A. may, in its discretion, arrange for one or more of its domestic or foreign branches or Affiliates to perform its obligations as the Administrative Agent hereunder and in such event, the term “Administrative Agent” shall include any such branch or Affiliate with respect to such obligations.

Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period or with respect to the determination of the Alternate Base Rate, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or, with respect to the determination of the Alternate Base Rate, for a one month interest period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.


Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.

Aggregate Revolving Commitment” means the sum of all of the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments.

Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure” means the sum of all of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures.

Agreement” means this Credit Agreement.

Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.

Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or ABR Loan, or with respect to the commitment fees payable hereunder, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Fixed Rate Spread,” “ABR Spread” or “Commitment Fee Rate” as the case may be, based upon the Leverage Ratio for the Rolling Period ending on the most recent Quarterly Date with respect to which the Administrative Agent shall have received the financial statements and other information (the “Current Information”) required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) and the compliance certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) in respect of such financial statements:

 

      Fixed Rate       Commitment Fee

Leverage Ratio

   Spread  

ABR Spread

  Rate

Less than 1.00 to 1.00

   1.50%   0.50%   0.25%

Greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00
but less than 1.75 to 1.00

   1.75%   0.75%   0.30%

Greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00

As of the Effective Date, the Current Information is based upon the financial statements of the Borrower dated as of June 30, 2011 and reflects that the Leverage Ratio as of June 30, 2011 is less than 1.00 to 1.00. Each change in the Applicable Rate based on a change in the Current Information shall become effective on the date on which Current Information is delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.01

If any Current Information is not delivered within the time periods specified in Section 5.01, then, until such Current Information is delivered, the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the Rolling Period that would have been covered thereby shall, for the purposes of this definition, be deemed to be greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00. The Leverage Ratio shall initially be determined based on the Current Information. If it is ever subsequently determined that the Current Information did not accurately report the information necessary to determine the Leverage Ratio and as a result thereof, the Leverage Ratio utilized to determine the Applicable Rates was not correct and resulted in the Applicable Rates being otherwise lower than they should have been if the Leverage Ratio was accurately determined, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount that would have been due under the terms hereof if the Leverage Ratio was calculated correctly. A certificate of the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts (including a reasonably detailed calculation thereof) of any such difference shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Arranger” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in its capacity as Sole Lead Arranger and Bookrunner.

Assignment and Acceptance” means an assignment and acceptance entered into by a Lender and an assignee (with the consent of any party whose consent is required by Section 9.04), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit A or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent.

Authorized Officer” means the Chairman, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Senior Vice President, any Vice President or the Treasurer of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary, as applicable, or any other officer of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary specified to the Administrative Agent in writing by any of the aforementioned officers of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary.

(v) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Dollar Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Fixed Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make advances in Dollars (each such advance, herein a “Swingline Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $30,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Borrowing Procedure. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date of (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of Borrower with the Swingline Lender or by wire transfer, automated clearing house debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Person designated by Borrower (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.


(c) Lender Participation in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent , for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.04(c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided, that, any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting 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 (c) of this Section 2.05), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be issued (which must be either Dollars or a Foreign Currency), 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. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, (ii) the Foreign Currency Exposure shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit and (iii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; provided that (A) any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods not to extend past the date in clause (ii) above and (B) Letters of Credit with an aggregate face amount not to exceed $25,000,000 may have expiration dates that extend to the date two years after the date of the issuance of each such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, two years after such renewal or extension) not to extend past the date in clause (ii) above.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement)and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Dollar Amount of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Any participation funded under this Section 2.05(d) shall be converted to Dollar ABR Loans.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the currency in which it is denominated not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time (or with respect to LC Disbursements denominated in a Foreign Currency, 12:00 noon, the applicable Foreign Currency Office time), on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time (or with respect to LC Disbursements denominated in a Foreign Currency, 10:00 a.m., the applicable Foreign Currency Office time), on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time (or with respect to LC Disbursements denominated in a Foreign Currency, 12:00 noon, the applicable Foreign Currency Office time), on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time (or with respect to LC


Disbursements denominated in a Foreign Currency, 10:00 a.m., the applicable Foreign Currency Office time), on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 that such payment be financed with an Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan, as applicable and in each case, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in the currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit is denominated, its Revolving Credit Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(e), to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial


compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or other electronic transmission approved by the Administrative Agent) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.05(h) shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.05(j), and/or otherwise (ii) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash and in Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (i) or (j) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for


the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Borrower will, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such security and pledge agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Borrower will, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such security and pledge agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) By Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars by 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time or, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, in the applicable Foreign Currency and by 12:00 noon the applicable Foreign Currency Office time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if such Loans are denominated in Dollars, by wire transfer, automated clearing house debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Persons designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Funding Assumed Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith 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 (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.


Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(a) Conversion and Continuation. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or an ABR Borrowing if no Type is specified) and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period and shall be denominated in Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Delivery of Interest Election Request. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election; provided that elections made with respect to Foreign Currency Borrowings shall only be made in writing pursuant to the next sentence. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

(c) Contents of Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Fixed Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Notice to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Limitations on Election. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Fixed Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing, if outstanding as a Fixed Rate Dollar Borrowing, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing


and if outstanding as a Foreign Currency Borrowing, shall be continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing: (i) no outstanding Dollar Borrowing may be converted to or continued as an Eurodollar Borrowing; (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iii) no outstanding Foreign Currency Borrowing may be continued for an Interest Period longer than one month. A Borrowing may not be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing if after giving effect thereto the Interest Period therefor would commence before and end after a date on which any principal of the Loans is scheduled to be repaid. No Foreign Currency Borrowing may be converted to an ABR Borrowing and no Borrowing denominated in one currency can be converted to another currency.

Section 2.08 Request for a Note. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form of a Revolving Credit Note or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Certain Prepayments.

(a) Automatic and Mandatory Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments of each Lender shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Commitments of each Lender shall also terminate on the date when the Borrower is obligated to make any Subordinated Debt Payment that is not permitted by Section 6.06(b) or that is not permitted with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(b) Mandatory Reduction. The Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall reduce by an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition or any Debt Offering that is used or is required to be used to repay the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i). In the event that the Aggregate Revolving Commitment is reduced pursuant to this paragraph (b), both the Commitment to make Swingline Loans and the Foreign Currency Sublimit shall also be reduced to the extent necessary so that they do not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in effect after each such reduction.

(c) Optional Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and the commitment to make Swingline Loans; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced below the amount of the commitment to make Swingline Loans and the Foreign Currency Sublimit unless such commitment and sublimit are also reduced, as applicable, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce Aggregate Revolving Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11(b), the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.

(d) Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.09 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the


Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders holding the Commitment of such Type in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Type.

Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Promise to Pay. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date in the currency in which it is denominated, (ii) to the Swingline Lender, the unpaid amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and (iii) the amounts specified in Section 2.11 on the dates specified in such Section. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrower, from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates set forth in Section 2.13.

(b) Lender Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and the currency in which such indebtedness is due.

(c) Administrative Agent Records. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof, the currency in which it is denominated and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.10 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans; Application of Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part; provided that (i) each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, (ii) each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 2.11, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay any and all costs and expenses due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16 at the time of such prepayment.


(b) Mandatory Prepayment.

In the event the Borrower shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition or any Debt Offering, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such Net Cash Proceeds unless, with respect to an Asset Disposition, the Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent with a Reinvestment Notice prior to the consummation of such Asset Disposition; provided, that, in the event the Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent with a Reinvestment Notice prior to the consummation of an Asset Disposition, then, on the first Business Day following the end of the Reinvestment Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Net Cash Proceeds that have not been applied during such Reinvestment Period to acquire assets or for other purposes useful in the Borrower’s business (as described in Section 3.16).

(ii) Subordinated Debt Payments. At any time the Borrower becomes obligated to make any Subordinated Note Payment that is not permitted by Section 6.06(b) or that is not consented to by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall, prior to or contemporaneously with, any prepayment of the Subordinated Notes, prepay the Loans in full.

(c) Commitment in Excess of Outstandings. The Borrower shall, from time to time, upon demand of the Administrative Agent, prepay the Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that at all times the sum of the Dollar Amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure is equal to or less than the Aggregate Revolving Commitment (or, if no Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)). In addition, if, and in any event that, (i) the Swingline Loans exceed $30,000,000 or (ii) the Foreign Currency Exposure exceeds the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall promptly repay the Swingline Loans and/or Foreign Currency Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in each case an amount equal to the applicable excess.

(d) Notice of Prepayment; Application of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or, with respect to Foreign Currency Borrowings, in writing, of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of a prepayment of an English Pounds Sterling Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., London, England time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment and (iv) in the case of prepayment of any other type of Foreign Currency Loan not later than 9:30 a.m., the applicable Foreign Currency Office time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid (which amount shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in $1,000,000 increments in excess thereof, provided that Swingline Loans may be prepaid in any amount); provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09(d). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. The application of any prepayment of the Loans shall be applied first to ABR Loans and then to Fixed Rate Loans next maturing.


Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in Dollars and in arrears on each Quarterly Date of each year and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the Dollar Amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender; and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on Fixed Rate Borrowings, per annum, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the administration, issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be payable in Dollars and in arrears on the third Business Day following each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including all fees due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter).

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) ABR Borrowings. Subject to Section 9.13, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Borrowings. Subject to Section 9.13, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate (determined based on the Fixed Rate Spread).


(c) Foreign Currency Borrowing. Subject to Section 9.13, the Loans comprising each Foreign Currency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Foreign Currency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate (determined based on the Fixed Rate Spread).

(d) Swingline Loans. Subject to Section 9.13, the Swingline Loans shall bear interest each day at the greater of (i) Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 2% or (ii) the sum of (A) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus (B) the Applicable Rate (determined based on the Fixed Rate Spread) plus (C) 0.25%.

(e) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 9.13, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13.

(f) Payment of Interest. Subject to Section 9.13, accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(g) Computation. Subject to Section 9.13, all interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and (ii) which respect to any Foreign Currency as to which another number of days is customarily used as a basis for such calculation, then interest with respect to Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency shall be computed on such basis. Interest in all cases shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate, or Fixed Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Market Disruption; Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Market Disruption Applicable to Foreign Currency Loans. If, with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, the Foreign Currency Rate to be applied thereto and any Interest Period therefor:

(i) at or about noon on the applicable Quotation Day, the applicable screen rate is not available and none or only one of the applicable reference banks supplies a rate to the Administrative Agent to determine the then applicable Foreign Currency Rate for the relevant Interest Period or the Administrative Agent otherwise determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Foreign Currency Rate for such Interest Period; or


(ii) before the close of business in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Foreign Currency Office is located on the applicable Quotation Date, any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market would be in excess of applicable Foreign Currency Rate then set,

then the rate of interest on the applicable Foreign Currency Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(A) the Applicable Margin applicable to Fixed Rate Loans;

(B) the rate equal to the percentage rate per annum equivalent to the cost to the Administrative Agent of funding its participation in that Foreign Currency Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

(C) the MLA Cost, if any, applicable to the Foreign Currency Loan.

If an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(b) Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period;

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; or

(iii) the Administrative Agent determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank dollar market generally, deposits in Dollars in the relevant interbank dollar market are not being offered for the applicable Interest Period and in an amount equal to the amount of the Fixed Rate Loan requested by the Borrower;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or other electronic transmission approved by the Administrative Agent as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of the affected type shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Borrowing of the affected type, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Revolving Borrowing.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) Change in Law. 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 (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Fixed Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or


(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or Foreign Currency Loan 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 the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. In addition, if the introduction of, or changeover to, the Euro in the United Kingdom shall result in an increase in the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Euro or English Pounds Sterling Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or result in a reduction of the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the applicable Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Adequacy. 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, or participations in Letters of Credit and Loans held 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 the case may be, 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) Delivery of Certificate. 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 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Limitation on Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 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 2.15 . for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 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; provided further that, if the Change in 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.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date


specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include (i) an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Fixed Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (B) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable market utilized to determine the related Fixed Rate; (ii) any loss incurred in liquidating or closing out any foreign currency contract; and (iii) any loss arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to any Loan made in a Foreign Currency which was not paid on the date due. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Gross Up. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder 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 2.17) the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the 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 law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Tax Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 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 (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) 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 a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Receipts. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, 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) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such 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), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. A Lender shall not be entitled to payment or indemnification under this Section 2.17 with respect to Taxes imposed on any “withholdable payment” payable to such Lender as a result of the failure of such Lender to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA after December 31, 2012.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Payments Generally. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds in the currency in which the underlying obligations being paid is denominated as determined pursuant hereto, without set-off or counterclaim; provided that the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Foreign Currency Loans prior to the time express required hereunder (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, the applicable Foreign Currency Office time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds and in the Foreign Currency in which such Loan is denominated, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices in New York City, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.


(b) Pro Rata Application. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made, each payment on account of any commitment fee or participation fee in respect of the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, in each case, pro rata according to the relevant Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on any Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders. Further, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, 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 and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Sharing of Set offs. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Payments From Borrower Assumed Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.


(e) Application of Proceeds of Subsidiary Guaranty. All amounts received under each Subsidiary Guaranty shall first be applied as payment of the accrued and unpaid fees of the Administrative Agent hereunder and then to all other unpaid or unreimbursed Lender Indebtedness (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) owing to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent only and then any remaining amount of such proceeds shall be distributed:

(i) first, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts of Lender Indebtedness (other than that relating to Hedging Agreements), until all such Lender Indebtedness is paid in full; and

(ii) second, to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts of Lender Indebtedness arising in connection with Hedging Agreements, until all such Lender Indebtedness is paid in full.

Section 2.19 Illegality.

(a) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) by reason of the adoption of any applicable Governmental Rule or any change (after the Effective Date) in any applicable Governmental Rule or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (ii) circumstances affecting the applicable interbank dollar market or the position of a Lender therein shall at any time make it unlawful or impracticable in the sole discretion of a Lender exercised in good faith for such lender or its applicable lending office to (A) honor its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans either generally or for a particular Interest Period provided for hereunder, or (B) maintain Fixed Rate Loans either generally or for a particular Interest Period provided for hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof through the Administrative Agent and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Fixed Rate Loans having an affected Interest Period hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Fixed Rate Loans having an affected Interest Period (in which case the provisions of Section 2.19(b) hereof shall be applicable). Before giving such notice pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), such Lender will designate a different available lending office for the affected Fixed Rate Loans of such Lender or take such other action as the Borrower may request if such designation or action will avoid the need to suspend such Lender’s obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans hereunder and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender exercised in good faith, be disadvantageous to such Lender (provided, that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate a lending office for Fixed Rate Loans located in the United States of America).

(b) Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain any Fixed Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.19(a) hereof, all Loans having an affected Interest Period which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Fixed Rate Loans shall: (i) if such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Eurodollar Loan having an affected Interest Period of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans unless earlier conversion is required by applicable law) and, to the extent that Eurodollar Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Loans shall be applied instead to such ABR Loans and (ii) if such Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, such Foreign Currency Loan will not be made and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Foreign Currency Loan having an affected Interest Period of such Lender then outstanding shall be repaid.


Section 2.20 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or 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 2.17, 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 2.15 or Section 2.17, 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) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) 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 2.17, (iii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender suspends its obligation to maintain or fund Fixed Rate Loans under Section 2.19, 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 9.04), 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 (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline 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 (C) 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 2.17, 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.

Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Suspension of Commitment Fees. Commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a);

(b) Suspension of Voting. The Revolving Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;


(c) Participation Exposure. If any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) Reallocation. All or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) Payment and Cash Collateralization. If the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) Suspension of Letter of Credit Fee. If Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) Reallocation of Fees. If the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Percentages; and

(v) Issuing Bank Entitled to Fees. If any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) Suspension of Swingline Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) Setoff against Defaulting Lender. Any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c) but excluding Section 2.20(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank, the Lenders or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization


of any participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Percentage.

Section 2.22 Increase of Revolving Commitments. By written notice sent to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders), the Borrower may provide notice of an increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments.

(a) Limitation on Increases and Additions. Each such increase shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) each such increase must be in an aggregate amount equal to any integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $20,000,000;

(ii) the aggregate amount for all such increases shall not exceed $175,000,000 and after giving effect to any such increase, the Aggregate Revolving Commitment must not exceed $600,000,000;

(iii) as of the effective date of any such increase, no Default shall exists;

(iv) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not have previously been reduced more than once; and

(v) the total number of increases implemented under this Section 2.22 shall not exceed four (4).

(b) New Lenders. No Lender is obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment under the provisions of this Section. If one or more of the Lenders will not be providing a portion of an increase or addition under this Section, then, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, another one or more financial institutions, each as reasonably approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “New Lender”), may commit to provide an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the requested increase and/or addition that will not be provided by the existing Lenders (the “Increase Amount”); provided, that the Revolving Commitment of each New Lender shall be at least $10,000,000 and the maximum number of New Lenders added to this Agreement under this Section shall be ten (10).


(c) Implementation of Increase. Each increase consummated under this Section 2.22(c) shall be effective upon the delivery of an Increased Commitment Supplement (herein so called) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders willing to increase their Revolving Commitments and/or provide the New Lenders (if any).

(d) Pro Rata Revolving Fundings. If all existing Lenders shall not have provided their pro rata portion of a requested increase in the Revolving Commitments, then after giving effect to the requested increase the outstanding Revolving Loans may not be held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Increased Commitment Supplement increasing the Revolving Commitments, the Lenders shall make advances among themselves, such advances to be in amounts sufficient so that after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans shall be held by the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Commitments. The advances made by a Lender under this Section 2.22(d) shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving Loans of one or more of the Lenders who received the advances.

Section 2.23 European Economic and Monetary Union Provisions. The following clauses of this Section 2.23 shall be effective at and from the commencement of the third stage of EMU by the United Kingdom:

(a) Redenomination and Foreign Currencies. Each obligation under this Agreement which has been denominated in English Pounds Sterling shall be redenominated into the euro unit in accordance with EMU legislation; provided, that if and to the extent that any EMU legislation provides that following the commencement of the third stage of EMU by the United Kingdom an amount denominated either in the Euro or in English Pounds Sterling and payable within the United Kingdom by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in the euro unit or in English Pounds Sterling, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in the euro unit or in English Pounds Sterling. Any Foreign Currency Borrowing that would otherwise be denominated in English Pounds Sterling shall be made in the euro unit and except as provided in the forgoing sentence, any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be paid in the euro unit.

(b) Payments by Agent Generally. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the euro unit or in English Pounds Sterling, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any Lender in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid if such party shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the euro unit or, as the case may be, in English Pounds Sterling) to the account with the bank which shall have been specified for such purpose. As used herein, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the Euro.

(c) Basis of Accrual. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to English Pounds Sterling shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the commencement of the third stage of EMU by the United Kingdom; provided, that if any Fixed Rate English Pounds Sterling Borrowing is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.


(d) Rounding and other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU legislation and without prejudice to the respective liabilities for indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in English Pounds Sterling shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in the euro unit as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify; and

(ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.23(d)(ii), each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in the United Kingdom.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the Borrower’s and each Material Subsidiary’s (as applicable) corporate, partnership or limited liability company powers (as applicable) and have been duly authorized, as applicable, by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company powers (as applicable) and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary (to the extent a party thereto) and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary (as applicable), enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of the Material Subsidiaries.


Section 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

(a) Financial Condition. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2010, audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, independent public accountants and (ii) as of and for the Fiscal Quarter and the portion of the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2011, certified by one of its Financial Officers. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

(b) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2010, and except for the Disclosed Matters, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.05 Properties.

(a) Title. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its Property material to its business, which is not subject to any Lien except for (i) Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

(b) Intellectual Property. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.06 Litigation.

(a) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Change in Disclosed Matters. Since the Effective Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither (a) a Default nor (b) any other default by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries under any agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, has occurred and is continuing.


Section 3.08 Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Section 3.09 Taxes.

Section 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (in each case determined based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, does not exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan (as of the date of determination of such benefit obligation amount) by an amount which, if it constituted a direct liability of the Borrower, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.11 hereto accurately (a) reflects (i) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries, and (ii) each jurisdiction in which the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation, foreign partnership or foreign limited liability company, and (b) specifies those Subsidiaries that are Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 3.11.

Section 3.12 Burdensome Obligations. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective properties, is subject to any law or any pending or threatened Change in Law or subject to any restriction under its articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, regulations, partnership agreement or comparable charter or other organizational documents or under any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, may be subject or bound, which is so unusual or burdensome as to be likely in the foreseeable future to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.13 Employee Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective employees, is subject to any collective bargaining agreement. There are no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages or controversies pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or their respective employees, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.14 Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum, nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.


Section 3.15 Margin Stock. None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for the purpose of, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged in the business of, extending credit for the purpose of (a) purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U of the Board (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or (b) reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin stock, in either case in violation of Regulation U. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged principally in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor any Person acting on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary has taken or will take any action which would cause any of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement and any Subsidiary Guaranty, to violate Regulation U or any other regulation of the Board , or to violate any similar provision of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation under any such provision thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds of a Loan may be used to purchase margin stock in a Permitted Acquisition and for repurchases of treasury stock (to the extent permitted by the terms of Section 6.06), in each case if, after applying the proceeds of the applicable Loan, such Loan can be made in compliance with Regulation U of the Board.

Section 3.16 Primary Business. The primary business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole is that of the manufacturing of transportation, construction, energy and industrial products, and the leasing of railroad cars and related equipment.

Section 3.17 Environmental Matters.

(a) Compliance with Environmental Law. Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

(b) Hazardous Materials. Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, all Hazardous Materials or solid waste generated at any and all Property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary have in the past been transported, treated and disposed of only by carriers maintaining valid permits under any Environmental Law, and only at treatment, storage and disposal facilities maintaining valid permits under any Environmental Law, which carriers and facilities have been and are operating in compliance with such permits.

(c) Release. The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary have taken all reasonable steps necessary to determine and have determined that no Hazardous Materials or solid waste has been disposed of or otherwise released and there has been no threatened release of any Hazardous Materials on or to any Property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary except in compliance with Environmental Laws, and except for releases that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.18 Designated Senior Debt. The Lender Indebtedness arising under this Agreement is “Designated Senior Debt” under the Subordinated Note Indenture and the Administrative Agent is the “Representative” thereunder.

Section 3.19 Schedules to other Loan Documents. All information set forth in all disclosure schedules to the other Loan Documents is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

Each Borrowing and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 4.02.

Section 4.03 Effective Date Advances and Adjustments. On the Effective Date, the aggregate amount of the revolving commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement is changed hereunder, new Lenders are being added hereto and not all Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement are participating in the Revolving Commitments based on their pro rata percentages established under the Existing Credit Agreement. As a result, any revolving loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement which are continued hereunder will not be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Percentages determined hereunder. To remedy the foregoing, on the Effective Date and upon fulfillment of the conditions in Section 4.01, the Lenders shall make advances among themselves (which may be through the Administrative Agent) so that after giving effect thereto and to the


extent necessary so that the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages hereunder. Any advances made on the Effective Date under this Section by each Lender whose Revolving Credit Percentage is new or has increased under this Agreement (as compared to its revolving credit percentage under the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving Loans of the Lender or Lenders whose Revolving Credit Percentage has decreased (as compared to its revolving credit percentage under the Existing Credit Agreement). The advances made under this Section shall be ABR Borrowings made under each Lender’s Revolving Commitment unless another Type of Borrowing is selected by the Borrower to be applicable thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT BE INDEMNIFIED IN THE CASE OF ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT OR TECHNICAL.

Section 8.08 Other Agents. Certain Lenders may have been designated as “documentation agent,” “syndication agent” or “co-agent,” hereunder in recognition of the level of each of their Revolving Commitments.

by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts, and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Loan Document, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that neither the Issuing Bank nor the Swingline Lender shall not be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

Section 8.10 Lender Affiliates Rights. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, any Affiliate of a Lender that is owed any Lender Indebtedness is bound by the terms of the Loan Documents.

The Administrative Agent shall deal solely and directly with the related Lender of any such Affiliate in connection with all matters relating to the Loan Documents. The Lender Indebtedness owed to such Affiliate shall be considered the Lender Indebtedness of its related Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents and such Lender shall be solely responsible to the other parties hereto for all the obligations of such Affiliate under any Loan Document.

Section 8.11 Authorized Release of Material Subsidiary. If (i) no Default exists or would result; and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower requesting the release of a Material Subsidiary from its Subsidiary Guaranty, certifying that (A) no Default exists or will result from the release of the Material Subsidiary; and (B) the Administrative Agent is authorized to release such Material Subsidiary because the Equity issued by such Material Subsidiary or the assets of such Material Subsidiary have been sold in a transaction permitted by Section 6.12 (including with the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 9.02(b)); then the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Lender, without any consent or further agreement of any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender to release such Material Subsidiary from all obligations under the Loan Documents. To the extent the Administrative Agent is required to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall do so promptly upon request of the Borrower without the consent or further agreement of any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender.

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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit, any Affiliate of a Lender who is owed any of the Lender Indebtedness and any Indemnitee), except that 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). 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit, any Affiliate of a Lender who is owed any of the Lender Indebtedness and any Indemnitee) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments. Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) by executing, and causing the assignee thereof to execute, an Assignment and Acceptance; provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or a Lender Affiliate (other than a Defaulting Lender), each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, the Issuing Bank) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments assigned to an assignee, and the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments retained by the assignor after giving effect to such assignment, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (provided, that, if the Revolving Commitments have expired or terminated, such limits shall apply to the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure assigned and retained), (iii) 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, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender Affiliate, in which case no processing and recordation fee shall be payable, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the other Loan Documents and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of


Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.19 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (e) of this Section 9.04.

(c) Maintenance of the Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois or Dallas, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance 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 and LC Disbursements 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, the Issuing Bank 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 and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Acceptance by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance 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.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their affiliates or any Defaulting Lender) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; 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 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Participant’s Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it


were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 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 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Pledge. 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 or central bank, and this Section 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 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.19 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY SEPARATE LETTER AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FEES PAYABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS (INCLUDING THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT), REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the Lender Indebtedness outstanding in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement nor does it constitute a novation with respect to such Indebtedness. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders ratify and confirm each of the Loan Documents entered into prior to the Effective Date (but excluding the Existing Credit Agreement) and agree that such


Loan Documents continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. However, for all matters arising prior to the Effective Date (including, the accrual and payment of interest and fees, and matters relating to indemnification and compliance with financial covenants), the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement (as unmodifed by this Agreement) shall control and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Borrower represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date there are no claims or offsets against or rights of recoupment with respect to or defenses or counterclaims to its obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 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. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Texas.

(b) Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Texas and of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, 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 Texas 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 or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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.

(c) Venue. 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 or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09. 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.

(d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.


Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) 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 SECTION 9.10.

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 regulatory authority, (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, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable interest, usury and criminal laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary to a Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or


thereby would be illegal, unenforceable, usurious or criminal under laws applicable to a Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (including the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document) then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is agreed as follows:

(a) the provisions of this Section 9.13 shall govern and control;

(b) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law (such maximum lawful interest rate if any, with respect to such Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited to the Borrower by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to the Borrower);

(c) all sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent for the use, forbearance and detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by laws applicable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof;

(d) if at any time the interest provided pursuant to this Section 9.13 or any other clause of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with any other fees or compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and deemed interest under laws applicable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, exceeds that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees or compensation to accrue to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and such fees or compensation deemed to be interest equals the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to any other relevant Section hereof (other than this Section 9.13) or thereof as applicable, had at all times been in effect, plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section 9.13;

(e) with the intent that the rate of interest herein shall at all times be lawful, if the receipt of any funds owing hereunder or under any other agreement related hereto (including any of the other Loan Documents) by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent would cause such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to charge the Borrower a criminal rate of interest, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent agree that they will not require the payment or receipt thereof or a portion thereof which would cause a criminal rate of interest to be charged by such


Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and if received such affected Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent will return such funds to the Borrower so that the rate of interest paid by the Borrower shall not exceed a criminal rate of interest from the date this Agreement was entered into; and

(f) For purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate under Texas law, the applicable rate ceiling shall be the indicted rate ceiling described in, and computed in accordance with Section 303.003 of the Texas Finance Code.

Section 9.14 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.15 Judgment Currency. This is a loan transaction in which the specification of a Foreign Currency or Dollars is of the essence, and the stipulated currency shall in each instance be the currency of account and payment in all instances. A payment obligation in one currency hereunder (the “Original Currency”) shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency (the “Other Currency”), whether pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any Other Currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a party hereto of the full amount of the Original Currency payable to such party. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Original Currency into the Other Currency, the rate of exchange that shall apply shall be the applicable Spot Rate. The obligation of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Document (in this Section 9.15 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 Other Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower, 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 Original Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Original Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Other Currency so purchased.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

(a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(4) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(4), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)), and

provided, however, that the Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and the Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand, or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2.02 Acceleration of Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that, in the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to ARTICLE VII of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent for itself and as agent for the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount of all such Obligations.

Section 2.03 Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party has been paid in full, all obligations of the

The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, each other Loan Document and each applicable Hedging Agreement under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender Party or any holder of any note with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedging Agreement;

(b) the failure of any Lender Party

(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Hedging Agreement or otherwise, or

(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason (other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, non-genuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise;

(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedging Agreement;

(f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, held by any Lender Party securing any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; or

(g) any other circumstance (other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any surety, or any guarantor.

Section 2.04 Reinstatement, etc. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender Party, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.


Section 2.05 Waiver, etc. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or any collateral securing the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be.

Section 2.06 Waiver of Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and the termination or expiration of all Revolving Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender Parties against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any collateral which the Administrative Agent now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Loan Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SCHEDULE 1.02

TO

TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

CALCULATION OF MLA COST

 

1. The MLA Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

 

2. On the first day of each Interest Period with respect to any Foreign Currency Borrowing (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender if the provisions of this Schedule 1.02 are applicable to it, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The MLA Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

 

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from an office, through which it will perform it obligations under this Agreement (the “Facility Office”), in a member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union, will be the percentage notified by that such Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

 

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

 

  (a) in relation to an English Pounds Sterling Borrowings:

 

AB + C(B-D) + Ex 0.01

100 – (A + C)

   per cent. per annum

 

  (b) in relation to a Borrowing in any Foreign Currency other than English Pounds Sterling:

 

Ex 0.01

300

   per cent. per annum

Where:

 

  A. is the percentage of eligible liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

 

  B. is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the applicable margin and the MLA Cost) payable for the relevant Interest Period on Loan.


  C. is the percentage (if any) of eligible liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing special deposits with the Bank of England.

 

  D. is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to JPMorgan’s London office on interest bearing special deposits.

 

  E. is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the fees rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the most recent rate of charge supplied by JPMorgan’s London Branch to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

 

5. For the purposes of this Schedule 1.02:

 

  (a) “eligible liabilities” and “special deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

 

  (b) “fees rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

 

  (c) “fee tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

 

  (d) “tariff base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules.

 

6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5 per cent, will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

 

7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, JPMorgan’s London Branch shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by it to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the fees rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by JPMorgan’s London office as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to JPMorgan’s London office for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of its tariff base.

 

8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Schedule 1.02:

 

  (a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

 

  (b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.


Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

 

  9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rate of charge of JPMorgan’s London office for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

 

  10. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by a Lender or JPMorgan’s London office pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

 

  11. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the MLA Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each reference bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8.

 

  12. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule 1.02 in relation to a formula, the MLA Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all the parties.

 

  13. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all the parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule 1.02 in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all the parties.
