A. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide (i) term loans in connection with the refinancing of certain indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries Mercury Air Centers, Inc. (“Mercury”) and SJJC Aviation Services, LLC (“SJJC”), the funding of a one-time distribution to the Investor to enable the repayment of certain indebtedness incurred by MIC in connection with the acquisition of indirect ownership of Mercury and SJJC, and certain other purposes permitted hereunder; (ii) capital expenditure loans to fund certain capital projects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; and (iii) a revolving credit facility for general working capital purposes and to issue letters of credit.
 
B. The Lenders are willing to provide such financing to the Borrower subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower is willing to execute and deliver this Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions provided herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
 
INTERPRETATION
 
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings specified in Appendix A. The rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix A shall apply to this Agreement.
 
ARTICLE II
 
THE CREDIT FACILITIES
 
Section 2.1 Term Loan Facility.
 
(a) Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make term loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower during the Term Loan Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Each Term Loan shall be made as part of a single Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the Term Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Term Loans shall be available in not more than one Borrowing in an amount not exceeding $900,000,000 in the aggregate for the purposes specified in Section 2.7(a).
 

 
(b) Term Loan Borrowing Procedures.
 
(i) To request the Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Term Loan Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed, which Borrowing Request specifies:
 
 
(A)
the aggregate amount of the requested Term Loan Borrowing;
 
 
(B)
the proposed date of the Term Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and
 
 
(C)
the proposed use of the proceeds thereof.
 
The Term Loan Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing, but in any case not earlier than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, ten (10) Business Days before the date of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing.
 
(ii) Promptly following receipt of the Term Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.1, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Term Loan Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Term Loan Borrowing. Each Term Loan Lender shall make each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Term Loan Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent provided by the Borrower.
 
(iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Term Loan Lender prior to the proposed date of the Term Loan Borrowing that such Term Loan Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Term Loan Lender’s share of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Term Loan Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(ii) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Term Loan Lender has not in fact made its share of the Term Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Term Loan Lender shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Term Loan Lender does not pay such amount within three (3) Business Days after the date of the Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall, without limitation of the Borrower’s rights against the defaulting Lender, pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the date such amount was made available to the Borrower at the interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loans advanced on the date of the Term Loan Borrowing. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Term Loan Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
2

 
(iv) The failure of any Term Loan Lender to make any Term Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Term Loan Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders are several and no Term Loan Lender shall be responsible for any other Term Loan Lender’s failure to make Term Loans as required herein.
 
Section 2.2 Capex Facility
 
(a) Capex Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Capex Loan Lender severally agrees to make term loans (each, a “Capex Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Capex Loan Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Capex Loan Lender’s Capex Loan Commitment. Each Capex Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Capex Loans made by the Capex Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Capex Loans shall be available in multiple Borrowings, not to exceed one Borrowing per calendar month, in an amount not exceeding $50,000,000 in the aggregate, for the purposes specified in Section 2.7(b).
 
(b) Capex Loan Borrowing Procedures.
 
(i) To request a Capex Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Capex Loan Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit B, appropriately completed, which Borrowing Request specifies:
 
 
(A)
the aggregate amount of the requested Capex Loan Borrowing (which shall be not less than $250,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $50,000);
 
 
(B)
the proposed date of the Capex Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and
 
 
(C)
the proposed use of the proceeds thereof.
 
Each Capex Loan Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Capex Loan Borrowing, but in any case not earlier than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, ten (10) Business Days before the date of the proposed Capex Loan Borrowing.
 
(ii) Promptly following receipt of a Capex Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Capex Loan Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Capex Loan Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Term Loan Borrowing. Each Capex Loan Lender shall make each Capex Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Capex Loan Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent will make such Capex Loans available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent provided by the Borrower.

(iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Capex Loan Lender prior to the proposed date of a Capex Loan Borrowing that such Capex Loan Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Capex Loan Lender’s share of such Capex Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Capex Loan Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Capex Loan Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Capex Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Term Loan Lender shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Capex Loan Lender does not pay such amount within three (3) Business Days after the date of a Capex Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall, without limitation of the Borrower’s rights against the defaulting Lender, pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the date such amount was made available to the Borrower at the interest rate per annum applicable to the Capex Loans advanced on the date of such Capex Loan Borrowing. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Capex Loan Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
(iv) The failure of any Capex Loan Lender to make any Capex Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Capex Loan Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Capex Loan Commitments of the Capex Loan Lenders are several and no Capex Loan Lender shall be responsible for any other Capex Loan Lender’s failure to make Capex Loans as required herein.
 
Section 2.3 Revolving Loan Facility
 
(a) Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Loan Lender severally agrees to make loans for the purposes specified in Section 2.7(c) (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower, from time to time during the Revolving Loan Commitment Period in such amounts as the Borrower may request under this Section 2.3 (and thereafter to make additional Revolving Loans to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Drawings under Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.14); provided that the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Revolving Loans made by a Revolving Loan Lender after giving effect to all prepayment and repayments thereof and (B) such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Revolving Loan Lenders at any given time, which aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments shall not exceed $20,000,000 at any time. Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a single Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Revolving Loan Borrowing Procedures.
 
(i) To request a Revolving Loan Borrowing (other than a Borrowing to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of a Drawing), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Revolving Loan Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit C-1, appropriately completed and duly signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which Revolving Loan Borrowing Request shall specify:
 
 
(A)
the aggregate amount of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing (which, other than a Borrowing to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of a Drawing, shall be not less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $50,000);
 
 
(B)
the proposed date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and
 
 
(C)
whether the requested Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans and, if the requested Borrowing consists of LIBOR Revolving Loans, the initial Interest Period selected by the Borrower for such LIBOR Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement.
 
Each Borrowing Request for a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Revolving Loans must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of such proposed Revolving Loan Borrowing, and each Revolving Loan Borrowing Request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of (or, if agreed to in writing by the Revolving Loan Lenders, on the date of) such proposed Revolving Loan Borrowing. Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. If no election as to the Type of Loan is specified in the applicable Revolving Loan Borrowing Request, then the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans. The procedures specified in this clause (i) shall not apply to any Revolving Loan Borrowing with respect to a Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.14.

(ii) Promptly following receipt of a Revolving Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.3(b), the Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Loan Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made pursuant to the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Loan Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent shall make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent provided by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of the Borrowing of such Revolving Loans, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have provided notice to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender that the Revolving Loans may not be made while such Default or Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall make the sole determination as to whether the applicable conditions to the obligation of such Revolving Loan Lender to make Revolving Loans set forth in Article IV have been satisfied.
 
(iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Revolving Loan Lender prior to the proposed date of a Revolving Loan Borrowing that such Revolving Loan Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Loan Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Revolving Loan Lender has not in fact made its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Loan Lender shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue standby Letters of Credit under the Letter of Credit Facility for the account of the Borrower from time to time prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or, at any time when the Revolving Loan facility is in effect, during the Revolving Loan Commitment Period; provided that (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to this Section 2.14 or be entitled to the benefits hereunder prior to the Borrowing of the Term Loans, (ii) the face amount of any such requested Letter of Credit shall not, at the time of issuance, exceed the aggregate Available Revolving Loan Commitments of all Revolving Loan Lenders at any time when the Revolving Loan facility is in effect; (iii) the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time; and (iv) each such Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date that is no later than the date that is one (1) year from the date of issue, unless otherwise agreed to by the Issuing Bank; provided that no such Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall expire on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or, if the Revolving Loan facility is in effect, the last day of the Revolving Loan Commitment Period. Each Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank.
 
(b) Procedure For Issuance of Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Issuing Bank (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) (which request must be received by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) an irrevocable written request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.14), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.
 
15

 
(c) Revolving Loan Lenders’ Participation. Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Loan Lender, and each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, in each case irrevocably and without any further action by any party, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, each Drawing and other Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof in an amount equal to the respective Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Outstanding Amount then in effect. The Issuing Bank shall promptly advise each Revolving Loan Lender of the changes in the applicable Outstanding Amount or Letter of Credit Expiration Date and any Drawing therefrom; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit or impair the rights of the Issuing Bank hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
 
(d) Payment of Drawing. Upon a Drawing, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank a Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of the Drawing not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same Business Day that the Drawing is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such Drawing prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice was received by the Borrower after such time, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the immediately following Business Day unless the reimbursement is made by a Revolving Loan (and in the latter case such payment shall include interest on the Reimbursement Obligation from the date of the Drawing to such payment date). Unless the Borrower shall notify the Issuing Bank, the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Administrative Agent that such Reimbursement Obligation will be paid by the Borrower without using a Revolving Loan, the payment by the Issuing Bank of such Drawing shall be deemed automatically to be a request for the making by the Revolving Loan Lenders of Revolving Loans to the Borrower in the amount of the respective Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Drawing on the date of such Drawing, and the Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify each Revolving Loan Lender. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall, on the Business Day of the Drawing, make a Base Rate Revolving Loan for the account of the Borrower in an amount equal to the respective Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank. The obligation of each Revolving Loan Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Bank by making a Revolving Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. In the event that a Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Revolving Loan, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate.
 
(e) Conditions To Issuance of Letters of Credit. The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.14 is subject to the satisfaction, on the proposed issuance date, of the following conditions precedent: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) all representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in the Loan Documents (as the same may have been modified through supplements or amendments to the related disclosure schedules in accordance with Section 5.31 hereof) shall be true, correct and accurate in all material respects on and as of such issuance date (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date).
 
16

 
(f) Replacement of Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Lenders, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, and upon replacement of any outstanding Letters of Credit with replacements issued by the successor Issuing Bank; provided that any successor Issuing Bank shall have a credit rating for its Reference Debt that is reasonably acceptable to the beneficiaries of the replacement Letters of Credit.

TAXES AND YIELD PROTECTION
 
Section 3.1 Taxes.
 
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
 
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
 
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Issuing Bank, by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
17

 
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority in accordance with clause (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
(e) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the IRC (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the IRC. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
 
(f) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.1, and costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
 
(g) If a Lender assigns a Loan to a United States Person that is not an “exempt recipient” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), such assignee shall provide two duly signed and completed copies of IRS form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) to the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.2 Alternate Rate of Interest.
 
If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period or the borrowing of any LIBOR Loan, (a) the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period or (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders, or, in the case of LIBOR Revolving Loans, the Revolving Loan Lenders determine, that LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders or Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and, if applicable, the Required Lenders, by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, notify the Borrower and, if applicable, such Required Lenders, that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as applicable, shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrower and, if applicable, such Required Lenders. If such notice is given with respect to Term Loans, the rate of interest on each applicable Lender’s Loans for each Interest Period thereafter will be the average cost of funds for the Required Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, plus the Applicable Margin. If such notice is given with respect to Revolving Loans, all LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Revolving Loans effective upon the giving of such notice, and LIBOR Revolving Loans shall thereafter not be available until the Revolving Loan Lenders advise the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist.
 
Section 3.3 Illegality.
 
If any Lender determines that any Legal Requirement has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Term Loans), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender is a Revolving Loan Lender or such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided that (i) in the case of Term Loans or Capex Loans, if prior to such prepayment date the affected Lender and the Borrower can agree upon an alternative mutually acceptable basis for determining the interest rate from time to time applicable to the Term Loans or Capex Loans owing to such Lender that will avoid such illegality (it being understood and agreed that the Base Rate shall be an acceptable substitute rate if the Borrower so elects and it shall be legal for such Lender to maintain its Loans as Base Rate Loans), such interest rate shall take effect from the date of such agreement in lieu of such required prepayment; and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Revolving Loans, if conversion of such Revolving Loans into Base Rate Loans will avoid such illegality, all LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Revolving Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
 
19

 
Section 3.4 Increased Costs.
 
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
 
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including any reserve established by the Federal Reserve Board); or
 
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan or such Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
 
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.4 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
 
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.4 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
 
20

 
Section 3.5 Funding Losses.
 
The 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 (i) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the wrongful failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to borrow or prepay any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower, or (ii) any payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), including the amount (if any) determined by the relevant Lender by which (x) the interest at the LIBOR which such Lender would have received for the period from the date of receipt of funds to repay or prepay a Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan if the principal received had been paid on the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (y) the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender demanding indemnification for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by it pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall, at the time of such demand, deliver to the Borrower a certificate specifying in reasonable detail the additional amount to be paid to it for any such loss or expense. Each determination by a Lender of the amounts owing to it pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
 
Section 3.6 Duty to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders.
 
(a) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if the Borrower would be required to prepay the Loans of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4 or avoid the prepayment under Section 3.3, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
(b) If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if the Borrower would be required to prepay the Loans of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1 or a claim for compensation under Section 3.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(b) Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent set forth in paragraph (a) above or elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Event of Default or Revolver Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Revolving Loan Lenders (with respect to the Revolving Loans only and irrespective of any action or inaction taken with respect to the Term Loans) may, by notice to the Borrower (in the case of a Revolver Event of Default which is not otherwise an Event of Default), given not later than fifteen (15) days of the Revolving Loan Lenders receiving written notice of the occurrence of such Revolver Event of Default, (i) declare the Revolving Loan Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate (except that any such termination shall not affect the obligation of the Revolving Loan Lenders to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.14 prior to such termination); and/or (ii) declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amount then due under the Loan Documents) and all other Obligations owing to the Revolving Loan Lenders to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. Any such acceleration of the Obligations owed to the Revolving Loan Lenders shall not alter or affect the limitations on remedies specified in paragraph (c) below.
 
62

 
(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, no Financing Party may, except with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (i) enforce any security interest created or evidenced by any Security Document or require the Administrative Agent to enforce any such security interest (provided that the foregoing shall not limit any right of setoff by a Lender permitted hereunder); (ii) sue for or institute any creditor’s process (including an injunction, garnishment, execution or levy, whether before or after judgment) in respect of any Obligation (whether or not for the payment of money) owing to it under or in respect of any Loan Document; (iii) take any step for the winding-up, administration of or dissolution of, or any insolvency proceeding in relation to, the Borrower, or for a voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or other analogous step in relation to the Borrower, or (iv) apply for any order for an injunction or specific performance in respect of the Borrower in relation to any of the Loan Documents; provided that nothing herein shall limit any netting or right of set-off by the Hedging Bank in accordance with the Hedging Agreements.
 
(d) If the Revolving Loans and interest thereon are not repaid in full on the Maturity Date, the Revolving Loan Lenders may bring any action or proceeding (i) for collection of such unpaid amounts and other amounts due and owing to the Revolving Loan Lenders with respect thereto and (ii) for the recognition or enforcement of any judgment with respect to such unpaid amounts and such other amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as any real property is included in the Collateral, the Revolving Loan Lenders shall not exercise any rights or remedies that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the California “one action” rule or any similar rule of any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Revolving Loans shall at all times be secured by the Lien pursuant to the Security Documents, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

77

 
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.14 or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under any such Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party, or liability under any Environmental Laws related in any way to any Loan Party, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment (or a settlement tantamount to such a judgment) to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee or agent of such Indemnitee. As used in this clause (b), the term “fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee” shall include reasonable costs and expenses of not more than one counsel (and, if necessary, one local counsel), which may include allocable costs and expenses of such Indemnitees’s in-house legal counsel and staff (to the extent in substitution for, and not duplicative of, outside counsel).
 
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or arising out of the activities in connection herewith or therewith.
 
(d) All amounts due under this Section 12.3 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor.
 
(e) The agreements in this Section 12.3 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.
 
Section 12.4 Successors and Assigns.
 
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.4. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 12.4) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
78

 
(b) (i) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees approved by the Administrative Agent and (so long as no Event of Default is continuing) the Borrower (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (A) no approval of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment to an assignee that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (B) each assignee Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities to the Issuing Bank as it may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any Drawing or other Reimbursement Obligation, (C) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitment, the amount of the Loans and Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents; (D) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (E) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and any required tax forms; and (F) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
 
(ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 12.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4 and 12.3). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 12.4.
 
79

 
(iii) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and required tax forms executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 12.4, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
 
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 12.1(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 12.4, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 12.4.
 
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.4 or 3.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, (A) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.1(e) as though it were a Lender and (B) a Participant that is a United States resident individual shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 as if it were a Lender unless the Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.1(g) as though it were a Lender.
 
80

 
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.4 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
 
Section 12.5 Confidentiality.
 
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or affected Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent reasonably practical, give the Borrower reasonable notice prior to any such required disclosure and an opportunity to contest such order, and the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable shall comply with any applicable protective order or equivalent imposed by any Governmental Authority as a condition of such disclosure), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.5, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or its advisers, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.5. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is not prohibited from transmitting the information to the Administrative Agent or such Lender by a contractual or legal obligation. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.5 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
 
Section 12.6 Limitation on Interest.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest and fees paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Legal Requirement (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest or a fee in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest or fee shall be applied to the principal of the outstanding Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest or a fee contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
 
81

 
Section 12.7 Right of Setoff.
 
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that if any such set off is effected prior to acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 and all Events of Default are cured prior to any such acceleration, such set off (other than any portion thereof that has been applied against matured Obligations) shall be rescinded and the deposits and other amounts so set off (other than such portion) shall be restored to the Borrower, without interest, not later than three (3) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders in writing that no Event of Default is continuing or, if the benefit of such set off has been shared by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.13, promptly after such Lender receives the corresponding payments from other Lenders. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
 
Section 12.8 Nonliability of Financing Parties.
 
The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(a) Any inspections of any property of the Borrower made by or through the Administrative Agent or any other Financing Party are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and the Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of the Borrower);
 
(b) The relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the other Financing Parties is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and financing parties; neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Financing Party shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of any Loan Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Financing Party shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Loan Party or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to any Loan Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Financing Parties undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to any Loan Party or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform any such Person of any matter in connection with the operations of such Person; each Loan Party and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and each other Financing Party and neither any Loan Party nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon.
 
82

 
Section 12.9 Limitation of Recourse.
 
There shall be full recourse to the Borrower and all of its assets and properties for the liabilities of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Notes and the other Loan Documents. Subject to clauses (i) and (iv) of the following sentence, in no event shall the Investor or any of its Affiliates (other than any Loan Party) (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), or any officer or director of the Borrower, be personally liable or obligated for such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower, except as may be specifically provided in any Loan Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party. Nothing herein contained shall limit or be construed to (i) release any Non-Recourse Party from liability for its fraudulent actions or misappropriation of funds by it or willful misconduct or for reimbursement of any Distribution made to it in violation of Section 9.6, or from any of its obligations or liabilities under any agreement executed by such Non-Recourse Party in its individual capacity in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) limit or impair the exercise of remedies with respect to any Collateral, (iii) limit the liability of any Person who is a party to a Loan Document with respect to such liability as may arise by reason of the terms and conditions of such Loan Document (but subject to any limitation of liability contained in such Loan Document), or (iv) require the Financing Parties to indemnify the Non-Recourse Parties for liabilities or claims that may be independently asserted against them. The provisions of this Section 12.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 12.10 Integration.
 
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
 
Section 12.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
 
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Notes.
 
83

 
Section 12.12 Governing Law.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.
 
Section 12.13 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
 
(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, solely for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and not as a general submission to New York law), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
 
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.13. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
 
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
 
(d) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE). EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
 
Section 12.14 Severability.
 
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
84

 
Section 12.15 Headings.
 
The table of contents and the headings of Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules have been included herein for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement, and shall not be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
 
Section 12.16 Counterparts.
 
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
