall cease to accrue on the unutilized Commitment of such Defaulting Lender as provided in said Section 2.3;
(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any prepayment of Loans shall, if the Company so directs at the time of the making of such prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding;
(c) if any Swing Line Loan is outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment); provided that (i) the sum of the total outstanding principal amounts of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and its Swing Line Exposure (including, as applicable, in its capacity as Swing Line Lender) may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (ii) subject to Section 9.21, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Managing Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and
(ii)to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the proviso in clause (a) above or otherwise, the Company will, not later than five Business Days after demand by the Managing Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Swing Line Lenders) either, at its option, (A) prepay (subject to clause (d) below) in full the unreallocated portion thereof or (B) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with procedures reasonably acceptable to the Managing Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lenders for so long as such Swing Line Exposure is outstanding, such prepayment and cash collateralization to be applied ratably to the outstanding Swing Line Loans of all of the Swing Line Lenders (and, until such prepayment and cash collateralization shall occur, the facility fees that would otherwise have been payable to such Defaulting Lender but for the last sentence of Section 2.3 and Section 2.21(a) shall instead be paid ratably to the Swing Line Lenders).
(d) any amount paid by any Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Managing Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.22) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Managing Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Managing Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lenders (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third if so determined by the Managing Administrative Agent or requested by a Swing Line Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swing Line Loan, fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such

39



Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Managing Administrative Agent, fifth, if so determined by the Managing Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, and sixth after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loan unless it is satisfied that the related exposure of the Defaulting Lender will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, and participating interests in any such newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with paragraph (c)(i) and (c)(ii) of this Section.
(f) the Company may (a) terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Managing Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders hereof), and in such event the provisions of this Section will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by any Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Managing Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
2.22.Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Managing Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lenders agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Managing Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.21(c), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Managing Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the total outstanding principal amounts of Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loans of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of each Lender and the Swing Line Loans will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.23.Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers.
(a) Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.23, the Company may, at any time and from time to time upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice (a “Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation”) to the Managing Administrative Agent (or such shorter period which is reasonably acceptable to the Managing Administrative Agent), request that a Subsidiary specified in such notice become a party to this Agreement as a Borrower. Each Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation shall specify the name of such Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of organization, the proposed effective date of such designation and such other information relating thereto reasonably requested by the Managing Administrative Agent. The Managing Administrative Agent

40



shall upon receipt of a Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation from the Company promptly notify each Lender thereof. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.23 (but subject to the paragraph (d) of this Section 2.23), such Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as a Borrower hereunder and shall be entitled to borrow Revolving Credit Loans on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such designation. If the designation of such Subsidiary Borrower obligates the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or other similar checks and identification requirements and procedures under any applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall (or shall cause such Subsidiary Borrower to), promptly upon the request of the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender (through the Managing Administrative Agent), supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply therewith (but which in no event shall be more onerous, taken as a whole, than the equivalent documents delivered by the Company on the date hereof).
(b) Conditions Precedent to Designation Effectiveness. The designation by the Company of any Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder shall become effective on the date on which the Managing Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following documents (each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent in form and substance, but which in to event shall be more onerous, taken as a whole, than the equivalent documents delivered by the Company on the date hereof), provided that the Managing Administrative Agent shall not have received a Lender Objection Notice pursuant to this Section that has not been withdrawn by the relevant Lender:
(i)Subsidiary Borrower Designation. A Subsidiary Borrower Designation, duly completed and executed by the Company and the relevant Subsidiary, delivered to the Managing Administrative Agent;
(ii)Opinion of Counsel. If requested by the Managing Administrative Agent, a favorable written opinion of external counsel to such Subsidiary Borrower (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent), as to such matters as the Managing Administrative Agent may request, and the Company and such Subsidiary Borrower hereby instruct such counsel to deliver any such opinion;
(iii)Corporate Documents. Such documents and certificates as the Managing Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including certified copies of the organizational documents of such Subsidiary and of resolutions of its board of directors authorizing such Subsidiary becoming a Borrower hereunder, and of all documents evidencing all other necessary corporate or other action required with respect to such Subsidiary becoming party to this Agreement); and
(iv)Other Documents. Receipt of such other documents relating thereto as the Managing Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request (including any information requested by the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.23).
(c) Termination of Subsidiary Borrowers. The Company may, at any time, terminate a Subsidiary Borrower as a Borrower hereunder by delivering to the Managing Administrative Agent a written notice thereof (each a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or any other form approved by the Managing Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice furnished hereunder

41



shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the Managing Administrative Agent (which shall promptly so notify the Lenders), whereupon all commitments of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans to such Subsidiary hereunder shall terminate and such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder. If, at the time of any such termination, any Revolving Credit Loans or any other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are outstanding to the relevant Subsidiary, the Company shall assume all such obligations as primary obligations pursuant to an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent, and upon such assumption, such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from such obligations without any further action by any party.
(d) Lender Objection. Any Lender may object to the designation or continuation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder by notifying the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent thereof in writing (such Lender, an “Objecting Lender”, and such notice, a “Lender Objection Notice”) in the following circumstances:
(i)with respect to any designation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower in a jurisdiction other than an Eligible Foreign Jurisdiction, if such Lender may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Non-U.S. Subsidiary because of its jurisdiction of organization or whose internal policies preclude any such lending, establishing credit and/or doing business with respect to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary because of its jurisdiction of organization, and any Lender Objection Notice delivered as a result of the circumstances in this clause (i) shall be delivered as soon as practicable (but in any event not more than five Business Days) following such Lender’s receipt of a Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation with respect to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary, or
(ii)with respect to the designation or continuation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower in any jurisdiction, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall make it illegal for any Lender to lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with a Non-U.S. Subsidiary organized in such jurisdiction;
provided that (x) any Lender which is relying solely on such internal policies as the basis for providing an such an objection pursuant to clause (i) above may provide a Lender Objection Notice only if such policies are being applied by such Lender to all similarly situated borrowers seeking loans or other extensions of credit from or with respect to doing business in such jurisdiction; (y) prior to the delivery of a Lender Objection Notice, each Lender that may be an Objecting Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate (or identify) a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary hereunder or to assign (or identify for purposes of assignment of) its rights and obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Loans to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate the need for a Lender Objection Notice and, in the sole judgment of such Lender, would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense; and (z) if, pursuant to clause (y) above, such Lender shall assign its rights and obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Loans to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary hereunder to an Affiliate, such Lender shall, to the extent of Revolving Credit Loans made to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Revolving Credit Loans to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that, at the request of the Managing Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Affiliate shall deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such deemed assignment).

42



In the event that the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent receive a Lender Objection Notice with respect to any Non-U.S. Subsidiary that has not been withdrawn by the applicable Objecting Lender, then (A) in the case of a Lender Objection Notice delivered pursuant to clause (i) above, the Company may not deliver a Subsidiary Borrower Designation with respect to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.23 (and any such Subsidiary Borrower Designation shall be ineffective) and (B) in the case of a Lender Objection Notice delivered pursuant to clause (ii) above, (1) all commitments of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans to such Subsidiary hereunder shall terminate and such Non-U.S. Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (and any request by such Non-U.S. Subsidiary to borrow or continue Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall be ineffective), (2) if, at the time of any such termination, any Revolving Credit Loans or any other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are outstanding to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary, the Company be deemed to have automatically assumed all such obligations as primary obligations (and, if so requested by the Managing Administrative Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver an instrument of assumption in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent, whereupon such Subsidiary shall be released from such obligations without any further action by any party) and (3) the Managing Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the delivery of such Lender Designation Notice and such termination.
Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.23 (including the provisions of paragraph (a) hereof and this paragraph (d)), nothing herein shall preclude the Company from submitting thereafter another request for designation of such Non-U.S. Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder.
(e) Notices. Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Subsidiary Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.23 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein.
(f) Liability Several and Not Joint. The Subsidiary Borrowers shall be liable solely for the obligations under the Loan Documents directly incurred by such Subsidiary Borrower and shall not be responsible for the obligations of the Company under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Managing Administrative Agent and each Lender, and, to the extent that any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower is a party hereto, such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower represents and warrants (solely as to itself and solely with respect to the representations set forth in Section 3.19) to the Managing Administrative Agent and each Lender that:
3.1Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied

43



consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein).
3.2No Change. Since December 31, 2017 there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.3Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (provided that no representation is made under this clause (a) with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Subsidiary Borrower) if the failure of such Subsidiary to be duly organized, validly existing or in good standing as aforesaid could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than that of its organization) where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of clause (b), (c) or (d) above, to the extent that the failure to have such power, authority and legal right, to qualify as a foreign entity or to be in good standing or to comply with any Requirement of Law could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.4Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver, and perform the Loan Documents and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents except consents, authorizations, filings or notices that if not obtained or made, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower enforceable against the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
3.5No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, except to the extent that such violation or imposition of Liens could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.6No Material Litigation. Except as listed on Schedule 3.6 or as disclosed in any public filing made by the Company prior to the date hereof, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or

44



revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.7No Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
3.8Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.2, except in any such case to the extent that it could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.9Intellectual Property. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the “Intellectual Property”). No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of any valid basis for any such claim, except for such claims that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.10No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.11Taxes. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Company, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except (a) the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge other than any Lien permitted under Section 6.2(a) or any Lien that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.12Federal Margin Regulations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose (whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used directly or indirectly for the purpose (whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of buying or carrying Margin Stock in violation of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Managing Administrative Agent, the Company will furnish to each Lender and the Managing Administrative Agent a statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form FR U-1 or FR G-3, as appropriate, referred to in Regulation U, to demonstrate the compliance of any borrowing hereunder with Regulation U.

45



3.13ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except to the extent that the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred (other than via a “standard termination” as defined in Section 4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has arisen, during such five-year period that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The excess, if any, of the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Single Employer Plans), as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, over the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Company or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the best knowledge of the Company, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The excess, if any, of the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Company for post retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) over the assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.14Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower is subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
3.15Material Subsidiaries. As of the Second Restatement Effective Date, Schedule 3.15 lists each Material Subsidiary of the Company (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Company therein), in each case existing on September 30, 2018.
3.16Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Company and its Subsidiaries solely for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
3.17Environmental Matters. Except to the extent any of the following could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:
(a) To the best knowledge of the Company, the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute or constituted a violation of, or (ii) could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law.
(b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated

46



by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”) which could materially interfere with the continued operation of the Properties or materially impair the fair saleable value thereof.
(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does the Company have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.
(d) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.
3.18Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Company has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and, to the knowledge of the Company, its employees, affiliates and agents are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors or officers, or (b) to the knowledge of the Company, any employee, affiliate or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No borrowing, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.
3.19Representations and Warranties of Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers. Each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower severally represents and warrants that:
(a) to ensure the validity, enforceability and admissibility in evidence of this Agreement against such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, it is not necessary that this Agreement or any other document be filed or recorded with any Governmental Authority other than such filings and recordations that have already been made; and (b) this Agreement is in proper legal form under the law of the Relevant Jurisdiction of such Subsidiary Borrower for the enforcement thereof against such Subsidiary Borrower, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and all formalities required in the Relevant Jurisdiction of such Subsidiary Borrower for the validity, enforceability and admissibility in evidence of this Agreement have been accomplished, and no notarization is required, for the validity, enforceability and admissibility in evidence thereof, except as has been obtained and is in full force and effect or unless not required to be made until the relevant document is sought to be enforced.
(b) this Agreement and the obligations evidenced hereby are and will at all times be direct and unconditional general obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower, and rank and will at all times rank in right of payment and otherwise at least pari passu with all other unsecured Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter outstanding. There exists no Lien (including any Lien arising out of any attachment, judgment or execution), nor any segregation or other preferential arrangement of any kind, on, in or with respect to any of the property or revenues of such Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except as expressly permitted by Section 6.2.

47



(c) such Subsidiary Borrower is subject to civil and commercial law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by such Subsidiary Borrower of this Agreement constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or government acts. Neither such Subsidiary Borrower, nor any of its properties or revenues, is entitled to any right of immunity in any jurisdiction from suit, court jurisdiction, judgment, attachment (whether before or after judgment), setoff or execution of a judgment or from any other legal process or remedy relating to the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement.

5.1Financial Statements. Furnish to each Lender:

SECTION 8. THE MANAGING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
8.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Managing Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Managing Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Managing Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Managing Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Managing Administrative Agent.
8.2Delegation of Duties. The Managing Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be

58



entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Managing Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
8.3Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Managing Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Managing Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Managing Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
8.4Reliance by Managing Administrative Agent. The Managing Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Managing Administrative Agent. The Managing Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Managing Administrative Agent. The Managing Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required hereunder) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Managing Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required hereunder), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
8.5Notice of Default. The Managing Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default consisting of failure of any Borrower to pay when due any principal of or interest on a Loan) hereunder unless the Managing Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Managing Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Managing Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Managing Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Managing Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Managing Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

59



8.6Non-Reliance on Managing Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Managing Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Managing Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Managing Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Managing Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Managing Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Managing Administrative Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Managing Administrative Agent hereunder, the Managing Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of the Managing Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
8.7Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Managing Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Managing Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, (including, without limitation, enforcement of the Managing Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section) any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Managing Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Managing Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
8.8Managing Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Managing Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower as though the Managing Administrative Agent were not the Managing Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Managing Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Managing Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Managing Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

60



8.9Successor Managing Administrative Agent. The Managing Administrative Agent may resign as Managing Administrative Agent upon 15 days’ notice to the Lenders, and the Managing Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent (provided that it shall have been approved by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)), shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Managing Administrative Agent hereunder. Effective upon such appointment and approval, the term “Managing Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the former Managing Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Managing Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Managing Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Managing Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Managing Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Managing Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.10Substitute Managing Administrative Agent. If at any time Citibank or the Company reasonably determines that Citibank is prevented from carrying out its functions as Managing Administrative Agent hereunder as contemplated hereby, Citibank or the Company, as the case may be, shall forthwith so notify the Company or Citibank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent (and Citibank shall promptly so notify the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall thereupon automatically assume and perform all of the functions of the Managing Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of the Managing Administrative Agent hereunder, until and only until such time as Citibank and the Company determine, and notify the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) that Citibank is no longer prevented from carrying out its functions as Managing Administrative Agent hereunder as contemplated hereby, whereupon Citibank shall automatically resume and perform all of the functions of the Managing Administrative Agent hereunder. Each Lender agrees to the foregoing and authorizes the Administrative Agent to assume and perform the functions of the Managing Administrative Agent under the circumstances set forth above.
8.11Arrangers, Etc. The parties designated on the cover page hereof as “Joint Lead Arranger”, “Joint Book Manager”, “Global Coordinator”, “Regional Coordinator”, “Syndication Agent” or “Documentation Agent” shall have, in their capacities as such, no responsibilities or liabilities under or in connection with this Agreement.
8.12Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, any (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Managing Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Subsidiary Borrower party to this Agreement, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

61



company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(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 Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Managing Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Managing Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary or Subsidiary Borrower party to this Agreement, that the Managing Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Managing Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS
9.1Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section or as provided in Section 2.18 or 2.19. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Managing Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrowers written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Managing Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (ii) reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section or amend, modify or waive subsection 9.6(a) or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of

62



Required Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or release or terminate the obligations of the Company under Section 10, so long as any Subsidiary Borrower is a party hereto or the Company has the right to so designate a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the then Managing Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of any Loan Document that adversely affects any Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such without the written consent of such Swing Line Lender or (v) amend, modify or waive Section 2.12 of this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata payment and sharing provisions contained therein, without the consent of each Lender affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Managing Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Managing Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, alter the terms of this proviso, or require consent of all the Lenders will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that it will provide to the Managing Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Managing Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) requests, or converts or continues under Section 2.7 hereof, a borrowing or relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MANAGING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE COMPANY’S OR THE MANAGING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
(d) The Managing Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Managing Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Managing Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents, provided that the notice is received by such Lender during its normal business hours. Each Lender agrees (i) to provide to the Managing Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication), promptly after the date of this Agreement, an e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
(e) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

9.3No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
9.4Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.
9.5Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Managing Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single primary counsel and, to the extent reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each Relevant Jurisdiction, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the amendment, modification or waiver thereof, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Swing Line Lender and the Managing Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section), the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single primary counsel and, to the extent reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each Relevant Jurisdiction (except that in the case of a conflict of interest, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses of one additional counsel for each group of similarly situated Lenders, taken as a whole) to the Lenders and the Managing Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender, each Swing Line Lender, the Managing Administrative Agent, their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all other claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section), the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the foregoing whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other person or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto, or any of the foregoing relating to any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or arising out of the Commitments (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to indemnified liabilities or expense (i) arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or Affiliates, or arises primarily out of a material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) resulting from any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that does not involve an act or

70



omission by the Company or any of its Affiliates and that is solely among Indemnified Parties (other than claims against the Managing Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as such hereunder). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent (i) such unintended recipients received such information or materials as a result of such Indemnitee’s violation of its confidentiality obligations hereunder or (ii) as a result of such Indemnitee, its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or Affiliates’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct). The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.6Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), except that pursuant to Section 2.23(c) any Subsidiary Borrower may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to the Company pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent, and (ii) no Lender may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a Defaulting Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (other than Ineligible Persons) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment or Swing Line Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers and the Managing Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No Lender shall be entitled to create in favor of any Participant, in the participation agreement pursuant to which such Participants participating interest shall be created or otherwise, any right to vote on, consent to or approve any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for those specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) of the proviso to Section 9.1. The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in subsection 9.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 2.16 with respect to its participation in the Commitments, Swing Line Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.16, such Participant shall have complied with the

71



requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions, including a finance company or fund (whether a corporation, partnership or other entity) which is engaged in making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and having total assets in excess of $500,000,000 (other than Ineligible Persons) (such bank or financial institution, an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that
(i)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or, subject to giving prior written notice thereof to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of a Lender which is a bank or financial institution, each of the Managing Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and (except when a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Company must give its consent to such assignment (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Managing Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after written notice of such assignment shall have delivered to the Company to the attention of its Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer;
(ii)the rights and obligations of each Swing Line Lender relating to its Swing Line Loans and Swing Line Commitment may be assigned or retained, at its option, independently of any of its other rights and obligations under the Loan Documents in connection with any assignment otherwise permitted hereunder;
(iii)in the case of any assignment to any Assignee that is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Swing Line Commitments being assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Swing Line Commitments remaining with the assigning Lender are each not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent); and
(iv)such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit H, executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Company and the

72



Managing Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Managing Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment or Swing Line Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (f) of this Section, the consent of the Company shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by any Borrower, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing.
(d) The Managing Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the address of the Managing Administrative Agent referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) and Currency of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, the Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice or any other provisions hereof to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Managing Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 and (if the Assignee is not a Lender) delivery to the Managing Administrative Agent of such Assignee’s Administrative Questionnaire, the Managing Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the applicable Borrower.
(f) The Company authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any

73



pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with applicable law.
9.7Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each of them to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Company or such relevant Borrower; provided that no such set-off and application may be made against amounts attributable to the clearing and settlement services provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
9.8Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
9.9Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
9.10Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
9.11Termination of Commitments and Swing Line Commitments. The Commitments and Swing Line Commitments shall terminate if the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4.1 shall not be satisfied on or before November 30, 2018.

74



9.12GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9.13Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State and County of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Managing Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages.
(f) Each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section in any court referred to therein. The Company hereby agrees to accept such appointment by each Subsidiary Borrower party hereto from time to time and to give such Subsidiary Borrower prompt notice upon receipt of, and to forward promptly to such Subsidiary Borrower, all papers served upon the Company pursuant to such appointment. Such designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each Subsidiary Borrower until such Subsidiary Borrower shall have been terminated as a Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 2.23(c). If the Company shall cease so to act as such agent, each such Subsidiary Borrower covenants and agrees to notify the Managing Administrative Agent promptly thereof and to designate irrevocably and appoint without delay another such agent satisfactory to the Managing Administrative Agent and to deliver promptly to the Managing Administrative Agent evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment.
9.14Acknowledgements. The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) neither the Managing Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan

75



Documents, and the relationship between Managing Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrowers and the Lenders; and
(d) the Managing Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Swing Line Lender and each of their respective Affiliates may have conflicting economic interests with those of the Borrower, its stockholders, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates.
9.15WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OBLIGOR, THE MANAGING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
9.16Waiver of Immunity. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent that any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower may be or become entitled to claim for itself or its property any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement.
9.17Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence. The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in any Specified Currency shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Managing Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

SECTION 10. GUARANTEE
10.1Guarantee. The Company (for purposes of this Section 10, the “Guarantor”) hereby guarantees to each Lender, each Swing Line Lender and the Managing Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to each Subsidiary Borrower, and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Managing Administrative Agent by each Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor hereby further agrees that if any Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. The Guarantor agrees that this guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
10.2Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor under Section 10.1 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 10 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(i)at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii)any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted; or
(iii)the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with.

78



The Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Managing Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.3Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 10 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Managing Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by the Managing Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration pursuant to the terms of the indemnity set forth in Section 9.5.
10.4Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 10.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
10.5Remedies. The Guarantor agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as between the Guarantor on the one hand and the Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the other, the obligations of any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 7) for purposes of Section 10.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Subsidiary Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by such Subsidiary Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for purposes of Section 10.1.
10.6Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 10 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising until the expiration or termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other amounts payable hereunder.
