1	≥A / ≥A2 / ≥A	70.0 bps	0 bps

2	A- / A3 / X-	00.0 xxx	0 xxx

0	XXXx / Xxx0 / BBB+	77.5 bps	0 bps

4	BBB / Baa2 / BBB	85.0 bps	0 bps

0	XXX- / Xxx0 / XXX-	105.0 bps	5.0 bps

6	<BBB- / <Baa3 / <BBB- or non-rated	140.0 bps	40.0 bps

For purposes hereof, the term “Debt Rating” means, as of any date of determination, the rating of the Borrower’s non-credit enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt rating by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch; provided that, if at any time when the Borrower has only two (2) Debt Ratings, and such Debt Ratings are split, then: (A) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is one ratings category (e.g., Baa2 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the Applicable Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the higher of the Debt Ratings were used, and (B) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is two or more ratings categories (e.g., Baa1 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the Applicable Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the median of the applicable Debt Ratings were used. If at any time when the Borrower has three (3) Debt Ratings, and such Debt Ratings are split, then: (A) if the difference between the highest and the lowest such Debt Ratings is one ratings category (e.g., Baa2 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the Applicable Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the highest of the Debt Ratings were used, and (B) if the difference between such Debt Ratings is two or more ratings categories (e.g., Baa1 by Xxxxx’x and BBB- by S&P or Fitch), the Applicable Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the average of the two (2) highest Debt Ratings were used; provided that, if such average is not a recognized rating category, then the Applicable Rate shall be the rate per annum that would be applicable if the second highest Debt Rating of the three were used.

Initially, the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon the Debt Rating specified in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(vi). Thereafter, each change in the Applicable Rate shall occur on the first Business Day following the effective change in the Debt Rating.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any calendar year ending on or after December 31, 2021, if the Borrower delivers a Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate to the Administrative Agent, certifying that the Sustainability Metric as of December 31 of the most recently ended calendar year (the “Specified Test Year”) satisfies either the Level 1 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold or the Level 2 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold for such Specified Test Year, and electing that the Applicable Rate instead be based on the table set forth below (the “Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid”), then the Applicable Rate with respect to the Revolving Facility shall be determined based on the relevant columns of the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid (corresponding to the applicable level of the Sustainability Metric Election Threshold so certified in such Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate) for the period commencing on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date such Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower until the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is one (1) year after the date the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid became effective for such period in connection with the delivery of such Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate and (ii) the date that is the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of delivery by the Borrower of the Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate for the calendar year ending immediately after such Specified Test Year, which subsequent Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate indicates that (A) the Sustainability Metric for the calendar year ending immediately after such Specified Test Year did not satisfy either level of the Sustainability Metric Election Threshold (or satisfied a different level as compared to the level of the Sustainability Metric Election Threshold satisfied for such Specified Test Year) or (B) the Borrower does not elect to apply the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid for the calendar year ending immediately after such Specified Test Year; provided that it is understood and agreed that (x) if the Sustainability Metric for any calendar year does not satisfy the Level 1 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold and/or the Level 2 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold, the Borrower shall not be restricted from making any subsequent election to apply the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid (or from changing the applicable level of the Sustainability Metric Election Threshold to apply thereunder, as the case may be) pursuant to this paragraph if the Sustainability Metric for the calendar year most recently ended prior to such election satisfies either the Level 1 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold or the Level 2 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold, and (y) a Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate electing to apply the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid pursuant to this paragraph may be delivered at any time by the Borrower so long as the Sustainability Metric for the calendar year most recently ended prior to such election satisfies either the Level 1 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold or the Level 2 Sustainability Metric Election Threshold.

If, as a result of (A) the agreement by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders that the Sustainability Metric for any calendar year as reported on any Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate was inaccurate or (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders becoming aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Metric for any calendar year as reported on any Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate (and, in the case of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders becoming aware thereof, written notice thereof has been delivered to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination) (any such event referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, a “Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in each case, the Borrower made an election to apply the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid pursuant to such Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate and a proper calculation of the Sustainability Metric for such calendar year would not have resulted in any adjustment, or would have resulted in a smaller adjustment, to the Applicable Rate pursuant to the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid for the relevant period covered by such election, then the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Lenders or L/C Issuers, as the case may be, promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) following written demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, immediately, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and Letter of Credit Fees that should have been paid for such period (or relevant portion thereof then elapsed in respect of which payments of interest and/or Letter of Credit Fees were previously made) over the amount of interest and Letter of Credit Fees actually paid for such period (or relevant portion thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure of any condition precedent to any Credit Extension (whether retroactively or otherwise), and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the Default Rate prior to such a demand. It is understood and agreed that no Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate Inaccuracy shall constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure of any condition precedent to any Credit Extension (whether retroactively or otherwise); provided that the Borrower complies with the terms of this paragraph with respect to such Sustainability Metric Annual Certificate Inaccuracy.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that (x) on the Closing Date, the Existing Loans shall be re-evidenced as Committed Revolving Loans under this Agreement and the terms of the Existing Loans shall be restated in their entirety and shall be evidenced by this Agreement and (y) in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Revolving Lender’s credit exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder reflects such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Total Revolving Outstandings on the Closing Date. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving loans (each such loan, a “Committed Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars or (subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(f)) in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period for the Revolving Facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender (less, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in all Committed Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), plus, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, the Outstanding Amount of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and advanced by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit and (iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Committed Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency fronted by any Alternative Currency Fronting Lender shall not exceed $37,500,000.

Committed Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Daily Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(a)          Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Revolving Loans from one Type to another Type, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans, (ii) four (4) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency and any Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan denominated in Sterling or Swiss Francs) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Loans, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be in a principal amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(b), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans shall be in a principal amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Revolving Loans from one Type to another Type, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type and Class of Committed Revolving Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Revolving Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the currency of the Committed Revolving Loans to be borrowed or continued. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Revolving Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that, in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Committed Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Except as provided pursuant to Section 3.03, no Committed Revolving Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Revolving Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed Revolving Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b)          Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Committed Borrowing denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has not received notice that any Revolving Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount (and, with respect to Committed Revolving Loans, currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Revolving Loans. Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Committed Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have received notice that one or more Revolving Lenders is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Administrative Agent shall on or prior to the next following Business Day notify (i) each Alternative Currency Funding Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent and the Alternative Currency Equivalent of its Alternative Currency Funding Applicable Percentage, (ii) the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent and the Alternative Currency Equivalent of the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in such Committed Borrowing, (iii) each Alternative Currency Participating Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent and the Alternative Currency Equivalent of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation in such Committed Borrowing, and (iv) all Revolving Lenders and the Borrower of the aggregate Alternative Currency Equivalent and the Dollar Equivalent of such Committed Borrowing and the applicable Spot Rate used by the Administrative Agent to determine such Dollar Equivalent and Alternative Currency Equivalent. If no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Committed Revolving Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in Section 2.02(a).

In the case of a Committed Borrowing in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has not received notice that any Revolving Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the applicable currency at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed Revolving Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. In the case of a Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received notice that any Revolving Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each Alternative Currency Funding Lender shall make the amount of its Alternative Currency Funding Applicable Percentage of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Applicable Time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. In any event, a Revolving Lender may cause any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate to fund or make the amount of its Revolving Loan available in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Committed Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)          Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, (i) no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency), LIBOR Daily Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans if the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that such a continuation or conversion is not appropriate, and (ii) the Required Lenders may require that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d)          The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e)          After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Revolving Loans from one Type to another Type, and all continuations of Committed Revolving Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Committed Revolving Loans.

(f)          Alternative Currency Funding and Participation.

(i)          Subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.01, and without limitation of the provisions of Section 2.02, with respect to any Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which one or more Revolving Lenders has given notice to the Administrative Agent that it is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, (A) each Revolving Lender agrees from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period for the Revolving Facility to fund its Applicable Percentage of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which it is an Alternative Currency Funding Lender; and (B) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to acquire an Alternative Currency Risk Participation in Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which it is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender.

(ii)          Each Revolving Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be funded upon the request of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.02(b). Immediately upon the funding by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender of its Alternative Currency Funding Applicable Percentage of any Revolving Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which one or more Revolving Lenders is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased (and the Administrative Agent may apply any Cash Collateral that is available with respect to such purchase by any Alternative Currency Participating Lender) from such Alternative Currency Fronting Lender an Alternative Currency Risk Participation in such Loan in an amount such that, after such purchase, each Revolving Lender (including the Alternative Currency Funding Lenders, the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender and the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders) will have an Alternative Currency Loan Credit Exposure with respect to such Revolving Loan equal in amount to its Applicable Percentage of such Revolving Loan.

(iii)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent delivered not later than 11:00 a.m., on the second Business Day preceding the proposed date of funding and payment by Alternative Currency Participating Lenders of their Alternative Currency Risk Participations purchased in such Revolving Loans as shall be specified in such notice (the “Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date”), request each Alternative Currency Participating Lender to fund the Dollar Equivalent of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation purchased with respect to such Revolving Loans to the Administrative Agent on the Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date in Dollars. Following receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Alternative Currency Participating Lender of the Dollar Equivalent of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation purchased with respect to each such Revolving Loan (determined at the Spot Rate on the date of advance of such Revolving Loan) and the applicable Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date. Any notice given by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the absence of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(iv)          On the applicable Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender in the Revolving Loans specified for funding pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) shall deliver the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participation with respect to such specific Revolving Loans in Dollars and in Same Day Funds to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be (i) responsible for any default by any other Alternative Currency Participating Lender in such other Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to pay such amount and/or (ii) required to fund an amount under this Section 2.02(f) that would exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Upon receipt of any such amounts from the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such Dollar amounts in Same Day Funds to the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender.

(v)          In the event that any Alternative Currency Participating Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the Dollar Equivalent of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation as provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on behalf of the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender on demand from such Alternative Currency Participating Lender together with interest at the Overnight Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to amounts owing hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(vi)          In the event that the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender receives a payment in respect of any Revolving Loan, whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, in which Alternative Currency Participating Lenders have fully funded in Dollars their purchase of Alternative Currency Risk Participations, the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender shall promptly distribute to the Administrative Agent, for its distribution to each such Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s Alternative Currency Participant’s Share of such payment in Dollars and in Same Day Funds. If any payment received by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender with respect to any Revolving Loan in an Alternative Currency made by it shall be required to be returned by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender after such time as the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender has distributed such payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender that has received a portion of such payment shall pay to the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender an amount equal to its Alternative Currency Participant’s Share in Dollars of the amount to be returned; provided, however, that no Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Alternative Currency Participating Lender in that other Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to pay such amount.

(vii)          Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to acquire and pay for its purchase of Alternative Currency Risk Participations as set forth herein shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Alternative Currency Participating Lender may have against the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(viii)          In no event shall (i) the Alternative Currency Risk Participation of any Alternative Currency Participating Lender in any Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) be construed as a loan or other extension of credit by such Alternative Currency Participating Lender to the Borrower, any Revolving Lender or the Administrative Agent or (ii) this Agreement be construed to require any Revolving Lender that is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to a specific Alternative Currency to make any Revolving Loans in such Alternative Currency under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, subject to the obligation of each Alternative Currency Participating Lender to give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time such Revolving Lender acquires the ability to make Revolving Loans in such Alternative Currency.

(ix)          The Administrative Agent shall change a Revolving Lender’s designation from Alternative Currency Participating Lender to Alternative Currency Funding Lender with respect to an Alternative Currency for which such Lender previously has been designated an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, upon receipt of a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from such Alternative Currency Participating Lender requesting that its designation be so changed. Each Alternative Currency Participating Lender agrees to give such notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly upon its acquiring the ability to make Revolving Loans in such Alternative Currency. Schedule 2.02 hereto lists each Alternative Currency Participating Lender as of the Closing Date in respect of each Alternative Currency.

(g)          With respect to any Alternative Currency Daily Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

2.03          Letters of Credit.

(a)          The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender (less, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk Participations in all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), plus, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies advanced by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender for such Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, further, that unless the applicable L/C Issuer shall otherwise consent, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding in excess of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-third of the Letter of Credit Sublimit at such time and (ii) the Revolving Commitment of the Revolving Lender acting as such L/C Issuer at such time. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder by the issuer thereof, to the extent such issuer is a Revolving Lender, and such issuer shall have the obligation to amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any such Existing Letter of Credit, subject to terms, conditions and limitations hereunder. From and after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii)          The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(A)          subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(B)          the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; provided that a Letter of Credit may expire up to one year beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date so long as the Borrower Cash Collateralizes 105% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit no later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

(iii)          The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)          any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(B)          the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C)          except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000;

(D)          except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(E)          the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency;

(F)          such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(G)          any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv)          The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v)          The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi)          The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b)          Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i)          Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii)          Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)          If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (except as set forth in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B)); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)          Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(v)          Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If a notice of such payment with respect to a Letter of Credit is received by the Borrower (x) on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), then, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency or (y) after 11:00 a.m. or the Applicable Time, as the case may be, on the Honor Date, then, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the Honor Date, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(v) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(vi)          Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(v) make funds available to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral that has been provided for such purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(b)(vii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars and such funds shall be applied to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the applicable draw under the Letter of Credit.

(vii)          With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(vi) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(viii)          Until each Revolving Lender funds its Committed Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit issued by it, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(ix)          Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(b), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Committed Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(x)          If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(b) by the time specified in Section 2.03(b)(vi), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (excluding such interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Revolving Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (x) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)          At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(b), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)          If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(v) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (c)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(d)          Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)          any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii)          the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)          any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)          any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v)          any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi)          any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(e)          Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(d); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or the L/C Issuer’s payment under any Letter of Credit without presentation to it of a draft, certificates and/or other documents that substantially comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit, except where any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms have enjoined or restrained, or purported to enjoin or restrain, such L/C Issuer from making such payment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(f)          Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(g)          Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage in Dollars a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments, if any, in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, retained by the Borrower, if it has provided Cash Collateral in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or if the Borrower has not provided Cash Collateral in respect of such Fronting Exposure, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(h)          Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee per annum with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, equal to the greater of (i) the rate per annum of 12.5 basis points of the face amount of the Letter of Credit, in each case computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (ii) $1,500 per annum. The amount of such fronting fees shall be determined on a quarterly basis in arrears, and due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit issued by it as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(i)          Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(j)          Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(k)          Outstanding Letters of Credit. The L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Revolving Lenders, an accounting of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower.

(l)          L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.03, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within five (5) Business Days following the time that such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse a payment under a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

2.04          [Reserved].

2.05          Negotiated Rate Loans.

(a)          Negotiated Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender, severally and for itself alone, may (but is not obligated to) make one or more loans (which loans may be made in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency) (each such loan, a “Negotiated Rate Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period for the Revolving Facility in an aggregate Outstanding Amount not to exceed at any time (i) the Negotiated Rate Sublimit and (ii) with respect to Negotiated Rate Loans made in an Alternative Currency (plus the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Committed Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency), the Alternative Currency Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Negotiated Rate Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of such Lender may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided that Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that Negotiated Rate Loans shall be available to the Borrower for periods of one day to 180 days, so long as two of the three Debt Ratings from S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch are BBB- or better (Baa3 or better in the case of Xxxxx’x). It is understood that should a Revolving Lender make a Negotiated Rate Loan it shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation to make its pro rata share of any future Committed Revolving Loan even if after making such Committed Revolving Loan the Outstanding Amount of Committed Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of such Lender, together with the Outstanding Amount of its Negotiated Rate Loans, exceeds the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

(b)          Procedure for Negotiated Rate Loans. The Borrower may, from time to time, approach one or more of the Revolving Lenders to determine whether such Lender or Lenders will make one or more Negotiated Rate Loans. The Borrower and any Revolving Lender or Lenders shall, if each of them in their sole discretion elects to do so, agree to enter into one or more Negotiated Rate Loans as part of such proposed Negotiated Rate Borrowing on mutually agreed-upon terms, including the Interest Period with respect thereto, and notify the Administrative Agent by delivering a written Negotiated Rate Loan Notice from the Borrower and the Revolving Lender or Lenders proposing to make Negotiated Rate Loans (i) with respect to Negotiated Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, before 12:00 Noon on the date of the funding of such Negotiated Rate Loan, which shall be a Business Day (the “Negotiated Rate Funding Date”) and (ii) with respect to Negotiated Rate Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, before 12:00 Noon two (2) Business Days prior to the Negotiated Rate Funding Date. Such Negotiated Rate Loan Notice shall specify the amount of each Negotiated Rate Loan that such Revolving Lender or Lenders will make as part of such proposed Negotiated Rate Borrowing, the Negotiated Rate Funding Date, the currency of the Negotiated Rate Loan requested, the date or dates of maturity thereof, which date or dates may not occur after the Revolving Maturity Date, the rate or rates of interest applicable thereto and all other terms thereof. Each Negotiated Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Negotiated Rate Loan Notice. In lieu of delivering the written Negotiated Rate Loan Notice described above, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any Negotiated Rate Borrowing by the time required under this clause (b); provided that such telephonic notice shall be confirmed by delivery of a written Negotiated Rate Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m., on the date of such telephonic notice.

(c)          Funding of Negotiated Rate Loans in Dollars. No later than 2:00 p.m. on the applicable Negotiated Rate Funding Date, each applicable Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office the Negotiated Rate Loan, if any, to be made by such Lender as part of the Negotiated Rate Borrowing to be made on such date in the manner provided above. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of all such funds, the Administrative Agent shall disburse to the Borrower on such date such Negotiated Rate Loan in like funds at the Borrower’s account specified in the relevant Negotiated Rate Loan Notice. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, advance on behalf of any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Negotiated Rate Loan on the date a Negotiated Rate Loan is made unless such Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to such date that it does not intend to make available such Negotiated Rate Loan on such date. If the Administrative Agent makes such advance, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from the Revolving Lender on whose behalf such advance was made, and if such Lender does not pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such advance on demand, the Borrower shall promptly repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender or the Borrower, such advance shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Negotiated Rate Loan made by the Administrative Agent. In such event, if a Revolving Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Negotiated Rate Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Revolving Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds 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 (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Revolving Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(d)          Funding of Negotiated Rate Loans in Alternative Currencies. No later than (i) the Applicable Time on the applicable Negotiated Rate Funding Date, each applicable Revolving Lender will, at the option of the Borrower, make available directly to the Borrower such Negotiated Rate Loans in the applicable currency either by (A) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such Lender with the amount of such funds or (B) wire transfer of such funds to the account of the Borrower, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) such Lender by the Borrower and (ii) promptly following receipt thereof, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent written notice of receipt of the proceeds of such Negotiated Rate Loan.

2.06          Prepayments.

(a)          The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay any Class of Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) (other than Negotiated Rate Loans, which are subject to the provisions of clause (c) below); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four (4) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or LIBOR Daily Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (including, in the event such prepayment is of a Revolving Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, each Alternative Currency Funding Lender’s Alternative Currency Funding Applicable Percentage of such payment). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided, however, that a notice of voluntary prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon an event, such as the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests or other Indebtedness or the receipt of the proceeds from a Disposition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, LIBOR Daily Loan or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.18, each prepayment of Committed Revolving Loans made pursuant to this clause (a) shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Committed Revolving Loans.

(b)          [Reserved].

(c)          The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Negotiated Rate Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (unless the Borrower and the applicable Revolving Lender have otherwise agreed, in which case such Loan may be prepaid in accordance with such agreement); provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of prepayment of such Negotiated Rate Loans; (ii) the Revolving Lender or Lenders making the Negotiated Rate Loans to be prepaid have consented to such prepayment; and (iii) unless agreed to by the applicable Revolving Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any prepayment of Negotiated Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided, however, that a notice of voluntary prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon an event, such as the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests or other Indebtedness or the receipt of the proceeds from a Disposition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a Negotiated Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Revolving Lender or Lenders making such Negotiated Rate Loan.

(d)          If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, (ii) the L/C Obligations at such time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, (iii) the Negotiated Rate Loans outstanding at such time exceed the Negotiated Rate Sublimit then in effect, or (iv) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, the Borrower shall prepay the applicable Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess within one (1) Business Day (or, with respect to clause (iv), within (x) four (4) Business Days, with respect to Outstanding Amounts denominated in Euro, Sterling or Canadian Dollars and (y) five (5) Business Days, with respect to Outstanding Amounts denominated in any other Alternative Currency) after the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such a prepayment is required and of the amount thereof; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(a)(iv), the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Committed Revolving Loans and the Negotiated Rate Loans, the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.

2.07          Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

(a)          Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments will terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b)          The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (B) the Outstanding Amount of Letters of Credit would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (C) the Outstanding Amount of Negotiated Rate Loans would exceed the Negotiated Rate Sublimit or (D) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit. Each notice of termination shall specify such election to terminate and the effective date thereof. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The amount of any such Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. A notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 may state that such notice is conditioned upon an event, such as the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests or other Indebtedness or the receipt of the proceeds from a Disposition, 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.

2.08          Repayment.

The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Lenders on the Revolving Maturity Date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 8.02, the entire outstanding principal balance of all Committed Revolving Loans, Negotiated Rate Loans and all L/C Obligations, together with accrued but unpaid interest, fees and all other sums with respect thereto.

2.09          Interest.

(a)          Applicable Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each LIBOR Daily Loan under the Revolving Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Facility; (iv) each Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Currency Daily Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (v) each Negotiated Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the amount agreed to between the Borrower and the Revolving Lender as set forth in the Negotiated Rate Loan Notice.

(b)          Default Interest.

(i)          If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii)          If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii)          Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, (x) the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws and (y) any adjustment to the Applicable Rate pursuant to the Sustainability Metric Pricing Grid shall cease to apply.

Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d)          Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(e)          Alternative Currency Fronting Lender. Interest on any Revolving Loan in an Alternative Currency advanced by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender shall be for the benefit of the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, and not any Alternative Currency Participating Lender, until the applicable Alternative Currency Participating Lender has funded its participation therein to the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender.

2.10          Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(g) and 2.03(h):

(a)          Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, a facility fee in Dollars equal to the Facility Fee Rate times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Revolving Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Revolving Loans, Negotiated Rate Loans and L/C Obligations), regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18.

The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Facility Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Facility Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Facility Fee Rate was in effect.

(b)          Other Fees.

(i)          The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times as separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower, the applicable Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error.

(ii)          The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error.

(c)          Alternative Currency Fronting Fee. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to the portion of each Committed Borrowing in an Alternative Currency advanced by such Alternative Currency Fronting Lender for an Alternative Currency Participating Lender (but excluding the portion of such advance constituting the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Committed Borrowing as an Alternative Currency Funding Lender), equal to 0.125% times such portion of such Committed Borrowing, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of such Committed Borrowing, such fee to be payable on the date of such Committed Borrowing.

2.11          Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) or Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Committed Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.12          Evidence of Debt.

(a)            The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)           In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.12(a), each Revolving Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.13          Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a)            General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein, including, without limitation, the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender’s Alternative Currency Funding Applicable Percentage of any payment made with respect to any Revolving Loan as to which any Alternative Currency Participating Lender has not funded its Alternative Currency Risk Participation) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)            (i)     Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) 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 Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds 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 (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loans constituting such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. In the event the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall reduce the principal amount of such Borrowing. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Revolving Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii)          Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 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 L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds 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 Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)           Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)            Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Revolving Loans (including Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies in the event they are Alternative Currency Funding Lenders), to fund participations in Letters of Credit, to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) and to fund Alternative Currency Risk Participations (if they are Alternative Currency Participating Lenders) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan (including Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency in the event it is an Alternative Currency Funding Lender), to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan (including Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency in the event it is an Alternative Currency Funding Lender), to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e)            Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.14          Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Revolving Loans made by it, the participations in L/C Obligations or the Alternative Currency Risk Participations held by it (but not including any amounts applied by the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender to Revolving Loans in respect of Alternative Currency Risk Participations that have not yet been funded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Revolving Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Revolving Loans (and purchase subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Alternative Currency Risk Participations of the other Revolving Lenders), or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the relevant Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Revolving Loans or such other amounts owing them, as applicable; provided that:

(i)            if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)           the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Revolving Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14 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 setoff 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.

2.15          Extension of Revolving Maturity Date.

(a)            Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders) not earlier than ninety (90) days and not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date then in effect (such date, an “Initial Revolving Maturity Date”), elect that the Revolving Lenders extend the Revolving Maturity Date for an additional six (6) months after such Initial Revolving Maturity Date; provided that the Borrower may not make more than two (2) such elections pursuant to this Section 2.15 during the term of this Agreement.

(b)            Confirmation by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall confirm receipt of the Borrower’s notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(a) no later than the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable Initial Revolving Maturity Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

(c)            Extension of Revolving Maturity Date. If (and only if) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.15(d) have been met, then, effective as of the applicable Initial Revolving Maturity Date, the Revolving Maturity Date shall be extended to the date falling six (6) months after such Initial Revolving Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Revolving Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day). Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.15(d), as certified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such certification to each Revolving Lender.

(d)           Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to such extension, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the applicable Initial Revolving Maturity Date signed by a Responsible Officer (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (y) certifying that (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Initial Revolving Maturity Date (other than the representations and warranties in Section 5.05(c) and Section 5.22, which shall be made only as of the Closing Date), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 and (2) as of such Initial Revolving Maturity Date, and immediately after giving effect to such extension, no Default exists and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders on such Initial Revolving Maturity Date a fee (to be shared among the Revolving Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments) equal to the product of (x) 0.0625% multiplied by (y) the then Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(e)            Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.02(b), 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.16          Increase in Revolving Commitments; Incremental Term Loans.

(a)            Request for Increase. From time to time, the Borrower shall have the right to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and/or enter into one or more new tranches (or increasing an existing tranche) of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided that (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) each increase or tranche of Incremental Term Loans must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as are agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), and (iii) after giving effect to all such Aggregate Revolving Commitment increases and all such Incremental Term Loans, the sum of the aggregate principal amounts of the Revolving Facility and all such Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed $3,750,000,000. At the time of sending such notice to the Administrative Agent of the exercise of such right, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the Lenders to be approached to provide all or a portion of such increase (subject in each case to any requisite consents required under Section 10.06) and the time period within which each such Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders).

(b)            Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Commitment or participate in such tranche, as the case may be, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase or tranche. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment, if any, or participate in such tranche, as the case may be. Any such increase or tranche shall be syndicated on a best efforts basis and no Lender shall be required to increase its Revolving Commitment, if any, or participate in any tranche of Incremental Term Loans to facilitate such increase or tranche.

(c)            Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. Subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel (a “New Lender Joinder Agreement”).

(d)            Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Revolving Commitments are increased or any tranche of Incremental Term Loans is extended in accordance with this Section 2.16, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase or tranche, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase or tranche, as the case may be, and the Increase Effective Date.

(e)            Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to any such increase or tranche, as the case may be:

(i)            the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase or tranche, as the case may be, and (B) certifying that (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date (other than the representations and warranties in Section 5.05(c) and Section 5.22, which shall be made only as of the Closing Date), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan the proceeds of which are to be used to finance an acquisition (including by means of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation) or other Investment not prohibited by this Agreement (and related transaction costs) the consummation of which is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third-party financing or that is otherwise subject to customary “funds certain provisions,” to the extent agreed by the applicable Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, the representations and warranties the accuracy of which in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall be accurate in all respects) are a condition to the funding of such Incremental Term Loan shall be limited to (x) the Specified Representations (or such other formulation thereof as may be agreed by the applicable Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) and (y) those representations of the acquired company in the applicable acquisition agreement that are material to the interests of the applicable Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and which, if breached or inaccurate, would give the Borrower or any Subsidiary the right to terminate or refuse to close under the applicable acquisition agreement, and (2) as of the Increase Effective Date, and immediately after giving effect to such increase or tranche, as the case may be, no Default or Event of Default exists; provided that, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan the proceeds of which are to be used to finance an acquisition or other Investment not prohibited by this Agreement (and related transaction costs) the consummation of which is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third-party financing or that is otherwise subject to customary “funds certain provisions,” to the extent agreed by the applicable Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, this condition shall be limited to (x) at the time of the execution and delivery of the applicable acquisition agreement related to such acquisition, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof and (y) upon the effectiveness and making of any Incremental Term Loan on the applicable Increase Effective Date, no Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result thereof;

(ii)          (A) upon the reasonable request of any Lender made at least five (5) days prior to the applicable Increase Effective Date, the Borrower shall have provided to such Lender the documentation and other information so requested by such Lender that satisfies all requirements of regulatory authorities applicable to such Lender and such Lender’s internal policies and procedures in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act and (B) if the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation it shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests at least five (5) days prior to the applicable Increase Effective Date, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to the Borrower;

(iii)         in the case of any tranche of Incremental Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and any other outstanding Incremental Term Loans, (B) shall not mature earlier than the latest Maturity Date then in effect (but may have amortization prior to such date so long as the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of any previously funded and then outstanding Incremental Term Loans (if any) at such time) and (C) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans and any other outstanding Incremental Term Loans; provided that (1) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the latest Maturity Date then in effect may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or requirements applicable only during periods after such Maturity Date then in effect, (2) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Revolving Loans and any other outstanding Incremental Term Loans and (3) other terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Revolving Loans to the extent such differences are solely administrative in nature or are terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent that customarily apply to syndicated term loan facilities but not revolving credit facilities (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Borrower). Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender participating in such tranche and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16; and

(iv)         in the case of any increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay any Committed Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.16; and

(v)          the Borrower shall provide a Note to any Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment or otherwise joining on the Increase Effective Date, if requested.

(f)            Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.

(g)            Fees. The Borrower shall pay such fees to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of the Lenders providing such additional Revolving Commitments or participating in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, as determined at the time of such increase or funding of such tranche of Incremental Term Loans and agreed to by the Borrower in writing.

(h)            Lenders. In connection with any increase of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.16, any new Lender party hereto shall (i) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) in the case of any new Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act.

2.17          Cash Collateral.

(a)            Certain Credit Support Events. (i) (A) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (x) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (y) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation (other than in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit) for any reason remains outstanding or (B) upon the request of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly, and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such request, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(ii)          If at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Facility, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

(iii)         In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that Cash Collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(iii) shall be refunded to the Borrower when the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations is less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect.

(iv)         The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided as required in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

(b)            Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. Each of the Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Revolving Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders (including the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (x) the aggregate amount of such applicable Fronting Exposure and obligations, over (y) the total amount of funds or other credit support, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.

(c)            Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under or applied pursuant to any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.06, 2.18 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Alternative Currency Risk Participations shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations or obligations to fund Alternative Currency Risk Participations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Facility, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d)            Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), together with all interest, if any, that has accrued on such amount, following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by (x) the cure or waiver of the relevant Event of Default in respect of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Section 8.02 and (y) the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vii))), (ii) as provided in Section 2.17(a)(iii) (solely to the extent described therein) or (iii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower (including any interest thereon) shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.17 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03 during the continuance of an Event of Default), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral (including any interest thereon) shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.18          Defaulting Lenders.

(a)            Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i)            Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01 and in the definitions of “Required Class Lenders” and “Required Lenders.”

(ii)            Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or any Alternative Currency Risk Participation; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)            Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any facility fee on unfunded amounts pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender except only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans funded by it, (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided (or is deemed to have provided) Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii), Section 2.17 or Section 2.18(a)(ii), as applicable, and (3) its Alternative Currency Participant’s Share of all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies for which it is deemed to have provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 2.18(a)(ii), as applicable (and the Borrower shall (A) be required to pay to each of the L/C Issuer and the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, as applicable, the amount of such facility fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from such Defaulting Lender (solely to the extent not Cash Collateralized by the Borrower) and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such facility fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender during such period), and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(g).

(iv)            Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Facility, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Alternative Currency Risk Participations pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.03, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each such non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Alternative Currency Risk Participations shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans of such Lender. Subject to Section 10.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b)            Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and, if such Lender is a Revolving Lender, funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Alternative Currency Risk Participations of the other Revolving Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Alternative Currency Risk Participations to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that subject to Section 10.20 and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01          Taxes.

(a)            Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 3.01(e), (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)            Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c)            Tax Indemnification. (i) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b), the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, to the extent such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable in respect of any payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise with respect to any Loan Document or activities related 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 any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)            Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b), each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and do hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d)            Evidence of Payments. 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)            Status of Lenders. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), Section 3.01(e)(ii)(B) and Section 3.01(e)(ii)(C)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States:

(A)            any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed copies of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B)            each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)            duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii)           duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(iii)          duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(iv)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or

(v)           any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(C)            if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. 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 and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and 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. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(iii)            Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Law of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(iv)            Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)            Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.01(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.02(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.02(f) if the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

3.02          Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), LIBOR Daily Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or the Alternative Currency Daily Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market (each an “Affected Loan”), then (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, which notice shall (i) in the case of any such restriction or prohibition with respect to an Alternative Currency, include such Revolving Lender’s notification that it will thenceforth be an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to such Alternative Currency, and (ii) be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist, (b) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars and LIBOR Daily Loans, to convert a Base Rate Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be suspended and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Base Rate Loan when an Affected Loan denominated in Dollars is requested and to purchase Alternative Currency Risk Participations when an Affected Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency is requested, (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, denominated in Dollars, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, (d) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be immediately repaid by the Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by any such requirement of Law) together with accrued interest thereon and (e) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.05. Any Lender that is or becomes an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to any Alternative Currency pursuant to this Section 3.02 or otherwise as provided in this Agreement shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in the event that the impediment resulting in its being or becoming an Alternative Currency Participating Lender is alleviated in a manner such that it can become an Alternative Currency Funding Lender with respect to such Alternative Currency.

3.03          Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)            If the Required Lenders determine for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a LIBOR Daily Loan or an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or continuation thereof, as applicable, that (A) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or the applicable term with respect to such LIBOR Daily Loan, (B) (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or for determining the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate for any applicable term with respect to a proposed LIBOR Daily Loan or for determining the Alternative Currency Daily Rate with respect to a proposed Alterative Currency Daily Rate Loan and (y) the circumstances described in Section 3.03(b) or (c), as applicable, do not apply (in each case with respect to clause (A) or (B), “Impacted Loans”), or (C) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate for any applicable term with respect to a proposed LIBOR Daily Loan or the Alternative Currency Daily Rate with respect to a proposed Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, as the case may be, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in the affected currency or currencies, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies and/or LIBOR Daily Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended to the extent of the affected Loans or Interest Periods and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or any pending request for a Borrowing of or conversion to LIBOR Daily Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Daily Loans or periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a pending request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a LIBOR Daily Loan or an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or conversion or continuation in an Alternative Currency as to which the Required Lenders have made the determination described in clause (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this paragraph, unless revoked by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative interest rate that reflects the all-in-cost of funds to such Lenders for funding Loans in the applicable currency and amount, and with the same Interest Period or term, as applicable, as the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (x) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this paragraph, (y) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (z) any affected Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

(b)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if the then current Benchmark is LIBOR with respect to Dollars (“USD LIBOR”), solely with respect to such Benchmark:

(i)            On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(ii)          (x)             Upon a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace USD LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that the Benchmark Replacement for USD LIBOR shall be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” unless the Administrative Agent determines that neither of such alternative rates is available.

(y)           On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace USD LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)         At any time that the administrator of USD LIBOR has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(iv)            In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(v)            The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03(b).

(vi)            At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of USD LIBOR that is unavailable or non-representative for such Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for USD LIBOR (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(vii)            Solely for purposes of this Section 3.03(b), the following defined terms shall apply:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

“Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR. Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

“Benchmark Replacement” means:

(1)            For purposes of Section 3.03(b)(i), the first alternative set forth below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

(a)            the sum of: (i) Term SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points) for an Available Tenor of one-month’s duration, 0.26161% (26.161 basis points) for an Available Tenor of three-months’ duration, 0.42826% (42.826 basis points) for an Available Tenor of six-months’ duration, and 0.71513% (71.513 basis points) for an Available Tenor of twelve-months’ duration, or

(b)            the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) 0.11448% (11.448 basis points);

provided that, if initially USD LIBOR is replaced with the rate contained in clause (b) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the applicable spread adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and each Lender of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Benchmark Replacement shall be as set forth in clause (a) above; and

(2)            For purposes of Section 3.03(b)(ii), the sum of (a) the alternate benchmark rate and (b) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by a Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;

provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than 0.00%, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Benchmark Replacement shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

“Daily Simple SOFR” with respect to any applicable determination date means the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published on such date by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website (or any successor source).

“Early Opt-in Effective Date” means, with respect to any Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

“Early Opt-in Election” means the occurrence of:

(1)            a determination by the Administrative Agent, or a notification by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has made a determination, that U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in Section 3.03(b), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace USD LIBOR, and

(2)            the joint election by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to replace USD LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Lenders.

“Other Rate Early Opt-in” means the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have elected to replace USD LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement other than a SOFR-based rate pursuant to (1) an Early Opt-in Election and (2) Section 3.03(b)(ii) and clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement.”

“SOFR Early Opt-in” means the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have elected to replace USD LIBOR pursuant to (1) an Early Opt-in Election and (2) Section 3.03(b)(i) and clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement.”

“Term SOFR” means, for the applicable corresponding tenor (or if any Available Tenor of a Benchmark does not correspond to an Available Tenor for the applicable Benchmark Replacement, the closest corresponding Available Tenor and if such Available Tenor corresponds equally to two Available Tenors of the applicable Benchmark Replacement, the corresponding tenor of the shorter duration shall be applied), the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.

This Section 3.03(b) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, but subject to the provisions of Section 3.03(b) with respect to the replacement of USD LIBOR, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i)            adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)            the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Agreed Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii)            syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency;

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate (as defined below) then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this Section 3.03(c) with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”; it being understood that any initial Successor Rate with respect to USD LIBOR shall be determined pursuant to Section 3.03(b)), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0.00%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

This Section 3.03(c) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

3.04          Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a)            Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Administrative Agent, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii)           subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or LIBOR Daily Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

(iii)          impose on the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, LIBOR Daily Loans or Alternative Currency Daily 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 the Administrative Agent or such Lender of making, maintaining, converting to or continuing any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)           Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. The Borrower shall not be required to pay such additional amounts unless such amounts are the result of requirements imposed generally on lenders similar to such Lender or such L/C Issuer and not the result of some specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on such Lender or such L/C Issuer as a result of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s special circumstances.

(c)           Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.04(a) or 3.04(b) and delivered to the Borrower, in detail sufficient to enable the Borrower to verify the computation thereof, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. Any amounts requested to be payable pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be requested in good faith (and not on an arbitrary and capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or L/C Issuer after consideration of factors as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, then reasonably determines to be relevant.

(d)           Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Administrative Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)           Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan and LIBOR Daily Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Revolving Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the LIBOR Daily Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Revolving Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice.

(f)            The provisions set forth in Sections 3.04(a), (b) and (e) above shall not apply to the extent any increased cost is already compensated for by payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01.

3.05        Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (other than loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

(a)            any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)           any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

(c)            any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

(d)           any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; or

(e)            any change in the applicable Spot Rate between the date of funding of an Alternative Currency Risk Participation pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(iii) and the date of repayment by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(vi).

The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, any loss or expense arising from the termination of any foreign exchange contract.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market for the relevant currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06        Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)           Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)           Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, 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 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07        Survival.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IV

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

4.02        Conditions to All Credit Extensions.

The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than (x) the initial extensions of credit on the Closing Date and (y) a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to another Type, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a)            The representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document required to be furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such Credit Extension (other than the representations and warranties in Section 5.05(c) and Section 5.22, which shall be made only as of the Closing Date), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 4.02, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01.

Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to another Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans) submitted by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.

109

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, payment of breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap Contract between the Borrower and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender and amounts owing under Treasury Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates of Lenders), the Treasury Management Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

9.04        Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05        Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

9.06        Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States; provided that if any such potential successor is not classified as a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1, then the Borrower shall have the right to prohibit such potential successor from becoming the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (and subject to the approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing)), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if any such potential successor is not classified as a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1, then the Borrower shall have the right to prohibit such potential successor from becoming the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, if the retiring Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed hereunder) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

112

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, unless otherwise agreed to between the Borrower and Bank of America. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Alternative Currency Fronting Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents as an L/C Issuer and Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the retiring L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit and (d) the successor Alternative Currency Fronting Lender shall make arrangements with the resigning Alternative Currency Fronting Lender for the funding of all outstanding Alternative Currency Risk Participations.

9.07        Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08        No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or Senior Managing Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

9.09        Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)            to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(g) and (h), 2.10 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

113

(b)            to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.10        Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in Same Day Funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, with the consent of the other (but without the consent of any other Person), amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency, omission, mistake or defect or correct any obvious error or any error or omission of an administrative or technical nature so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not impose additional obligations on any Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Lenders notice of, and provide to the Lenders a copy of, any such amendment, modification or supplement, and (B) this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Revolving Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, and such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or, with respect to Revolving Lenders, the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow the Borrower to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

116

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional revolving credit or term loan facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit and all related obligations and liabilities arising in connection therewith from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders, the Lenders providing such additional credit facilities to participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the Required Lenders or by any other number, percentage or class of Lenders hereunder.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to (A) allow the maturity of the Revolving Commitments or Loans of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended, (B) modify the Applicable Rate and/or fees payable with respect to the Loans and Revolving Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (C) modify any covenants or other provisions or add new covenants or provisions that are agreed between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Accepting Lenders; provided that such modified or new covenants and provisions are applicable only during periods after the applicable Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Permitted Amendment, and (D) any other amendment to a Loan Document required to give effect to the Permitted Amendments described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this paragraph (“Permitted Amendments,” and any amendment to this Agreement to implement Permitted Amendments, a “Loan Modification Agreement”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Revolving Commitments and/or Loans of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Revolving Commitments and/or Loans as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof, and the Borrower shall also deliver such resolutions, opinions and other documents as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendments evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Revolving Commitments and Loans of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made, (2) any applicable Lender who is not an Accepting Lender may be replaced by the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.13, and (3) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to make any amendments or modifications to any Loan Documents necessary to allow any borrowings, prepayments, participations in Letters of Credit and commitment reductions to be ratable across each Class of commitments to make Loans the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Loan Modification Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Lenders; provided that with the consent of the Accepting Lenders such prepayments and commitment reductions and reductions in participations in Letters of Credit may be applied on a non-ratable basis to the class of non-Accepting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended in connection with Incremental Term Loans, as set forth in Section 2.16(e)(iii).

(a)            Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel, and, if applicable, one local counsel in each material jurisdiction, for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, due diligence, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above with respect to legal fees) and (iii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender (limited, in the case of legal fees, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (x) one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent (and, if reasonably required, one counsel for the Administrative Agent per specialty area and one local counsel for the Administrative Agent per applicable jurisdiction) and (y) one additional counsel for all the Lenders (and, if reasonably required, one additional counsel per specialty area and one local counsel per applicable jurisdiction), plus additional counsel for the Lenders as necessary in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest among the Lenders), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.04, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (subject to the limitations set forth above with respect to legal fees) incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

120

(b)            Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, the Agents and their Affiliates and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Indemnitees; provided that reimbursement for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of additional counsel of the Indemnitees will be limited to such specialist counsel as may reasonably be required by the Indemnitees, a single firm of local counsel for the Indemnitees in each material jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest (as reasonably determined by the applicable Indemnitee), one additional firm of counsel to each group of similarly affected Indemnitees), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, each Lender’s agreement to make Loans or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof) or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses (A)(x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Parties or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith or a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) arise out of a dispute solely among Indemnitees and not resulting from any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than any such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 3.01 shall be the sole remedy for any indemnification claim in respect of Taxes. The Borrower shall not, except as a result of its indemnification obligations hereunder, and nor shall any of its Related Parties have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in connection with its activities related to the Revolving Facility.

(c)            Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.04(a) or 10.04(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing and without relieving the Borrower of its obligations with respect thereto, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.04(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).

121

(d)            Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee or Related Indemnified Party referred to in Section 10.04(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

(e)            Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor (accompanied by backup documentation to the extent available).

(f)            Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.05      Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06      Successors and Assigns.

(a)            Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

122

(b)            Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Alternative Currency Risk Participations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

(A)            in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment(s) and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)            in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts. 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 with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitments assigned;

(iii)          Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Person that is a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of any Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to any Revolving Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

123

(B)           the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Person that is a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of any Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to any Revolving Lender;

(C)           the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment of a Revolving Commitment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);

(D)           [reserved]; and

(E)            the consent of the Lead Alternative Currency Fronting Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if upon effectiveness of the applicable assignment the proposed assignee would be an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to any Alternative Currency.

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)           No Assignment to the Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi)            No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

(vii)            No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (vii).

(viii)            Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Alternative Currency Risk Participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

124

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver Note(s) to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)            Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the L/C Issuer and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)            Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person), a Defaulting Lender (or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and its Alternative Currency Risk Participations under the Revolving Facility) 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 Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

125

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 3.06 and 10.13 and any requirements or limitations contained therein as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)          Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f)          Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge, assign or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)          [Reserved].

126

(h)          Resignation as L/C Issuer or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Alternative Currency Fronting Lender. In the event of any such resignation or any other Person’s resignation as L/C Issuer or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders (with the applicable Revolving Lender’s consent) a successor L/C Issuer or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(b)). If the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender resigns as Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender hereunder with respect to all Alternative Currency Risk Participations outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the Alternative Currency Fronting Lender and all obligations of the Borrower or any other Revolving Lender with respect thereto (including the right to require Alternative Currency Participating Lenders to fund any Alternative Currency Risk Participations therein in the manner provided in Section 2.02(f)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Alternative Currency Fronting Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by the resigning L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07          Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) on a need-to-know basis to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, consultants, service providers and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any governmental agency or regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower that the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or the L/C Issuer reasonably believes is not bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower, (i) to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder (provided such rating agencies are advised of the confidential nature of such information and agree to keep such information confidential) or (j) to any Person that would qualify as an Eligible Assignee hereunder (without giving effect to the consent required under Section 10.06(b)(iii)) providing financing to the disclosing Lender, to the extent reasonably required by such Person (provided such other Persons are advised of the confidential nature of such information and agree to keep such information confidential). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and customary information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Commitments.

127

For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary 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 10.07 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 or its other similarly situated customers’ confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08          Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

128

10.09          Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10          Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11          Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.12          Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

129

10.13          Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, 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 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender does not consent to any amendment or waiver of any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document for which its consent is required under Section 10.01 after Required Lenders or applicable Required Class Lenders have consented thereto, 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, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a)          the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b) shall have been paid to or waived by the Administrative Agent;

(b)          such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, funded Alternative Currency Risk Participations and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) 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);

(c)          in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)          such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 10.13 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further, that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

10.14          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a)          GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

(c)          WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 10.14(b). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

10.16          No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.17          USA Patriot Act Notice.

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any 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 “Patriot 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 or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.18          Delivery of Signature Page.

Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement on the date hereof shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent a counterpart of this Agreement duly executed by such Lender.

10.19          Judgment Currency.

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 10.19 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

132

10.20          Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.

Solely to the extent any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

133

10.22          No Novation.

(a)          As of the Closing Date, the Revolving Commitments under (and as defined) in the Existing Credit Agreement of the Departing Lenders shall be terminated by the Borrower. The remaining Lenders under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be Lenders under this Agreement with Revolving Commitments as set forth on Schedule 2.01 hereto. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Lender that was a Lender under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement hereby consents to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and to the non-pro rata reduction of Revolving Commitments under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement occurring on the Closing Date as a result of the termination of the Revolving Commitments of the Departing Lenders, and the concurrent repayment in full of all loans and other obligations owing (whether or not due) to the Departing Lenders. On the Closing Date, effective immediately following such termination and repayment, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Existing Credit Agreement or the obligations evidenced thereby or provided for thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all Existing Letters of Credit shall on the Closing Date become Letters of Credit hereunder, (ii) the “Loans” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement of each applicable Departing Lender shall be repaid in full (provided that any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon shall be paid to such Departing Lender concurrently with payment of such interest and fees to the other applicable Lenders and such “Loans” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be assigned and reallocated among the remaining Lenders as set forth below), each applicable Departing Lender’s “Revolving Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated and each applicable Departing Lender shall not be a Lender hereunder, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit and loan exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s outstanding Loans and Revolving Commitments hereunder reflect such Lender’s pro rata share of the outstanding aggregate Loans and Revolving Commitments on the Closing Date, and (iv) all other Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall on the Closing Date be Obligations under this Agreement (to the extent not repaid on the Closing Date). To the extent the Existing Credit Agreement provides that certain terms survive the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement or survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable thereunder, then such terms shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

(c)          On the Closing Date, the Existing Revolving Note, if any, held by each Departing Lender shall be deemed to be cancelled. On the Closing Date, the Existing Revolving Note, if any, held by each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be cancelled and, if such Revolving Lender has requested a Revolving Note hereunder, amended and restated by the Revolving Note delivered to such Lender hereunder on or about the Closing Date (regardless of whether any Revolving Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower for cancellation the Existing Revolving Note held by it). Each Revolving Lender, whether or not requesting a Revolving Note hereunder, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Existing Revolving Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation and/or amendment and restatement. All amounts owing under, and evidenced by, the Existing Revolving Notes as of the Closing Date shall continue to be outstanding hereunder (subject to such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit and loan exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as referred to in Section 10.22(a)(iii)), and shall from and after the Closing Date, if requested by the Revolving Lender holding such Existing Revolving Note, be evidenced by the Revolving Notes, and shall in any event be evidenced by, and governed by the terms of, this Agreement. Each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, actions or claims that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Borrower arising out of such Revolving Lender’s failure to deliver the Existing Revolving Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation, subject to the condition that the Borrower shall not make any payment to any Person claiming to be the holder of such Existing Revolving Note unless such Revolving Lender is first notified of such claim and is given the opportunity, at such Revolving Lender’s sole cost and expense, to assert any defenses to such payment.

134

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Existing Credit Agreement, each lender party to the Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives any compensation pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement in connection with any reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of any credit and loan exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as referred to in Section 10.22(a)(iii) or any other payment or prepayment of Obligations on the Closing Date.

10.23          Lender Representations.

(a)          Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date or such later date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the Closing Date or such later date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)          such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii)         the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii)        (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv)        such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

135

(b)          In addition, unless either (1) subclause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with subclause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date or such later date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the Closing Date or such later date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

10.24          Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support,” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)          In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)          As used in this Section 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

136

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
