The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the change in the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, to a maximum additional period of one year.

(a) All payments made by the 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 present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding all present and future income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(i) deliver to the Borrower prior to any payments being made under this Agreement or the Notes, two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W8BEN, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, appropriate for the Lender;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower two further properly completed 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 Borrower; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by Borrower;

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 the Lender from lawfully completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Lender so advises the Borrower and the Lender. The Lender shall 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 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide forms and statements to certify that it is either entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or that it is entitled to an exemption form United States backup

withholding tax, 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.

2.12 Change of Lending Office. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then the 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 the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan may be converted to a Fixed Rate Loan by giving the Lender notice of such election not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, unless there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default, provided that such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Each Fixed Rate Loan may be converted to a Eurodollar Loan by giving the Lender notice of such election not later than the third Working Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan, unless there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default. No conversion may be made pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.13(c) shall be contravened.

(b) All Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.13(c) would be contravened or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.

(c) All borrowings, conversions and continuations of 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 Loans comprising each Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. There shall be no more than ten (10) Tranches outstanding at any one time.

(a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender and to hold the Lender harmless from any loss or expense which the Lender (directly or through an affiliate) may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan, (ii) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, or continuation of Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment (whether such prepayment is voluntary, optional, mandatory or upon acceleration of such Loans) of Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, or (v) the prepayment of Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case above including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it, from

fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained terminating, transferring, entering into an offsetting hedging transaction with respect to or otherwise disposing of any hedging arrangements, including an interest rate swap transaction, that the Lender or such affiliate may have entered into in connection with the Loan’s bearing interest at a fixed rate. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder for one year.

(b) When demanding payment pursuant to this Section, the Lender shall provide to the Borrower a certificate, signed by an officer of the Lender, setting forth in accordance with the standard practice of the Lender the amount required to be paid by Borrower to the Lender. Such certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Subject to Section 6.2, the Borrower will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect all rights and franchises of the Borrower unless, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
